What is it with Lemmy users and not knowing what shitposting is…

Probably has to do with it not being defined except for being confusing and possibly enraging

Would posting any other lie be a "shitpost"?

It’s in the shitpost community, it’s like a textbook shitpost…

When you watch TV do you say the actors are liars because they’re not actually the characters?

It’s supposed to be stupid and ridiculous.

Yeah because when I watch TV the only expectation I have is for the actors just to state falsehoods /s

Apparently according to people like you, this community should've just been named falsehoods

It basically is named c/falsehoods, it's shitposting, I don't get why this is so hard for you.

Mate, did you really wake up this beautiful Sunday thinking it's worth dying on this hill?

I also hate it when I find shitposts in my shitpost community.

Right shitpost just means shitty post without anything clever or funny about it /s

This is a textbook shitpost and the people getting mad about it is more evidence that it's a shitpost.

"See if you think it's a lie, that proves it's a shitpost!"

So shitpost just means "I don't ever want to see this pointless, boring and unfunny misinformation". Cool, thanks for clearing that up.

It's satire, it mocks the idiocy of plugging AI into every single conceivable product or the current AI-will-solve-every-problem techbro overhype that's constantly being talked about every day now.

Just cause you thought it was real and googled it doesn't make it less of a shitpost my dude, sorry.

I checked because I knew it was fake. Just because you don't think shitposts should be funny or interesting doesn't mean they are specifically designed to just be a lie and nothing else.

This criticizes nothing and communicates a false idea. Enjoy your "shitposts" and please don't reply

I checked because I knew it was fake.

I'm dying right now.

Just because you don’t think shitposts should be funny or interesting doesn’t mean they are specifically designed to just be a lie and nothing else.

Just because you think shitposts should be funny or interesting doesn't mean they should. Per the wiki "Content that is of 'aggressively, ironically, and trollishly poor quality.' Shitposts are generally intentionally designed to derail discussions or cause the biggest reaction with the least effort" Or "A deliberate provocation designed for maximum impact with minimum effort."

I don't actually see humor or interesting in there at all, in fact it being humorous or interesting might make it not a shitpost.

Enjoy your “shitposts”

I'm enjoying this a lot.

and please don’t reply

I'm dying right now.

You obviously don't think conversation should be interesting or funny either

Check which subcommunity you're in.

Despite what you all think, shitpost doesn't just mean "shitty post".

Key word there is "just". It can include other things, but it can simply be a low effort post meant to infuriate people.

Judging by the thread, and the fact that you keep dying on this hill, it worked beautifully on you.
