Not the type of hacktivism we need but the one we deserve.
The hackers who took 4chan down come from an imageboard known as soyjak.party or “the sharty”. They are unironically, in terms of politics, more far right, and in terms of culture, far worse than 4chan from what I’ve heard and seen from the website.
Yeah - the real freaks left because moot dated like Brianna Wu or something stupid and weird like that. 8chan was the place for a bit.
4chan is owned by an anime figma company at the moment - i think Nendroid?
damn it’s even in the original 140p
120x160, actually, but effectively close enough.
(e: also it’s a static image; no need to indicate whether it’s interlaced or progressive, because again, it’s a static image. And before you get pendantic: yes I’m aware that PNGs can be interlaced or progressive—but this is a JPEG—and those terms mean something completely different when referring to static images, compared to video.)
It’s also not a progressive JPEG either.
pendantic

Is that the average 4chaner?
Above average.
What’s the point? 4chan seems like such a low value target.
A bunch of chuds got angry that they were banned because they went brigading against LGBTQ+ folk.
This was the end result
By my understanding, 4chan left themselves vulnerable which, given the circles they foster, means they were going to be compromised. No fear of reprisal or consequence for it either. Not like when attacking a major corporation or government.
i’m fairly certain there are more than likely a LOT of politicians on there with very questionable posting records who would probably be on a sex offender registry if it got out.
If they’re Republican it won’t matter.
For the LULZ obviously.
For revenge
The Elon thing is possible, and there’s a screenshot in the Reddit thread that’s kinda convincing, but I’m still not bought in.
Tinfoil hat brain is wondering if there’s something in there someone’s supposed to find but 😂 🤷🏻
Start linking up 4chan IDs to real rich people like Musk or republican officials and watch trump start calling for the death penalty for the hacker.
It’s that incel elon musk starting all those facebook porn threads on /b/.
I think you guys have a weird idea of what 4chan is.

Allegedly Elon’s account.
Did 4chan had usernames and so? Wasn’t it’s deal that ir was anonymous?
Some of the boards use a system called tripcodes, which are essentially a username and password in one that are used when writing individual posts. It allows people to prove that they’re the same person across multiple posts, without anything as identifying as a user profile attached.
I always tough that they were cookie-generated, like you wnter the cookie assign a code for you that eventually go off. Pretty lame them pretending to not have user names while doing it.
Pretty lame them pretending to not have user names while doing it.
doesn’t this essentially make it an opt-in system to user names?
Tripcodes are not automatically applied. Default posting was anonymous, but a user could optionally post with a tripcode name.
Some boards like /pol/ introduced post IDs where a randomly generated code would follow your anonymous name within a thread, so others could see which comments within a thread were the same person. That system wasn’t site wide though, and it wasn’t a persistent account.
Is this the end of 4 Chan?
If so, it’s a fitting way for them to die.
4chan died a long time ago.
When do you consider it died? 2015 when Poole sold it?
I wonder about this sometimes.
Poole knew he had a contentious base of users. I remember in 2013 or 2014, 4chan users posted photographic evidence his gf was cheating on him, and I think it broke him. I dont blame him for selling the site, but 18 months later… I wonder if Moot knew he was holding back the end of the world.
I wonder if Poole has done any interesting interviews on the intersection of 4chan and the modern fascist propaganda machine it bred.
I have this dream that one day I’ll like, sit next to him on an airplane and have a chance to ask him.
Around then for me. Hiroyuki allowed /pol/ to happen when moot tried it and ditched it quickly. Too many people started thinking their farts didn’t stink. I went there for anime discussions when every other popular site was a hugbox.
yet the rotting carcass is still around stinking
Who is this 4chan guy?
No, the people who come there are retarded. They will still be retarded in a week or a month from now.
That Reddit thread is a very strange experience for someone not of their culture
Lemmy and 4chan do have one thing in common
Hating reddit.
Also a shady image to the point some people who have only heard of it think it‘s some deep web voodoo. They have that in common somehow.
We have voodoo? Since when
We take turns taking care of it. You’ll get your turn eventually.
Of course, they hate Reddit because they can’t use hate speech there
Reddit allows racism or sexism just fine without slurs or with slurs depending on the subreddit.
You see it mostly on the more political and gamer/incel type communities there.
there are literally subreddits with slurs in the name
Ah yes “hydrohomies” had to change after they got too popular.
Just remember that the vast majority of those users are in their mid-late 30s or even early 40s. Zoomers and even younger millennials never gave a shit about 4chan.
Maybe they didn’t care to the same degree but unfortunately incel culture was fostered in several areas, and a lot of them are younger than mid 30s.
Oh incels are a massive problem. But younger millenials and genz and the like got radicalized by reddit and twitter and the like, not 4chan. And then they just went straight to 8chan if they left their festering grounds at all.
its like… getting a whiff of something I haven’t felt in a long time.
Pools closed
Question: what is the significance of /qa/, why was the board banned in the first place, and why did the hackers bring it back?
Is q-anon Elon Musk? What? I’m just asking questions.
You should check out the HBO documentary on Qanon. It’s fantastic. Essentially, no. However, I don’t doubt for a second that Elon didn’t try to co-opt it at some point.
What happened to that shit? I hate how something like that can emerge, take hold, push people into conspiracies and the right, literally destroy families, then go away and nobody cares
furthermore, it’s reinterpreted as a false flag or something that never really happened - there is never accountability
ContraPoints did an excellent video on conspiracy theories recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teqkK0RLNkI
He would certainly take credit for it.
That would be interesting. I wonder if anyone’s done stylometry on those posts
someone hacked into the sewer and stole all the turds
10000 line file with no comments is honestly relatable as someone who took a job and had to wade through code like that
My nightmare source was only a few lines less, and it actually was commented. But in French. Label names were also dereived from French. The original author was dead, and Google translate was not yet a thing.
I’ve seen code where all the comments were simply URL references to tickets on a now deleted Trello board. Great, real helpful thanks.

They were hacked by Soyjak https://www.soyjak.st/soy/thread/10615723.html#10615802 / https://archive.ph/fxB6N
Is it me or does Soyjak use Windows?
the mysterious hacker known as
4chansoyjack.Damn, I rarely looked at these types of website, but wtf is that. I feel like every post is dumb and worthless. Just spam.
Is that a person?
The hacker known as 4chan hacked himself? 😮
Who is this anonymous and why does he keep talking to himself?
Come over to Marblecake and I’ll explain.
Turns out the hacker known as 4chan barely knows how his own code.
Ah, the mysterious hacker known as 4chan.
It hit itself in confusion!
