Dunk posts in general go in the_dunk_tank, not here

Don't get me wrong it's very funny when used in the right way, but there's so many ways to dunk challenge yourselves to get creative.

Right now it just feels a bit cliché, a bit like low-effort spam. We should be low-effort, but if we're all just posting ppb all the time it seems like we simply don't have any original ideas.

PPB is most powerful when it's occasional. Only post if nobody's posted it yet, and if the thread doesn't even dignify a response.

Ppb is always the last resort

[–] charlie@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago

Never a "pre-emptive" last resort.

Who the fuck is scraeming "Cool it with the ppb!" at my house. Show yourself, coward. I will never cool it with the ppb.

The AccountVerificationBot (maybe not exactly right?) referencing the "Policy Posting Bulletin" is hilarious

Every dipshit liberal that comes here to brigade will be met with PPB this is not negotiable.

[–] spectre@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago

Sure, but I think we're mostly focused on its usage on other instances.

Once they're on our territory, pretty much anything goes

It’s when they encounter it. It should be when they reach peak frustration from not reading our posts and we determined they are no longer to be engaged seriously

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago

Low effort wreckers deserve low effort responses, but I still agree that mixing up the low effort responses is a good idea.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago

Absolutely right, not worth getting defederated over

[–] Parsani@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

https://hexbear.net/post/316342 this has been a decent example of non-ppb posting. These are just growing pains

[–] blight@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

what a mess

[–] MultigrainCerealista@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just change the macro and most of us will never find it again

:good-point:

Anything goes at home, hyperlink/not at all/under a spoiler for away posting seems a better guideline to avoid bystanders catching strays.

[–] Pseudoplatanus22@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

I find the original trollface works well. Just the right level of rage-inducing "tee-hee" ironic detatchment that makes a poster a poster.

Unlimited PPB on the lemmy federation.

[–] blight@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

PPB IS OUR HERITAGE AND WILL NOT BE DISRESPECTED.

[–] Abraxiel@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

I think a lot of people are catching strays they either don't deserve or haven't earned yet. I expect it will mellow out eventually though.
