        Technically, wiki/Shitposting:

        In Internet culture, shitposting or trashposting is the act of using an online forum or social media page to post content that is of “aggressively, ironically, and trollishly poor quality”. Shitposts are generally intentionally designed to derail discussions or cause the biggest reaction with the least effort. It may even sometimes be orchestrated as part of a co-ordinated flame war to render a website unusable by its regular visitors.

        But in my experience nowdays (especially in smol communities) shitposting is basically spamposting, you can post anything imho/afaik, as long as people find it funny & engage, it’s all good …
