    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

        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.

      /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!
