When a user in an online tech support forum, especially on reddit, responds to a specific technical question with unsolicited hardware/software advice, personal endorsements of unrelated technology, unrelated tangents, or put-downs about the asker's use of technology or level of technical ability. Portmanteau of "technology" and "mansplaining".
User 1: "I have a Windows 7 PC that keeps freezing every time I start a certain program. Can anyone help me figure out why it's doing this?"
User 2: "Bro wtf, why are you still using Windows 7? Are you a complete moron? Just upgrade to Windows 11 already. It's so much better. If your computer still runs Windows 7, you're living in the fucking dark ages. Get a laptop with a Ryzen CPU and at least 32GB of RAM. It's better for gaming and really worth the price."
User 1: "Thank you for techsplaining. Are you going to answer my question or not?"

Get the Techsiest mug.An antonym for a word "Techbro" used in internet discussions.
Instead of inventing new, modern and useless technology, they go back to the past for technology that become useless due to obsolescence.
While wanting internet to become a better place, they lack the desire to have a deeper understanding of issues that internet has, so the best thing they do, is try their hardest to mimic and praise the idea of what old internet was that they made up in their head, usually that idea has nothing in common with how internet really was.
While techbros cluelessly try to move internet technology forward into Web 3.0, Techsiss have a big love for web 1.0, and "vibes" of how internet was in the late 2000s.
Many of them are lib-left, users of Tumblr and Twitter, artists, animators or other people who barely if ever touch code, but alas a thousand of sparkledog-filled neocities websites do exist, so they in fact can code.
As was said above, they have only surface level understanding of internet history, and considering how internet was back then they would probably hate it.

Now if you try to discuss anything about internet, you'll either look like a Techsis or a Techbro, its better to just go and touch grass.
I saw another video where delusional Techsis was yapping about how great old web was, and their understanding of it was nothing more than a bunch of scheenshots of colorfull gif filled personal pages of autistic teenagers.
You talk about internet history and you dont even know what Usesnet is? You are a fucking Techsis STFU and RTFF"
