I really thought this was going to be a satire post about the Yemen bombing Signal chat group leak based off the reddit title.

[-] TheImpressiveX@lemm.ee 119 points 1 week ago

I was inspired to post this story in light of recent events.

I don't blame you, thought the same and already seen a few today.

If the contents of my friends' group chat got leaked... people would just think we're fucking idiots, not terrible people.

Good work, Derek. Be better, losers in that chat.

[-] amanneedsamaid@sopuli.xyz 52 points 1 week ago

I think that's obtuse, comedy has no limits: As long as you don't act upon uncomfortable / morally reprehensible ideas you joke about, you aren't any worse or better than if you had never joked about it. I would argue that exposing a bunch of people for what they joke about with no evidence that they've actually done something wrong is far worse than joking about offensive subjects. (one has zero negative affects, the other has many)

(I must say I disagree completely with that guy sharing messages from his girlfriend- that piece is very weird and a total breach of trust)

[-] blady_blah@lemmy.world 48 points 1 week ago

Keep in mind the source of this story. The author has every reason to describe the stuff on their group chat sound tame, so if it sounds bad, it's probably 3 times worse than that.

[-] exasperation@lemm.ee 24 points 1 week ago

(I must say I disagree completely with that guy sharing messages from his girlfriend- that piece is very weird and a total breach of trust)

My impression from the original post was that kind of stuff was what drove most of the fallout. Leaked off color memes aren't going to ruin people's relationships, but leaked shit talk or breaches of someone else's privacy will.

If I had to explain some of my in-group chats, it would be complicated and awkward, but not life-destroying.

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 87 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I think my saved memes are 50/50 funny and concerning

The thing is, on Lemmy these are pretty normal... but for my very conservative grandma who hardly understands what a lesbian is...

[-] SeekPie@lemm.ee 23 points 1 week ago

You just concentrated 4 top tier shitposts into a single comment.

Oh no. The consequences of my own actions have come back to haunt me

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 66 points 1 week ago

I once had a group chat that got leaked. There's a possibility that it may have involved some light treason.

[-] higgsboson@dubvee.org 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Well there's always money in the banana stand.

I thought this was going to be satire about the Atlantic editor being accidentally included in war room group chats. Lol.

[-] Mustakrakish@lemmy.world 53 points 1 week ago

Derek sounds like a real one. That poster lacks so much situational awareness they'd fall into an open manhole like in a cartoon.

Shitposting is just pretending to be stupid/racist/shitty for laughs/attention, right? Pretty low form of humor, if you ask me (no one did), but I'm also guessing a lot of shitposters aren't just pretending.

I like a laugh as much as the next person, but we can't sit around going "Why are people in this country so fucking stupid/racist/shitty?" while simultaneously elevating "acting" stupid to some high form of humor. You see how that's counterproductive, right?

“Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe. It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind, as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe, he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime.” - Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason


*“Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company.” - Jason Garrett-Glaser*

[-] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

I don't think it is that people are saying shitposting is a higher form of humor, but that it requires a level of trust that you know the people you're shitposting with know you and know you're joking. Lack of that leads to your second quote.

Still not sure whether OP is Pete Hegseth.

[-] tyrefyre@sh.itjust.works 50 points 1 week ago

Wow this must be the biggest group text leak ever.

[-] Mikrochip@feddit.org 30 points 1 week ago

I can hardly even imagine one that's worse

Thought at first that its a meme about the signal groupchat that was leaked currently and then read its discord and its 1 year old.

[-] hperrin@lemmy.ca 43 points 1 week ago

Derek sounds like a cool guy.

derek sounds like a dick.

What you do in private does not necessarily reflect who you are in public. And who you are in public, does not necessarily reflect who you are in private either.

Don’t talk shit about people behind their back. It always has a way of getting out because it’s clearly how you feel when their is no filter in place.

I suddenly feel better about my group chats, it's all gay memes, positivity and anti-capitalist revolution.

Can't have my group chats leaked if I don't have any!

[-] azalty@jlai.lu 35 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Leaking PMs between you and an ex is a dick move 😵

[-] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I would love for my 40k groups five year group chat to be leaked. My theories about Alpharius is valid I tell you.

Nononono, dont go! We haven't even gotten to the part with Valdor, and the Emperor yet.

never admit to the group chat leaks.

Always be shitposting. They can never catch you offguard if you don't stop.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Shitposting is one thing. Without knowing what the war memes were, I can't say one way or another.

Sharing private chats from your girlfriend? Yeah, that's too far.
