Palmer Luckey Leaves Facebook

All of the examples you've been given are hilariously wrong. 'Shitposting' is a play on the idea that people with non-pc views are 'shitlords.' It grew out of groups like "Shit Reddit Says" and "Shit 4chan Says" that meant to police language on those sites. tl;dr A "shitpost" is a post that's not politically correct.

Shitposting is just making terrible posts. That could be posting lame stuff, making the same sort of post that is always made on those sites, or just being a nuisance spamming.

Just like the way pepe the frog changed. The connotations around shitposting changed.

Noooo. The term shitposting significantly predates SRS. Please see the Know Your Meme entry on it for more info.

No. Shitposting is making terrible posts. Low quality, dumb low effort, etc...
