    4chan is what the internet would look like if everything had the bare minimum of moderation. Actually a very interesting case study about the human psyche, and I’ve had many a interesting conversation on there, especially early internet days.

    Is it a shithole? Overall, yes. But the right board at the right time is truly early internet ethos.

      If the entire internet was as unmoderated as 4chan, it would be a lot less extreme than 4chan is.

      But since there are only very few places like that, all the weirdos and nazis congregate there, cause that’s where they don’t get banned for using the n-word.
