It was a good ride...
Damn, they had a few semi-active boards not available on 4chan I lurked around in.
See you space cowboy.
Good, now if only kiwi and dramatica were next.

Kiwifarms is also dead right now, they are under DDOS attack.
The only chans that will be spared are the small, insular, or exclusionary/private. Needs to be a solution to this.

In other words, only the ones that are good.
> Needs to be a solution to this.
Not allowing behavior that is going to be a magnet for normie shitstirrers who wouldn't give a shit about chans otherwise (like announcing that you are going to shoot up a mosque or a walmart) seems like it would be effective.
Freezed peach is nice but is it really the uncompromisable heart of what chans are? If you want to talk about the brown people you're gonna kill later today in a supportive environment of like-minded individuals, join the US army.
It'll be back.

Ye

Well we disagree there then. In my opinion chans are and have always been about, in order of priority:
People planning shit that will obviously make normies sit up and take notice are violating #1 and also seem to have lost sight of the crucial import of #3.
>Freezed peach is nice but is it really the uncompromisable heart of what chans are?
Any chan without free speech is no better than kikebook. Only difference is that chans are held responsible for its users while kikebook isn't. The race war is going to happen whether or not it's announced on chans though, and eventuallly people will be announcing shit on every platform near daily, mark my words. Even so, I guarantee that more people have announced their shootings on normie social medias than on imageboards.
The elitist superstructure of 4-ch is finally on the move
anonib was better, someone should bring back anonib

perhaps take a break from the interwebz freind.
Free speech was never as important as quality discussion. It's pretty easy for anyone to go and make a site that promotes free speech. It's much harder to maintain quality discussion in the long term, especially if you tie your hands behind your back by refusing on principle to banhammer people who detract from the site as a whole.
Strict moderation is required for quality discussion. The issue is finding the balance between good moderation that allows people to express substantive thoughts freely while preventing overmoderation.
come here 3chan.co/b/
good riddance

ED is also dead. The only loss there is the forums going offline. The wiki hasn't been funny since 2007
>>19
Soon ends what I've been calling, the "Piss Bitch" part of the internet. Good riddance.
8ch was a fed run honeypot
>>22
At least /pol/ was, who knows how much radicalization was actually done by the FBI to fit in with the few real users.
The amount of violence caused in our world that was catalyzed on 8chan in recent years... as ridiculous as it sounds, it's real. I don't know if I trust the Watkins family to actually remove illegal content on 8kun.
>>26
Can you point to any evidence to support your assertion.
8ch may be back but its never gonna go back to being a hub for user-created boards, it'll just be a place for qanon conspiracy, even moreso than 8chan ever was. It may as well be called qchan. Other boards may exist but they'll be more or less ignored by the wider userbase, people flocking to 8kun after hearing about how it got taken down by cloudflare.
Watkins says he thinks 8kun will be more popular than 8chan but I can't see that actually happening unless he actually means by the stormfront community.
Its a shame really, a website where people can form imageboard communities under whatever subject has a potential to be great but I don't think 8kun will do any better than 8chan was doing when they were shut down.
>>25
It would be hilarious if that disclaimer is really going to be under every single post.
8ch managed to be worse than 4chan with a fourth of the userbase.
>>28
I'm a member of /tech/ and I don't spend my time on /pol/. I want to shit post about Linux and headphones.
>>32
The two aren't mutually exclusive. 8ch sucked in part because of its influence. It shittied up imageboard culture with moralfags who think moderation is censorship and drastically reduced the speed of most smaller ibs in the same way reddit has forums.
>Trusting watkins to begin with
That's where you went wrong
