Welcome to The Shitpost Office
Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Sinister
Treat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe
Rule 2: No Prohibited Postage
Some packages are simply undeliverable. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW content must be properly tagged
If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

Everyone should have adblocker. It is the moral thing to do. Ads are badly supporting creators as it promotes a race to the clickbaitiest, and centralisation around plateforms that can do arbitrary censorship. Just let the add business-model crumble and what will remain will be qualitatively better.
Just a guess about what a world withour ad-supported platforms could look like:
There will be fewer 4k videos of everything. But there will be options to pay for great content that is not made to boost your dopamine and is better for creators. Collaborative tools like wikipedia will strive, and we will see a return to blogs as a way to share knowledge freely as it requires little ressources to host. LLM generated blogs will disappear as there will be little incentive for the publisher. The cost of hosting and computer hardware will drop as we'll use way less ressources with low quality addictive content (that are used as a vehicle for ads)
