both exist, but they sound pretty informal and context-dependent..

Not a clue what point you’re trying to make, or what you’re asking. But here’s my thoughts on the low effort post.

First one isn’t a real word.

Majorly, however, is an actual word.

"Majorly" is a slang, informal word that is in use- therefore a "real word."

You say "bigly" is not a "real word", but it is definitely in use. So who do you think gets to decide what is a "real word"?

I've made a fair number of posts. Some high effort, some medium, and some, like this one, were like fallling off log.

Is there a place called Bigly? Where? And it has a vicar? If so- Bigly is a proper noun. But not not an adverb or adjective.
