For anyone curious the song is called Ederlezi and it's not even Russian. It's a traditional Balkan Romani folk song and this version was recorded by a Bosnian musician named Goran Bregović. I think it might have been in Borat.

Made famous by Bijelo Dugme. Song allegedly about the Croatian Ustase genociding some Serbs, as it's customary in the area. Time to educate some Westerners.

I wouldn't have a problem with newfriends if they weren't so gay. I quit after seeing gay threads on the site involving teenage boys and older men, and fags flirting or sharing pictures of themselves. I wonder if the leaker has seen any involvement from kuz with those threads.

This is absolutely true, if we're totally honest with ourselves becoming an 'oldfag' on image boards is not an achievement it's a curse. Some people just wear the curse with pride. Before I quit 4chan I saw people like that and I just thought "wow.... what if I turn into that?".
When it comes to the sharty, I hope it continues because it is interesting to watch. Losing a bunch of oldfags and taking in a bunch of retarded newfags might liven the place up in that regard. If any of them are literal dicksuckers/trannies all the better - maybe after getting hit with enough tranny memes they'll kill themselves. All I know for sure is that any board which stays the same for too long becomes stagnant and dies a small death. Going out in a blaze of 'admin got AIDS and his network shut down' isn't a bad way to go.

But without some continuity of culture and gatekeeping, a site loses whatever it was that made it worth using in the first place. Look what a bunch of troons and redditors managed to do to 4chan. Even /pol/ is all pozzed to fuck now, and /b/ effectively died years ago.
The only remaining functional boards are ones with some relatively specific subject, like /ck/ and even that is filled with retarded goyslop threads and similar bullshit.
Too bad the content went to shit right about the time they finally got the inline client near perfect to the point you no longer had to mess around with third-party plugins just to have a functional user experience.

Someone in the MATI thread mentioned that apparently the creator of Ongezellig doesn’t want to work on it anymore because of the Sharty fanbase (so like a Pepe the Frog situation) is there any truth to this and can I be given a source?

I really hate being a gatekeeper. I'm not insulting people who want to do it and want to keep their communities fun and keep the retards out but it's just such a chore. Still better than being a jannie though.
Maybe I'm just jaded by seeing all of the old boards that I enjoyed slowly change into weird zoomer shit but I think it's inevitable and it's just better to embrace the change sometimes. It's hard to keep things the same forever.

Can't edit thanks to full retard, so inadvertent doublepost.
This is the dumb shit they're saying about Ongezellig on /co/ the most buckbroken fagged out board on 4cuck.
(dead thread)
Apparently the creator had a case of Matt Furie the creator of Pepe and ended the comic because he's angry people outside of his cucked shithole of a country also liked it.
/co/ of course blames soiteens.

I liked the pilot but I am not buying the explanation. I think Studio Massa is mad because the project was a failure, and he want to blame someone else instead of his bad decision to limit the crowdfunding to only the Dutch; I respect it but that was short sighted imho. Here is the translation of the interview where he said "my work came to the attention of foreign viewers for the first time, and hopefully for the last time.":
IDK about Dutch customs, but it is seen as bad if foreigns start to like something that only Dutch enjoy? Either way, prepare for some rambling ahead:
Quick analysis of Ongezellig's pilot and it's releases:
The first part of the pilot released around July 2018 but looks like the standalone video of the 1st part is either lost or delisted. I have no idea if Part 2 was standalone at some point or it just released together with the enhanced Part 1 .
The combo of the first and second parts has about 440k views since July 2019, it has also 10 unique translations and it is the only video of the series that have a description written in English. It also list only at the end credits the voice actresses and "Studio Massa" for everything else. It also states that Part 1 was redubbed and had aesthetic changes in some areas. This is the most international friendly video of the pilot.
Part 3 was released about 1 year and 2 months later, it also credits two more parties in the Animation: Koen Dekker and The Nerdy Birdy. It is captioned in 7 languages.
Part 4 premiered 1 year and a month after, The Nerdy Birdy is freed of work. Dominick van der Hoff and Louca Pit join to help with the animation. There is also a background and a portrait artist named Kay-Lee Boxem. It has 7 captions available.
Part 5 released about 5 months later, Annemarie Daniel ( possible troon) joins the animation team, no other changes in the production team. 6 languages available for the captions.
Is a fan of Celeste (the game) so I am inclined to say troon
Part 6 released 7 months later, Dominick van der Hoff and Louca Pit left the team but Yessie Blaas and India de Jong (whom also voices a minor character) chime in to help with the last part. The ending theme is released on spotify and apple music. It has 6 translations available.
Numbers and release dates (as of Jul 9 2023):
For when the last part released, the monthly goal of $2500 yuros was not meet so he could not quit his job. The page was paused and it is not receiving more donations nor members, but he will continue to give rewards in form of illustrations, livestreams and discord privileges for those that were already in.
Massa now says that he can pitch the animation to get funding but, for the foreseeable future, the project is on hiatus so he can focus on other things since this project took 5 years that could be used on other ideas (his words), still he is open to continue it in any other shape of form in the future. Oh, and he also wants to remaster the first 3 parts but it is not completely sure.
What I get from all of this, is that he kneecapped himself by limiting the ways he could get funding: more funding, faster releases. And now mourns that he has to pause the series because he did not wanted to create a patreon (for whatever reason) to receive international money while keeping his patreon at home open despite having the support of the international community and allowing translations for each part of the pilot. And now that he did not get enough money to continue the series he is focusing on other stuff while still working at the Broadcast company he is an employee since 2018.
So in conclusion, I call bullshit that the international audience had something to do, in fact, this pilot is the only thing on his portfolio that have any kind of translation to anything other than Dutch that I am aware of. He just do not want to accept that his project was not a complete success with his people so he could quit his job and he is just seething that other people enjoyed it despite those filthy non-Dutch people were the reason he got any popularity and instead of embracing it. And speaking of Matt Furie, I think that he also sounds like ZUN, the creator of Touhou and the way he treats the international fans, but with the difference that ZUN does not pay attention to anyone outside of Japan as he continues to do his stuff.
Ongezellig could live in the future, so for those that enjoyed the series there is still hope, if not, Studio Massa should reconsider changing it's name to Studio Broken Buck and release his "only Dutch people pls no share outside" stuff.
I have a stable job, I worked on this project as a hobby, I pioneered Dutch memes so I created my animation were my target demographic were the Dutch so I decided to use Dutch Patreon so the Dutch people could pay me with more ease Dutch money, all the money went to the helpers. I spend 5 years to finish it but I am kind of bummed it wasn't the hit I wanted. I could continue the project if I could work on it full time but my job is top priority.

