Jackson soon discovered that Amazon suspended his account because a Black delivery driver who’d come to his house the previous day had reported hearing racist remarks from his video doorbell. In a brief email sent to Jackson at 3 a.m., the company explained how it unilaterally placed all of his linked devices and services on hold as it commenced an internal investigation.
The accusations baffled Jackson. He and his family are Black. When he reviewed the doorbell’s footage, he saw that nobody was home at the time of the delivery. At a loss for what could have prompted the accusation of racism, he suspected the driver had misinterpreted the doorbell’s automated response: “Excuse me, can I help you?”

The irony of your downvotes re: a common initialization in the exact subculture this community is focused on… Just how many boomers are here, anyhow? 🤣🤦🏼♂️

I think the first time I saw that was on PHPbb. When people were still doing “first” as comments.
You’ve been lucky in a way. Missing it for over at least 20 years. It’s like never having seen “ROTFLOL”.
Edit: just realized nobody ITT answered the question so at least I will: “In This Thread”.
My dude, as someone from the early 90s internet myself that’s not new tangled speech, that’s old af and from text forums and Usenet threads.

ITT has been around since the concept of threads existed. Early 90s at least. Very common. It’s odd you’ve never seen it before.

Reddit is where I’ve seen it. Usually for pithy remarks about the comments in a given thread

I could see it all over reddit, in fact is the only place I’ve seen it.

Well that’s just stupid. He uses discord and not Facebook, so that would be “ok zoomer”.
