@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 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/.

@xianc78 Josh didn't, he just swore off imageboards and preferred traditional message boards.

@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)

@xianc78 Well there was a lolcow culture imageboard on 8chan (/cow/) but it's important to know, they had a strong disdain for Josh and his site for multiple reasons. In fact they would oftentimes talk about "foxdick farms" a lot.

As for the 8chan feud, part of it is mentioned in this post too from the prospective of how /cow/ saw it:
https://www.onionfarms.com/threads/joshua-conner-null-moon-vs-8chan.2840/

Not mentioned is that for years afterwards, /cow/ would continue to mock Josh and his forum. Joshes behavior on his website would lead to multiple schisms from the main website, including the one I linked (which was run by a literal boomer obsessed with Chris Chan and presumably had registrations as a half joke since Josh wouldn't quit bringing it up). You'll also notice a theme, in this whole "lolcow" sphere all the websites hate each other.

@PhenomX6 @xianc78

You’ll also notice a theme, in this whole “lolcow” sphere all the websites hate each other.

It is widely joked about that people in the lolcow sphere are there because lolcow’s make them look better by comparison. I think there is some truth to that. The petty conflicts between lolcow and drama sites resembles lolcow behavior very well.

@PhenomX6 @xianc78 It's a running joke/theme on all my ban-evasion accounts.
@Burn @xianc78 There's also a common fediverse joke about how Graf is FtM. It's not true but people make that joke a lot because it's an attack on his masculinity.

So I'm assuming it's a joke on his moderation style because nobody likes 4chan jannies.

@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.

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

@xianc78 @PhenomX6 Isn't he the guy that banned people for making fun of Nintendo when they were selling fucking cardboard boxes for people to play with? Really, that's the best that humanity has left? We are so fucked!

@TerminalAutism @PhenomX6 Yeah, unfortunately. But he stuck with his principles unlike Hotwheels, Jim, or anyone else. He was even the one to come up with 8chan.moe (the closest to the original 8chan, imo) after being fed up with the 8kun rebrand.

It's been a while since I've been on 8chan though. I do know that he planned on moving on from being a BO. So, I don't know if he's still a BO or not.

@xianc78 @PhenomX6 I know about the Hotwheels thing. Jim, on the other hand, was always kind of a shady character, but he really got fucked when the media and Trump (let's not forget that he cheered that on along with more gun control) framed and attacked 8chan. It basically ended up being a totally lost investment. And I didn't know that Nintendo Man was the one that made the .moe website.
@PhenomX6 @xianc78 4chan is coded like dogshit to this day this freak should be hanged

@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.

@Noided @PhenomX6 @xianc78 iirc every board has specific code which is why you can do some things on one board but not in the other
i also remember being told each board is essentially a *folder*
