Having seen it around, I absolutely hate this screenshot. The implicit message is that 4chan was/is actually good and cool, while that hasn’t been the case for a while (if it ever was). Like yeah, it’s somewhat stupid that she thought 4chan has accounts, but the point that the site is utter trash is true.
/mu/ used to be good tho
Depends on the board. It’s just a virtual meet up of all the village idiots.
Sure, but the culture of 4chan as a whole sucks ass, even if some boards are not as bad as others.
Hell yeah
Like yeah, it’s somewhat stupid that she thought 4chan has accounts
* cough tripfags cough *
Tripcodes changed after moot sold the site, meaning whoever the original qanon was, there’s literally no way to verify any posts after the change are the same person (they almost definitely weren’t). Also, you can just use trip explorer to “hack” a tripcode, and this was always possible. Identity on 4chan has always been impossible to preserve in a meaningful way on purpose, which is why pretty much every successful 4chan-originated project moved away from the boards to communicate.
Anyway, it’s not comparable to an account, and judging someone for using a tool rather than what they’re using it for is insane. Social media are tools.
knowing 4chan it’s just as likely this is someone from 4chan trolling next thing you know they’re going to be blowing up vans or something
/an/ is still good
/a/ is good. Even the LGBTQ board is quite decent.
/b/ was never good
But gosh damn did I love it from 2003 to 2009. If not for /b/, I would absolutely not be married to the most wonderful person. Long story.
I owe it mostly to W.T. Snacks. BRING BACK SNACKS.
I ALSO hope I can see him play someday!
“have a 4chan”
yeah that was how it used to work, yepp.
So happy I deleted my 4chan account, really helped curb my desire to kill the women I date.
“have a 4chan”
Makes no sense at a to me.
People that pay for 4chan are shit tho fr
Wait people pay for 4chan?
They’re either being funny, or are very stupid. It’s hard to tell.
$20 for a year of no capchas
Does she think 4chan is the darkweb?
deep web*
That’s the same thing.
There is a distinction. Dark web is usually associated with the Tor network. Deep web is stuff you can’t access normally, like your email or someones Onlyfans.
I think she actually meant dark web tho.
wrong,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_web
The deep web, invisible web, or hidden web are parts of the World Wide Web whose contents are not indexed by standard web search-engine programs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_web
The dark web is the World Wide Web content that exists on darknets: overlay networks that use the Internet but require specific software, configurations, or authorization to access.
Dark web is a subset of the deep web.
Think of dark web as the high-security installations where the best Pokémon are found. And the deep web as all the hard-to-access parts of the world (like the Himalayas) that have been less exploited by Pokémon hunters so there’s a better chance of getting rare-but-popular ones.
The greatest thing to come from 4chan is an AI generated green text about a bottomless pit, having been trained on real 4chan green texts.
A machine learning algorithm was capable of better humor than the real people that post to that cesspool. Just remember that.
Give?
be me
bottomless pit supervisor
in charge of making sure the bottomless pit is, in fact, bottomless
occasionally have to go down there and check if the bottomless pit is still bottomless
one day i go down there and the bottomless pit is no longer bottomless
the bottom of the bottomless pit is now just a regular pit
distress.jpg
ask my boss what to do
he says “just make it bottomless again”
i say “how”
he says “i don’t know, you’re the supervisor”
rage.jpg
quit my job
become a regular pit supervisor
first day on the job, go to the new hole
its bottomless
It’s beautiful
Genuinely the best greentext I’ve seen in a long time
I don’t get it…
No idea what the comments are on about. 4chan is where “kike” and “removed” are used as prepositions. Home of /pol/, etc. You have to be clueless or want to mislead if youre implying greentexts represent 4chan.
removed
What mean
Also SCHLOP isn’t a greentext
Slur that means bundle of sticks.
You also have to be clueless or misled to think 4chan is entirely /pol/
it’s hilarious how literally none of things she is talking about are real
she speaks in myth
just another gorilla-ass opinion
2014 tumblr was absolutely w i l d i n when it came to what they believed without verifying
modern day tumblr is not much better
I’m pretty sure you only need the
^thingy before the wordThanks. Jerboa automatically put it before and after when I clicked the superscript button and I just assumed it was another one of those Reddit/Lemmy formatting differences
EDIT: turns out it is actually one of those Reddit/Lemmy formatting differences
You need it on both sides for Lemmy (at least the default interface):
^modern^ ^day^ ^tumblr^ ^is^ ^not^ ^much^ ^better^.Oh gosh darn it I just edited it to remove those. 1 sec
Edit: re-fixed

If you donate Bitcoin to 4chan you get a speed pass so you don’t have to enter the captcha for a few months at a time, that’s kind of like a membership but your posts are still marked anon so no one else would know unless using your physical device.
I have been a long observer of 4Chan, though I’ve long been banned for the silliest of reasons.
I have a hypothesis that increased 4Chan traffic, especially on /b and /pol indicates popularity of the alt-right movement and its many subsets, but also there is an ongoing war between troll-fueled triggered outrage and efforts to address topics with reason. Arguing on 4Chan is like arguing with Evangelical or Catholic apologists, but the fight goes on, regardless.
Also rare images pop up in /hr and /wp which is like caramel popcorn to me.
Good grief, what do you have to do to get banned from 4chan?
Pretty much, just annoy or offend a mod. They have carte blanche on what they take down and who they banhammer. Then the process to appeal involves extreme levels of contrition which I ceased being willing to perform.
So it’s Reddit?
It has approximately the same moderation philosophy as Reddit. I see Reddit’s problem as a matter of bias and over-policing, where the mods of 4Chan seem to have a philosophy of I have power, I can be an unapologetic asshole
Not mecessarily for breaking any actual rules.
E.g this wired article on 4chan’s moderation mentions how a user who attributed the Buffalo shooter’s radicalization to the site got banned for “complaining about 4chan.”
…I’m not sure what I expected
People think 4chan is the deep web? It’s as vanilla as fucking Reddit!
