@Soy_Magnus @PhenomX6 @s8n @Burn I don't care about his real info. I don't believe in doxing, canceling, or any of that stuff. If I find out someone's real name (which I have multiple times before), I keep it to myself. It's something that I don't want to be done to me, so I would never to it to anyone else, even to the people I despise.

And AFAIK, 4chan requires that all janitors keep it a secret, meaning you are not allowed to disclosed the fact that you are a janitor whether under a real name or an online handle.

Even though I've been here longer than Poast, I'm not too familiar with it's backstory. It was always some instance that popped up out of nowhere and gained a following from the dissident right types. The Wiki claims that he was a wannabe e-celeb on Twitter before starting his own instance, but I never used Twitter so I can't verify that. Poast seemed to got popular after Wyatt brought it up, so maybe there is a connection there.

@Soy_Magnus @PhenomX6 @Burn That's not Wikipedia. That's the Fediverse Wiki which we are already talking about.

@PhenomX6 @Burn Yeah it's most likely fake. I don't recall Graf ever disclosing his real name or face either. Gleason and Josh are the only major instance admins I know who have ever disclosed their real identities.

@Noided @PhenomX6 4chan is basically slightly edgier Discord at this point. It's nothing but pepes, wojaks, e-celeb drama and it's uses fucking Google Analytics and CloudFlare. It's even deader than 8chan, despite having a much higher user count.

@Burn @PhenomX6 Poast is not an imageboard. If graf used to run one then I don't know about it.

@PhenomX6 His stance on loli pissed a lot of people off and apparently he isn't a good programmer (but I can't verify that; Infinity Next is the only project I know that he made himself). And most 8chan users despise KiwiFarms and lolcow culture.

That's also one think I liked about 8chan (at least on the /v/ board) was that they had a disdain for wojaks, pepes, lolcow drama, and culture war ecelebs. Those things were way too prevalent on the non-normie side of the Internet.

(I wish I had a screenshot of that post of someone claiming that they made most of the wojak variants because someone commissioned them all)

@PhenomX6 It seems like everyone who has ever worked in the imageboard community has become a traitor. The only one I can think of who didn't become a traitor is ironically Mark from 8chan/v/.

@grey @scalar It's a shame it all fell apart tbh.

Sure, there is the webring, some /trash/ threads that ended up getting posters from the furry side of 8/v/- but it's not quite the same.

@GD5426 @scalar yeah, i was there for it all, as well as Mark's creepy site that half of /v/ fled to when loli was banned (why would you willingly go to a site where that fat jew was moderating?), and the webring etc. RIP, 8chan/v/ was so comfy for a couple of years.

@PhenomX6 I'm kind of mixed about this whole situation. I get that a lot of us don't want an Eternal September on here, but I wish normies stopped relying on big tech because it's gotten to the point where you can't even contact people/businesses/groups via email anymore.

@PhenomX6 @vriska @ne @Burn These people honestly need a social media detox more than anything. They're the ones constantly obsessing over $CURRENT_EVENT

@vriska @ne

Why wouldn't they just use discord and create their echo chambers over there, instead of wasting time over here blocking instances all day?

@PhenomX6 @gretathunberg Maybe, this is a whitelist only instance. I forgot that Mastodon has that feature.

@PhenomX6 @gretathunberg I've checked and you're right. They're not on there. But Jesus Christ, there are fucking commies and voluntary human extinctionists shitting on her for not being extreme enough.

@gretathunberg Just realize that they are using you so they can create a NWO. Accept that and you will become a stronger person.
