Jannies on 4chan have been weirder than usual lately. /qa/ got shut down in November and some boards seem to be really cracking down on anything even remotely off-topic (aka fun). Are there any 4chan jannies here who would like to explain the sudden change on the site and what is happening behind the scenes?

Here are a few things I've noticed:

/tg/ seems to have declared a ban on all internet memes, such as Pepe, Apu or Baalbuddy, even when they are relevant to what is being discussed (ie Wizard Pepe on a thread about Wizards).

Sometimes threads on /tv/ about the reality show "I Am Jazz" get deleted but sometimes they are left up. When they are left up they tend to be the most popular threads on the board.

/co/ seems to delete threads about webcomics (normal webcomics, not stuff like Stonetoss or Assigned Male) for no reason.

Is there some sort of weird civil war going on between Funposter Jannies and Anti-Fun Jannies?

Gook Moot really doesn't give a shit about the site beyond selling the user data. When he took over a lot of old mods got shitcanned as far as I remember, iirc one of the current /tv/ mods is some wannabe actor who leverages his role as a mod to shill, and a lot of trannies got to be mods because they'll do it for free. I know moot had a fallout with some over the cuckshit. The newer mods tend to people who want to either control discourse on the internet, be internet famous, or shills.

There's a fair bit of discord drama. There's at least 5 or 6 Discords dedicated to spamming various boards with porn, memes, or reporting posts. Some of them are weird hapas, mulattos, and DNC shills. It's a really low form of trolling and I got invited to one of them. They're basically zoomers who get angry the minute you disagree and talk over you. They aren't really trolls and more of faggots who will pay to get into a discord, spam memes, get banned, and mass report to get it banned.

/qa/ is weird thing because it's just tranny jannies basically mocking the userbase, it's locked and most of the post are from them. It was never good, but it's basically jannies using what little power to get revenge for all the /sp/ memes.

Agreed, the moderation has been out of control lately and even more inconsistent than usual. I got a three day global for a Howard Stern thread on /tv/ last week. "Off-topic", apparently. This was a couple weeks after another three day global for a thread asking why Victoria Justice's career never took off. Again, "off-topic actor discussion". Actually appealed that one in IRC and got an apology for it.
