But something like an easy to use geocities hosted on PCs would work nicely

It's even worse than that, Brote. Some content creators now have to intentionally mispronounce or omit certain words because they worry that if they'll say something like "a gun", Youtube algorithm may freak out on them.

Chans would be great but they eat storage space like nothing else

Which is both hilariously paranoid and kinda scary at the same time. Orwellian doublespeak and whatnot comes next, I guess

@A.Fulcrum i am fully aware of that as you gotta go tippy toe on egg shells to not trigger the algorithm

Chans could be probably managed, it depends on what limits are posed. How many pages per board, how many boards, limits on image/animation sizes per post.

I think they'd be really doable, would just have to have considerable limits on how many posts and how big at once they store

i heard that 8chan was working on comming back online

Overchan was the best bet we had at a decentral chan it was just way too much data

under a new provider

Yes, there was even an announcement some time ago. 8chan will be back though under new, different name.

Well, not _that_ different, but still.

thats good

I can already imagine various mainstream users seething, given that majority of them thinks that chans are just those two of a few more pages and destroying one of them should have just made all those users collectively decide they were bad people and give up - so now that the page is back, they will be all magically reactivated.

hopefully the people that used 8chan can go back to it ones the provider and all other details are solved

Funny thing is that is the media would just leave the chans alone then most likely nothing would happen

maybe a few pranks here and their but probly nothing more

Probably will take a bit. And that also depends how much of 8chan is back. It had some nice features that in the end also led to lots of clutter. Like ability to create your own board which in practice means several ghost boards where old content no one cared for or remembered was just lying around.

8chan was taken down by glow niggers.

Nytimes, and the verge did 2 fake hit pieces, and the El Paso fake event manifesto was originally on instagram.

It was still stupid. Basically the board was taken down because some random anon, who you could never even be sure was a regular, posted there before causing shit.

Meanwhile, twitter and tumblr had history of various terrorist's pages and no one bat an eyelid

And the NZ shooting was facebook.

Cloudflare still hosts some of ISIS' largest sites

Imagine what kind of shitstorm THAT would be - whole Facebook taken down cause someone went on a rampage

8chan was a great place to get info when big events happened

Casual users would go apeshit

like thats where i got a large amount of my info on the NZ shooting

The original poster of the manifesto, what was it...
El paso on the one board had a bunch of crap on the board with the manifesto.
Had some shit linked to feds in shit.

Well, generally most of 8chan was a fed honey pot.
But they get easily sought out.

i actually don't chan so maybe i'm just talking stupid shit, but wouldn't limiting hosting to text only make hosting a chan board really easy? true, the kind of nsfw that's often posted to the chans is very difficult to reliably host, nevermind hotlinking. but you don't require images/video for shitposts and clownpilling

i'm biased because the chan i do see is mostly 4chan screencaps tho

if they can simply get 8chan back in the format that it was before then thats all they need

@Sectator Pragmaticam Lex Would probably be undoable. After all chans are a category of sites called imageboards. Imageboards which are text only is like youtube without ability to post videos - kinda pointless.

You can post videos in imageboards

u walnut

in regards to the hentai meme above, does this mean no more pixelated genitals?

And I don't say you cannot. Your point?

oh I'm just bad at reading today

excursion12, yeah, I understand that if the bill or whatever it is passes there won't be mosaics necessary anymore

yeah, it's kinda silly to have an imageboard without images
