Librechan, one of the FOSS alternatives to Holla Forums, is shutting down somewhere between today and tomorrow

librechan.net/meta/res/821.html

i know most of you probably hate it because le pedos are bad meme, but i also know some of you really value the fact that it actually provided freedom of speech without tracking its users or storing and selling post logs. the decision seems to be final. celebrate it, or mourn it, either way i just thought you guys would want to know.

Pedos can't keep their pedochan full of illegal shit up, what a surprise.

I don't hate them because they were pedos
I hate them because they were shitposting pieces of shit who didn't know how to stay on their own website, good riddance

And nothing of value was lost

...

Just look at picture related, faggot. Train to restrain yourself and ultimately become an autist like the rest of us. It will solve your problems with sex urges.

...

I can't wait until the only place we're allowed to post is kikebook.

Make some good Holla Forums threads and slide it then, faggot. PPH is too low to run around deleting things that hurt your feels.

Will this help me not be a faggot? It's either that or a rope.

How delusional are these child molesting pieces of shit?

You need to be dead

Back to whichever .onion site you came from, kiddy fiddler.

...

There are naked children on librechan?

Good thing I didnt click op

Yeah I wouldn't recommend it. If you are curious use tor.

Interesting timing. The UN gets control of ICANN, 4chan goes financially into the red, and now librechan closes shop, all within just a few days' time.
I only visited occasionally (ditto with other less popular chans) but it was nice to know there existed a site that was almost 100% uncensored, especially in light of recent political shenanigans.
I guess the next logical step is full darknet or mesh networks.

When gnunet will be fully operational censor will be a thing of the past

Why would that thing that was made by the navy and DARPA and promoted by the US government help?

Tinfoilers complaining about tor... It's not perfect, just use pen and paper, if you're that worried about botnet shit

When will this meme end. They didn't. The whole thing just prooved how gullible people are and how easy you can manipulate people.

Stop it, you're triggering Holla Forumstards with your facts

Internet was originally DARPA, but it largely grew out of their control, to the point where they now have datacenters logging all traffic because they don't know wtf else to do.
By and large there's too much traffic to decrypt and analyze at any given time.

Nice try NSA, but leaked documents from Snowden and Wikileaks showed otherwise, and Holla Forums is too well informed to be baited by this low energy shit.

How so? And why isn't there even a single Holla Forums or Holla Forums thread about it then?

Hi NSA, I'm not as gullible as you think.

That's false. Hiroshima is just pulling an act to sell more 4chan passes.

t. NSA agent going against what leaked documents say

The only true forums that are thriving are HackForums and LeakForums. Even those have their fair share of cancer.

So is it really happening? are the old-ways of communicating with people actually dieing now? Forums, chans, IRC?

I feel like setting up a darknet forum which runs on MyBB. Not sure how I'm gonna pull that off though, It'd need to be SSL-Secured somehow. Also would need to pull in quite a few users, and make it appeal to somewhat "normal" people. Doing all this while maintaining freedom of speech sounds difficult.

In the meantime, Holla Forums's fine.
Are SSL (or other crypto) supported in ZeroNet yet? Only issue there is sharing the MySQL database with all the private user information.

Snowden says the NSA is recording all traffic, not decrypting it. That would be impossible even with all their CPUs. So they archive everything, in case they ever need to come back to it later, and actually waste cycles on it.
Granted, that doesn't help if the site is using weak encryption, or broken encryption (openssl heatbleed bug), or there's a reverse proxy in between, or if it's just a badly secured site that they can hack into and get admin privs on (assuming it's a big enough target).
But generally speaking, we can deduce from tne Snowden leaks that NSA prefers to go around the encryption rather than break it.

LMao, good

if you take a picture in the bathroom of your naked 2 year old taking a bath, is it CP?

If you then post it on a pedo board it might be. Context matters.

If it's uploaded on a site that's known to be infested with pedoshits, yes.

"Maybe"

What's with the quotation marks?

Are you going to risk testing the limits of what is cp or not?

you can jerk off to a picture of tile patterns, but that doesn't make it tile pattern porn, even if you post it on an imageboard for people who jerk off to tile patterns.

by that logic if i post a picture of the ham i cooked for last nights dinner in a muslim-hosted imageboard i should be beheaded for offending islam, even if i live in america.

Yes you retard.

Is this so hard for you to understand?

she looks too nigger to me

so you're saying that anything can be porn depending on where its posted.

do you realize how much of a retard you are right now?

Yes, he is saying that. What's the problem?

Similarly, every stream of bits can have a useful meaning depending on the language used to interpret it.

Sorry you're too retarded to realize how retarded you are.

Fuck off with your strawman argument, pedo

And also how many parents taking pics of their kids taking a bath take pictures of their vagina? None, pedo scum

the problem is that he's wrong.

things aren't porn because you jerk off to them or not.

So why are they porn, then?

This is fucking hilarious.

I was quoting what the op said, because he's retarded. I think I just took bait, probably twice

good riddance to kalyx, such an incredible fuckwit drama whore

I went there once and tried to talk about encryption. All I got was a bunch of commies bitching about whether or not it was schway.

