Witness the horrors of unmoderated social media

8chan and 4chan were instrumental in creating the disease that is gamergate and the subsequent online shitheaps it produced. Including but not limited to Trump's term.

Wasn't Twitter instrumental in enabling January 6th?

To be fair, I stopped visiting 4chan after seeing a gif of a German shepherd being hit in the face with a shovel, so...

Why is there so much fearmongering around 4chan? Everyone that doesn't use it seems to think of it as an anomaly; when it is nothing but a somewhat "radical" (that too only some boards) social site. Also banning & doing something along those lines to the users of 4chan is the shittiest idea of all time.

Says the person with a paid account of the dumster fire.

Can somebody explain what I'm looking at in that post?

All I can make out is that the snake connects between the pictures.

I thought maybe that created some offensive bigger picture, but I don't see it.

It is true that when I see something from 4chan that I don't understand, I have to approach it with the well earned assumption that it is somehow racist or fascist. This snake thing... I can't just assume it's shitposting. With 4chan it could be anything.

let's play spot the 4channers in the comments!

Scary how many people in here are anti free speech. Yes, they're stupid, cancerous, lot of white supremacists, and all the scum and villany etc , but like, the point of free speech is that you're allowed to say that shit.

Make a threat? Absolutely, track IPs and investgate logs, lawful actions against unlawful acts. But to flat out ban every one you disagree with? Disgusting. And you should be ashamed of it.

Also, 80% of commenters on iFunny. That shit heap needs to be nuked.

Case closed I guess.

You know what? Everyone on 4chan and 8chan should be on a terror list. Every single incel. I couldn't give a single shit about their "freedom of speech"

[A screenshot of a messageboard thread is shown. There are 3 images in the screenshot, all of crudely drawn green snakes. The images of the snakes connect together, despite being posted in separate posts by separate users. The second image of a snake has a caption of "sssssnek" and a comment after all three snake images states "Whoa, watch out, you scared me there for a bit."]

Day 279: Lemmy advocating for full on fascism on worldwide scale. Again.
