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

[–] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 20 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Depends on the board. It's just a virtual meet up of all the village idiots.

[–] randomname01@feddit.nl 24 points 2 years ago

Sure, but the culture of 4chan as a whole sucks ass, even if some boards are not as bad as others.

[–] homicidalrobot@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

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.

/a/ is good. Even the LGBTQ board is quite decent.

[–] flerp@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

/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.

[–] Azuth@lemmy.today 36 points 2 years ago

So happy I deleted my 4chan account, really helped curb my desire to kill the women I date.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

“have a 4chan”

Makes no sense at a to me.

[–] kebabslob@lemmy.blahaj.zone 44 points 2 years ago (1 children)

People that pay for 4chan are shit tho fr

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 48 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wait people pay for 4chan?

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They're either being funny, or are very stupid. It's hard to tell.

[–] DrCatface@lemmy.ml 23 points 2 years ago

$20 for a year of no capchas

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

It's beautiful

[–] boobs_@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Genuinely the best greentext I've seen in a long time

[–] Mako_Bunny@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

I don't get it...

[–] Ranger@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Does she think 4chan is the darkweb?

[–] magmaus3@szmer.info 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] Ranger@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)
[–] melooone@feddit.de 10 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] magmaus3@szmer.info 9 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] poplargrove@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

removed

What mean

Also SCHLOP isn't a greentext

[–] poplargrove@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Slur that means bundle of sticks.

[–] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

You also have to be clueless or misled to think 4chan is entirely /pol/

[–] unreasonabro@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (2 children)

it's hilarious how literally none of things she is talking about are real

she speaks in myth

just another gorilla-ass opinion

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

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^

[–] vox@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I'm pretty sure you only need the ^ thingy before the word

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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

[–] PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You need it on both sides for Lemmy (at least the default interface): ^modern^ ^day^ ^tumblr^ ^is^ ^not^ ^much^ ^better^.

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Oh gosh darn it I just edited it to remove those. 1 sec

Edit: re-fixed

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.

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Good grief, what do you have to do to get banned from 4chan?

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] poplargrove@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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."

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago

...I'm not sure what I expected

[–] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

People think 4chan is the deep web? It's as vanilla as fucking Reddit!
