If you ever wanted to know what the largest group of losers on the #internet is, look no further than #4chan.

A site and userbase that all pridefully stand on the soapbox that their site is the end-all-be-all in free speech and lack of #censorship.
buuuuut.

several boards have baked-in trigger words, some of them over a decade old that will ban or deny your threads or comments by default
no #VPN use or you'll be banned for trying(if their detection can tell)
you have to wait 300 seconds if the system doesn't have a cookie for you to post at thread, and 200 to post a comment, and sometimes it resets for no reason.
unless you pay hard, earned currency for it in the name of cash or #crypto
and give an #email address that likely connects to your real identity

A group of thousands of #incels that all can't wait to tell you how much your site sucks when they're all being exploited at face-value like cattle. Add to injury, they even had an #Activitypub implementation of their own site, ran by the community, and it still crumbled into pieces.

If I ever get sick of Mastodon, Lemmy and Pixelfed, there's one thing I can do that I can't do on 4chan,

at least I can get all of my money back.

all $0 of it.
