I think it's more interesting to have less rote responses, though some people totally have a ppb coming. If we reach for "ppb" or "hog out" or whatever at first sight of conflict, it's reduced to nothing better than a verbal tic and a genre of spam. It's better for the influence of our instance on the others to have more personalized responses (and sometimes even engaging!)

True, people are too unimaginative with their bullying. Ppb is largely played out already, we need to be on the forefront of new developments in lib bullying.

Hopefully some of that pent off energy is tempered after a week or two of 500+ comment China struggle sessions to establish where everyone stand

If we aren't isolated by then, I'm hoping that the liberals will realize that they actually need to come up with some substance in their criticisms instead of relying on silly redditisms

[–] ImOnADiet@lemmygrad.ml 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

there's currently a struggle session about to hit 600 comments in c/cth, I'm fairly certain it has a good chance of hitting 1k comments by the end of the week

[–] spectre@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah haha I've been following it, that active sort is gonna keep it up for another 3-5 days for sure lol

Def, I'd prefer quality over quantity

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 67 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (5 children)

I mean yes, me too, but I also don't want to annoy Lemmygrad with too much ppb because some of them don't like it.

And I want to respect Lemmygrads wishes because they've been super nice to us.

Maybe just keep ppb to libs that come to us?

[–] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 43 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I cannot compute the idea of ppb not being funny.

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 39 points 2 years ago (2 children)

apparently it's huge for them, so that might be part of it.

pig poop balls more like BIG poop balls pigpoop

One of them is significantly larger

I'm sorry to the people who don't like it (not the chuds) but this is still just the absolute funniest fucking thing in the world so I can only apologize with my words but not my heart.

Browsing from a mobile app, I know exactly what they mean.

It gets exhausting to browse threads with all the emojis if they aren't the proper size. The gross-out factor of ppb compounds it all

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

It's conceptually kind of funny but for some people the gross element is outweighs that

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 29 points 2 years ago (1 children)

PPB is ours, we should keep it close and cherish it at home

Every PPB is sacred

This is the way.

But yknow, PIGPOOPBALLS is still funny as fuck.

[–] YearOfTheCommieDesktop@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's too small, it doesn't have the same shock value

and we can no longer make it bigger with markdown angery

linking to hexbear.net/PPB stays winning

[–] asa_red_heathen@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Look owl, I just want people to fight more. Fight over here, fight over there, its all fair game as far as Im concerned. Wherever there are liberals someone should be there bullying them.

it makes the most sense that way IMO, but I'm ambivalent. I'd focus more on dunks, and then insults for those who are clearly just committed reactionaries. PPB for dipshits who wander into our comms is perfection though

[–] Redderthanmisty@lemmygrad.ml 46 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Is it funny? Abso-fuckin-lutely.

Does it also turn those on the edge away from socialism and solidify their stereotypes of us? Also yes.

Just keep that in mind, and reserve the nuclear dunking for those who are acting in bad faith.

[–] asa_red_heathen@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Actually I think bullying people makes them more susceptible to self crit and therefore helps socialist movements more than placid civility

[–] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

Both are good because different things work for different people, and sometimes the combination works when one or the other doesn't.

So far I haven't been impressed with the reddit-logo tier liberals that wander into here expecting "hello fellow progressive, wouldn't it save the world if only we had legal weed and free college?" And maybe expect circlejerks about how Drumpf is finished any day now. pathetic

Otherwise be chill about it, but also try to bait them here sicko-yes

I agree, but the posts need more pepe-silvia flavor

[–] YearOfTheCommieDesktop@hexbear.net 23 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

yes honestly watching them be absolutely befuddled is funnier than your average ppb. And they don't even have jesse-wtf to express it

[–] Parsani@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah, my favorite responses today has been:

WTF does this even mean

and

You people are very confusing.

I never realized until just now that the guy is wearing a zip-up collared shirt.

A plaid collared shirt. With a zipper. As the fastening.

IDK, I think the liberals are getting enough push back.

[–] asa_red_heathen@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Liberals cannot ever get enough push back, thats my philosophy
