No.151158
>>15107822Chan was created around June 18th, 2018 as a Highschool project, then on the 27th, it was made public and a question was asked on 4chan: "What boards should be added, and what rules should they have?" This changed the fate of the site forever.
https://web.archive.org/web/20190604235448/https://22chan.org/timel/screenshot.png The idea was simple, a bunch of 4channers were tired of the cancer killing 4chan, so rules were added to help it avoid the same fate. After 8chan went down, 22chan ended up absorbing a lot of users from there too. I can probably elaborate more if you want.

No.151166
>>151154In theory, nesting makes comment chains in a very long thread easier to follow.
In practice, it segregates conversation early, so only replies to the most popular chains get enough eyeballs to get more replies.
IMO, the core of the problem is that platforms even *want* to scale discussion past the point where users can read the whole thread.

Then it was a source of social media engagement that let everyone use a pseudonym. Now it's because it's a permanent host for lots of niche questions that have been answered by actual human beings and affirms by community members.

Mods and admins follow around certain users (the ones that put in effort) and do everything they can to silence them. Even the archives are purged of certain posts. Oh and don't forget the board freezing.
Despite all of that the so-called 'schizos' have free reign for years and years and years. The same topics posted on repeat everyday with no original posts in them. Known bots are allowed to run free. It's obvious what's going on.

>>152022If you seriously can't handle a link to a pdf file and explanation for where the bot farms are coming from perhaps you should keep your opinion to yourself. It isn't "political" to link to a document that proves the point I was trying to make. How do you expect anyone to talk about "what happened to the board quality" when you can't even mention the Government? Are we supposed to pretend it isn't happening? Would you have preferred if I mentioned any of the hundred of private organizations that employee people for this purpose? Which *surprise* have the Government as their main client?
Again; you've been trained to have this knee jerk reaction. The same people that ruined discussion on the internet trained you not to point out that they're ruining the internet. It's almost like the psychological operation operation was a massive success! Why are you even mentioning the sekrit board in the most active thread on this entire website in the first place?
>>152029Read it again. It clearly explains what the program is about. It's vague on purpose. Since the day-to-day operations of what's happening are classified. It is just one of many operations happening all over the world. I am not kidding when I tell you there are buildings staffed 24/7 with people that have no other job to monitor discussion and send in bots to shit the discussion up. Even on websites that aren't honeypots they run directly (which 4chan is).
The document I linked even explains why every popular youtuber has a "PR guy" and why they all parrot the same content and release it at the same time. I am trying to prove to you just how much things are controlled and why the internet suddenly changed in the mid-2000s. Please note the date of that document. Read it three times if you need to before it sinks in.
This used to be well known information. We used to talk about it all of the time. We used to name multiple groups that were known to be doing it (and fight back against it). But at some point around the early-mid 2010s they shut down discussion about it. Which again was my point: You can't even have a damn discussion about it without a bunch of people calling you a loon now and the moderator having a knee jerk reaction. Like I'm suddenly going to start going off on tangents like the bots posting on 4/pol/ and making jokes about muh Hitler and Da J00s. Which again is the point of all of this: Instead of reading the contents of my posts and having a friendly discussion people are trained now to tune out and blame all the problems on the few people that actually want to get to the heart of the issue. Instead of having a frank discussion about actual problems you want 500+ more posts about "the jannys!" and "the schizos!" and the same BS we've all read 100 times since yesterday. At some point it became impossible to have open and friendly dialog. Just because we might not agree doesn't mean I'm trying to convert you to some cause or 'shit the place up'.
The knee jerking moderators that are young and don't remember the before times are by far the worse effect of all of this. They think they're doing the place a service by shutting down so-called 'political discussion'. But then they'll turn right around and rant about their own 'politics'. Then when challenged they start issuing bans for 'politics'.
Which is exactly the same thing the 4chan mods have been doing to certain people for years. Tons of threads on a board like /g/ or /a/ where entire groups of people are slandered. But if one person from those groups throws a shot back or even makes a joke they're suddenly 'racists' or 'off-topic' or any of the other catch-all rules that are only ever used to used down discussion. There is a clear agenda and it's mainly being used to DIVIDE PEOPLE.
Seriously, if you can't see that 75%+ of 'discussion' happening on large websites like 4chan and social media are bot farms I don't know what anyone can do to convince you of the truth. They claim they make money on advertising and driving engagement. But they're FAKING the engagement. They don't want real people posting at all these days. They just want you endlessly scrolling and maybe clicking the like button.
If you don't believe me here is a simple test for you. Take that pdf file and post it on the 'political' board or /g/ where it's certainly 100% on-topic. See how long it takes for you to get a 3-day vacation. It won't take long. There are many many bits of information like the pdf file (and the name of the program listed in it) that are not 'on-topic' anywhere on the entire internet. Furthermore, no matter where you post them someone is always instantly alerted that they've been posted and the flood of bots soon follow. Since they've got a google alerts type system running that greps through the entire web looking for keywords, files, and people's names.
Of course. If one were to explain this and lay it out in a way that is easy to understand he's always banned, shouted over, told to take it elsewhere or flooded out. Along with being called all sorts of mean names. Even though it's all easy to prove. A few have even gotten bullets to the head for attempting to expose it just in the last few years.

