What is a shitpost?
I think I can get the idea. But could you provide an example from him?
- lugg 10y agoIt's just a term referring to a shitty post.
- strictnein 10y agoMore "worthless" than "shitty". Some people call posting humorous nonsense on Facebook or Twitter as "shitposting" as well. Doesn't add anything, but can be amusing in small doses.
- oh_sigh 10y agoA shitpost is hard to classify, but it is usually an off-topic post intended to derail, hijack, circlejerk, or otherwise spam a conversation. I don't have any examples of Palmer shitposting, because his scheme never really got off the ground. A generic example of a shitpost would be if say, someone posted in this thread this image: http://i.imgur.com/QoZHVLs.jpg http://i.imgur.com/QoZHVLs.jpg and demanded that we only post spiderman memes, instead of talking about the intended topic.
- atrendyguy 10y agoAll of the examples you've been given are hilariously wrong. 'Shitposting' is a play on the idea that people with non-pc views are 'shitlords.' It grew out of groups like "Shit Reddit Says" and "Shit 4chan Says" that meant to police language on those sites. tl;dr A "shitpost" is a post that's not politically correct.
- wavefunction 10y agoShitposting is just making terrible posts. That could be posting lame stuff, making the same sort of post that is always made on those sites, or just being a nuisance spamming.
- atrendyguy 10y agoJust like the way pepe the frog changed. The connotations around shitposting changed.
- obstinate 10y agoNoooo. The term shitposting significantly predates SRS. Please see the Know Your Meme entry on it for more info.
- aanm1988 10y agoNo. Shitposting is making terrible posts. Low quality, dumb low effort, etc...
- aptwebapps 10y agoAs you can see from your replies, it has more than one definition depending on where on the internet you are.
