Humor is not allowed here.
- skeptical1 5y agoI read your comment profile, and know exactly what you mean about the "cancel culture." This is the first profile I've had here where I've actually managed to get a little positive 'karma' built up and avoid immediately getting downmodded into oblivion and run out on a rail. My very first account here a couple years ago, as a bright eyed noob, was literally shadowbanned within 15 minutes, which absolutely blew my mind. The moderation system here is seriously broken, and has the effect of creating a toxic echo chamber of humorless trigger-happy goons. I've read a lot of complaints about it in various articles over the years, by names who no longer seem to be around. The response always seems to be EWONTFIX.
- macintux 5y agoEvery now and then a truly creative, funny joke is upvoted heavily. The rest of the time, if I want shallow snark I’ll visit Reddit.
- JadeNB 5y agoIndeed. The issue I had here was not that there was a joke in a place of solemnity, but that it was an old and low-effort joke that also didn't add to the discussion.
- smackeyacky 5y agoSo you decided to go out of your way to point that out? Where's your erudite contribution to the discussion then?

- bigbillheck 5y ago> shadowbanned within 15 minutes I'm not about to defend any commentariat anywhere, but you really have to make a stinker of a post to get that kind of thing here.
- xwdv 5y agoNo you don’t, simply having the wrong opinion at the wrong time is enough to seal your fate.
