It just means using any kind of community or forum to express inane, meaningless thoughts on a whim, somewhat like a microblogging service like twitter. These posts have no intention of provoking any meaningful discussion whatsoever, and can best be described as "pissing in the wind", thus the term "shitposting".
Most of the time people do it in a desperate attempt to distract themselves from how far into a downward spiral of depression and meaninglessness their lives have become. The thought process goes along the lines of something like "If I just never take anything seriously then I won't have the chance of taking myself seriously and thus I'll never come to the realization that I have nothing going for me"
"Shitposting" can be kind of considered a genus of "ironic humor" that's so prevalent in Generation X.
