Thanks. 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
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.
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.”
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.
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
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.
4chan is extreme in both ways. They did get a terrorist camp bombed and Katawa shoujo is legit fantastic. But then it also had QAnon trolling (which moved to 8chan soon) and /pol/.
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.
Secure trips use a secret key and cannot be bruteforced. They’re not broken, it just seems that the secret key was changed, meaning all previous secure trips would be different, breaking continuity with old secure trips, but they still serve the same function now.
Snacks is still doing music! A couple episodes of Midnight Snacks were life-changing for teenage me.
Heavily agree with peak 4chan time. People were crass and mean and the racist language was there still, but it was all performative; a way to be edgy somewhere as a person who isn’t a piece of shit in real life. I met some awesome people from there who are genuinely good people.
/mu/ was so good back then (10-15 years ago). I went to /b/ as a curious teenager but quickly lost interest even then. But /mu/ introduced me to so many great artists and albums that I can’t ever fully agree 4chan was never good. Even back on reddit there was a ton of shit I didn’t like but I tightly curated my browsing there too.
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.
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.
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 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.
