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.
To be fair, I stopped visiting 4chan after seeing a gif of a German shepherd being hit in the face with a shovel, so…
Didn’t need to hear that. Fuck whoever did that.
Yeah… Now who is going to take care of the German sheep??
/s abusing animals is cruel and horrible
…Apparently the AFD party?
Seriously though, fuck whoever did that with sand and gravel lube.
unless is tick
Yeah, it was super disturbing.
i spent too much time on 4chan growing up; it’s the most in depth and fascinating and insane glimpse into the human psyche we have available. you see someone post the worst evils imaginable then people replying to that post with better and more cutting humor than anything aired on TV
is worse than mainstream social media
why is sexualize so many people and have racial slur in vocabulary
Just be grateful you weren’t there in the early days like I was.
Scrolling /b/ was a Russian roulette of shock porn, gore, snuff and CP. How I managed to see what I did back in the day and turn out as “normal” as I have, I have no idea.
On the plus side, I remember being around for that guy fucking the human skull he smuggled from the catacombs 🤷🏼♂️
Yeah. I was on around that time too. I have no idea why I spent so much time there but I’m honestly surprised I turned out okay. Not even a little desensitized… I don’t think.
Link?
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.”]
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.
People are dumbass normies who fear anyone slightly different than the mould. You don’t have facebook and instagram? Fucking weird. You don’t know the latest influencer trend? Outcast. You think capitalism is evil and the normalcy is harmful to society? Terrorist.
You think capitalism is evil and the normalcy is harmful to society? Terrorist.
Except that this is an accepted mainstream opinion now
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.
the point of free speech is that you’re allowed to say that shit.
No, it isn’t
11 days later but
“Nu uh” wow you sure showed me
You’re standing up for hateful assholes so great job
Day 279: Lemmy advocating for full on fascism on worldwide scale. Again.
Wtf are you talking about?
They probably meant authoritarianism or something like that
TIL fascism and authoritarianism mean “to judge a shitty thing as shitty”
Friend…
Everyone should be on a terror list
I couldn’t give a single shit about their “freedom of speech”
They might be talking about this part…
Yeah find me a single response where anyone is agreeing with that sentiment.
“Lemmy is advocating for full on fascism!!!” When I think OP actually was advocating in favor of FrEe SpEeCh in reality
Maybe they saw this top comment (atm) and went off based on that. I hope they’d clarify what they meant though (Shardikprime, I mean)
Nothing about that comment is fascist, unless fascism means “factual”
