This list might have been true 10 years ago
I can’t even think of a meme that 4chan has
n’tcome up with in the past decade (new racial slurs don’t count)Back in 2009 they were the bleeding edge for shitposts though
Edit: am illiterate
All the memes that are hot with Gen Z start on tiktok. They’re usually video based so couldn’t be on 4chan to begin with
Did you mean “has”?
Yeah, edited
You’re absolutely right, 4chan had the sauce back in the day.
Now it’s just sad.
I got into it for a while about ten years ago and at the time a lot of their content was spilling over to other sites and they were equal parts brilliant, stupid, witty, retarded, open and bigoted. They were a source of a lot of internet chatter that got people talking.
Now I go on once in a while to check in on them … and it feels like they’re stuck in the same rut and it’s the same group of weirdos trying to restart things that had already been done years ago. They’re not new anymore and they just sound like a broken recording playing the same thing over and over again. It was funny the first few times … now it’s just sad and stupid.
My thoughts on 4chan as a breeding ground of a pile of internet culture, the pretty well unrestrained anarchy that defines the place mixed with the ability to post whatever insanity drips out of your head makes for a perfect shit storm.
It’s a lot like bacteria in a petri dish, generations of meme evolutions happen in a matter of days until something shows up that’s so virulent it infects the rest of the web.
Yeah, its just not the same once mootles left
Now there’s LinkedIn between Facebook and Instagram
This was maybe true 7 years ago or so. But I can’t name a single meme that has come out of 4chan since Soyjaks went out of fashion (and I honestly think Soyjaks directly killed 4chan’s relevance to wider internet culture.)
Q-anon is probably the biggest one.
Check out the HBO documentary ‘Q: Into the Storm’.
No one is in a line feeding one to the other … everyone is just in one giant hog pen where we keep picking up shit and flinging it at each other
I would say right after reddit. So many reposts on Lemmy from reddit.
How do you synchronize all this pooping? Is this what NTP is for?
Human centipede
What’s the M one?
Risa is jacking it into 4 chans mouth. I only post OP stuff
It’s a separate line coming off Reddit
A splash if you will
I’ll be the one to say it: it’s way down the bottom of the chart. I see so many memes from like 1994 that it’s almost more like the completion of a shit circle than a straight shit line.
If you’re seeing them here, there was quite a bit here where posting old memes was a thing. It wasn’t just then making it to the fediverse, but nostalgia posting.
Twitter should be above Reddit
A lot of Tumblr stuff on reddit too
At this point we might change the diagram to a circleshit.
I think it’s more like a cess pool and everyone is wallowing around it all thinking their part of the pool is better than anyone else.
Lemmy sits in the corner, just watching :3
Well i posted my meme here only, then someone on twitter posted it there, so I would say on top, but with a different chain
I feel discriminated against!
Depends on what instance/community. For example,
lemmygrad and Hexbear are a closed loop. They just trade shit back and forth.
