>If I respond I'll be brigaded by an entrenched clique for defending myself and ultimately b& all i'm saying is, i don't go a round trying to brigade / run people from the site. the block option is there for a reason. people should be encouraged to use it. i've literally seen people on here bragging about gettin' people to rage quit. i think that's wrong,. there's those that clearly provoke others, exercising clout. I'm just doing a bit of cross platform posting, which is congruent with the spirit of fediverse. that's how information / ideas are disseminated. i'm not lookin' to enthrone myself here like just another fractal of Plato's cave. youtu.be/bWuXfIZiSqY?si=YsuxkeXm5X4xITnp

in fairness, the culture borrows heavily from 4chan. The use of slurs/ in-jokes as fidelity tests (just missing the gore). also there's greentext. look, it's just a bit of cross platform posting. look at all the screengrabs from other websites that are both news & injecting content to encourage debate and lulz. to be honest, i think my original point still stands. the internet is de-centralizing- and i think that's a good thing - but it's up to users to cross platform post to make sure info spreads. i mean, if you just want a monolithic culture with only your own selected clique of users, what's the point in the website? A private discord would be more suitable.

Poast is the spot where people who got banned off of every other platform wind up, and then they tend to shuffle off to similar instances with cultures more fitting for what they want. Generally if you fit in *extremely* poorly on poast, then you're probably not going to fit in well on the instances that regularly interact with it. You'd be told to fuck off on just about every instance I can think of with people who I regularly interact with. You have free speech inclinations, so I'm not going to just tell you to fuck off to mastodon.social. Try c.im or qoto.

I am a moderator of Poast, while I do not think you have broken any of our rules yet I would advise you to stop being such a reddit addicted reply guy and to lurk moar. as has been established time and time again, Poast has a very particular culture that does not change when some bill burr watching faggot comes around and critiques it, that brigading exists for a reason, it's called a filter, if you can't handle that, I suggest you leave (get filtered) https://i.poastcdn.org/fcea084b4c31ddcdd23159411af8df02b6063974b3fef2ed74a5cdacffba7d8e.mp4
