Don’t get me wrong it’s very funny when used in the right way, but there’s so many ways to dunk challenge yourselves to get creative.
Right now it just feels a bit cliché, a bit like low-effort spam. We should be low-effort, but if we’re all just posting ppb all the time it seems like we simply don’t have any original ideas.
PPB is most powerful when it’s occasional. Only post if nobody’s posted it yet, and if the thread doesn’t even dignify a response.
Ppb is always the last resort
Never a “pre-emptive” last resort.
killed PPB-ing. It’s only actually funny when you get someone with a trick link. Spamming emotes does nothing.
The link is best, a countdown is second best, and third best is because it’s fucking massive to anyone not on hexbear
Who the fuck is scraeming “Cool it with the ppb!” at my house. Show yourself, coward. I will never cool it with the ppb.
The AccountVerificationBot (maybe not exactly right?) referencing the “Policy Posting Bulletin” is hilarious
:che-smile:
Every dipshit liberal that comes here to brigade will be met with PPB this is not negotiable.
Sure, but I think we’re mostly focused on its usage on other instances.
Once they’re on our territory, pretty much anything goes
It’s when they encounter it. It should be when they reach peak frustration from not reading our posts and we determined they are no longer to be engaged seriously
Low effort wreckers deserve low effort responses, but I still agree that mixing up the low effort responses is a good idea.
https://hexbear.net/post/316342 this has been a decent example of non-ppb posting. These are just growing pains
what a mess
Just change the macro and most of us will never find it again
Absolutely right, not worth getting defederated over
I actually don’t give a shit what anyone thinks of my originality because I didn’t want them here to begin with
I find the original trollface works well. Just the right level of rage-inducing “tee-hee” ironic detatchment that makes a poster a poster.
PPB IS OUR HERITAGE AND WILL NOT BE DISRESPECTED.
Anything goes at home, hyperlink/not at all/under a spoiler for away posting seems a better guideline to avoid bystanders catching strays.
Unlimited PPB on the lemmy federation.
