@atlas_core @coolboymew @hj There's also the fact that with the death of imageboards, just like with the death of Tumblr the users there don't just vanish into thin air. Instead they went to places like the fediverse.

So all the battle hardened shitposters who either used imageboards at one time or who were active until the troons killed it (such as with the /qa/ raid on /tttt/) and who don't want to go to the hellscape of places like the sharty being attacked by CP spammers (either angry "no bad tactics" leftists, feds, or the edgiest kids online depending on who you talk to), settled on the fedi and so you have a non-zero chance of dealing with the same people who called you a fag on MW2.
