I feel like the term subpost kinda sucks ass. It’s ambiguous, sometimes I use the word to refer to when I see a post in my timeline and I want to talk about that topic without necessarily hijacking op’s thread. Other times, I am just making a light hearted remark as a tease. It has such a negative connotation because most time you see it is when it starts drama

like how can i differentiate between "I saw this in passing on my timeline, wanted to talk about it without bothering the original poster", "I am making a lighthearted tease for a mutual to see" and "I am clearing something up, but not responding to op directly because i don't want to get into an argument"

there was one time one of my mutuals posted about GCC and had a wild misinterpretation of what GPL does in the case of GCC assuming all binaries that were made by GCC fall under GPL... and I subposted them about it to clarify but I didn't respond directly because I didn't want to start a fight.

@puppygirlhornypost2 i super dislike subposts personally because i feel like they can be used to say horrible things about other human beings without them noticing, but i guess that can happen anyways

@nelson@wetdry.world yeah, they're a double edged sword. i try to avoid writing negative subposts as much as possible because i'm not really here to shit talk my friends yk

Public

@puppygirlhornypost2 i mean same but i am not here to shittalk my enemies either unless someone says something truly disgusting

to be fair, after I did the post about my feelings in this community, someone went like “lmao fuzzies.wtf user, opinion rejected”, to which i did reply with a subpost using the same format to make fun of THEIR instance lol

(this was before i became a mod)
