Slop is for gossip, the only rule for fake news is that it’s OC only. I didn’t think “Mark Wahlberg Claims Elon Musk’s Botched Penis Implant Wouldn’t Have Gone Down Like That If He Was Attending Surgeon” was going to set off the “I can’t actually tell if this is real and that makes me upset” brigade.
I usually see people post satire in the chapotraphouse comm.
My gripe with the slop comm is that people sometimes post real news stories there. The slop comm says in the sidebar and in the launch announcement that the purpose of the slop comm is discussing “anonymous reactionary bullshit”. By that definition, the White House, Trump, Democratic Party, Republican Party should not be posted in the slop comm. If Trump says something stupid, it could be news or politics. If Trump enacts new tariffs, that is a news story, not slop. If the Republican Party or Democrat party says that they are going to do something stupid, that is politics. When the White House, says something bad that is politics. Slop is when a random citizen, voter, redditor, etc says something reactionary.
That’s where I’ve always posted them but I’m getting mod removals now.
