Advertisement and capitalism are killing the whole Internet

This was the beginning of the end. Up until January 1, 1995 it was illegal to use the Internet for commercial uses.

Why I'm bringing this up? Because of what happened to 4chan today, and how everything is getting ruined by capitalism.

The only reason the leftist mod (I've talked to him a few times, I'm pretty sure the guy is an anarchist if you need to know) was fired (he's been a mod since 2005) by RapeApe (aka the manager, aka the gutless fucking hypocrite who participated with moot in the famous defacing of Holla Forums less than two years ago based entirely on personal feelings, and completely changed his tune now under Hiroyuki because the only reason Holla Forums is protected and treated lightly is due to all the traffic they generate (Holla Forums is the most active board on all of 4chan, and most of them come from Reddit and don't use adblockers)) was to keep up appearances and make a show (you seriously think someone would've gotten fired over a custom warning years ago? every other board has had countless incidences of custom ban messages far worse than what those retards on Holla Forums received, yet there has never been a massive outcry over it and no mods had ever been fired over them) and because moot isn't around anymore (4chan is a business now that Hiroyuki the dataminer is in charge, not a website for niche interests and fun).

It sucks because that warning was handed to someone who explicitly asked what was wrong with the RWSS threads on /qa/ and this mod felt like using the warn system to answer his question instead of posting with a cap or tripcode, but Holla Forums like the whiny babies they are had to blow this out of proportion, and think they "won" when RWSS are going to keep getting deleted and banned on sight, and according to the sticky moderation is going to be a lot harsher on crap like the shitty memes Holla Forums loves so much.

I know this is barely on-topic but I really wanted to talk to you guys about it, as I'm sure most of you used to visit 4chan, or still visit it.

The dream is dead, imageboards are eventually going to go the way of Usenet forums.
But I know I don't have anywhere else to go. I imagine it's the same for some of you.

Are the times changing because they must, or because they are being forced? I can't answer that. All I know is that the internet feels a lot different than it did, hell, not even 3 years ago. 6 years ago would've been nearly unrecognizable, and 9? God, if only I knew how much of a chore everything was going to become. Everyone's so serious now, I don't have the personality for that, it's just tedious.

Holy run-on sentence Batman

I always see Holla Forumstards making fun of "SJWs" and "libcucks" for doing the exact same shit they pulled this week. They did nothing but throw a tantrum endlessly on /qa/ and got nothing in return but a mod who actually cared about the site kicked out, and their shitty subreddits are still not allowed. Fucking retards.

Also the mod was an anarchist? Fucking RIP

How is everything so serious now? It's more ridiculous than it's ever been.

Both aren't mutually exclusive

It's ridiculous how serious everyone is.

You're telling me the mod who got fired was actually a leftist?
What a shame.

People can't shut up about politics nowadays yet most people are still illiterate retards. That kinda thing.

That's horrible OP!
How dare people freely express their opinions without fear of being censored?
Damn you capitalism, had it not been for you we could have censored some of the opinions we don't like like we did in the USSR!

Class consciousness.

Reading comprehension must not be your forte.

Did Holla Forums really surpass Holla Forums already? About time, all the normies I know irl are talking about Holla Forums nowadays, never understood why Holla Forums still had such a high traffic

No, you.

It's been faster than Holla Forums for months already, thanks to the US elections.

Reality itself has become something ridiculous.

Reality BTFO

You seem to not know what that word means fam.

You are right, that leftist mod should have banned anyone he wanted anyways. Freedom of speech is lame.

This can all be explained by the many worlds interpretation of quantum physics

The peak of the internet was from around 1996-2005 imo. YouTube started the downhill spiral.

I'm not sure why I'm even bothering to respond but please enlighten me how a website that used to be for fun and niche groups should cater to "freedom of speech"? I can understand (and agree) why you'd complain now that it's just another business, but even then, the mod fired handed out a warning, not a ban, and RWSS were against the rules a week ago and still are today. You should probably read a book so your reading comprehension improves.

You don't know anything about physics, so shut up. If you actually gave a shit about physics you'd study it instead of relying on movies and people like Deepak Chopra for your understanding of shit. Kill yourself.

Both are mutually inclusive :)

Yes, but the warning contained a highly politically message used to further promote the ideology of the mod, something that's not allowed to mods anywhere on 4chan other than Holla Forums.

Sure, but that's not the issue here.

Your memes are awful.

Funny how the person complaining about my reading comprehension can't understand why that mod got banned and has to retort to some capitalist conspiracy as evidenced by the OP above (sure, maybe not you, but your fellow /lefties/).

Because Holla Forums threw a tantrum about it. There's no other reason. Other mods have done much worse in all these years (see: /jp/).

Also here's the warning. Whoa, look at that highly political message!
It's the same shit the other mod said about why the threads are going to be banned, just more wordy and blunt.

were Holla Forumstards whining about THAT? holy lel, they're fucking babies

It's exactly like when liberals try to get someone fired because the person said something "mean".

Yes, and for a good reason.

Read a fucking book.

That doesn't justify anything. If it goes against the rules it should be reported and dealt with. Just because someone got out with it doesn't mean everybody else should.

