Hello, I'm the real Internet of Shit. Let's party?

208 Upvotes

Hello! I'm @internetofshit on Twitter, and thought it was finally time to stop lurking. n0ko was kind enough to let me contribute to the subreddit, so I'll be hanging around here a lot more to share all the awful stuff I come across. I realize most people aren't on Twitter, so it's fun to be on Reddit too.

If you have any questions, flick me a PM, or if you want to come hang out in chat, there's a Discord here.
