Guys, lots of people on other communities are unsubscribing from here because of all the inane, boring "jeans" karma-whoring. Its "shitpost", not "shit post"

This is just the latest trend of shitpost, I mean we had beans, we had Beef Stroganoff, and now people are posting Jemes, each time people say they are fed up with it after a couple days. This too shall pass.

Because new people are hopping on the bandwagon late so instead of the shit lasting a couple of days it becomes over a week of shit
- Yep it's the low-effort AI generated stuff that's the problem. Some people just... aren't funny, sorry 😅
Did you say piss is the next meme? Alright, well, I'll do what I can
- I mean I'm pretty sure he agrees "this too shall piss" cause we all know it always comes down to piss.
Also, most new Reddit refugees at this point (and I feel like there’s been a minor surge lately because of all the IPO crap) probably haven’t internalized that there’s no system-wide karma here, and karma-whoring is entirely pointless in the context of the fediverse.
I'm sure some people left reddit when Javert memes were the hot item. This is good for Lemmy.
- Ah yes, and at some point we will look back fondly at the Jemes, and say "those were the days..."
The lifecycle continues.

you have to set it to the base setting

so that it's based

People join a shitpost group and are mad all the posts are shitposts

I'm mad it's all ai shitposts. Shits unsettling.
- Would you describe the shit as liquid and runny then?

Gotta say, jeansposting is my least favorite lemmy trend so far

Bean posting was just a decades old rehash of a trend. It's really not much better.

At least with Stroganoff, it had a funny origin(Google Opinion Survey asking if you want "important updates about Beef Stroganoff").

Most of these are just "hrrr drrr this is dumb so let's trend it".
It's very Reddit feeling that's for sure
- Lemmy is basically reddit. It's not any better than reddit was, it doesn't have some enlightened users etc. It's par for the course.
- This is the Reddit replacement website. Everyone here probably came from Reddit. What do you expect?
It was funny about 3 times.
- A decade ago

The ai-generated images are too low effort and too easy to produce.

I mean that was definitely my complaint. Dude. You want a denim keyboard make it happen, this weird low effort crap mangled generated image crap ain't it.

Keep image generation for porn. Leave my shitposts real.
- Stop shitting on my shitposts!

I was going to write this in one of the many many boring posts, but didn't want to make it more popular. I understand trend and too much time on their hands but deploying AI to spam same thing like this just gets boring after a few examples. Move on

I enjoyed the first few but yeah once the AI - generated stuff came along it lost its charm for me.

You just have to let these things burn themselves out like an oil fire.

like an oil fire

I mean, there are options for oil fires...
- That thing's not coming to help us. It's just us, the jeans, and god as our witness.
- Wtf, your link has a section titled "scroll down to see the crazy monster in action" or something and when you scroll down there's no video anywhere. Is it because I'm on mobile, or is it just some bullshit?
Class B fires can be handled by either AFFF or Potassium Bicarbonate.
- Have you or a loved one been exposed to AFFF? You may be entitled to money damages!

What is this karma of which you speak?

It's on 8chan
- Pff I’m on 9chan

Thank you.

Too bad the lemmy upvote is jeans colored

Not sure if lecture about quality on shitpost is itself shitpost...

I… don’t care…?

Such is the nature of the internet. It’ll run itself out soon and become established lore. Beans and beef stroganoff went through that progression too.

No no, they're awesome. Every one a masterpiece of modern comedic ingenuity. I mean, picking a random noun, then typing "randomnoun but it's jeans" into a shitty AI image generator, then doing it again a dozen times? Fucking genius.

Maybe I'm just old and grumpy, but this reminds me of Reddit's obsession with rage comics - except those were higher effort, incredibly. Maybe we can go back to the stroganoff? How about something with dead babies next? Bring the terrible Gërman Fïsh Mëmë back? Knock-knock jokes? Maybe people literally stepping on rakes over and over, as seeing the 700th jouch meme only feels like it?

Dead Germán baby fish knock knock jokes? Sounds fun and annoying. Let's do it!
- Zwei dead Babys vere valking down ze Straße...

Don't know whether to upvote for the comic being funny or downvote for the "you're not having fun the right way!" lecture..

Ah fuck it, I'll do the former.

When half your feed becomes nothing but trousers and beans and planes, it gets really fatiguing after the umpteenth day of it in a row. It was amusing for a bit, but people have taken that ball too far for my own personal enjoyment.
- I'll take jeanposting over political memes 9/10 times.
- Ehh, smaller community, so a little bit slower for trends to fade. I'm ok with it though; I don't expect nonstop-fresh content here and I like that. People are able to post without bot-mods rejecting every submission... makes people feel included. So you kinda get a slower trend-fade, as people come-up with ideas. I get your point, but no reason to be crass about it. Try and lift each other up and what-not
- And that's absolutely fine. You're allowed to not enjoy stuff. Lecturing others for enjoying stuff together without hurting anyone, on the other hand, is just petty and authoritarian fun policing in my opinion, though 🤷
- I agree that it can get fatiguing after umpteen days, but it's only been like a day or two.
- If half your feed is taken up by a single community something other than the content is seriously wrong.

And your reaction is to post something that belong in the Comics community?

It was a reference to shit. Apologies if, like the sheet, it was over your head
- not saying kecessa is wrong but that comeback was fire
- Oh snap
- Oh I got that, not as if it was really subtle, but if you're going to complain about the content posted by others and that people are leaving, you should post content that doesn't belong in another community because people might as well subscribe to c/comics if that's what you want to share here.

RemindMe! 8h - make Jemmy

It's actually pronounced "Gemmy"
That sounds truly outrageous.

looks like you're asking not to farm a non-existent metric in order to keep up with another useless metric. I'd prefer ppl who participate than those who part

We’re so desperate to show we have OC that we beat every dead horse we see.

Being someone that actually tries to make the best Lemmy specific OC that I can, it genuinely pisses me off.
Especially if the horse is made from jeans.

But in French, "shit" would be pronounced essentially the same as it is in English.
