4chan is truly dead

Jesus christ, not even GETs are allowed anymore? It's like they want to amputate all the fun out of themselves.

What I think is they're intentionally trying to remove the culture from 4chan to make it more compatible to a wider audience.
Before Hiroyuki, Moot has expressed his idea of what an imageboard is as "a waterfall of content." that's what he (and probably Hiroyuki) wants 4chan to be.

The logical result of this:
Inside jokes, racism, trolling, etc. are not compatible with people who want to stop by, get a few laughs, and maybe learn a thing or two in an organized fashion.
When a thread derails, it can be a good thing for active users who enjoy that kind of interaction, but it's not so good for people who enter the thread really wanting to see content related to the topic.

I also think it's because the media is now looking at halfchan more in light of the election and other related things, so they're trying to clean up the site as the media and law enforcement scrutinizes it more, which of course, brings in outsiders who want to see what it's all about.

This shit's been going on for years though.
The people who frequent halfchan don't even realize it's happening for the most part. Many even brush it off as "always being that way." frog in a frying pan and whatnot.

yeah, but it was always covered up pretty well. as of late it's been kicked into overdrive and the facade is cracking, like I said, because they're cleaning it up for the media/LE agencies

It's just the mods own bias, not some great plan in the works. Shitposts, racism, trolling, it all gets banned because some janitor thinks it's "irrelevant" and wants more quality discussion.

whoops nearly forgot, had to blur out names because they're not Anonymous

They weren't exaggerating when they said that literal SJWs mod 4chan now. Glad I left, though, though I should have left earlier.
