I used to think there could be no redemption for anyone unironically into mlp, the lowest of the low.
But over the years I realized that they really aren't that bad as far as internet fandoms go.
They were always mildly insufferable until they got their own containment board, but what’s eternally funny is the venn diagram overlap between a pastel pony cartoon fandom and unironic goose-stepping national socialism. There's a surreal poetry to seeing “Heil Celestia” typed without irony.
 
eventually over this very reason, the jannys and mods become the shit that collapses the empire.

thinking critically, who is at fault here?
The remedy is to set them right as to facts, dox and pacify them. What signify a few jannies lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of jannies and global volunteers. It is its natural manure. Our imageboards have been too much impressed by the insurrection of trannies

isnt this the inhereit problem?

so, imagine you have enough free time, either by being a NEET by force or by accident, to janny an image board all day. to janny anything actually, be it reddit, be it tumblr, or a forum on french drain systems.
to do so, in most cases you wont have many IRL friends, you wont have a career, you wont have much going for you in general. I think this is safe to assume. you wont have much money outside of some kind of disability or something, or unemployment, which isnt much at all.
so now, with all of that, being the janny becomes personal. this is what you have.

and sadly, the folks who would understand nuance, spirit vs letter of the law, et al are too busy to compete and take this role. its this person now. and many others like them.

eventually over this very reason, the jannys and mods become the shit that collapses the empire.

thinking critically, who is at fault here?
Hiroyuki Nishimura. Before him Moot was at fault.
Moot was always a poor judge of character, I'm sure many legacy jannies and mods were just like Rapeape and the other tranny retards too.
If he or Hiro had hired someone competent with all the supposed extra revenue (oh no I have to pay like 3 grand a month out of my 10K+ revenue? Oh the humanity!) to tard wrangle, recruit, weed out powertripping fuckwits and you know also had someone to function as IT maybe we wouldn't be in this situation.
 
Truly they were a 4 Channel

When I learned that Payton Gendron used /k/, I knew glowies were watching and that it was time to leave.

Sad to hear they were taken over my NAFOtrannies.
Taken over? It legit became an Eglin Air Force Base group chat, and that's not hyperbole. Look, 4chan was ALWAYS a known glowop honeypot, but there was always the tacit understanding, 'You know what the story is; don't be one of the muppets that tries to take the honey and understand that the landlord occasionally swings by for a gander.' That was an acceptable trade-off; it was just accepted among the regulars, and if you didn't know that, then you're the type of person to delete system32, so you probably deserve what happens to you. Since the Ukraine/Russia conflict and Oct 7th, the place was red-hot, though, and that's not hyperbole either.

I know there's a lot of people here who love their tech and are poring over the technical side of this happening, and I'm certainly not saying those people are wrong. All I'd say is I'm very sceptical of all this because when it's your primary haunt online, you develop a kind of sensitivity to the subtleties of the place. This didn't happen out of the blue or in a vacuum; things were getting very weird there well before this.
 
Since we're talking schizos I remember this sperg from /tv/ that thought people who made fun of modern shit movies were all Russian shills. He spent the early days of the special military operation shitting up /k/(how can you shit up the gayest and most retarded board I don't know) calling anyone he disagreed with a Russian shill and posting photos of his ipad screen.
There is also Armatard. The Schizo shilling for retarded Russian super weapons pree SMO. At one point the Su-57 crashed and he had such a mental spergout.
Got some screenies for you.

funny story, i was told by a farmer how to get rid of rats in a barn: "you dont go after the rats, theres too many, theyre too superstitious, and theyre too careful. just catch one, and hang his ass high up in the rafters. itll spook the rest away and theyll not bother that barn for generations."

but- do we even need this? at this point, couldnt we be using/leveraging llms for janny/mod duties?

I think if we get an answer to this we can get closer to solving this issue plaguing the net. course, the next is keeping culture alive.
 
Anyone else stop going on /ck/ after ja/ck/'s 4th (5th?) stroke?
Seeing his dead arm is really depressing.
/ck/'s threads were either ja/ck/ posting, jeet street "food" webms and shitty recipes.
Oh,
I've been banned multiple times from /vr/ for various reasons including racism kek.
I guess one of the jannies got mad at me calling them chinkhelds. I like to think I popularized calling them amberNIG and 'nig posting.
Miyoo FLOPPED posting was kicking off too.
Discussing emulation handhelds was fun as fuck with a ton of shitflinging and autism.
You can't call someone a stupid faggot for buying an rg nano on plebbit.
Its just full of the most retarded normalfags that don't know how to download a fucking ROM posting their stupid pics.

I got so many bans in one general in particular for responding to obvious trolls with words like troon, tranny, agp. That exceptionally gendered janny followed me across boards for months. At the time I thought I must be going schizo paranoid. It's honestly a relief to see that our perpections of the jannies and their stalking been right all along.

That too. If they would just run janny recruitment often, offer rewards for say the amount of actual enforcement rendered, and also doxxed the fuck out of them to weed out obvious problem people things would be better.

I stopped going to /ck/ because they gave you board wide bans for literally nothing.

yes, specifically this, which cant be understated:
"because when it's your primary haunt online, you develop a kind of sensitivity to the subtleties of the place"

well said.