The mods have done this to themselves. It's like wiping out a patients bowels of any good bacteria and wondering why they're suddenly infected with salmonella. You wiped out the niche and the schizos flooded in, you created the cultureless wasteland ripe for colonization.
The whole problem with this is the mods don't really feel the sting for how bad they've made 4chan. That's what the disposable labor of the janitors is for. They suffer attrition, the mods sit back and make pronouncements and handle ban requests.

However, they are
very much effective at their reward function...Which of course isn't to give you things you want to see, but to maximize ad views/engagement.
Example: why are you recommended political garbage even though you never clicked on it? Because they have long realized the small percentage that do become very good, maybe the best, engagement metric/ad view cattle. (this is what humans call "pipelines") It's worth trying out showing you that stuff repeatedly even if there's only 0.1% chance you'll click on it, because eventually something might trigger you enough to click. You can generalize this to everything else...
why is the music they give you generic? Because in fact they don't care about tailoring your specific taste actually, despite the "personalization algorithm" moniker, what they care about is ads. So they give you something that is a "safe bet" and you won't click away from, rather than more personalized recommendations. Because all they are doing is hacking the engagement metric.
The two examples I gave are NOT contradictory by the way - they calculate where to take risks (example: political brain damage makes you life long ad cattle), where to not take risks (example: music, most people just wanna put something on. You have to put something they actively shut off, not something they will truly enjoy), in a nightmarish cold sterile walled garden.

I never understood why the metaposters or the frogjakschizos or all the other rabble laid claim to /qa] when they never had anything to begin with.
The only ones to develop a distinct identity and culture were the 2D/Random posters made up of various boards on the site like /jp/, [s4s], /a/, /g/, and more.
The rest was useless meta discussion on a board the mods never read, truthfully not even metaphorically. Even 8chan /operate/ was better at getting your ideas read by and that was an abyss of wasted energy.
That or it was /r9k/ or /soc/ blogposts or crap.
Take for example the soyteens.
Whereas /qa] was focused on the board and community they dedicated themselves to attacking a supposed bogeyman that was ruining the board.
Ironically while some may claim they were influenced by /int*/ I think they had much more in common with hotwheels and 8chan and their paranoia and obsession. On the other hand /qa] was willing to regularly wipe the board with spam and managed to maintain cohesion despite everything.
Ultimately I feel that the conflict was the modern 4chan culture attempting to attack the sudden appearance of an existential threat. Ideas and zeigeists at some point take a life of their own and people are turned into unwitting carriers and propagators instead of generators.
If the /qa] was allowed to live in peace as the board at the center crossroads its influence and ethos could spread across the site potentially leading to users on other boards banding together and taking matters into their own hands. Which would lead to a revolution or an exodus 2.0 and things would never be the same.
Or something along the lines of that. It was too much trouble from too many for too small a board for too long.

>>152486The anonymity is one thing, but just the rather simple layout itself is what I like about it. And everyone is more or less put on the same level, even outside of the anonymity aspect, where each thread is a just a single string of posts. I actually don't mind discord, and that's still better than the bigger social media sites like Facebook for any kind of discussion. At least in the way I use it, which is probably ignoring a lot of its features. Twitter has useful functions as well but there's no way in hell I'd used it for any kind of serious discussion and it's crazy to me that it and Facebook have become the center of discussion in politics/on the news about how people interact on them.

