what's the deal with iFunny?

39  2019-09-08 by Futhermucker

i remember deleting this app off my ipod touch in 2011 because it was a retarded waste of space. that's the last i heard of it until a few months ago, where apparently it's been festering and creating it's own ecosystem all this time

subs like r/averageredditor, which admittedly is pretty funny, are apparently run by ifunny users? any community that makes fun of reddit has my attention, but i just redownloaded it and it's still r/funny tier cancer. have i fallen for elaborate bait? insights appreciated

On 9/5/18 I met my best friend. Nearly 5 months later she gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Just a reminder that being a father is not about “blood” but about being available with unconditional love and support

Wait people still use iFunny? I used that in middle school

icq baby

Ya apparently it’s an alt right shithole now and they’ve had their own shooters

I've been hearing about it seemingly out of nowhere lately. It was always the Goodwill of memes as far as I knew and I'm honestly surprised it's still using up server space somewhere.

because it’s such a desolate wasteland mde types have a little enclave where they hide. It’s tiny and there’s probably no moderation on ifunny.

They are actually secret Kings.

link?

Ifunny is literally run by a russian incel.

Basically iFunny had its own MDEesque “babby’s first /pol/“ community that got benned and migrated to /r/averageredditor.

benned

Mods plz.

It never got banned it is alive and well

the whole thing didn't get banned, but a lot of big alt right users did, and they migrated to reddit

Nobody migrated to reddit. We hate Reddit. Our subreddits are outposts not migrations.

The reason you are seeing all the r/funny cringe is because you are on the surface level app. You have to dig to find the real community. I can give you a list of accounts to sub to to start to find the real community.

My man out here recruiting iFunniers. Mad respect kang!! ✌🏿😪

We started r/averageredditor and r/bruhfunny and unfortunately averageredditor got overrun by average redditor rightoids and bruhfunny got quarantined

Robert’s got a quick hand

do the curtains match the drapes 😉😉😉😉😉

lmao dont even bother with these pathetic redditors. just imagine what they look like

Some edgy teenagers on iFunny got mad at reddit for it's (admittedly cringy) superiority complex. They made a community called /r/bruhfunny which is basically an outpost of iFunniers who want to bully/make fun of redditors where they can see it.

The humor is pretty edgy and juvenile but was pretty funny seeing them make fun of redditors. Eventually they founded a specialized subreddit for making fun of redditors, /r/averageredditor, which quickly got overrun by MDE style reddit rightoids, rather than the edgy zoomer ifunny rightoids.

Apparently /r/bruhfunny got quarantined because one of it's members tried to doxx a journalist. All in all, pretty unhinged group, but they make fun of redditors so they're cool.

Wasn't there a lot of iFunny criticism on reddit years ago? Cringing at it for not being funny etc.
