Is 4chan dead forever? Where are the refugees going?
Is 4chan dead forever? Where are the refugees going?
For those of you that haven't seen, 4chan was hacked:

A deadly blow? Will a copycat spring up? Where are the users going in the meantime? Does any of this really matter?
You're viewing a single thread.
A deadly blow?
I hope so.
Will a copycat spring up?
History says yes, but if a loving god truly exists, one won't.
Where are the users going in the meantime?
Hopefully outside.
Does any of this really matter?
Only if they bring their bullshit to the fediverse.
There is fchan which is technically fediverse, but it luckily uses a different protocol.
I think Lemmy is easier to manage getting rid of any BS. Even if they do bring BS to Lemmy, they won't last.
And it’s easy to block them and their communities
If they do, hopefully they flock to a single instance which is easily blockable
That was what I was going to say. Then, we can isolate them. Or any community that tries to corrupt Lemmy like reddit.
History says yes, but if a loving god truly exists, one won’t.
Trump is president. Clearly there is no loving god.
If a loving god ever existed they died before humanity made it to the stage.
