    The Shitposting argument style is the disruption in online conversations, usually of significant issues of discourse such as political and social issues, by making proofless and inflammatory claims that derail the conversation. The arguments are just reasonable enough that they come across as genuine beliefs and move the conversation to an irrelevant discussion.

    Shitposting is just the new name for trolling after trolling was changed to mean online bullying.

      I’ve never seen shitposting used like in this definition. It’s just making low effort posts
