JSYK putting the words “THIS IS A PARODY AND A JOKE” in every post would defeat the purpose of parody and joke

Also, do these Mastocels forget the litany of parody accts that have always existed on Facebook, Twitter, etc?

It’s honestly absurdly tiring to have to break character constantly to educate people who can’t seem to understand

@yassie_j Mastodon users would still complain that it’s not clear enough, it’s not worth it

@yassie_j i think mastodon hiding the second part of usernames is part of the problem here

@yassie_j if you can see that they’re on an instance called fuckgov.org that’s a pretty big sign that they, y’know, aren’t a us government official.

@yassie_j@labyrinth.zone Shoutouts to all the people who took @mastotips@brands.town seriously (there was always someone, no matter how ludicrous the post)

@yassie_j you have to content warn parody to prevent people getting confused, but it's extremely important that nobody put cws on loads of uspol posting

If you cannot understand that the instance is called fuckgov.org, then I am confused as to why you went into student debt for your education

@username @yassie_j extremely tempted to go into politics just so i can be an unironic politician on that server

@yassie_j everything in this world has to cater to me and my own capabilities and if they dont then it is a moral failing on everyone else

@username @yassie_j the thing is that mastodon does display the second part, people just don’t read
