    Yeah, seconded. I saw a decent chunk of things in person like I saw on bash.org. People were silly and/or dumb long before friendster, myspace, facebook, etc. and did plenty of shitposting (and just general cringe-y teenage obnoxiousness) on IRC and the like.

      Shitposting is a tradition literally as old as the internet

      It’s older than that, really, but before message boards it was just pranking, so honestly I’m glad for people to have the emotional outlet this way instead

        It’s nice here that so many have their proper name. I couldn’t get “psud” on Reddit, I have it on three instances here :)

        If there are people here who have known me on any of the old internet they might recognise me
