"The internet went to shit because I can't find child porn on the first page of my imageboards anymore."
But this is disingenuous isnt it?
The mods of 4chan completely lost the plot, the copyright isnt even updated on the site, the backend isnt updated, theyve been banning anyone they dont like and running complete amok on the site.
One can joke over muh cp, but i doubt (and I do - but i can be wrong, i reckon) that most posters were pizza enjoyers. Was the fun not in drive-by-night anonymous posting ideas that either stand to scrutiny or dont, or finding troves of fellow obscure hobby enjoyers and talking just the hobby with them? Or getting the news before it was news from people all over the world doing the same, or working together on some giant fun campaign to map stars in a webcam to find a stupid flag?

A lot of smarter people than me have already summed up many great points about the mark 4chan left on the internet, and the internet in general pre 2010 (tho i will say 8chan was a blast in 2014) and its wild to me to see it hosed even though I knew in my bones it was going to happen in my lifetime.
Maybe Im misinterpreting you here, but doesnt feel accurate in the least to jive over cp access, it feels the same on reddit when people there of all places joke the general intelligence of 4chan was low, which is factually not true, even with the swarm of retard posters, jeets, bots, and eglin vax takers.
 
I read it and that isnt shown anywhere, i think you are just a schizo
I think you're a retard who can't predict second-order effects and doesn't understand what it means when there is only one janny on several of the fastest-moving boards and all the jannies site-wide are intentionally lowering board quality and banning oldfags in every political discussion

>pizza enjoyers
you have to go back
 
Further, as others have also said, 4chan didnt just go to shit in a vacuum, the rest of the internet has also. Zoomies have zero attention span and cant and could never handle being given social media access at such a young age.
Even with good parenting the absurd monetization of pretty much all on the internet lead to content farms going after anything and everything like starving hyenas after gazelles.

I was mostly joking, but a lot of the users from the "golden age" of 4chan and ED were pedophiles and it was seen as either a joke or encouraged behavior, that was just the free speech culture. 4chan had an open lolicon board for years. I do think we traded a devil for another though with the shift of the internet towards it being more sanitized and gay.

Or, alternatively, the information is incomplete/wrong.
I love schizoposting but I'm not going to instantly chalk it up as a government psyop that the site is mismanaged by a jap retard who went hands off.

you weren't there

we stayed up until 4am photoshopping boromir driving his mom's minivan into Mordor

CP was so incredibly rare that when an individual image was posted it became an event that was joked about for literal years after its posting.

if you read my post you can notice i did not mention account sharing as nobody gives a shit about that. the feds dont ban specific oldfags to curb the very important political discussion happening on 4chan

@Honkhonk
These here cunts are who I'm very interested to learn about. Despite hating the numerous Tranny and BBC threads, it's the complete and total annihilation of my beloved YLYL threads that infuriated me the most.
 
>pizza enjoyers
you have to go back
>says child porn in another way
>le bad

nice effort you bring to the table mate, keep going. Doesnt address anything i said either. Complete and total cancer post.
>joined apr 16, 2025
we could say the same to you, at least im typing something here.

The joking and defending mods bc they fight to remove child porn makes a disingenuous argument fo the current state of the internet. mods have killed and are killing every site to corral posters into limited hangouts they can better control like twatter. look at what happend to the misc et al

Please explain to me how this is even a wrong statement
 
Nick Monroe has been scanning the IRC logs for "Gamergate" related things. Came across proof that at least some 4chan Jannies agreed that Zoe Quinn fucked all those guys, but banned gamergate stuff anyways.

Sooo where's anon hanging out while pool's closed (due to AIDS)?
I use both sites simultaneously (KF+chan) so I'm just going to spend more time here tbh.

that's not how security works

when you find compromised accounts, account sharing, and suspicious activity on moderator accounts you do not say "oh well there's no evidence of malfeasance here" you say "oh my greatest enemies have compromised everything"

the retard is you
