    The people posting in those subs probably don’t even know either. Fascists upvoting communists and vice versa because nobody wants to admit they don’t get the joke

      Huh. I didn’t notice that. And I got this image from Pixabay, when I was unable to make an AI image that worked for the meme. At least up until now, Pixabay hasn’t had a bunch of AI images, but maybe this one is. It’s pretty good, though.

    I’ve literally subbed for months trying to figure out if a community is sarcastic or not.

        At which point someone starts a new parody sub, with an even more bananas-ass name that nobody understands, because the ultra-mega-meta coded references it makes are, like, six permutations deep. And the whole cycle begins again.

      Yeah, but on rocket fuel and crack cocaine. People getting way too fart-sniffing with their own sarcasm and double-reverse trolling was always a problem. That shit has now been extra confounded and complexified by the sheer DENSITY of meme and shitpost culture, over there.

      If you look away for a couple of weeks, you might as well have been in a coma for ten years. Nothing makes sense, even the comments on every post are dense and packed with in-jokes and sub-memes, and whole new communities are created every fucking day, just to delve further into the meta-meme-ification.

        People are addicted to being in the in-circle like that. It’s a rush having something so secretly in common with others. It can consume people.

    Why does anyone need to figure out whether a forum is left or right leaning? You go there and if you like the content you stay and if you dont like the content you leave, its literally that easy.
