If Socrates was on 4chan all he would do is reply to someone with a completely unrelated topic and use it as evidence that the person was wrong.

It's either Aristophanes' Socrates or Plato's. Sometimes Xenophon when people remember he existed, but he was in no real position to know the guy.

Since multiple sources knew and wrote about the man, and we know from multiple sources that he was executed for saying and doing more or less the things that Plato said he did and said, it seems reasonable to conclude that Socrates and Plato's Socrates bear a decent resemblance.
I think there's this revisionist tendency in the history of ideas now to leap from the fact that our second-hand account of some major historical figure isn't entirely factual to the belief that it's almost entirely fabricated.
