#SHITPOSTING: a digital ritual wherein the absurd, the ironic & the nonsensical engage in a three way of self incest. The internet's way of holding a funhouse mirror to reality, reflecting its distortions back at those too earnest to laugh.

E.g., when a meme with the Pillsbury dough boy dons the papal mitre, it's no culinary endorsement of sainthood. It's the satirical nod of the election of a new pope from Chicago. A city where deep dish is a sacrament.

Намедне изучал такое явление как шитпостинг, так как никогда с ним не сталкивался. Можно конечно аргументированно сказать, что свинья везде грязь найдет или поэзия в ушах слушающего.

Только это все лирика и навело на множество философских вопросов, думаю лет через 15 перечитаю и буду смеяться над собой, но накидал уже 11 тем в контент-план, пожалуй начну писать в бложик, так как сюда не получится тексты длинные выкладывать.

I wrote an art review, available to Machete tiers.

"In my experience with shitposting on the Fedi—a space that mirrored early 4chan in some ways—it was often used at the expense of visibly Black people and other people of color...There are ways for marginalized folks to use subversive humor as a tool against oppression..."

@HumboldtUni Ich halte das für fundamental falsch, weil #Schulen heutzutage nichtmals fundamentale #MediaLiteracy geschweige denn #TechLiteracy hinbekommen.

Wir brauchen mit solchem Bullshit nicht anfangen bevor niht jede #Schule #Glasfaser und mindestens nen kompletten Klassensatz an #Pi500 am Start hat damit #Schüler*innen auch #Informatik lernen und nicht zu #Microsoft-#Kunden verblödet werden!!!

Ernsthaft, da hätte die #EU das in andere #Forschung und #Entwicklung oder #Infrastruktur investieren können, statt irgendwelche #Buzzwords wie #AI nachzurennen die eh nur dazu da sind #Geldverbrennung zu betreiben!

Ok, so no one cared when they started reading chats, or when they started selling the metadata from them, or when they stated they were going to proactively comply with law enforcement, or when they started charging, or when they started using crypto, or when they started engaging in reckless and wanton use of AI as an ecologically destructive engine, but does anyone care that they're going public with an IPO?
