I am probably not the only one who has noticed how calm and ‘non-toxic’ (as much as I hate this word) 4chan has been lately! Where did the poison go? If we say /pol/ is the containment board, and /pol/ is much. munch tamer than it was in say 2015, what about ‘nice’ boards that just rarely had a shitlord show up and ruin things (like a certain someone who kept insulting everyone on /int/ 12 years ago, yes it’s been 12 years).

I’m just sad that I cannot post on 4chan because they have banned my VPN’s IP. There, here’s my answer.

PS: rules say ‘anything 4chan’ and I hope this post is not against the rules, I am new to this fora echosystem (I come directly from Usenet) and I cannot find like a large rule statement to see what is allowed and not. I would not be upset if you removed this post in case it’s against the rules.

    Trolls see far greater reach on Twitter and Facebook. You can post about white replacement on /pol/ but the thread will get a few dozen replies at most. If you post it on Twitter it’ll be retweeted by Elon Musk himself.

      Yeah I guess so. I know this sounds cringe btw but Natalie Wynn used to shitpost her videos on /pol/ in ~2017 and she did so until a lot of people did a face-heel turn. I dislike her immensely.
