distinctive subpopulations present across the internet, easily recognizable, unable to fully acculturate to new environments, greater affinity for their culture-kin than for any other

hey I got mine from USENET and then LiveJournal

lonely wanderers helplessly replicating the cultures of individual MUDs

*narrows eyes* DIku or LP
-
LP, of course, much to the dashing of any commercial hopes i may have ever had. it's hilarious how reliable the mapping of Diku, LP and Tiny to red tribe, gray tribe and blue tribe is
-
ugh, LP
-
I won't even dignify Tiny by acknowledging it
-
Much like Usenet, Tiny* is still over in the corner trucking along, cheerfully indifferent to the rest of the world.

nerrrrrrds

LW? Also don’t forget Newgrounds and YTMND and most file-sharing cultures
-
I've felt the original content media sharing sites never really had enough discussion focus to generate whole subcultures that persisted after their depopulation, but generated enough original tropes and styles to have continuing influence.
-
Like there isn't really much left of a NG or YTMND culture anymore, but you still see a lot of ideas or content from them floating around, and it's often easy to spot when an older popular animator or video creator started there.
-
Well, NG is still a thing believe it or not.

Verrrry interesting. Fair to say this applies to any robust online community that was later disbanded?