On the internet, and other things, Yuri Mikhailovich Kuznetsov - June 09, 2023
Soot emailed me today, and said that Epik/Terrahost are undergoing big financial problems and may shut down soon. In the past few weeks, it seems like many websites on our side of the internet are closing shop. KolymaNET, of course, has suspended. Kiwifarms was forced onto TOR, poa.st was hacked, Vidlii was hacked, XUID was shut down, RARBG was shut down... the list continues. I feel that, beyond myself, that things at large are slipping away. If I was in better health, I would have said we can still fight to save it. Now, I no longer think so.
In addition to that, I am, and I have felt this way for several months at this point — skeptical. Skeptical of the supposed good that any of these websites, and the internet at large bring to us. I have never been under the impression that the internet was good for you, but I did, for the longest time, come up with excuses to justify both my prolonged usage of it, and the large part I played in supporting other peoples use of the internet, via hosting many addictive websites or otherwise enticing users of the internet to use my services.
However, since the start of this year and since March in specific, I have started becoming skeptical of my justifications, until I reached the point, where I was living a contradiction, simultaneously feeding millions of peoples addiction to the internet whilst knowing that it was harmful to our minds, souls, and bodies. I did not just believe this subconsciously, it was at the very forethought of my mind as I worked. Living this contradiction came to wear on my willingness to continue, and contributed to my later departure.
Directly prior to my diagnosis, I had no intentions of leaving, though the above-mentioned problems fueled my desire to, making money, and supporting my colleagues was still the greater attraction, and I continued my life, intending fully to pursue all of the goals I had laid out regarding the company. Realizing that my health was still important, I left on the 10th of May to meet doctors in Cuba concerning recent problems I had. However, my will to continue, which was already weak, shattered upon hearing the news of May 12th, and its consequences caused me to immediately reconsider my current position, my future, and, most pertinent to this message, my past.
At first, I dealt with this horrible news the only way I knew how, a method which had often disturbed people around me in years prior. I shut out all emotion, and began working. I single-mindedly focused on my job, attempting to shut out the feeling of dread and the distressing thoughts that paced in my mind. Occasionally, as I worked, heat would radiate through my body like a warning signal, as if my body was trying to inform me of what my brain refused to.
Later on, as I was re-evaluating quite literally everything in my life, I began, slowly at first, to realize the evil of the cultures around me, and the evil I had created, or, at the very least, cultivated. I did not single out my own sites, I in fact began to despise all of "our side of the internet", and, in a broader sense, the internet at large. I no longer made excuses, or justification. I no longer wanted even to give it my time and money to continue. The internet as a whole, outside a few small, specific use cases, is, undeniably, a source of negativity for those who use it. I write to explain this belief.
Aside from the obvious downsides, such as addiction, both to the internet or to pornography and or video games, there are many unspoken aspects of sustained internet usage, which even "clean" internet users like nofappers fall victim to. Primarily, the internet takes away ones ability to reason based off reality. The internet is seldom a reflection of reality. No side portrays reality accurately. Not just from the standpoint of politics, but life and society in general.
At its core, this can cause one to take on a very skewed view of reality, but the consequences of seriously using the internet go further. It alters the way you live your life, the way you experience reality, and, even the way you think. This last aspect, is the most dangerous. Indeed, the internet alters the very way your brain conducts thought.
Many of you reading this have few or no friends in real life, have few or no hobbies conducted in real life, and spend at least half a dozen hours or more on the computer every day. Many of you spend even more - sometimes 10 or 12 hours per day, using the internet.
Many people have spoken in the past about internet addiction, about frying your dopamine receptors, about shortening your attention span, etc. I will not rehash all this, I believe as far as emphasizing the negative aspects of the internet in this regard, I have made my point.
To return to where I started, I want to more specifically speak about my own sites. To my users, I address this to you, and to those who uses sites alike to them. While many people talk about the dangers of social media in the traditional sense, most of us consider ourselves somehow better than the twitter users, the facebook moms, the NPC's bickering about whatever in Youtube comment sections. These comprise the first category of internet users. You know who you are, almost everyone who will read this fits into mainly the second category. Here's a quick test, if you know what Goatse is, you are most likely in the second category.
