    I’m going in and out of cell service right now, so it took me a while to search, but I assume this is the shitpost that is causing arguments in the other threads.

    1st off: Grumpus, I could be wrong, but I really doubt these people upset with you are reddit shills. I think a lot of the Lemmy userbase simply doesn’t like this type of humor.

    2nd: Shitposts, by definition, are usually intended to be stupid and provocative, which this one clearly is. The reddit link is a good example of people taking it as shock humor rather than seriously, and that’s usually how a shitposting community operates. If there were a pattern of this user or other users clearly trying to stir up some racist agenda, that would be different, but for now, my inclination is to keep it up and let people upvote/downvote however they think is best.

    (My cells service isn’t strong enough to upload a screenshot atm, but here’s a link to the Merriam-Webster definition of a shitpost that I’m referencing: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/shitpost)

    punctuation, do they speak it?

    Without context this really does cross the line for it stands in a sea of regular memes, not deliberately offensive ones.

      Mod in lemmy world shitposting community is a lier.
      Likely reddit agent.

      There is no way to dispute mod labels on lemmy nor do I care as much.

      FYI all these memes are reposted from Reddit and I’m not the original creator. None of the mems I posted were banned from reddit. Yet this guy labeled me a full blown racist no less and banned after 1 reposted non original meme instead of just removing a post, un fucking believable.

      I just don’t post in that community anymore, they can go screw themselves.
      Lemmy mod

      beware of reddit agents that want to reduce content on lemmy and !breadsmasher@lemmy.world I strongly suspect is one of them. They don’t contribute themselves,n just trying to reduce contributions from others

      my fellow shitposters -this is reposted from reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/shitposting/comments/1vllzr8/_/

      nobody is trying to be racist here.

      if mods want to remove this post - be my guest, but this was not posted with any racism in mind. this is reposted from reddit ffs.

    Not even a shitpost. Just shitty repost from some other site, as one does? Grumpus is just prolific and annoying. I don’t want to defend this drivel, but the OP is so stupid or can be interpreted a couple of ways.
