Uh Oh:

The community's existence alone -without a clear satire label- has made a fair number of people uncomfortable. I hope 'uncomfortable' is the greatest extent of harm caused, though to be clear, greater distress not encompassed by this word is a valid response that I don't take lightly. I'm currently working on a way to make the community's intent clear without "ruining the magic".

Please feel free to DM me if you don't feel comfortable commenting publicly

Edit:

Good morning! What a sad thing to read upon first waking lol. Everyone is pretty much saying the same thing, so I'll clarify this bit

The purpose of Chad is to be a hated vector for general satire and high effort shitposting. The purpose of the community is to be a circlejerk-style platform for content that requires a level of moderator scrutiny I can't expect from the mods of regular shitposting communities.

A lot of the content that seems to 'fall flat' are basically inside jokes and obscure references. I've made a post that's only funny if you're a law student; one that's only funny to opera nerds and/or French speakers; some etymology/language gags; two best enjoyed by people with ADHD; one for people who read leftist theory. I include references to ITYSL, Monty Python, Napoleon Dynamite, and more. Much of it is parody of obscure Lemmy things that only the chronically online will catch.

This doesn't mean I think your opinions and feelings about it are in any way invalid. The thoughts shared here have given me a lot to think about, so thank you
