Just saw one of my comments as a tagline

"Could be the ratchet effect. Lemmygrad and Hexbear are both explicitly Marxist-Leninist, but .ml is explicitly FOSS and Privacy based, just with Marxist-Leninist admins."

This was back when I tried to get PugJesus to try to understand how deeply unserious they were, and generally tried to appear less threatening to liberals to hopefully lead some to question liberalism or even read theory

(Spoiler: it didn't work)

Specifically, it was in reference to Lemmy.world becoming more and more right-wing as the target boogeyman shifts from more overt to less overt leftism, especially since ml removed leftist from its description.

Kinda funny seeing it up there now that I've made a Hexbear account

Getting a tagline is Hexbear poster Valhalla
I have a few from the original tagline thread right after the site opened and another one from just posting good
- Nice! Love the taglines, a lot are really funny
  
  ^ Lol make this a tagline
- i have a couple, one that i remember most is referring to hexbear as pink news but pinkoer after we had a time period where we posted like... only lgbt news/stuff for a couple of days

I shudder at the idea of seeing one of mine taglined. All the comments I've made that people reply "tagline" to are the most intensely autistic things I post.
- Yea, I personally think I've written far better lines than this one, haha, but it is what it is.

How does someone spend so much time just making or finding such shit memes.
Or just not understand anything
- Basically the Jeff Tiedrich of Lemmy. Insufferable liberalism.
  Fun fact: dig through the linked thread if you can, and PugJesus even claims to have read Lenin, yet in other threads can't help themselves from denouncing even the Black Panthers for being ML.
  
  At least Jeff has rare funny moments
  
  Pug Jesus fuckin bit me

One of my gags is on one of the sidebar for a board
I'm very proud of anti-nautilism
- lol I just noticed that the other day, congrats

I've written so many bangers, so much unhinged shit, yet none of it has been made a tagline. I can only assume this is because hexbear is a psyop specifically made to make me a little bit frustrated
- I think it's precisely because I often say less than entirely based shit on my .ml account to soften my anti-liberalism for liberals, in the hopes that they may actually read theory, that this one got the tagline. Like, of course lemmy.ml is going to have MLs, lol
  It's like in Dune, trying to go slower so the defenses don't pick it up and I can land a strike
- Same, comrade
  same.

- I hope I don't. That'd be so terrible, I'd just be so mad

there's a few of mine that always give me a good laugh

I was really hoping my "having your comment become a tagline is bourgeois decadence" would surely have made it. I was even prepare for a "Witness me!" bit with silver spray paint and everything.
- That one's good! I have some I think are zingers, like "Communism is when everyone passes around a single copy of Capital and gets temporarily posessed by the Spectre of Communism, and gets to say "it's me, the Communist"
  
  I am going to use "It's me, the Communist" now lol.
- Just saw "having your comment become a tagline is bourgeois decadence" in the taglines, bring out the silver spray paint!
  Also saw I have a second tagline, time to line me up against the wall
  
  Holy shit lol gonna refresh the page religiously now. I actually just bought a deck of Mad Max inspired playing cards this morning. I would say what are the odds but I'm sort of balls deep in Mad Max lore and such since the Autism Gods decided that would be my next current obsession.
  Since I "own my own business" I think I'm allowed a little bourgeois treat here and there.

I have one I think.. it's the rude little dog turd one

It’d be nice if one of mine were a tagline, but also, i like the obscurity
