User:El C/What Lulz got to do with it, got to do with it?

Recently, you may see me engage in moderate lulz. While these are mostly high on the stupid/annoying quotient, occasionally some irreverence will sneak in there, so watch out for those! Now for something no one asked for or cares about (at length).

The Dark Side of the Lulz

Encyclopedia Dramatica

Honestly, don't know that much about it (mostly slivers of memory fragments from their more Wikipedia-centred era of the pre-2010s). Never visited even once pre-2020. In the latest visits, mostly got teary eyed about pre-2010s Wikipedia folks and events which I've largely forgotten about (much thought filtering needed, obviously).

But, generally, it does look like the days of neo-nazi admins such as weev (and all the extra-shit in between) are done. Basing that on an Oct 2020 interview conducted by Vsauce2 (unrelated-related: Derek Muller is da best!) of new firebrand Israeli ED admin Oddguy/Ez Pz. A changing of the guards, perhaps? Hopefully (though let's not jinx it!).

Kiwi Farms

Never visited pre-July 2021, and even that was prompted by an urgent English Wikipedia -related matter. Otherwise, don't really know that much about it outside of the WP/ED pages to confidently comment on further. AN: The whole Cow Man bit by yours truly was originally unrelated to "lol cows" or "milk," but it is a nice bonus.

The rest

Nothing I know enough about in detail or otherwise find worth mentioning at this time.

Where

Internets output

Due to 80 percent not giving a fuck enough to bother and 20 percent privacy concerns (in hindsight, wise), I've had no internets output outside of the Wikimedia family of sites, of which: 99 percent at the English Wikipedia, 0.8 percent at the Hebrew Wikipedia, and 0.2 percent everywhere else (mostly Commons). Oh and email, of course, for those select few.

Zero output

Since there's nothing else to write about, why not write about it at length? AN: btw, me touching on the subject of my digital footprint isn't intended as a boast. And it most certainly isn't intended as a challenge. Please do not try to WP:DOX me. I cherish my RL privacy.

Social media

Never. Zero participation, zero interest. Never even bothered with a non-posting, read-only account for any of them. FakeBook (or prior, MySpaz), Twatter, et cetera, etc., can all suck it. Oh, and to the Chinese overlords who own ShitTok: you can extra- suck it. Stop preying on kids, you monsters.

Message boards

A couple of read-only accounts in the pre-2010s. Zero after. I did seriously consider joining the WPO for a time, the closest I've come to a non-Wikimedia internets output, but in the end thought better of it (the reasons are my own).

Google family of sites

YouTube Premium, please take more of my money! Never posted.

Commerical A/V platforms

Some music, movie, TV. Never posted.

Gaming platforms

Whatever I have to get in addition to Steam, I get, I guess. Never posted, but if you see me in-game, there may be some campers-lulz to be had.

"Lulzy" content

Mostly plagiarizing funnies from other people who are actually funny. For example: Cow Man is a MoistCr1TiKaL creation, while Darth Tyrannus (a fucking dinosaur in Star Wars) is a Videogamedunkey creation (and so on). But I do take partial ownership of Buck Flowers (the lamest of the bunch), because possession is nine-tenths of the lawl.

Ad over

But what is a VPN, you may ask...?
