Most new memes are completely inscrutable to me, probably because I don't use much social media anymore besides Hexbear. But I still feel nostalgic for memes like this and other memes that were popular when I was in high school

    Lol this reminded me around this time is when I was on Reddit a lot and they arbitrarily decided Imgur was a platform for untermensch. They’d always be talking shit about comments under Imgur posts like Reddit was/is any better lol

      From my hazy memory of that time period I think I remember the problem being that imgur users did not know which posts were simply hosting images for reddit threads and so they'd end up in the comments of the imgur post all confused, sometimes hostile to the person who posted the image, not understanding it wasn't for them.

        Imgur was literally founded by a Redditor to host images for Reddit, but eventually Reddit started hosting its own images and Imgur started having its own comment sections. It's carcinization - every website eventually becomes cancer.

        There was a mini copypasta they always would post like “Imgurians are like peoples living in sewers not realizing it was built for the city above” or some goober shit like that. lol