Big or small, it's ideologically charged, and therefore, against the mod rules. He got what he deserved. Stop being butt-hurt about it.

Read a fucking book.


Good for them, they managed to accomplish their objectives, which was to remove a leftist mod from the administration. Like it or not, it's a win for them and a loss for you.


Good for them.

Did Op actually knew a mod or is people just taking a meme too seriosuly?

Someone's mad he got told he's got a poor reading comprehension.

The mod wasn't affiliated with Holla Forums, but he was an honest to god leftist, and not the liberal kind.

literally "it's ok when WE do it" 😂

I'm not the one who can't differentiate between the official mod reasoning behind the mod ban and the warning the banned mod gave. He literally said that "it was the same shit the other mod said" which is clearly wrong. He seriously lacks reading comprehension and has to retort to calling out on other's false lack of reading comprehension to compensate for it.

Letting a website become a business isn't free speech.

I'm not "them". I hate Holla Forums as much as Holla Forums really.
But yeah, it's okay when you manage to force your worldview whenever you can.


Not mutually exclusive, retard.

Do you have a source for this?

...

I'd post IRC logs but Hex-chat deletes them after a few thousand lines, sorry. Also I don't think he'd like being namedropped when Holla Forums is on a witchhunt because their feelings are hurt.

It's not like it's that big of a deal or hard to believe that some old ass ex-4chan mod was a leftist, anyway

That has nothing to do with "marginalized LGBT" communities, ut sure, communists are good at finding anything they can to fit their own worldview.


Fucking idiot. Just because I'm neither part of the far right nor the far left does it mean I'm a centrist.

Masters in computer science here… req'd quite a bit of physics to be accepted at US Berkeley

*UC not US

...

You sound like the fucking idiot here.

...

You tell me I'm mad, but you are the one who got your own mod banned on top of a few anarchist communes being closed down through the united states. I have nothing to be mad about here.


Sorry, I forgot communists are simply "left" and everything else from SocDems to Nazis are "far right".

wew lad

"Mad" is in the filename because it's a pic of Don Draper from Mad Men and it's a pun of "wew lad".
But since you responded to that I guess maybe you're a teensy bit mad.

That's right bucko. We're coming for your toothbrush.

your reading comprehension is failing again lol

SocDems are centrists/centerleft at best.

Obviously you didn't study any modern physics because that's not at all how it works. Kill yourself.

I browse both boards, they are fun. Just because I browse Holla Forums doesn't mean I agree with them, or else I would agree with Holla Forums as well.


Sure, alright.


I bet you want to steal my pencil as well. There is always that dirty commie who steals my last pen just when I most need it…


Read a fucking book.

They are left wing.
Communists & co. are Far Left.

Got any proof that he's "our" mod? Or were you retarded enough to believe those posts the BO made?

Of course a Holla Forumstard can only speak in memes.

Sorry, I forgot all of it is just a trolling attempt towards Holla Forums to make them believe the mod was actually from this board etc.
I don't care.
I do care that this mod has a political affinity close to yours and now is banned. Did he ever browse this site, I don't care.

I thought that was Holla Forums's pseudo-official motto though ;^)

I understand you're from Holla Forums but your responses are supposed to make sense.
I bet you call random things "spooks" too.

I'm not from Holla Forums in any way that wouldn't mean I'm from Holla Forums as well. I browse both boards on an almost equal basis.

Yeah, that's an epic meme. Too bad it's the best meme Holla Forums has and it didn't even start over there :(

I still hate 8ch more than 4chan, because while 4chan's owner is rotten, 8ch's entire community is shit (except for here and a handful other almost dead boards).

Too bad the Internet is so centralized and nothing but monopolies now. There needs to be more niche communities that aren't being owned by businessmen but people that actually care about the website.

moot was a fucking inept but he was still a hundred times better than Hiroyuki, Hotwheels or Jim.

lmao

Literally who cares. 4ch and 8ch do their job good enough.

True that tho

What's the sort of user count Holla Forums drags to 4chan? Holla Forums used to be the largest board for the site.

It's overall stats, but you can sort of guess (also it's suggested by the graph in big letters) what caused those increases.

That spike is from 4chan getting shitloads of publicity due to the fappening you lying fuck.

I didn't make the picture, calm down

Apologise.

they started around the same time

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamergate_controversy
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICloud_leaks_of_celebrity_photos

in fact it doesn't make sense than some leaks would bring even more hits months later

Fucking tragic.

...

Most people do leftist things and they don't even know it.


I hate to say, it, but we kinda told you so on the whole capitalism thing. This is basically the logical conclusion of the system. The big question is what do we do afterwords.

aka serving the status quo

...

what is this even supposed to mean lol

read heraclitus

Obviously. What's your point?

Whiny bitch. Nothing has happened. You are still free to post anything you want anywhere. In fact, capitalism saved us on this specific case regarding freedom of expression. Be thankful now.

HAHAHA

Capitalism made your computer.
Capitalism made your clothes.
Capitalism made you.

Checkmate, Communist.

