Has anyone mentioned the "Cosmic Death Fungus" threads on /pol/ and /x/ yet? It's been... Something.

There's been a fringe conspiracy theory in woo health circles for like 15 years that basically states that (((modern processed food))) and medicine have introduced harmful levels of parasites and candida (aka thrush/yeast) into our digestive systems and they're the cause of ALL physical and mental illnesses, especially those pesky "new" ones like autism and chronic fatigue!

How do you cleanse yourself of these parasites and candida spores, you ask?

Well, some of the remedies involve:
-drinking turpentine
-eating clay
-drinking straight wormwood extract
-Jilly Juice!
-of course, le ivermectin

I would just LOVE to post a link to one of these threads if it weren't for the fact that anons are posting pictures of their actual diarrhea and shedding their intestinal lining as proof of the "worms".

This conspiracy isn't a new thing, but I guess vaccine hysteria brought it back.

Same thing has been happening to me as well actually. Know it happens frequently on mobile but no clue on if it happens on desktop, might browse for a bit on my pc later to see if I get redirected on there.

But yeah this shit is annoying. I just want to learn about the new precure series and see what /a/ thinks of it, not be redirected to a scam page every 5 seconds.

Everything is fine here on both 4chan and 4channel, on mobile and desktop, and across multiple browsers.
 
I'll never understand spammers. Gore, scat, loli, actual cp. It takes very little to set them off and even if they're banned, they're back in 5 minutes with a new IP. Sometimes it feels like any given board is at the mercy of the schizos.
I just don't see a future for image boards. Most of the problems you mentioned could be resolved with better staff. But of course the staff is always unpaid so you just get welfare NEETs and troons that get disability. Smaller image boards were better for a while but with ChatGPT I just don't see a path forward.

Personally I find that ChatGPT's output is garbage. But its sophisticated enough that it slips past most antibotting measures and staff. It seems like a tool that was purpose built to create fake Amazon reviews and disrupt online communities like the chans.

The ban system is the best way to show that 4chan is a relic that, by all rights, shouldn't exist anymore. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the occasional thread but holy fuck.
 
The lack of an account system is the issue. Even something as simple as requiring you to register an email in order to post would massively cut back on the schizo and bot spam. As things are now, it's just way too easy for one person to completely ruin a board.
Well the argument in favor of its current system is that accounts can be deleted and can be used to strip anonymity from 4chan users. The problems with the current system are of course the ones you've laid out.

This is why the internet needs to return to decentralized message boards instead of using the shitty social silos

Yeah its impossible to have any conversation on there these days. Within two posts the thread gets flooded by stonewalling discordniggers shitting it up and your post is ignored.
 
At least they should make the temp IDs apply to every board so we can prevent samefagging and samefagging accusations.
 
On the misery filled out of /pol/ a place where you can find decent news if you disregard the people saying nigger every few words and how Jews are behind everything, there is a single user I have been unable to figure out. The creatures name is German Tranny.

German Tranny comes out of their shell only when anti tranny threads are created. Their posting style is of a typical ‘save trans kids’ ‘you only hate because you love’ and other copes, projections and other worries for transgenderism. This wouldn’t be out of the ordinary, however they also post purposed photos of themselves. The photos are on my other phone, hence I do not have access to it currently I will do my best to describe them.

The first thread I saw of this user, someone found out somehow found their Reddit account and posted a picture.

The picture is of a Asian man, with glasses, dressed in cat ears and a sailor moon outfit. No attempt has been made to present female. This Reddit account no longer exists, and I asked German Tranny about it. They explained they ‘messaged the user and got rid of it’ this suggests that this might be the real users.

The other pictures are considered ‘thirst pictures’ , I have cropped said photos to remove the thighs of the person.

Through autism vision, you can see a family photo of 3 people, the picture is too grainy to make what they could be. Bedsheets are in constant with other photos. Along with curtains.

The next picture is of a creature, dough like face, long braid dyed pink. Dressed in a white cartican? And skirt with boots on. Reverse image search found nothing.

The third claimed picture is of a creature, face mask, cat ears, brown hair in a kneeling position. The creature in question is wearing a maid outfit. Curtains and bed sheets do not match any other photos.

This is where I was super interested, German Tranny has made postings, I managed to ‘break’? The fascade? It’s weird. However, they post a picture of cut skin. They explain they were molsted and their fetish is to be degraded.

The most interesting question to me at least, is this person real? The poster claims to post pictures of themselves, but careful looks at the backgrounds shows different photos are from different sources. It’s bugged me since I’ve noticed it, I’ll reply to this post with all the photos I have.
 
"If it's free, YOU are the product." Fine, I don't mind Hiroshima selling a packet of info to advertisers telling them how much I like pepe images and how fucking stupid I think Sony is right now
Yeah but he's systematically blocked anything like phoneposting, entire countries, virtually every VPN with any commercial presence, etc. to the point you almost have to use an actual real IP address connected to you somehow. It's partly to force people to buy passes but I think there are also more sinister motives.

I don't consider the site currently usable unless you want to put more effort into throwaway IP addresses than I care to for a nearly dead site that is now known only for its past reputation.

Shit glows.
