For those of you that haven’t seen, 4chan was hacked:
boingboing.net/…/4chan-hacked-obliterated-and-unl…
A deadly blow? Will a copycat spring up? Where are the users going in the meantime? Does any of this really matter?
4chan died over a decade ago. What has been nuked there was its rotting carcass plastered with Nazi and MAGA shit.
It should never return.
Not Lemmy, eh? Are you sure? You could be great, you know. It’s all here in your head. And Lemmy can help you on your way to greatness, there’s no doubt about that. No?
I think you’re misunderstanding octopus_ink’s comment. Are you thinking octopus_ink is a 4chan refugee? I think they’re just a Lemmy user hoping we don’t get flooded with 4chan assholes.
I hope not.
But I hope it does süring up somwhere again.
I need my WHFB talk and my Warhammer pdfs.
it won’t be. too confusing for everyday people lol
I know it’s a tiny minority of their culture over there but I will miss seeing screenshots of their wholesome/poignant greentexts. I hope some of those robots move on and turn out ok
Hopefully not here
Welcome to lemmy yoh filthy animals lol
Lemmy maybe
Aren’t there similar websites like 8chan that serve the same purpose? I may be out of the loop but won’t they migrate there?
8ch×n is worse.
I was the person who wrote all the posts, now looking for freelance work.
we’re all moving to Truth Social.
Bye!
there exists tons of image boards already, if one dies people move into others.
Why would it go away completely? Why wouldn’t they plug the hack and continue on as they were before? Getting hacked doesn’t typically kill a service unless there was data deleted and no recovery option available.
The current owner is not and has not ever been interested in maintaining it. He bought it to squeeze it of its worth and now that it’s suddenly going to cost a lot of money to bring back he probably just won’t.
That does leave the possibility of selling it to someone who does want to restore it.
One possible reason I’ve read is that the people moderating it have had their identities leaked, so imagine being the person responsible for banning 4chan users and now also they know who you are, seems like a very unappealing thing to volunteer for.
They would need to rewrite it again, the release source code showed about of security flaws. If they’re just re upped it again it would be taken down by someone the sake day.
I think we need a place to contain 4chan users lest the rest of the internet be potentially exposed to one.
Upstairs
Time for a fediverse alternative for 4chan! ~/s~
They should call it fedchan.
Where are the refugees going?
lemmy.4chan.xyz
The 8 Chan guys will complete the takeover. The Nazis will stay.
The people that want to continue participating in imageboard culture will migrate to one of the alternatives/older ones like 2channel or krautchan.
I wonder if 7chan is still kicking. Back in my chan days, which were like 15 years ago now, yikes, I considered myself to be better than the average 4chan pleb because I used seven instead
Twitter, of course. Elon’s already made it quite comfortable for them over there.
