      OP is Original Poster.

      When a post is crossposted, the term OOP is used instead (Original Original Poster), as opposed to the OP of the crosspost.

      Its used in r/SubredditDrama or r/BestOfLegalAdvice where the OP would say “I’m not OOP”, in order to to reminds commeters to not direct their rage against OP.

      In this context, OOP refers to the user who originally posted it on the original timeline.

        Ah okay, thanks for clearing it up! I had no idea that double-original-op was actually a thing, and made me question myself about the meaning of the acronym.
