Same here, been active on Discord and Telegram, and a small amount of Reddit, I don’t use the cancers called FB, X(Twitter), Tik Tok, or Instagram, and I’d never seen ITT till just now… Maybe it’s used on that crap social media I listed. I haven’t seen it used here on Lemmy either.
OK it’s more a Reddit thing it appears and the RRs (Reddit Refugees) need to maintain a comfort level and familiarity, that’s fine. But never good in life to use terms that may not be understood by your audience, and definitely not good to assume that everyone understands those terms and belittle or be condescending if someone doesn’t understand.
OK I always hated Reddit, never really used it much… Only a couple subs for apps I use, mainly to get updates from the Dev, and help a few dummies sometimes. I’ve been much more active here on Lemmy and haven’t noticed that.

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.
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”.

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