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
fair point
@A.Fulcrum that's freakin dope
nothing kills a boner more than pixelated genitals
artists won't have an excuse to skip details though now.
that's fine, pixelated genitals piss me off tho
Either way, getting back to bitchutes, chans etc - I do hope for decentralized/harder to suppress websites.
it ruins otherwise perfect art
I mean, some moderation is important, but I kinda recall fondly internet of late 90s - there was a lot of shit, some of it bad and requiring booting off, but there was also a lot of awesome stuff people could post without worry.
As long as you didn't break the rules of the country and the community, you didn't have to worry that a bunch of hair-dyed, outraged whales will push for your whole website to go down.
Now, if only there'd be better alternative to paypal to also take care of how they got political and refused to process payments for some people
eh
pixellated genitals arent that big a deal
the tiddies are always exposed
It does ruin the impression even if you don't care to look at the thing in particular - big blocks of gnarled pixels in the middle of a video aren't great and I can understand why some would be annoyed.
Doesn't affect me much either way though, unless someone will push for censorship of regular animu, just like some people tried to do cause traditional gender roles are bad, as are racial stereotypes and in general, those evi, evil Japanese, they know nothing of PC culture, barbarians
seeing the pussy is far more exciting than seeing the tiddies
sometimes
not all sexy stuff is pixellated tho
Right, I see you folks now have more ambitious topic of discussion. I'll leave you to it :P
well ya you can easily find hentai that's uncensored, but when you run into one that is censored it just kills the mood
