Now thats a meme i havent seen in 20 years

Go on...

What happened to that shit? I hate how something like that can emerge, take hold, push people into conspiracies and the right, literally destroy families, then go away and nobody cares

You should check out the HBO documentary on Qanon. It's fantastic. Essentially, no. However, I don't doubt for a second that Elon didn't try to co-opt it at some point.

For revenge

The Elon thing is possible, and there's a screenshot in the Reddit thread that's kinda convincing, but I'm still not bought in.

Tinfoil hat brain is wondering if there's something in there someone's supposed to find but 😂 🤷🏻

i'm fairly certain there are more than likely a LOT of politicians on there with very questionable posting records who would probably be on a sex offender registry if it got out.

A bunch of chuds got angry that they were banned because they went brigading against LGBTQ+ folk.

This was the end result

By my understanding, 4chan left themselves vulnerable which, given the circles they foster, means they were going to be compromised. No fear of reprisal or consequence for it either. Not like when attacking a major corporation or government.

For the lulz!

As much as I hate Elmo, I still value truth more. There is 0 evidence he's behind that account. And given that the account claims to own Twitter (= claims to be Elmo), it's far more likely to be a troll than a secret-but-not-secret account by the richest fuckface in the world

That is all 4chan lingo. As a general rule of thumb, if it sounds like something Elon would say, it's from 4chan.

Lemmy and 4chan do have one thing in common

Hating reddit.

If so, it's a fitting way for them to die.

4chan died a long time ago.
