8chan has been shut down. [READ STAFF POST]
- Thread starter Tahnit
- Start date
How long until trump starts whining about the first amendment while still trying to claim he's not a white nationalist.
Reminds me of the user that had serious moral thoughts on time travel
And it only took the most violence day of hate crimes in the last 98 years of American history for it to happen. Bit of a hollow victory, honestly but at least it's done.
Agreed.
I'm glad that the takedown took down 2 other hate platforms though as collateral damage indirectly. I hope they stay down
8chan was specifically called out by media outlets and public figures. If they were also putting out stories with titles like "What is 4chan, the website that spawned digital havens for domestic terrorists?" we'd probably see action taken.
They need evidence. 8chan got taken down because there are evidences related to the shootings.
Yeah, it sucks but it is what it is.
4Chan has actually split the site in two, presumably to bring in advertisers and to isolate the likely parts of the framework that would eventually be taken down.
Didn't do squat from what I've seen. Mods aren't taking down racial slurs and other bigoted shit. Still a great place for white men to get radicalized.
Must have been an auto-correct failure. I believe they meant to type "true pedophile"
4chan is just as dangerous imo. The reason is because they hide behind some sort of legitimacy. I've seen people repeatedly say how "there's only some bad parts" of that site. People go for the memes and become radicalized in the process.
User Banned (Permanent): Trolling. Previous severe infractions related to bigotry.
We finally beat the alt-right and America is saved, again! They'll definitely never get back from this, just like they never did overcome being displatformed on 4chan several years ago!
Sure, god forbid you guys actually address why we're constantly showing lenience to the 60yo who spent a thread shouting down people who show concern to teenagers in potentially abusive situations, insults members who have faced sexual abuse in the past showing concern over it, repeatedly glorifies, describes and romanticises large age-gap sex with teenagers and "beautiful young bodies" and is now upset members are cheering 8chan closing.
The member who's repeatedly made others feel uncomfortable with the abundantly transparent and repeat fawning over teenagers bodies while eye-rolling their mental health problems. Who's just been unbanned for a week for trolling a thread about a young woman emotionally detailing her mental health issues.
10k posts gets you a belter of an insurance plan. You didn't choose to address it in any of the reports over that disgusting thread, staying completely silent and then banning instantly for single-post trolls in others. I hope my 5k covers showing my extreme frustration in this response.

Yeah I already see Discord being used by very bad groups of people. They'll get their server shutdown and then re-organize to another server. Same with accounts and backup accounts etc.
Basically the game these days is keeping them on the run. There's no permanent way to shut these people down with the internet. But we can keep them on the move and looking over their shoulders.
Kiwifarms now seems to be down - I believe it was still up last night. Had only recently heard of that one and couldn't believe it was still standing when I saw it. These distilled grandchildren of /b/ are horrific, and about what you'd expect from people who loved that shithole in their teens and somehow never gained an ounce of self awareness or humanity in the decade and a half since.
Rotten to the core. Never surprised but ever saddened to be reminded people like that exist.
KF isn't anonymous though, so even if this is more than just a server blackout (did Cloudfare announce Kiwifarms "departure" as well and I missed it?) they're way more likely to return from this than the Chans.
Which still isn't an argument against trying to get rid of them though? They might be more likely to come back but if they're cut off at the root they're forced into smaller and smaller pools.
Sucked in to all the fuckwits.
They'll be inconvenienced for a few days or weeks before they started oozing and festering on another platform.

No, of course not? And I don't think I framed it as one. I'm all in favor of deplatforming these asshats, I just haven't heard anything about Kiwifarms before this post. If it's just a server outage (or "just" their host getting rid of them, which would be preferrable), they could easily migrate the whole thing, accounts and recent posts et all and the world wouldn't be better off.
So in short, all I'm saying is: Are we sure KF got nuked by their host, or are we only going by the usual Cloudfare error message?
Wikipedia, like they're discussing a mediocre movie:
I thought this was that Cloudflare had dumped shitheels, they planned to scatter to BitMitigate (protects Daily Stormer) as it was owned and protected by Epik (protects Gab) but both have now had their spine cracked by Voxility who were hosting them.
If KF's included in the OPs ban spree by Epik and Voxility, that's a-ok with me then :D Wonder if there's other shit hiding behind the "and more" part we didn't realize yet lol.
That the alt-right service didnt even own their own servers is probably the most hilarious and great thing of this mess. Great (-ish as they clearly knew and only do it due to pressure) that Voxility is doing something.
I was genuinely amazed by how successful our own migration was, actually, facing similar logistical challenges - although the original creators of ResetEra had a little space to plan a bit and a cohesive core community that could migrate as one.
I suspect it's because community came first in that migration, whereas I wonder if for these hard-right discussion areas, it's more that the forum itself - and the lack of rules imposed - is the important factor to the users, not the actual people therein.

Won't matter. Their bot auto archives everything you post, if you're on it.
