I think it was pretty popular on one of the US RPG forums, but at the time there were UK forums I could post on so it never seemed relevant.

And now we live in the smouldering ashes of web 2.0 with Twitter going full X, the algoblob of FBIGWA going full Twitter and LinkedIn snarling at TikTok.

Although maybe Tumblr is good? I couldn't tell you. I've never been able to follow a conversation that wasn't a screenshot there. 
 @6d5fa5b5 funnily enough it’s a term I only came across recently, on here and in the NSR discord server I’m in. Prior to that most of my TTRPG discussion happened on Reddit, and I guess the term never caught on there. 

As an aside, I’m glad to be off Reddit these days, but I am definitely missing the size of the RPG community there.

I'm missing the big megathreads where people complained about D&D and then I could show them the places where A5e fixed it.

I also sort of miss the perennial "how do I implement X "race"" so I could just link the books I wrote.

Everyone here either doesn't play it or doesn't talk about it in any depth and, weirdly, I miss that. 
 @6d5fa5b5 im personally glad to be in a space that’s not so dominated by 5e, but I can understand why you feel differently 😅 I’m also wishing that I could more NSR talk here, so I get it

I'd be interested in that as well.

It feels like it's just specialist and game designers here. :-/  I really like helping people get started and there isn't really the opportunity here.

Ah well.  Maybe that'll change.
