I visit 4chan several times a day, though I use Lemmy more.

Edit: I now only visit it a few times a month.

Like once a year or something.

Too much manipulation by racists, nazis, and russia. All they have to do is tell 4chan that doing x/y/z will offend people, and suddenly they are a willing personal army.

Back when stormfront said how easy it was to funnel chanfolk into their ideology, I honestly thought 4chan would break stormfront. I didn't expect such enthusiasm for an ideology that would outlaw 4chan if it got enough power.

Yeah I was a big channer many years ago I still don't understand how the fuck fascism won there. The only reason I go there now is to snoop on fascists since I know how to click around there. The only thing I can say is that it must be that most channers really were idiot loser NEETs with nothing to live for, instead of people pretending to be idiot loser NEETs with nothing to live for.

Pretend to be something long enough, and you slowly become that thing.

I pretend to be an elven paladin regularly. I'm not going to become an elven paladin.

The alt right playbook is a great resource to understand how they won there if you’re curious.