What drama did I miss?

So lainchan don't put up with Holla Forumstards that have no idea about technology?

Sounds like a great place.

Yeah. You should go there and never come back.

And so is 4chan according to CNN who can totally be trusted on otaku news!
money.cnn.com/2016/10/05/technology/4chan-shutting-down/

There's an article on BBC too.

Please let it die, and everyone in it.

Oh fuck, how do I backup everything on /hebe/ /cutegirs/ & /teen/ before the site goes down? is it just wget + links? would that get me every page, and every thread of a specified board?

Are tiles. No human was fucked with in the making of the picture.


muhhh false equivalence.
If you did that in a shitskin muzzie country then yes because thats the law and you are stupid in flaunting them in fuckhead places.

In America no but then if you do it in a muslim community and end up dead well what did you expect.

You argument is literally the I went to a black neighbourhood shit hole and yelled niggers and got shot.

Context matters you dumb pedo fuck.

god damn it, i rang wget with the recursive flag on the /teen/ board to try to get it to go to every page and thread and download everything, but it is trying to backup the entire site and it is downloading disgusting shit like the toddler board and the boylove board what the fuck I don't want that shit

Too late. Time to destroy your hard drive.

What a rotten way to die.

...

hol up
aint Holla Forums open source?
thats the whole reason i came here

not anymore.

Endchan is alive, just forgotten.
endchan.xyz/

The newer changes aren't, but most of the site still is.

These forms of communication will be around forever. Older websites with bitter autists still clinging as hard as they can to their youths are a testament to that.

As long as there are people who want to use them forums, chans, et al will still be available somewhere.

The real question that should be asked here is not whether conventional shitposting hubs are dying, but where the shitposting is moving to. Surely it's not all Facebook and Twitter. Especially considering the lack of anonymity there.

in this case? Probably to masterchan.

...

...

...

He claims he got someone else to stand in front of his webcam and beat off, as if anyone would believe that.

He used lainchan donation money for food on multiple occasions.

He's a diehard apple fanboi.

Even the rest of the lainchan staff are massive tryhards. It's a shame, because the site had potential. I kinda hope the new owner can make it better.

wget has a --no-parent flag
I don't know if it will help in this case, because I'm not familiar with the site's structure, but you can try. Otherwise you have to use regex or something.

Also you can adjust the maximum depth level, with the -l flag. -l 1 or -l 2 will probably do the trick. Default is 5.

These places didn't even exist when I was young (closest thing was diulup BBS). So I have no emotional attachment, but still choose to post here and avoid places like facebook.

Other conventional shitposting hubs most likely, maybe only accessible through Tor, I2P, or other services. I don't see anything new taking off with the current state of the world.

It had no illegal content you goon.


where the fuck have you been?
Holla Forums is closed source botnet, only minor Javashit is released.

Nextchan also seems to be down.


Wut?


I really don't keep up with the situation on reddit (or other more mainstream sites), what did they change? Are you talking about their post sponsoring advertisement shit or something else?

That alone should be enough of a reason to not use it as it just turns it into a distributed reddit where other can easily look at your post history across sites on ZeroNet, but there's also the problem of how anyone can push changes to a site including submitting malicious javascript (which you can't block as ZeroNet requires javascript to be allowed in order to function) and how links to regular websites will load from clearnet (whether you click them or if they're loaded automatically by the page) even if ZeroNet is routed through Tor at the time. All ZeroNet is is a shitty Freenet clone with massive security holes and no anonymity/privacy.

nextchan isn't down. They just changed their settings when they swtiched to http/2.
I can still access it if I disable http/2 requests, although I think they fucked up their configuration somewhere.

all they did was post legally questionable pictures of underage girls.

it's a great reminder of what shitty people pedophiles are though, they'll burn everything and everyone to ground just for a picture of a 6 year old in a g-string. That's the most important thing in the world to them, nigger tier MUH DIK.

Pedophilia is free speech like Islam is a religion of peace.

In order to see past the most upvoted comments on most threads you need to click a blue button entitled "show more comments"

Has something significant changed compared to how they've been doing that for 10 years?

Hasn't it always been like that? I'm pretty sure it's been like that since I first came across reddit years ago.

On checking, it looks like the options to sort the posts (putting newer, older, or "controversial" posts at the top instead of the most upvoted) are still there as well.

...

pedos wouldn't have a problem with anything other than pedo content being censored.

so basically "i don't like these people therefore they don't deserve freedom of speech"? got it

Are you saying that if you were attracted to little girls you wouldn't secretly fap to them in the privacy of your own home?

Nextchan is unusable, slow as fuck, posting errors.

I don't know if that's because of the PHP Pro's code or the people running the site being incompetent.

every site on the internet including librechan tracks it's users and stores posting logs.

also I doubt even 4chan with all it's traffic is selling posting logs, no one wants to buy the shitposting of a bunch of neets, Holla Forums's would be worthless since it allows VPN/Tor posting.

I would assume this is a joke but I know autistic people believe anything they're told.

kill yourself, pedo faggot.