Takeaways:
The 4chan hack had a SIGNIFICANT affect on the overall state of 4chan. 4chan has been consistently losing users each year since 2022 to the tune of total sitewide PPD decreasing by ~100K each year since 2022. Post-hack 4chan has decreased by 153K PPD, down to 561878 PPD, which if long-term trends of user loss continue, would have naturally occurred by approximately 2030.

>>152486>>152488I personally feel like as if imageboards, as a format, already died in the early 2010s at the latest. I think younger people nowadays don't really care about the format on its own, but rather about the "culture" of infamous adopters like 4chan, which has to be most people's first experience with an imageboard in the first place. If someone first goes there now, because they're intrigued by 4chan's premise, I assume they must already feel perfectly content with constant shitflinging and drama, meaning there would be no reason to even think about looking for any alternatives. That is unless their favorite board gets nuked either directly or indirectly and they want to regroup elsewhere.
In short: I think the influx of people who are entirely new to imageboards would immediately stop if 4chan were to die and the only people still hanging around on altchans will be former 4channers.

The only suspicious thing is that they have such a way to inject javascript through websockets. They could just run any javascript they want by putting it on their website (like integrity.wasm itself), but that they have such a direrced method makes me think it's to run special javascript payloads for certain known users. Possibly even zeroday exploits. Imagine the top soyjak (who is admin and literally looks like the ugliest drawings on their site) getting offended by a user who posted a loli vampire, and he goes all LE PEDO MENACE MUST DESTROY, and runs a zeroday (which he purchased on the blackmarket for thousands of dollars) specifically on that user's browser to "own" him.

I think it's safe to assume that there aren't going to be any spikes from people suddenly finding out 4chan is back. If anything, the lack of gradual increase over the course of a week tells me that the difference Pre- and Post-hack reflects the attachment level users had to 4chan, meaning that the remainder who have yet to return are unlikely to return at all and have likely found alternative outlets for discussion that they might have used 4chan for.

>>153908>Have you given any thought to how you'd handle the sort of Markov chain bot spam lambdaplusjs has been getting?if you set up a piece of software that uses ip addresses as the way of user identification on a network where ip addresses are meaningless then you obviously need to bring on an application layer method of user identification
for instance, kohlchan allows tor/i2p posting. if you crack an argon2d hash, you get a session. then you can post freely. if you misbehave your session is revoked and you'll have to crack another hash. since argon2d is designed to be painfully slow for cracking, it essentially works as a PoW solution that guarantees the user's anonymity while making it a hassle for troublemakers
of course it won't deter the most egregious spammers but ip bans won't either

I figured since it has been a bit over a month, we should see what has happened to 4chan since he downtime. It seems like overall, 4chan has recovered some pre-hack traffic bu it is still missing around 5000 posts/day of activity and it has plateaued. Looking around at some of the boards, it seems like most has recovered and in fact, some boards have grown. However, if you look at the top four losers from
>>152500, although there has been some recovery, /vg/, /pol/, /vt/ and /a/ have all still declined and have not gotten back the users from pre-hack. Only when you get to /a/ do you see traffic is back to normal largely. Not sure how long this situation will last and if it is because summer is starting but I will keep an eye out for when autumn hits.

tl;dr: the vitamin/collagen gummies can taste better than actual gummies.

>>154522Update: Lambdaplusjs re-opened and has been trying various changes to fight the spam, most of which have had limited success. In particular, harsher cooldowns and captchas led to the spammer posting nearly 24/7 while few other people were able or willing (depending on whether cooldowns or captchas were the limiting factor) to post. At the moment, the site is using an improved version of the old /pending/ system. When posts come at an unusually high rate, the posts are collapsed to a stub in threads and don't show up at all in the index, until a moderator reviews them. There has also been an increase in moderator activity, presumably because the mods don't want to see the site forced into going account-only.
About 90% of the posts on Aoichan are now being made by one race-obsessed poster known to others as "/pol/ schizo". Although he makes most of his posts on /poo/, he is not contained there, and fills up the other boards with posts that are not always political but feature similar levels of stupidity and delusion.
