The irony is, if you type this phrase in Google with quotes, it returns exactly one match: your comment. So it's not surprising I've never heard of it before.

to which I can only say [citation needed]. Because I spent on time looking but could find any explicit instances, just more claims that these people did exist.

Proper Community Engagement

The irony is that if you were alive during the late 2010s, you would already know. You spent time looking but couldn't find blogs or Reddit posts that were either scrubbed at the time or scrubbed since? Have you ever heard of Actix(-web)? Read what little is left online of the toxic community's discourse during that time.

You're surprised that what has become an inferior search engine can't find the hordes of toxic examples from an even more toxic community known to suppress and try to rewrite reality and then history, and then gaslighting whenever adverse topics are brought up, insinuating that they're fabricated. No, this is not a thread I'm going to continue with you or anyone else.

Good thinking

Indeed — please do not continue this thread any further. We do not need this kind of personal attack here.
