Hi - I've been posting in the Trump thread more and move over the last couple months, and they've been rather welcoming! It moves very fast, which is one reason why some people (nosy-neighbor types, mostly?) might dislike it.

The posters there are largely an amusing and irreverent lot with similar senses of humor and leftish politics. There are personalities that grate against each other and complain like a pair of roommate cats might, but the mood is generally one of levity intended to shitpost away the existential blues of modern life while also posting recent news stories and funny twitter posts and so on. "Main Character Syndrome" is something that doesn't last long within that group, as there have been historically many bans and burnouts from the self-aggrandizing-posting crowd that hung out in the trump threads in the past.

Dunno what the problem some have with it or its posters nowadays, other than it's insular enough with its poster-lore that I agree it's like a different sub-channel of CSPAM, like the channel with the cartoons under the newscorp's larger media umbrella.

for a few years after i moved to this house, we would get visits from the seventh day adventists up the street, and although they finally flagged this address in their database as nonproductive, the last time they came they were like "well do you know anybody else in the neighborhood who might need help, like they're going through a crisis or something" and, nonconfrontational as i am, simply told them no and low key smdh

i dont want to break up the community thats grown there, it seems very important to several, potentially many posters, but as someone who posted there in the early days of 2015-16 id just like a place to see wacky trump updates that isnt D&D or GBS. the dude is hilarious and i want to know everything he does. i dont really want to know that problematic poster Borvis T.

i had some kind of people like that asking if they could help me with anything even if it wasn't spiritual. I said "well I have so dishes I need to wash" and they perked up and said "OK!" I felt bad and my house was too messy so I said "jk good luck" and shut door. interesting people.

whenever there's a really annoying guy in the c-spam thread, it seems like they're usually trump posters. But it's not like I know how many trump posters there are who AREN'T really annoying because I only look at post histories when I'm like "what's this guy's deal, why's he like this"

You are a cspam dipshit. You literally have a thread over there about for shitposting about the Holodomor, it’s not exactly shocking that you let the usual gaggle of idiots whip themselves up to go try and own their posting enemies in what used to be a decent enough thread. It should have been stepped on before it got to the point of thread closure.

yeah there's like a whole science of "why is this idiot posting in this thread making me angry when they usually post in this other thread making them angry" i think it's called intersectionality or something, from like venn diagrams

yeah, entirely

the problem is the president's death; this stuff was always there but while he lived, the president was making content so prodigiously that all this nonsense was lost in the noise

he's making signs of recovery lately though, there have been some good days in the trump thread even in this year
