ok i got some really positive feedback on this so here’s my game plan:
make the account tomorrow and post a few things to introduce the account and The Wasted Onion
post the first story on monday, and then just keep posting once per day when i get time like the original account did.
its basically a spiritual successor to @onion and ode to imadeanaccount, the biggest difference being that instead of being a bot that posts whatever the newest article is on the onion, i’d manually choose and make a little design with this template and post, making it so that i can choose whatever the best or funniest one is (while avoiding the “American Voices” articles completely). plus i can post extra stuff on the weekend, like old articles from the onion or maybe from other satire sites potentially, you never know.
if you think this account sounds interesting to you then let me know! it only makes sense for me to do this if people actually want it and would want to follow y’know?
playing around with a little redesign for @onion, potentially as a new account that i would manually post to rather than a bot, meaning i can choose which article is the best each day and what not, plus giving it its own identity for wasteof
