You’re the post MVP, imo. I don’t get why this post is upvoted so much. It isn’t a real AMA, and it feels like disaster porn or something
[Edit: I also feel like there’s enough misinformation on the internet already. Those who want to have fun/pretend with something like this, please put a ‘not serious’, ‘made up’ ‘fictional’ or ‘pretend’ flag on it]
Since you asked so nicely, I’ll offer a definition by modifying the Oxford English Dictionary’s definition of pornography. (Square brackets and strikeout are my own)
[Disaster] por·nog·ra·phy | pôrˈnäɡrəfē |
noun
printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of [human suffering] sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate [entertainment] erotic rather than [concern, compassion, or humanitarian assistance] aesthetic or emotional feelings.
You have some valid points, a note about it being humor would be great for those who couldn’t figure it out.
But also, many users here are looking for more engagement. This is pretty harmless, and got folks engaged and talking about how we can improve. Net positive imo.
It sounds like we partially overlap in opinion. I think it’s worth noting a bias of mine, that for me Lemmy is an opportunity to make the Web a more person-friendly place again. I don’t think the responsibility should fall to readers to figure things out that aren’t obvious. I think posters should provide useful (non click-baity) titles and outside of just for fun and circlejerk type communities, I think they should flag when they’re being un-serious. AMA is a serious community (as far as I’m aware). The post’s title is a complete falsehood.
I don’t mean to come across as a buzzkill, and I’m sorry if I killed anyone’s buzz.
No buzz was killed 🙂 I certainly agree on the friendliness. I was never a reddit member and so probably don’t get the seriousness or levity that may be the accepted norms of communities that came from there. I may well have contributed to some of these challenges that you face (sorry!).
I see folks asking about flares, which I understand to be things like a way to mark a post as humor. For me, that seems like a good step to take with the current posting levels but what do I know haha, I am mostly a forum poster.
