Indeed. The /biz/ board has been one of my most frequented webpages since it launched about a decade ago after forking from crypto threads on /g/. It has been depressing witnessing the decline from consistently high quality discussion, to being flooded by /pol/ shit and Discord/Telegram scammers after the 2020-2021 crypto boom. I've been holding out hope that stocks and crypto crashing would drive the idiots away and lead to a revival of intelligent conversation, but it never happened. I'm somewhat thankful this hack happened because it's leading me to seriously reevaluate where I spend my time, and prompted me to start branching out.
Wasn't /biz/ the catalyst for all of the email verification/timer shit that got added over the past few months? I dipped out of there once the precious metal threads started slowing down.

Das rite yt boi.
 
Do we have to worry about 4chan refugees?
4chan rapefugee here. You don’t have to worry. Most of 4chan is larping nazi faggots who talk about free speech but then just call you a tranny if you disagree with any retarded maga cult programming. Rest assured knowing that none of them are here and if they are then they’re stupid enough to self dox using their twitter handle.

FROOT: You're late. Hiro "Nishimura," the last man standing. Don't look at the floor, Hiro. Look at me. I want you to talk to that bald fuck who calls himself my janny's janny. Tell him I'm gonna let him keep on soying, subsistence level. He'll be able to pay his soyjak posters, anyway.

HIRO: Let me say, for him, thank you.

FROOT: You're gonna hear some high-end shit. I hope you can understand it, and I hope you keep it between this board and 'sharty because if you don't, I promise you they're gonna find thrembo different pieces of malware in your image attachments.

HIRO: I inherited /qa/. I don't think you got reason to talk to me this way. I always liked you.

FROOT: Well, we'll assume you do now. You tell my janny he gets to keep 5%. 5% of his gems, the BLACKED posting, same with the coal, the soyposters union, it's all his, okay?
FROOT: Now Hiro, listen, this is very important. He also gets to keep his boards. As far as the feds are concerned, I got Cobson in jail awaiting trial. Even if they hear different, it creates confusion. Got it? As far as the rest of everything that you and him own, it's now mine THOUGH.

I barely saw anyone even mention this place, maybe once or twice in over a decade. I was gonna suck it up and just reopen my old Reddit account when I saw a post that reminded me about this place.
I only saw people talk about KF when someone was trying to push eceleb stuff. I get it though, everything's got it's place.

It was a failed attempt at curbing the infestation of Indians shilling their pump and dump memecoins. Had no impact at all but the tranny jannies clearly must've thought it was good because they rolled it out to the entire site afterwards.
 
It's funny how many refugees wound up here. I know there's not many places left you can say nigger, but seeing people bitch about this site on 4chan, I thought a bunch of anons would avoid it. Maybe a lot of that was astroturfed by the 8chan fags that hate Jersh. Same with the refugees at the sharty
Josh used to be a different person from what I remember, he legitimately liked Rekieta/Ralph and other retarded normalfags that anyone with half a brain could tell were shit people. Even before they nuked their eceleb careers. I appreciate him fighting troons to keep his site up. the farms is objectively a good source of knowledge and bullying about people that deserve it. But talking about retards 24/7 is boring for me. I want to talk about things I enjoy...and shitpost about it.

I'll try my hardest not to be a niggerfaggot.
There were some anons who treated KF like a taboo place and acted afraid and retarded about it, but most didn't really care
 
Despite 4chan getting shittier and shittier as time goes on (15 minute timer, removing the IP counter, poor moderation), it will be a shame to lose the Internet's premier anonymous image board. The micro-cultures on the various boards and threads have been some of my favorite times on the internet. Slower alt-chans don't allow for the lightning fast generation of culture that spews out of 4chan. All of the issues that the jannies present actively get in the way of this culture creation, whether through direct suppression or lack of moderation of those few special retards that are seemingly so common on anonymous image boards.

To me, the anonymity of 4chan has always been the most attractive part of it over the years. I can say my retarded opinions without having to consider how my post will be impacted by my past postings. I have no reputation to uphold, nothing ties a post to my identity, no account, no name, nothing. Others have no reason to judge my posts on anything but the content itself. There are no upboats or positive reaction stickers I am fishing for. Some may fish for attention in form of (You)s, but someone replying in earnest with a "Kill yourself faggot" will not have the same effect as a simple "kek". Recognition or derision on post merit alone.

The good threads are getting rarer and rarer, completely overwhelmed by various things, whether it's legitimate bot posters, blackpillers, trannies, ritualposters, or the ungodly amount of porn, even on blue boards. Jannies and mods exacerbate the issue by suppressing the micro-cultures, banning people for seemingly no reason, or worse, banning them for a retarded reason, like saying nigger, being on-topic, or having distaste for troons. You have to have a certain kind of autism to be willing to moderate a china-men basket weaving forum (for free). Because so many of those autists have fell into the troon pipeline, those who have obtained this small amount of power go against the general culture of the site, and attempt to force change of that culture.

Still, the OC flows. Real Anons posting real replies creating real culture. If 4chan stays down for good, I don't see something like it taking its place.
Null highlighting the issues he had with hosting other imageboards and the evidence of intentional spam of CSAM makes me believe that a similar website could not be created with any sort of success at scale, and if the guy who is willing to be harassed, DDOS'd, and de-banked to host this forum says it was "was one of the most painful experiences of my life", who the fuck would be retarded enough to try?
I love the Farms, but I'll always crave that sweet, sweet anonymity. :punished: (Not that 4chan hasn't been constantly compromising that anonymity with the Passes and the 15 minute e-mail sign in timer, among other things.)
