It is likely that there will never be a site like 4chan again.
Yeaaahhh. I never really had the desire to go there. It always felt like a… vulgar place? And not like the kind of vulgar you hide from your parents. The kind of vulgar that burns itself into your memory against your will.
Yes. A lot of internet users, including many fediverse users still use its language and moved from there or were still there. Sadly it might be that people from it move onto more extreme sites, or already were there.
It’s a social problem that will only get worse with capitalism going harder and more fascism rising, we need to solve it at the social level, not just with technology (like blocking), we need to educate, provide and yes teach harshly sometimes that kind of behaviour isn’t acceptable.
