Dear fellow indie creators,
I'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'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'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'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. 'Read the room' 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'm here to post memes, promote my work and help others who need it. I'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're...a little full of yourself what makes you think you're the authority here?
A: Okay probably am. I'm not the authority, but please, for the love of fucking Christ, figure put when promotion is appropriate and when it is not.

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