  The irony of your downvotes re: a common initialization for the exact subculture this community is focused on… Just how many boomers are here, anyhow? 🤣🤦🏼‍♂️

    I’ve been on the internet since 92 and never heard ITT before but I guess TIL

      I think the first time I saw that was on PHPbb. When people were still doing “first” as comments.

      You’ve been lucky in a way. Missing it for over at least 20 years. It’s like never having seen “ROTFLOL”.

      Same here, been active on Discord and Telegram, and a small amount of Reddit, I don’t use the cancers called FB, X(Twitter), Tik Tok, or Instagram, and I’d never seen ITT till just now… Maybe it’s used on that crap social media I listed. I haven’t seen it used here on Lemmy either.

        Reddit is where I’ve seen it. Usually for pithy remarks about the comments in a given thread

        I could see it all over reddit, in fact is the only place I’ve seen it.

      ITT has been around since the concept of threads existed. Early 90s at least. Very common. It’s odd you’ve never seen it before.
