4chan has become unbearable due to a ridiculous rule that, coupled with some of the worst choices in moderation staff, has turned even the slower, thematic boards into some of the least free-speech-friendly places on the internet. And when I’m saying “free speech” I don’t mean slurs or being mean to people in general, I mean expessing all kinds of opinions that local moderator might not like, most importantly discussing their unjustified actions regarding deleted posts and blocked users. Citing the rule that made this happen:

  1. Complaining about 4chan (its policies, moderation, etc) on the imageboards may result in post deletion and a ban.

    So, I don’t know if you’re aware – and your client may work differently, if you’re not using a browser – but in the Lemmy Web UI, you can expand images that are directly posted by clicking on them.

    The main difference is images on imageboards are posted not only as topic or for sharing content, but WITH EVERY MESSAGE in discussions just for fun and for the sake of it. So a person might start posting every message in a thread with a new image of his anime waifu, even though the discussion might be about linux kernel or whatever. This format of conversation is already a culture in itself, but there’s more to imageboards. You just have to try both to feel the difference in vibe.

    Thanks! I’ve been digging myself and somehow this is first time I see this particular catalogue! I wonder what’s wrong with my google-fu.
