Plagued 4chan - the Internet hate machine

[MarMar049]

My thing is, what could possibly be worse than what they've already got going? The site dies every few weeks because the feds need to step in after some /r9k/ schizo kills himself of /pol/ threatens a senator. The worst has already happened, your website is being monitored by the police to pick up criminals and conspirators. It's a baseless fear.

Probably worried about stalkers and swatters.
4chan already has a lot of shit going on with the occasional murder/suicide, threats against public figures, CSAM on /b/ and /tv/, etc etc.

They have actually banned people publicly in the past for requesting an e-celeb board.

They're probably worried that it will turn into kiwifarms 2.0

ngl the boardname is hilarious

Total Janny Death.

If this were actual 4chan I might care, but considering it's gookmoot 4chan run by troons, who cares? Fuck them. The only thing I care about is the potential precedent.

Assuming by the "precedent" you're only talking about the literal legal precedent: Despite the change of management and decline in post rate and quality, 4chan is still the same website it always has been in terms of looks and perception. It stands as a kind of bulwark against a societal-wide movement to remove any form of space for speech that is not hyper-moderated and "approved" by the new religion. It's a relatively very old website with relatively very little change in appearance, making it a firmly-rooted internet institution. If an institution like 4chan can be toppled, I think that would serve as a kind of dam-break moment for any lesser-known or less entrenched sites. People could no longer point to the "big bad" 4chan still being online as a benchmark for acceptable moderation to take the heat off themselves. Providers all up and down the internet stack would suddenly find themselves at the new "fringe" of the internet by hosting any of the smaller independent forums and image boards, and be much more likely to fold to deplatforming demands.
Rinse and repeat until it's practically impossible to host a user-content site on web that doesn't have a gigantic TOS written and signed off by a San-Francisco committee.

That dam broke a year or two ago when the beloved Keffals managed to get the Kiwi Farms permanently taken offline.

Most websites won't be in the crosshairs, simply because they're small.

I agree. The logical conclusion is that the WWW will finally fucking die, to be replaced by something that can't be censored by a bunch of faggots and their Jewish masters.

how are you posting here then, right now?

ah yes, because people get just got their shit shut down will just stay offline, they will never congregate to another site which thus will become "big" and "a problem".

speech that is not hyper-moderated and "approved" by the new religion.

It literally is though. It is currently hyper-moderated by literal troons.

I wonder, do these guys still hate Reddit? I was never on 4chan back when it was considered the internet's big bad hate machine, but it seems like the exact same brand of shithole filled with horny, occasionally mentally ill, losers arguing with eachother and spamming every other day while the mods only ban stuff they personally don't like, same as anywhere else, except you're allowed to call people fags on the site.

Don't you just love when 4chan randomly accuses you of posting CP and then bans you from everything forever? I'm starting to think that Rule 1 is just a catch-all they use on every phone poster.

It's because you connected from an IP that was already banned for it in the past. Whenever you connect to mobile data, your provider gives you a random IP from a pool of IPs they assigned to the region, and phoneposters often use it as a pool of "disposable" IPs to shitpost without risking a ban on their home IP.

Just turn data on and off so you have a new IP, dude. If it accuses you of ban evasion, clear your cookies.

Ew, someone in my building is into some sick shit.

Yes, that rivalry is pretty much genetically embedded at this point.

It's kind of funny: websites like ebaum's world and reddit used to be hated because they siphoned off memes and content from 4chan, before driving them into the ground. reddit, especially, was mocked relentlessly for clinging to old memes like rage comics, but now, 4chan's OC is hardly anything but frogs, wojaks, and gigachads - the same memeslop you can find en masse on reddit and twitter. The rivalry is mostly about the usual culture war garbage at this point, like so many other things.

but it seems like the exact same brand of shithole filled with horny, occasionally mentally ill, losers arguing with eachother and spamming every other day while the mods only ban stuff they personally don't like, same as anywhere else, except you're allowed to call people fags on the site.

Pretty much. I suspect that there's also a sizeable contingent of angry teenagers who just use 4chan as their emotional punching bag.

4chan in 2024 is almost entirely self-hating redditors and ESLs.
Can't even talk about chinese cartoons without some third world console warrior having a pissing match over sales numbers.

Depends where you are. If you slip into a "general" (i.e. some Discord server's 4chan branch) you'll see the Rebbitors drop their mask and admit to how active they are there.

Reminder, these chucklefucks knowingly didn't give James McCaffrey a sticky on /v/. In case you don't remember, he was the voice actor of Max Payne, one of /v/'s and gaming's most iconic performances.
Threads were made but none of them were stickied, however some random nigger who kills himself gets one immediately.
There is a reason that many users migrated to 8chan years ago, and the site's foundations were rotting away even years before that.
Now? It's mostly trannies and redditors pretending they're some sort of hardcore ultra oldfags, mix in little kids who want to get the "old web experience" and schizos who have nowhere else to go as well as some incredibly stupid /pol/ tards and porn addicts and you have 4chan in 2024.
The community that made it hasn't been active for over a decade. There is nothing to bring back, the entire site is a travesty with little in way of actual content anymore.
Even spamming the site isn't fun anymore, too many hoops to go thru and the users are so mind numbingly fragile and stupid that there is little payoff.

Man, things have changed a lot. I still remember that Terry Pratchett's death lead to stickied mourning threads that lasted days on /tg/ and fucking /b/. /lit/ were too busy huffing Ayn Rand's farts, and barely bothered to acknowledge the death of an author because he wrote genre fiction.

back before most all cell tower ips were banned there were a few times I found out that there's people in my neighborhood up to some real shit
used to be a simple "sorry about the neighbors, this is a cell tower" was enough to get unbanned for just about anything

On a similar note, there's the "I Know What You Download" tool. A while ago there was apparently someone near me who was really into gay Black porn.
