a few years ago on tumblr there was a clash between two different competing communities for their priority in the #liftblr hashtag. This got a lot of people really mad in those communiuties and unfortunately for everyone else, was really funny.
I really hope someone at some point jumped on a weightlifter's post to tell them it's wrong and immoral to lift and hurting low paid retail workers.
"What do you mean, you've never been detained? Do you even lift?!"
it was a tumblr community, so communites on them often suffix with -blr, like bookblr
wondered how this ended up, so looked at the #liftblr tag on tumblr today. there is still a bit of a mix but the shoplifters have the numbers by the looks of it. i do like all the people censoring lift like "l1ft" or "lyft" when also openly tagging their posts with the tag for shoplifters, sly and cunning
#lifthost should be a dual purpose tag but we need SOLIDARITY between our weightlifters and shoplifters
absolutely. imagine what a wonderful things the lifters and the lifters could do if they combined their forces
of course the real resolution would be to assign the name to elevator enthusiasts
This reminds me of the time I looked at the #poly tag (I forget on what website) and it was a pretty equal mix of polyamory and Polynesia
