 in fairness, the culture borrows heavily from 4chan.  The use of slurs/  in-jokes as fidelity tests (just missing the gore).
also there's greentext.
look, it's just a bit of cross platform posting. look at all the screengrabs from other websites that are both news & injecting content to encourage debate and lulz.
to be honest, i think my original point still stands.
the internet is de-centralizing- and i think that's a good thing - but it's up to users to cross platform post to make sure info spreads.

i mean, if you just want a monolithic culture with only your own selected clique of users, what's the point in the website?  A private discord would be more suitable.
