*bump*

Today I learned about Victorian 'Coffin Torpedoes', a system of triggers that detonated an explosion of lead balls if the coffin lid was opened after burial, to deter grave robbers.

I honestly understand that you may not like the idea of ​​upside down posts and I am aware that it may have been annoying to see so many channels with this type of post. I hate changes and setting the posts upside down was weird for me, but at the same time I thought it was funny, it's April 1st after all and this is a silly meme channel, not a first necessity service whose fruition I am preventing by making it incomprehensible.
Some comments really saddened me and made me stop wanting to post anything else today.

Hey!
I know that many folks here were unpleasantly surprised by the upside-down content, that's what I can say about this.

I manage this channel alone. it represents nothing more than my desire to share the content that is close to me. I saw a very strong negative reaction, but forgive me and my impulsive desire to participate for the first time in this kind of humorous holiday that I have avoided all my life.

I'm sorry that this hurt anyone or made you feel like you weren't welcome here, and I ask that you understand me as someone who just posts memes here that they like, who alone make decisions about what to post, what to do, not has a content plan and any profit.

I had a number of scheduled memes (because I knew I'd forget to post upside-down if I posted as soon as I found them, which is what I usually do) and I have a job, which makes it somewhat difficult to respond to dissatisfaction instantly.

Probably another negative thing is that many channels from @Alembic decided to participate in this, and you often follow several of our channels. Once again I want to remind you that we are just a group of peps who are united by common values, yes we know each other, but we are not some kind of syndicate that has something from all our channels and most often this is one person who just posts something.

That's how things are. I don’t have the strength to comment or write anything else right now. If you suddenly decide to talk further about this, I hope for your consciousness.

Stay safe folks ❤️

I took some time to decide what to write because the way this situation exploded was unexpected and I admit I was very saddened by what happened.
Knowing that an initiative designed to be funny caused discomfort and that someone felt bad because of my posts was really complicated for me to process.
Since I opened this channel I have always done my best to make it a welcoming place where everyone feels welcome. It has also happened previously that some content was problematic in some way and I have always taken the opportunity to educate myself and fix it. This time it won't be different.
I am an Audhd person, I usually fail to predict how people will react to what I say or do and I am truly mortified to know that I have created problems for other neurodiverse people by underestimating their sensory needs.
In my previous post I didn't want to belittle the problem, I just tried to explain the reason for this initiative for April's Fool. Knowing that some people felt attacked and forced to abandon the channel both by my posts and by the reactions of other subs saddens me greatly.
Honestly I'm so overwhelmed by this situation that I don't know how to handle it anymore.
As mentioned I will do my best to educate myself about the different sensory issues and I will delete all the upside down posts because it makes me uncomfortable knowing that they are still on the channel after what they caused. Other than that, I hope to start posting normally again soon, although at the moment looking at the channel and reading the messages just makes me want to cry and I'm trying not to open it.
I'm so sorry.

Goals tbh
