Can anyone on poast in great detail explain to me what a driveby shitpost is?
-
@Bead @OceanRedux He wanted it to stop because it's the kinda thing that creates pointless drama and gets us defederated even more. Pernia had to be kicked out for that
-
@Bead that is shockingly close to being correct 👌 im impressed lol
-
I used to do it occasionally and Moon would always creep into my DMs begging me to stop.
-
A drive by shitpost is when you are browsing the federated timeline and see someone saying something incredibly gay or retarded and say so. You leave without listening to any response and just ignore the thread.
If you really want to piss Moon off do that constantly.

@coolboymew @Bead @OceanRedux >Pernia
I recognize that name hmm

@coolboymew @Bead @OceanRedux I was having GNU Social nostalgia and god damn it is a small world. I'm not logged in. We live in a simulation
-
@olmitch @Bead @OceanRedux The GNU social days were comfy but the instances problems weren't lol
-
@coolboymew @Bead @OceanRedux in pernia's case it was because it was happening non stop
-
@Moon @Bead @OceanRedux yeah, I remember lol

@coolboymew @Bead Essentially, driveby shitposting is when you talk down to your peon followers from on up high and only address drama when you KNOW it will get you clout, otherwise you ignore any and all criticism.
There are times when people are so famous / popular that if they reply to even one "normie", suddenly everyone will think they can get a reply / gain clout off you. So they ignore the masses, just drive by, plop down a golden nugget of wisdom, and speed off.
I;E - the entirety of cuckservative twitter, and the entirety of liberal faggots on tiktok

@Moon @Bead @coolboymew People who nonstop driveby shitpost because they think they're above criticism piss me off so fucking much m8 its unreal.
-
@OceanRedux @Moon @Bead @coolboymew I'll be the first to call myself an autistic retard therefor defusing further criticism. 😏
-
@Bead @OceanRedux @coolboymew honestly I agree with you I just decided it was causing more trouble than the catharsis it gave.
-
But at the same time there are arguments that literally deserve nothing more than a "kill yourself, faggot," before you mute the thread and move on.
-
@OceanRedux @Bead @coolboymew pernia is pernia, I love him, he's just best on his own managed fedi domain.
-
@Bead @Moon @coolboymew yeah but calling people who are purposely opening up twitter, typing some retarded shit they KNOW will get criticized, and then going "tehe *clicks tweet button* 😤 - they're blessed to even be in my presence" - retarded faggots who should kill themselves, will get you banned. They have no intention of ever interacting in any way, positive or negative - with their followers. Ever.
-
@Bead @Moon @coolboymew And the best part is these people think they're gladiators fighting the culture war and are too busy for rolling around in the fucking mud pit they claim to represent.
Wanna know why RFK Jr is soaring in popularity? He replies to normies. Wanna know why elon musk is super popular? He replies to normies.
Those are two examples of people who NEVER driveby shitpost, surprisingly.
Mark zuckerberg? The chance youd ever get a response from him?, you have a better chance of getting hit by lightning immediately after winning a jackpot, m8.
-
@OceanRedux @Bead @Moon @coolboymew 100% accurate take.
Driveby and 'culture war' grifters don't care though, they're only in it for the money and nothing else. Why would they bother responding to criticisms or anything else for that matter? People are still paying them regardless.
It's fucking madness.
