I just found out about this and other than the tons of creeps and weirdos over here this looks pretty cool...😅
I've went to high school in KL with a lot of people from different countries and it'd be dope to meet more.
Since when has this been a thing, though? Idek why I have never heard about forums like this connecting foreigners. Is being low-key part of this whole thing?

First advice - I nearly dumped the thread because of the word, "Dope".
Slang is all well and good as long as it's commonly understood, but your word is far better known as slang for drugs rather than your intent of "excellent".

This version of 'dope' is quite new and not much used outside small groups of mostly younger people.

Clarity, whilst sometimes boring, is handy.

As a note, your use of 'smack' in your profile is another easily misunderstood word, and another that could get you into trouble in Malaysia.
As a common word referring to an illegal drug, you're going to have to be very careful who you say it to or you're likely to end up with handcuffs and forced drug testing.
