The kiwifarms hate on 4chan was definitely not coming from organic users, at least on /pol/ and /v/. There's nothing about KF that warrants hate if you're not the type of degenerate autist that would be laughed at here. I can't speak for tumblr hugbox tier boards like /lgbt/ that probably hate the "cyberbullying" of lolcows. But the "organic" userbase of that board belongs on reddit or tumblr so they ain't a good representation of the majority opinion on 4chan about the farms.
What gave it away, the fact that direct linking to the site was "forbidden text" and was a bannable offense?
 
Major event is happening, largely involving your own fucking website, and you’re just too pissy and being a faggot bitch to actually do the most basic duties of an operator and manage his site properly?
moot really wanted to fuck some woman who I think worked for Reddit. At minimum, she was heavily tied into the tech industry. And she wanted him to shut discussion down. It's also thought he was getting a lot of shit from other friends in the tech industry as well, and his shutting GG discussion down probably getting him his job at Google.

It should be also noted he never scored.
 
Am I just looking back with rose tinted glasses or are the late zoomers on 4chan significantly more fucked up than the generation before? I recall back when I was on the site regularly most people had a pornography addiction, but they hated troons and generally wanted to be left alone. Shit like guro was relegated to the most degen corners of the site, and anyone I knew irl that was an anon was fairly normal, just autistic and edgy. So many of these jannies and zoomer anons are especially degenerate trannies who are into the most fucked up shit imaginable.
I saw the tranny psyop happen in real time around 2015-16. It was spammed up and down /r9k/ and traps were being shoved down anons' throats like it was a coordinated effort. The jannies did nothing about it, of course and this continued until Reiko's discord grooming scandal came to light.

The roots of that coomer brainrot remained and that's how we got to this point.
 
While we're at it, did any of you also notice a sudden increase in "aggression" on 4chan during the past year? What I mean is that if you tried to effortpost on, say, a hobby board (like /g/ or /o/) there would always be 1 or 2 people who would enter the thread and act all pissed off, saying everyone's retarded and acting like you had killed their newborn child or something. Everyone always seemed irritable/on edge compared to even just a few years back.

It wasn't just typical "lol kys fag" shit, it almost felt weirdly personal. Artificial also to an extent. Forgive me if I sound schizo, I don't know how to put the feeling into words. Maybe I'm just retarded
people learned that they could shitpost without cooldown with a 4chan pass and jannies did fuck all, so they started just being aggressive for no reason. i imagine the ones that are refreshing the catalog to look at new threads are probably said aggressive anons who post only to call OP a faggot or to shitpost. i know exactly what you mean though.

4chan has for the most part very anti pedo. Back in the day we would go to stupid lengths to expose predators and delete their system 32 and report them to feds. I know there is a lot of freaks on 4chan but just like the farms, many good people who dont like seeing innocent and vulnerable people taken advantage of.
That's not how I remember it. In '03-'04, /b/ was basically pornhub for CP. When I hear people say, "I wish 4chan could be like it was in 2005," I just assume they're a pedophile. I was an edgy middle schooler and it was too much for me to ignore.
 
why are people acting like it won't be back up by tomorrow, or at the worst case scenario by the end of the week?
The entire source for the site was leaked, and it was riddled with exploits and vulnerabilities, they are scrambling people to come patch all that out. The site's frameworks haven't been updated since Hiro acquired it, which was over 10 year ago. Not to mention all the IP leaks and email leaks, they have to reassign new emails for the entire mod/janny division.

Give it a couple of days and the site will be back online but at 50% capacity, a few essential boards, few jannies, just enough for people to get their fix. End of the week is a very generous estimate, I say the site will be fully operational next week at minimum.
 
Hey I'm from 4chan and came over here while things get rectified. Kiwi is cringe and gives me heavier incel vibes, not to mention the fact that this place seems also more smug. What the fuck are you smug are you guys so smug about? You fucking avatar losers. Anyways, fuck all of you. Maybe one day you'll get some head or your asshole licked and then you can be less miserable. Later.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.

you are a genuine midwit or a westerner if you couldn't just feel which posts were by federal agents
 
I'll miss /a/. I'll miss the autistic schizoposting on /dbs/. I'll miss shitposting about the WG jews on One Piece's pseudo-generals. I'll miss being a lazy faggot and being spoonfed all the new chapters from all the manga I follow weekly. I'll even miss the storytimes, even though they were a sign of late stage decline of the board since they only appealed to nostalgiafags like me. I'll miss discovering masterpieces like Baki and enjoying them together with my fellow /a/utists.

I'm not even a hardcore animefag, but I liked how light-hearted the board felt while at the same time being (relatively) high speed. It was entertaining, at the very least. Very good when going to the shitter.
You sound like the exact type of post-2014 cancer that ruined the board and the site at large. You are a nigger.
 
ok Armatard, but honestly this happens every time there's conflict in the world. The majority of posters on k are American and most Americans are going to support current thing or be somewhat subversive, there was a lot of anti-ukie posting as well but I guess since it didn't make you mad you didn't remember it.
Don't forget the wumaos that would spam dcs clips showing the glorious ccp navy sinking the entire US navy with their hypersonic missiles.

They can just bring it back online like always
They cannot, they have to do extensive patching on the source code of the forum software itself, get the OS to a current version along with the PHP version, and somehow maintain compatibility with the software. This assumes they even have someone that understands php and understands the huge number of exploits just sitting there staring them in the face. 4chan is going to be down for a while because the alternative is launching it with all of the exploits and getting obliterated within a few hours of launch over and over.

Give it 2 weeks tbh, but even then it will just be running a skeleton crew and only keeping main boards up
