        It’s basically just chess themed memes and shitposts, heavy on the latter.

      I tried the first one, and…I don’t get it. A lot of times I GET the joke. I might not think the joke is funny, but I GET it. With the first community you posted, I don’t get it. I don’t get it at all. I’m very confused about the content I consumed, and I’m unclear what the humor is.

      …wait, does this make me a boomer now?

            The idea is someone may have had an aneurysm while posting and it makes utterly worthless sentences like the one you replied to.

        Oh yeah I probably should. I kind of just post when I find smth I like. I did have a backlog but fried my computer so thats gone.

        Also I read the new Yorker a lot and don’t want to just spam that, especially since a lot of people don’t bypass paywalls.

      Back when I was hyper invested in Lemmy I decided I’ll post on there as well for the original content. I only mildly regret it now. Thank God I used an alt atleast.

        I think it was a combo of not having found its audience by season 2, Syfy deciding that wrestling is more their brand than scifi, and MGM having its head all the way up its ass (especially when it comes to their most profitable franchise).