I enjoyed /jp/ on Librechan.

I hope the Japs find a new home.

Why don't they just use 2chan?

Yeah I followed them there during the DDOS and had my sides permanently damaged from all the "international outreach" threads where they would shitpost in english. I really wanted to share it around but it had to be at fucking whydontyouhaveaseat.net

A shame but it is to be expected when blatantly illegal stuff is constantly being uploaded there. Obviously it will be noticed by LE agencies and other internet-watch type organizations

Only real option is to switch it to Tor only, provided you're happy with getting about 10 new posts per day

Obvious virgin is obvious. Thats a fake tan retard. Girls like to go that for some weird reason. Also look at her face there is no way she is 14. Its cute you use your racial prejudice to justify why women dont talk to you though. Maybe one day a stripper will let you touch her boobs.

point at this cuck and laugh

selectivists dont want true freedom, they want convenience for themselves.


i think the japs migrated to librechan because their site was becoming a piece of shit and they got fed up with it.

Indeed, but of course the normal posters who thing Tor is a dragnet and I2P is gey are moving elsewhere too.

Should you desire to move with them? Maybe, but they are the wave of the future like it or not.

I personally troll many different chans as long as they are Tor accessible. NNTPchan is still my favorite but it became kind of cancer now so Holla Forums is my main again.

This "wave of the future" you talk about is pure cancer and it's killing the internet. It's what brought about shit like Facebook and the trend of giving all of your information away like it's nothing, which in turn has brought about massive datamining in mainstream software because the "wave of the future" doesn't fucking care about their own privacy because they've been conditioned not to. I've honestly had enough of this "future". The future for the old internet is services like Tor or I2P, or maybe even using older protocols that will run better on slower services like Freenet.

> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freenet
Sounds like my kind of place, although I'd be more inclined to make Gopher site.

Did people seriously think there were no logs or tracking on Librechan?

How do you think bans or post IDs work?

every pedo is a lawyer and in their expert opinions erotic pictures of kids are totally legal. Just make sure you allow TOR access that LEA can't track because unrelated reasons.

Why is it hard to make great chan software? Is it PHP or is it some subtle difficult thing that I am not seeing?

Redefining free speech again to suit your politics just like SJWs redefine racism and sexism to suit their politics. That's the Holla Forums way.

In that case you are, most likely, not free man/woman because you do not have freedom to kill other people.

not an argument

Gopher for information sharing, USENET for slower paced discussion, and IRC for faster paced discussion.

I have good news. I found this librearchive.cloudchan.org

Librechan and all the other 8ch clones are dead because they relied on spamming links on every 8ch board in addition to spreading conspiracy theories about Jim Watkins to get users.

If you want your website to succeed, whether it's an imageboard or not, buy an ad and stop resorting to dishonest tactics. Users see right through that shit.

use nntpchan. it does not even support logging..

librechan had problems with their provider, not money.

another bastion of free speech dead. are there any hidden imageboards with freedom?

Librechan had a reason to exist, so they could post their "legal" child modeling pics.

It was 16ch and Endchan they tried to get users through FUD.

librechanners come from Holla Forums and 2chan actually. 16chan's and endchan's userbases are almost nonexistent. (except endchan with librejp now)

I didn't try Freenet yet, but I'm getting the impression IRC could be a problem due to the high latency, so connections may time out, unless you modify the protocol.
Something based on XMPP (Jabber) might work better.

What did I miss and is the owner getting a new domain? Sad to see the only real Holla Forums left get the chop.

If CP is that important to you then you should never leave the darknet/onion sites.

(((you)))
Who said anything about CP, Pigman? If it is legal, you can post it. No exceptions.

This! We should tell normies that encryption is not broken, but circumvented.

It's not legal which is why Librechan got shut down.

I didn't know their /jp/ board was so active. Did they move anywhere?

Suck start a shotgun.

/librejp/ on endchan.

LeakForums and HackForums block Tor, VPN, Proxy
But there are still forums left. bluelight.vb, flashback.org.
If shit _really_ hits the fan anyone can download vichan and start their own .onion chan, with all the CP they want.

Back up again; Onion link only.

So what do you guys make of this, honeypot? Though if it is why the onion link only?

How is the site back?

Will Endchan lose /jp/?

endchan: "Nothing illegal under US law (Nevada)"


no

Holla Forums also believes, or used to believe, that it's legal to dox someone and openly discuss harassing them and making false reports to the police and whatnot. Surely operating an imageboard makes anyone an expert on the law.

Doxing is legal, child models are a grey area.

The cops obviously didn't care about /hebe/ but if they wanted to then they could.

friendly reminder that werchan has been up for literal years at this point

They realized their lives were less than meaningless then prompty went to hang themselves to stop leeching off their parents.

...

It is legal you fucking idiot. It's only illegal if you illegally obtained it. If it's in the public domain and freely available, it's not against the law to share it you god damn idiot.

worst feel

FBI confirmed to be in control of that Twitter account.

Potion is probably sucking a bbc in prison right now.