Another way to tell whether you should be doing what you are doing online is this: How would your parents react? Now of course not all of us have parents, and some of us have crazy parents, some of us have parents who would agree, or in fact do contently and currently agree with the things we view online. The vast majority of you however, do not. The vast majority of you lie to your parents. You have normalized and justified these lies, and you have normalized the inconsistency between your life and the opinions you espouse there and the internet and the ones you espouse there. Would you let them scroll through your phone? Would you let them see the things you have wrote online? Given, everyone says something weird, everyone swears unnecessarily, and everyone makes off hand jokes they don't want others seeing, but for almost all of you, that is not the only thing they would find. The perverse, the evil, the creeps of 40 years ago are the average teenagers of today. Unimaginable evil and repugnant things can be found inside the phone and computer of almost every teenager and young adult in the modern world. You included. This is what I am speaking of and to.
To those of you, I write my personal opinion. I urge you strongly to pursue a different life, a better life. As much as TV brainwashed the generation before us, Youtube algorithms, imageboards, echo chambers and chatrooms have brainwashed you. On both sides. The internet has not done good for any of you. It is a veritable cointoss that, when given un-monitored access to the internet, a child of this generation will grow up to be one of two horrible sides of the same coin. In either case, your soul is destroyed. Your mind is destroyed, and in many cases, your body is destroyed.
To those of you, I write that you have been killed by the internet. You have probably harmed the relationships you could have had with people around you as well. Your entire belief system, what you find funny, what you find enjoyable, it has all been irrevocably altered by prolonged usage of the internet. The way you read this, the way you will react, the words you will use when you discuss it with other people, even the chemical reactions taking place inside of your body as you read this — all have been changed for the worst.
All of this, was realized by me over a short time span, as I was forced to contemplate nearly everything in my life. I spent a lot of my career, mostly indirectly, harming others through my creations. Not only the various victims of the sites, but the users themselves, and, I was also a victim of myself. I am of course not alone, there are many others in my position, they may or may not have already realized in whole or in part what I have written, but they might in the future. Many others who were like me have lulled themselves into a false reality, a make believe scenario, where the websites they created or own, the communities they cultivate or promote, are healthy, or at the very least, neutral. That they do not take away nor necessarily give any value to the users. These people however are mistaken.
I implore you to leave this way of life behind, take on a new life. I do not necessarily request you abandon everything entirely, as I have done, but become more open minded. Look at yourself honestly, seek to better not just your physical health, as many do, but seek to fix your mind, as many have not. Consider the opinions of other people, witness the world around you, seek natural beauty, seek close connections with other people, recognize that there is no excuse for internet usage in any capacity beyond what is required of you by circumstance. Seek to cause yourself discomfort in pursuit of a truly better life, where you do not harm others. Seek to rid yourself of the addictions you fed via the internet. Once you understand how the internet has changed you, and how it has altered you, you must then be able to view everything it has taught you through a skeptical lens. Sometimes, it was right, more often, it was wrong. Once you are able to do this, pursue a genuine, honest lifestyle, and truth will come to you.

I believe Kuz' take on the internet question makes sense given he's quite literally dying, and probably realizing the value of life after being terminally online for years, but personifying the internet as some evil corruption demon (which it can be these days) is quite the stab in the back from his older positions.
From what I remember about kuz' blog and statements about the kolyma network, he cares about bringing back "the old internet" before it was evil. Some part of that necessitates people stepping back from the culturally incestuous vomit-fest that is the nu-internet, but that doesn't mean abandoning it like he did, or seems to implore people to do. He seemed very prideful of his work and influence, and desired that behavior in others (although I'd argue he failed given the absolute state of soyjak.party these days).
Personally, given how many enemies kuz has, I believe that him stepping away from the internet and denouncing his past actions is likely a result of guilt about what he's done to people rather than out of any sincere conclusions about the internet being evil. If he really did believe the internet were evil, I would have expected he would have shut a place like soyjak.party down instead of stepping away from it all and leaving it in the hands of a subordinate of his. However, if my theory is right, hard proof that kuz did some heinous things would need to come out, which so far the only evidence has been allusive, testimonial, and/or poorly documented.
