It’s likely that there will never be a site like 4chan again. But everything now—from X and YouTube to global politics—seems to carry its toxic legacy.

    I vaguely remember reading that some dude created 8chan because he thought 4chan was too heavily moderated or smth, which considering the little I saw while perusing 4chan ages ago, makes me wonder the depths to which 8chan can go.

    Also it’s kind of funny but fully expected that Kiwifarms would attract the most extreme among the extreme considering it’s literally just the “harass and dox queer people” website.

      You’d be surprised how uptight people can be about certain things, even while being extremely liberal with others.

      Was 8chan created by the little disabled guy who moved to The Philippines?

      Funny that he created a haven for the Nazis who would throw his ass in an oven in a heartbeat.
