LORE & ORIGIN
Wiktionary defines doomposting as the practice of continually commenting on internet news while magnifying disagreeable outcomes. Urban Dictionary has an entry dated January 27, 2020 describing someone who expects the worst possible scenario regardless of evidence, often saying they hope to be wrong. The word combines doom with the suffix -post, as in shitpost, and sits next to doomscrolling, which describes consuming bad news rather than posting it. No source documents who first used it.
