can't really be worse than before given that there was barely content being posted to begin with. have been pleasantly surprised to see very little "le narwhal bacons when?" shit so far, but that's me being a grouch and doesn't really constitute etiquette
You've been away from there for a while huh? That's ancient Reddit stuff at this point.
yeah, i'll admit that's a weak example lol
i suppose i'm burned out from doomscrolling threads flooded with those kind of call/response in-jokes (another user down the thread linked some more relevant examples), very glad it's less egregious here atm
Agreed. I don't mind it all as much as some do, but it is nice to have a new space where it isn't as prevalent.
I think half of reddit has no idea what the narwhal bacon thing means anymore. Maybe more than that since the exodus.
Agreed. Tell me about it
It bacons at midnight.
lol i don't think i've seen this since like 2011
clearly hexachrome has been hiding out in a little used corner of the internet and isn't caught up with current memes. (I think i'm jealous of them)
yea i just used the dumbest example possible haha, sadly still witnessing the horrors of people posting things
I dunno, we've had some trash get popular over the years, but I kinda enjoy the "absurd surrealism" meme culture we've got now where nobody bats an eye at hearing the phrase "shadow money wizard gang," which is in fact a real thing.
