Buenos dias, you beautiful buzzing bees!
Has anyone else ever wondered why they called this place Hive, but use aquatic descriptors for account growth? You would expect in a Hive that new accounts might be eggs, or pupae, then can then develop into workers, drones, or queens. Instead we have minnows, dolphins, and whales.
I'm not saying that those are bad choices, just incongruous. They would work better in a place called Pod, School, or even Sea.
Just a little more friendly advice nobody will see from your friendly neighborhood know-it-all.
Now that I have that non-sequitur out of the way, let's get to the meat and potatoes of this post:
What can you do to help the war effort?
As enlistees in the Civil Action Comedy Army, or CACA, I know that you all have a willingness to fight for our beloved COMmunity. But how do we fight without physicality?
We fight with words. Are them's fightin' words? I sure hope so.
Let's face it, this place isn't Twitter, or X, or Facebook, or any other place with a large mob of idiots who will gather to watch and cheer if we just fire off a few shots in the air and pose patriotically with our rifles. People here, for better or worse, are too smart for that. Or, maybe they aren't that smart, but they're too focused on #crypto (or downvotes) to pay attention to anything else.
How do you grab eyeballs, and laughs, in such a serious environment?
That's where things are going to get tough.
Hey, hey, wait, where are you going? Come on back, you must have misheard me... I didn't say tough, I said, uhhh.... rewarding.
That's where things are going to get rewarding.
Meet the enemy on their own ground.
If we want to defeat banality, we will have to find it where it lives. That means reading some boring posts. I know, I know, it's boring, but that's where being a soldier in this army develops meaning. I want you to read those boring posts, then hop in the comments and say something funny about it. Raise them if you can, roast them if you must, but there is a joke everywhere, if you look hard enough. Leave a funny comment with the #comedyopenmic tag, and I will find it and upvote it. That's where the rewards come in.
Of course, it won't be much of a reward, with my meager HP, but it will be more than nothing.
Which brings us to part two of how YOU can help...
Beat them at the ballot box.
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
It means VOTE, soldier! @mitch18, @diikaan, and @paulfromkigali have all dropped posts in the COMmunity recently, so drop by and drop them a little vote of encouragement!
Click on this #comedyopenmic tag right now, and vote whatever pops up in the results.
Remember, a vote for good content on Hive is worth 3 votes for your favorite candidate in your elections.
Voting for your favorite funny folks on Hive will make you stronger, smarter, more attractive, and irresistible to the opposite sex.
Post, people! Engage! Stop by the COMmunity and say "HI!", or at least drop an insult to our TDVTV spammer. That guy(?) really gets under my skin. He obviously has a sense of humor, somewhere, he just chooses not to use it here.
Get out there and be funny, soldiers! Let's punish these unfunny jerks until they wet themselves with laughter!
This bullfrog photo always grabs some attention. We need to cling to and support each other more, like these frogs here. Not in a gay way, of course, @diikaan.
Now, let's go out there and get 'em, soldiers! Vote this post then go frog some shit up!
I really hope the warriors will heed this call and pick up their sword or pens.. After all they say the pen is mightier than the sword. What better place to prove the ancients right by killing people with laughter.
You mean not in a happy way? Well, that's going to be hard. I dunno how to cling to anything bally and soft without being happy..
😂
Sending Love and Ecency Vote!
Putting the hashtag in comments doesn't really do any good as the comments won't show up on the results.
I've found that the posts I comment on with that hashtag do show up in results. I then have to search through the comments, but I work with the tools I have.
I am definitely open to better suggestions.
Hmmm, what front end are you using?
Well, I thought it was working in Ecency, but I just hopped over there so I could show you a screen shot, and it's definitely not working.
Guess I'll have to tell people to tag me instead.
Maybe having them amend their post to add the hashtag would be the better thing. Promise more upvotes 😆.
Most folks posting in the COMmunity already add the tag... I need a way to be able to see funny comments. Trying to take this war from the Feeds the the Engagement.
Yeah I think it's a good idea. It would be nice if folks could click on the hashtag and see the comments as well.
Special greetings to you my dear friend @oldsoulnewb, with no sympathy 😂😂. Its a pleasure to read through all you wrote. In support to the motion, I will be coming around to give curation some boring comedy 🤣🤣🤣 with the party time account. I will also try to be dropping some of their link on the party time threadcast inleothreads.
Much love and respect to you all..... Am M.C Black, your grandmother's favorite comedian.. lol
Hey there, and well met!
I'm glad you like my style, I plan on slinging quite a bit more of it! I'm just finding some of the comedy on LeoThreads/inLeo/inLeoThreads... er... whatever. My curation isn't worth much, but people seem to like the attention, so I'm going to try spreading a bit more of that around in the Leo space.
Much love and respect back to you... I am nobody's favorite anything, but I'm still kinda unforgettable.
Don't be surprised that you are now my favorite comedian 😂😂😂😂, let's rock and roll...
I will be glad to message you on discord for more conversations on how to meet up with our features goal for the comedians. If it's worth it, you can message me. 🥂 Table for two 😂😂.
I thought I replied to this one already! So anyway...
I use my other account name, @paradoxtma, on Discord. I'm on the Leo server already, if you guys have a room in there.
If you don't find me there first, I'll try to find you tomorrow morning when I do my Homesteading submissions for OCD.
Alright to the left 🥂🥂🥂, please forgive my comedy life style 😭😭😭
Lol
😂
Hehehe, if you need my forgiveness, you may need a different lifestyle!! 🤣🤣🤣
You can find me there 😜😜, it a room without roof 😜
