Reddit is worse in terms of defending pedophilia because the jannies will ban you outright if you say anything bad about heckin' wholesome NOMAPs, Reddit defends loli/diapers/ageplay as "kink", and they have lots of hornyposting/porn references on non-related subs and if you speak out you'll get banned for some stupid reason like "stirring the pot" at best or "sex/kink negativity/SWERF rhetoric" at worst. At least on small boards, 4chan tends to hide the coomer garbage in obvious containment threads while it's liable to pop up on the main feed on Reddit.
I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on reddit since I don't browse it but I find that really hard to believe in the current year, I know reddit used to have a lot of really fucked up subreddits years ago but it's been heavily cleaned up over the years to appeal more and more to as many people as possible, even the Fate/Stay Night subreddit stopped allowing official assets from the games because they sexualize lolis and after a (literal 3 minute) google search I can't find a single instance of loli content/a pro loli subreddit
 
The site literally used to have a lolicon board, you're a delusional retard
I would say less of a delusional retard and more of a tourist that doesn't know anything about the site, which means that nothing he says on the topic of 4chan matters. He's exactly the kind of outraged newfag that knows nothing about the site or culture and yet claims to be an expert on the subject that people make fun of all the time.

On the subject of reddit, I can buy that gooning there is hitting mainstream only solely because I know that trannies run the site. I don't know anything else about reddit because I don't visit the site, but that knowledge alone gives me benefit of the doubt to that theory.
 
This thread is like when a cow joins their own. The open discussion of 'pedophiles are the last defenders of imageboards and have always been the primary audience' mixed with gatekeeping against functional people is why imageboards can never recovery. As a format it cannot gatekeep these people out and no one else wants to be around them. It's why every new board fails and all the old ones are unusable. They will never learn, they will just keep being cancer until the last post on an imageboard ever is "pedophilia is the last bastion of free speech".

Feel free to post any funny screenshots you find on r/4chan or whatever, but don't expect anyone here to take your opinions on the site and it's userbase seriously. You've been burned, and over probably the most wholesome and innocent post that /b/ had that day to boot.
 
To be painfully honest, the only way I think 4chan could get better is if they retired the usual IP-based bans and replace it with something that’s harder to evade. We all know that some of the most prolific shitposters, even those that technically part of groups like The Sharty and various Discord servers, methods that essentially give users a completely new IP address (VPNs, proxy servers, dynamic IPs provided by moble phones being the biggest offenders).

The only problem I can see is that there really isn’t a good method for it without compromising 4chan’s ingrained stance on anonymity.

The main issue with using 4chan’s /l/ board to justify the site being overrun with porn and ecchi content is that moot had to kill it due to morons sharing actual child pornography on it, even back then the site had standards and that’s something 4chan has apparently lost over time. I also like to think similar reasons, along with the usual “drama” reasons, is why 4chan doesn’t have a dedicated furry board (/b/, /mlp/, and /trash/ don’t count).

If you want another example of 4chan curbing rampant porn posting just look at the early days of /vp/, it got so bad that moot brought in new mods and threatened to delete the board if the users didn’t cut it out.
 
Soyjak party would have been fine if not for the constant discord drama. They already have a good base for an imageboard and unironically better board culture than the current day cuck, they just need to shut that shit off and deal with their pedophile spammers better
Oh, and do something about the whole "harvesting their user's data" thing, if I want to give the feds my personal information, then the 'cuck is still the better place to do so
"Read the room" from the sharty poster who spends all day reading 8ch.moe to post every minor detail about Mark Mann's life is ironic. The current crop of imageboard posters aren't self aware enough to realize why the format is dead and leave it's corpse alone. There's a 1:1 cross over of neg ratings to sharty thread posters. That's pure coincidence I'm sure.

And today /vp/ has 20 active porn threads. Some are generals that keep respawning and are focused on underage characters. It's a huge difference in mentality.

Are the "sharty posters" in the room with us right now?

But then there are subs like r/molested or r/incest where redditors make the most disgusting pedo fanfiction. And stuff like r/teenagers users being majority grown men really makes you think.

The transexual response. When you point out the problem they say "Takes your meds" or "Is X in the room with you now?" Another piece of the 4chan shit pie.

@LinkinParkxNaruto[AMV] Aren't those boards behind containment? I thought you had to make an account and accept them to get to the weirder porn. /b/ and /r9k/ have incest generals all full of brown women supposed to me mothers and sisters. Both are sick but ones in the open and the other requires you make an account and agree to view them.
 
Does anybody have any info as to what moot is up to these days? There's no thread for him and he has no online presence that I know of. This is the most recent picture I've seen of him.

>a toast, a toast to 4chan!

Thanks.
He made plenty enough money from 4chan to never work again, and then was given a nice FAANG salary by Google for doing nothing for a few years (although he's fired now)
Probably is NEETing and chasing the tail of women who don't want him. So in a sense, the same stuff he's always done.

He got fired from Google last I heard. Now, he has enough money to never have to work again, like the other user said.
He's probably glad he got out of the whole 4chan thing while he could, I can't imagine it is very profitable for the gook.

It's probably just as, if not more, profitable for Hiroshima. He made his money before selling user data to the highest bidder and there's no reason why he wouldn't do that now. Think about how many actual frothing retards buy the 4chan Pass alone.

Sure, he makes some money off data collection and retards who buy the pass, but the site as a whole is dying. It will never actually be profitable to run 4chan, at best he can break even and add the site to his portfolio.
The real asset of 4chan is as a honeypot for the feds, but that won't last forever. I'm not sure how long the imageboard format as a whole has, either. Everybody is moving over to discord or social media.
It might not look that bad now, but I guarantee you that this isn't the breadwinner for the gook, not in the slightest. I doubt he even thinks that much about the site, considering he hasn't even made a post on there in years.
 
Bullshit, it's the lack of gatekeeping that turned 4chan into the shithole it currently is. You're just basically saying surrender to the retarded invader rapefugees.
I don't think there is a way to successfully gatekeep people out of websites where anyone can post. I remember like 10+ years ago when I was posting there was a "Fuck off redditfag" or "lurk moar" in basically every single thread and it did nothing to keep them out. What can you even do to stop it?

Bullying and harassment until they leave. Persistent barneyfag tier spam directed precisely at the bad actors, all day, everyday, until they leave. If their experience is miserable enough, they will move on eventually. If they're stupid enough to drop their personal info, use it to dox them too.
Of course, very few people have this kind of autism or that kind of time, so naturally the bad elements decided that they are part of the site, and later define what constitutes as it's culture once they weren't bullied enough. Like I said a few pages back, with the changing culture and a soulless site owner I don't think there is much that could be done either way, but it's sad that the "oldfags" stood by and let the redditors take over the site completely. I mean, we even got one itt dictating to people who browsed it for years what their culture is like ACTUALLY, since apparently we had it wrong all these years.
