I recently posted "Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?" in a thread here and was promptly told by @FrogKing that "mentioning oldtroon memes to the zoomcattle here is like speaking to a brick wall". As such, I am making this thread to ask all zoomzooms (and the handful of millennials who post here): what are your favorite oldfag memes?

Since I was born in 1995 (which is often cited as the first year of generation Z), I am just barely old enough to remember many oldfag memes from when I was a kid (yes, I was on imageboards when I was a preteen). "Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?" is, of course, my all-time favorite. To this day, I still ask people that in person and still laugh my ass of at their bewildered responses. The "HURT FEELINGS AND BUTT RANGED" autism macros always made me kek as well, along with the goofy-looking baby picture Babby and all of the edits of it.
 
This happened to xitter, granted it was always coal but ever since the really troony troons migrated to tumblr it's just annoying mainstream trap fans larping as tatebros
Echo chambers are never interesting, whether they're left-wing echo chambers or right-wing echo chambers. What made Twitter so interesting in its heyday was the fact it was home to people from every single political ideology in existence. It was a complete free-for-all, and it was one of the most unregulated, anything-goes spaces on the entire internet. There really isn't anything like that anymore. People today are so politically polarized that they adamantly refuse to be on any site where opinions that they disagree with are stated freely. That's why virtually all sites are just hyperpartisan circlejerks nowadays.

The jannies of pre-elon shitter were lefties doebeit, I got 'nished from there once because I told someone "you say faggot all the time" and it wouldn't let me appeal on account of me writing the word faggot. I think most of the big social medias are like that thoughever. Except YouTube, they'll strike you just for existing regardless of politics, its almost a rite of passage o algo

That was post-#IStandWithHateSpeech Twitter. Milo Yiannopoulos directing a lynch mob to target the female Ghostbusters is what finally pushed Twitter to start caving in to the "human rights" lobby and censoring speech on the platform. Before long, it had turned into 1984 - just like Reddit.

What a lot of people forget is that, from 2006 to 2016, you could post LITERALLY ANYTHING on Twitter as long as it wasn't blatantly illegal. In 2014, for example, former Breitbart writer Pat Dollard infamously tweeted out a call for Americans to "start slaughtering Muslims in the streets" and absolutely nothing happened to his account as a result of it. For its first 10 years, Twitter was one of the most unregulated, anything-goes spaces on the entire internet. Content moderation under Elon Musk is actually far stricter than it was during Twitter's first 10 years. All of these whiny pusstards crying about "hate speech" on Elon Musk's X clearly have very short memories.

Uhh, content moderation in GENERAL was way worse in 2006 to 2016. Police barely knew what the Internet was.
The hysterical media fearmongering about "internet predators" was actually at its peak in the early 2000s. MySpace was ground zero for it. There were a small handful of cases of pedophiles using it to lure kids, so the media tried to turn internet grooming into a some kind of massive epidemic that they could scare boomers with. Ironically, it's actually far more of a real epidemic today, yet you don't hear about it nearly as much.