Where it not for capitalism that mod wouldn't have been banned and would have banned users he personally disagreed with ;)

Crony capitalism made those things, real capitalism has never been tried.

Have you tried browsing 4chan on your phone?
I checked out one of the threads someone linked here while I was at work, holy shit it was nearly unusable. How can anybody stand that shit? At least Holla Forums is sensible in comparison.

Oh it's all fine and dandy until you start criticizing it too much. There was the whole Red Scare thing after all. Say what you will about the Reds back then, but it would've been better if there were civil debates instead of spying on everyone and arresting anyone even suspected to be a red. Nowadays it's always tap-dancing around the issue and subtle subversion tactics instead, since people, mostly working class, generally make sure we have freedom of speech, not so much the guys who own massive parts of the economy.


And the printing press was made under feudalism, and we don't use that system anymore, even though we have a more evolved version of it now. I'm pretty sure people made those things fam. Besides even the Soviet Union had those things. You should've gone with the whole 'look at all this abundance!' and you'd be right, but then I would bring up things like planned obsolescence, in fact I just did. It's not a bad system, just an out of date one.

10/10 TOP KEK

pure ideology

There was the whole Red Scare thing after all. Say what you will about the Reds back then, but it would've been better if there were civil debates instead of spying on everyone and arresting anyone even suspected to be a red.
Sure, that's pretty shitty. At the same time, I can't blame them too much, as for me, Stalin was worse than Hitler.
The ideal would be to let freedom of speech flourish, but then at the same time, why would you risk your opponent to rise up against you? It's the same reason on why Antifa's block Nationalists' freedom of speech.

This is just BS though.

Also, I'm pretty sure the other message you replied to was written as sarcasm by another Holla Forums affiliate.

Warned an user for a stupidity and embellished with political activism, and then all the supposed proof that he planed to delete threads on request. Sure those might be false flags or whatever, but it's a reasonable concern. I would say it's a good bet to claim he would have banned other users in the future. Even then, why keep him when he has already acted outside of the rules? No reason at all, mods are easily replaceable. Your loss, not mine.

Nah, you're the ideological one.

Nah, You are just fucking stupid

please continue to make a fool of yourself, my little reactionary cuck

you're the cuck, cuck.

...

don't think so, as I am not a cucktalist

Oh wow, a single ancient invention.

You're a commucuck.

I am a market anarchist actually, but you can keep getting triggered, my little reactionary cuck

I'm pretty sure people living under Stalin were way more of a cuck than those living under capitalism today.
But sure, we are the retarded ones who refuse to use a system that only brings misery.

Same shit.

The definition of a cuck.

of course, only a cuck could defend any form of state

lol, the reactionary cucks are getting triggered

stay cucked

This will sound crazy but I'm pretty sure I have been soft-banned from the entire site after pissing off Holla Forums way too many times. I had to resort to tor to post this because I can't post. I'm paranoid about this.

dude, you posted your "ironic" scat furry porn, not your "ironic" cuckold porn

check your other 4 GB folder

Who said anything about furry porn.

You're not a furry are you, cuck?

the cuck that posted it, obiously

What a surprise, he recognises it.

A furry and a cuck, ladies and gentlemen.

yeah, sadly your kind has polluted imageboards all over the internet

but hey, after all, you are the cuck with it saved it on ur pc, not me, so I win lol

Yes, you have polluted numerous image boards.

like what, 4/pol/?

lol, cry me a river

Top kek, faggot.
The soviets also eventually conquered a thing Russians never had which was food security

I win this one.

What about all those authoritarian dictators like Pinochet that threw commies out of helicopters? Or COINTELPRO?

saldy you lose irl lol

m8, get out more

lmao ok but just if you ask nicely

please fuck off and take your furry shit w/u

This is genuinely pathetic.
Sage.

My mate does have some sick ass reaction pics.
Also Furfags should be hung.

Is that like MLP, but even more cringey af?

Might want to call a suicide hotline lad.

all yours my friend, the furfag just doesn't stop giving

Yeah to the people who own my job and house for some reason.

*runs away*

I'm not a furfaggot.

I'm not that mate, but arguing with furfags and horsefuckers is useless, you should stop living right now, you are wasting my oxygen.

...

Not the sharpest spoon on the table, are we.

lmfao, what a mega faggot

This is another loss for you.

Furfaggot got gulaged.

lol you fucking idiots care about internet chans drama. what a bunch of incel beta bitches

One must be dumb as fuck if he still visits 4chan.

Just let that website die.

I wonder who's behind this post

...

>Holla Forums shitflinging over literal doxxing ended kicking one of the most beloved mods of the only mod worth a damn on /a/ just after it came back.
/a/ is not going to like it one bit.

Stop eating paint chips.

Those were justified. And waaaay smaller in number than communist deaths.

Excuse me, I believe you're complaining about 4chan while on Holla Forums. If you're on Holla Forums you shouldn't care about 4chan. You should stay here. This is your home now.

Good God the injustice of it all someone think of poor Holla Forums!

Idiot.

Definition of cuckery; not only cucked by the state but also by phantoms of your own imagining.

Somebody update the picture with the new stats
