playing devils advocate here but /pol/ lost, it's completely unusable. When the goverment and the jannies team up they can completely kill a board if they want. And of course any political discussion is immediately called out as /pol/ posting on other boards since you can't have /pol/ threads on /pol/ itself.
True, but how many of the people who got sick of 4chan/ lost 8chan over the years moved onto X and essentially colonized it? There are hugely popular accounts who repeat talking points that were common place on /pol/ 5-10 years ago. Shit there are some hugely popular accounts that just repost infographics and greentext from /pol/. Look at instagram comments, youtube comments, etc. They may have "won" /pol/, but what /pol/ fostered has spread out to the wider Internet.
 
It's probably because on most smartphones getting an adblocker is actually rather difficult for the average turd worlder. There are some that support adblocking extensions (Firefox and its forks) or have it built in (Vanadium, Bromite) but there's just some mental brick wall for them when it comes to, say, installing an APK file or even just looking at extensions.
Brave Private high anonymous VPN public are on shit lists of cloud flare. It's really that even more so when about:config works on mobile FF alternatively, don't log into any Google account then download brave .apk.
 
Forum sure has been lively this past day.

Not saying it will happen, but if 4chan got rid of the jannies and goes back online by Easter, even I would yell Christ is King, hallellujah.
 
As someone with an autistic ax to grind with /vr/, can someone offer some redpills on mdbsld, and why they were also a janny for /gif/, /hc/, s, and fucking /soc/?

Porn boards probably need more help in moderation.
are they seriously going to pretend like nothing happened? they'll just put it back up with the same jannies as before? :shit-eating:
Why not? The issue didn't have anything to do with the janitors as far as the website going down. It was purely the administrators. As far as they're concerned there isn't a problem with the janitorial staff.

Colonising X is like colonising Brasil. You can't do any more damage than it already does on its own.
