As the other poster pointed out, /b/ was never good;). But: >A 2010 edgelord may say "pool's closed" while a 2025 edgelord may say "it was a Roman salute", but the spirit behind is probably the same. I think I disagree. I don't think "pool's closed" was ever boosted into the mainstream, nor was it legitimized across truly fascist or racist communities; it was an internet meme for internet people. "It was a roman salute" is a phrase of normies that likely have limited experience with computers and online communities; without getting into the politics, a certain class of people actually believe "it was a roman salute". "pool's closed" meant nothing outside of specific communities.
