   I saw someone argue that shitposters can't succeed on Mastodon because their posts won't go viral due to the lack of an algorithm.

   As a counterpoint to their belief I would like to introduce exhibit A, whatever the hell this account is.

     I mean, counterpoint to your counterpoint: I follow you because you post stuff that is often legitimately funny and irreverent.

     When I think of "shitposting," I think of the assholes who jump in and "pretend" (or claim to be pretending) to be racists, misogynists or homophobes because they think it's funny making other folks upset. Likewise, the folks ostensibly on the left who bait right-wingers just to make them angry rather than to actually change things.

     Fun ain't shit.
