a "shitposting" is one you don't like, but don't want to dignify with the label of "misinformation", then.
The un-examined question is "where did the demand for dignity online come from?" Why is "shitposting" a bad thing? "to be amusing" is not in itself a bad goal. When its expressing contradiction its frowned on.
Often it is a frustrated alternative to the controversial discussion that should be happening, but can't because of groupthink.
