And their "explanation" was embarrasingly bad.
I don't really mess with 4chan either
Evidently, Shareblue documents planning operations got leaked and /r/politics was a top target too.
Fun fact about reddit
Really depends on specific board you visit
Anyone can manipulate it
/b/ is a shitshow, always will be.
That's the idea with Reddit.
I once got a bag of chips to the frontpage of r/donald
By myself
But it collapses much the same way wikipedia does. A sufficiently large organized group can potentially cause signficant damage.
It's so easy
Someone brought up my karma on Reddit, but I am mostly like I don't really need to feel like society approves of what I think
Alot of inertial effects and things can give organized entities disproportionate power.
Common public is dumb af
Yeah, Karma is really a game to try and incentivize people to use the platform.
It's like levels in Discord. A skinner box of worthless rewards.
The chan boards are unique in some ways though, people act differently when they dont have a name, or any sort of reputation to worry about
Sometimes it brings out the worst
But sometimes it brings out the best
"humor is edgy" as they say.
So they take it to the extreme where it's probably a bit too far.
4chan is a lot of things
There's alot of shit to search through, but /b/ and /pol/ are the face of 4chan
/b/ is classic.
and give it a somewhat undeserved reputation
The origin of modern internet culture.
The smaller boards are really chill
8chan is mostly the exodus that happened after moot decided to be a cunt
(Moot was the guy that owned 4chan)
Changed his tune, started censoring certain boards
After gamergate if I recall
Yeah, not too long after
it was somewhat related
Moots fault for hanging out alongside the rich left
/v/ and /pol/ got hit the hardest with the censoring
calling it left or right in any way wasnt something you saw back then
Hm. I get the impression the majority of people are on Reddit now.
Which kinda scares me given how easily manipulated it is.
Reddit is way more populous then the chan boards
