What are the social and political implications of these findings?

Also, I shit you not, I genuinely believe that they are rampant on 4chan. The other day I was on /tv/ and talking about Oppenheimer, and someone thought I was a 9/11 conspiracy schizo truther because I mentioned the documented fact that the rescue dogs would get depressed/listless at finding corpses in the rubble, so the firefighters would pretend to be under there to cheer them up. Somehow, some dumb cunt zoomer that hadn't been alive during 9/11 took that info, and with his dumb cunt brainlet head thought that meant I believed 9/11 never happened.

4chan has a lot of bots, trolls, unfortunately...redditors, zoomers, boomers, retards, etc. but aside from that I remember that I'm there forever. Birds of a feather. Really says a lot about us phantasm.

Makes me think posters who write "tl;dr" in response to a relatively short post are not trolling, they're just genuine illiterate retards.

Implying they would know what that acronym means. Implying they would know what an acronym is at all.

What I'm trying to say is. You think that people who can't communicate in text form and can barely read are going to use an acronym that they don't know?

Tl;dr version can in fact be asked for. If something is too long and you'd like the short run down instead, some people will in fact abide and hand over the goods.

People can speak in memes, (you) know? Do (you) know that? Do (you) understand what I'm talking about? Is it going over (you)r head? Are (you) not comprehending it?

Text can suck. Sometimes it's just better to communicate through speech. That's where tech like phones come in. Some times talking works best.

I literally had this happen about an hour ago and almost fell into the void of wasting time trying to explain what I was saying. People are retarded.

They might not know what an acronym is, but they use plenty of them. Their problem is their low attention span and comprehending the point of what they're reading, not that they can't read. They could read a paragraph, but they can't digest its meaning.

Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company. I have no reason to assume it's a joke. If you're laughing your head off thinking people are angry because you're pretending to be a retard, I have bad news for you: not only are they unlikely to be all that angry about your reply in particular, but you probably are an actual moron, who's using "trolling" as an excuse for your own ignorance
It actually does make me angry to think about what low-effort "trolling" has done to internet discourse though. Why is there so little original content on image boards? Why can't you discuss anything with a shred of depth anymore? Because we let retards run rampant and it disincentivized putting any effort into posting what-so-ever. We used to like tl;dr posts on /new/. Imageboards had quality essays and lengthy debates with sources once.
