The Libs of Lemmy love to complain about how Hexbear is both strong and weak, dying and yet still one of the top instances by post count. You know they look at Hexbear and are angry with our power but are powerless to stop it.
So it would be a funny bit to massively inflate our post count.
Okay don’t go spam every thread that’s probably not appropriate but instead post at least twice in this one and let’s pump those posting numbers up.
If you need some ideas for things to post, try:
- Your favorite emoji
- A funny thing you saw this week
- A word you like
- A cool animal fact
- Or something else
This reads like the Bit Idea Megathread.
Anyway that’s the bit
It’s a strange notion that double posting is considered poor form in the first place. What if I have two unrelated things to say? Doesn’t it make more sense to split those ideas into two posts?
Honestly who would care if I replied to a post 11 times with 11 different unrelated ideas?
Parallel, asyncronous communication is a thing to be embraced, and I would go so far as to say that we should just have massive mega posts years old and thousands of comments long about common topics instead of starting new ones whenever we have something new to add.
It’s a holdover from a time when it was poor form to bump things to the top in a forum.
Dumbass rules and etiquette is probably a good portion of why forums died actually. I think the most obvious example of this was telling people to “search” instead of just answering the question.
