Dear fellow indie creators,
I& #39;m gonna come off as an asshole here but this is really been held in for a hot minute.
One of the most disrespectful things you can do, to another creator is thread jack.
And seriously, I& #39;m drunk and fucking annoyed and this so here we go

Q: What is Thread Jacking?
A: Thats when you take a thread, that has very little to do with you, and use it to self-promote.

Q: Well, I& #39;m looking to boost my project (IGG; KS; GFM etc...) so how am I supposed to get views?
A: look for signal boosting threads or if you& #39;re going to thread jack for promotion (you or someone else.) At least contribute something to the thread until someone asks for a link

Q: Okay but what if I want to help my friend-
A: Still disrespectful as fuck. Thats basically the same thing as walking into a random building, dropping off a pile of buisiness cards and walking away.

Q: is there an appropriate way to drop links in a thread without it being thread jacking?
A: Yes. But it requires a bit of finesse. & #39;Read the room& #39; if a creator is showing off their work or promoting their own project thats not the time for you to do so.

Q: Okay so basically thread-jacking is about promoting yourself unsolicited.
A: Yes and no. This also applies to folks YOU have beef with. Makes you no better than the people with TDS.

Q:Well that thing you posted was very similar to-
A: Dont give a shit. I& #39;m here to post memes, promote my work and help others who need it. I& #39;m not here to fight with, or dunk on, internet hashtags or others. (Will mock a silly statement and move on though).

Q: Okay fine but last year you were
A: Dont care. Were focusing on our comic, art, helping others etc. More important things to worry about than movements I was never a part of. Memes and comics and sharing tools thats it.

Q: Alright dude...you& #39;re...a little full of yourself what makes you think you& #39;re the authority here?
A: Okay probably am. I& #39;m not the authority, but please, for the love of fucking Christ, figure put when promotion is appropriate and when it is not.

There& #39;s enough room on cyberspace for everyone. So if you need to promote then make your own thread. On that same note if you& #39;d like me to signal boost anything...dont tag me. Shoot me a dm with, "hey I& #39;m doing a campaign you mind signal boosting?" And I& #39;ll boost as i scroll
