Yeah, but there are a couple of 'famous' users even over here. I bet some might have heard or can recognize violet in here

It was a post by Nebulous_Keito.

You're welcome!

That was a more hopeful and literate version of the future than the one we're one. Were Ender's Game rewritten now, Peter and Violet would be influencers...

In today's world, there are definitely some online personalities with too much influence. Think of a Andrew Tate, for example. Not exactly the same level as what's happened in Ender's Game (different kind of "violent posting"), but it is the same kind of online influence. If Tate were to announce his bid for presidency, he'd surely gain a few votes.

violently posting

Er... how does one even do that? oO

It's been a while, but I remember his siblings being quite brilliant, and posting online as ancient Greek philosophers locked in hot debate, who actually had very similar goals behind the scenes. Or something like that.

Well... I guess that's what you mean by that, so question answered! 😳

The idea of the whole world valuing online debates and caring how good the arguments are, and the way this seemed almost believable before the internet grew to reach everyone, is kind of depressing in retrospect. At least it's also funny.

Ender's Game came out before the Web. But like many science fiction authors of the time, Card was a very early Internet user and would have been familiar with Usenet newsgroups.
