    Hm. Drag thought the thesis was presented clearly in the last line. “Lemmy users are upset because they hate trans people”. Cunk starts off by agreeing with the dominant Lemmy view that the site is full of trolls, and then flips the script by telling the truth. Cunk starts off on the reader’s level, sharing their false assumptions, and then unexpectedly tells a truth the reader doesn’t know. That’s how drag understands effective communication to work, start from the reader’s knowledge and then tell them something they don’t know. Perhaps there are nuances to the format of communication that drag doesn’t understand.

      yeah oof i think the problem is too many layers. try starting with a meme format that just says directly what you mean to say (dont make tme tap the sign comes to mind), and adding irony and layers of humor should really only come when the audience is familiar with all sides of the material more

        So you’re saying drag should make dozens of repetitive shitposts reiterating the same point until the 196 audience is familiar enough with the issue to understand more complex humour on the topic. Okey dokey, sounds like fun!
