“I’d like to introduce my first wife, Rachel”
Breakup version:
Rachel and I are dating again.
Well, not each other, but still…
you are perpetually dating, that little ceremony yall played atcould be just so much lip service after all
So we are just Facebook now?
If Facebook posts make people laugh, and this one did, what’s the problem?
Also, this is clearly not a real Facebook post, it’s an obvious joke.
Because it didn’t make people laugh. It’s cringe. In humor and presentation. It’s like six attempts in crappy cropping and a reach at that from a dead horse that was old even on Reddit.
But yea. Nothing is wrong with it.
It clearly does make people laugh. Lots of people, including me. Hence all the over 700 upvotes when I am posting this response.
It’s a bit silly to think your sense of humor matches everyone else’s in a post that is clearly one lots of people enjoyed.
I dont really care what people post, as long as its on a free and decentralized network. And as long as bad posts are in their respective community (as is the case here) its fine with me.
Lemmy is not about “good posts” its about removing central authority.
I’ve been thinking about this lately.
You’re right in that there’s no central “authority”, but lemmy has become very centralised with all the content on a few big instances in fiefdoms controlled by a few mods who seem to be weirdos with too much time on their hands.
I guess the benefit is, if an instance or a mod does something really egregious there’s the potential to just move to another instance.
I think we need another few iterations of exodus from other platforms because of whatever shitstorm for lemmy to develop its own vibrance.
Well, then create new communities if that’s what you want to see here. What’s stopping you?
My wife doesn’t like it when I introduce her as my ex-girlfriend.
