@atomicpoet This conversation seems to be lacking a definition of shitposting for us to coalesce around. Is it silly banter intended to amuse, or is it intentionally provocative banter with ill intent? If the former, then I enjoy following a few ex-birdsite shitposters, but don't often boost them because that's not the tone I want to set for my account. But I fully support their right to exist on the universe. All power to the user for deciding what kinds of accounts they want to follow. Here in the Fediverse we get to create our own experience based on what we're looking for.
