  1. Update: in a move that makes too much sense in retrospect, it turns out that #8kun is most probably responsible for the death of #4chan. Remember, the former #8chan was founded as a place for people so edgy, they managed to get themselves banned from the already hands-free 4chan.
  2. Looks like somebody took #4chan down for good. Which unfortunately isn't going to help matters much in the battle against trolls, because they'll just move to the cesspool for people too edgy for even 4chan, a.k.a. #8kun f.k.a. #8chan. 404media.co/4chan-is-down-foll…

  3. It is great to see advertisers leaving #8kun, whoops I meant the dead bird site. Same thing anymore, and it is time to start questing the motives of colleagues and orgs who remain there. #academicmastodon #newsmedia #musk

  4. You can’t make this up.

    Jim Watkins, owner of #8kun that largely pushed the conspiracy theory of #QAnon, has claimed that QAnon was invented by George Soros and left-leaning Media Matters, in a sworn testimony before the Jan. 6 committee. vice.com/en/article/93a7j3/jim

    "Hiroyuki Nishimura (※) has become a famous voice for disenchanted young Japanese. What he talks much less about is his ownership of the notorious website 4chan."

  6. Jim Watkins was a server supplier and business partner of Japanese bulletin board "2channel", but after a dispute with Hiroyuki Nishimura over money, he effectively took over and gained the right to run Japan's largest anonymous board, which still exists today under the name 5channel.

    Researchers are considered to "QAnon phenomenon" was inspired the methods of spreading disinformation in Japanese largest anounymous board.

  7. Speaking of which, the men behind "Q", "Ron Watkins" and his dad ex. 8chan and 8kun owner "Jim Watkins" have been in Sapporo, Japan, for several days.

    Probably they need to meet Japanese partners in connection with a court case against "Hiroyuki Nishimura" (ひろゆき (@[email protected]) founder of 2channel, currently owner of #4chan) over his share of money on the Japanese anonymous board 2ch, which is a major roots of #ChanCulture.

  8. We may've been too hard on #4Chan, #8Chan and #8kun.

    The reason we've been so hard on them is they helped create the #Christchurch massacre, don't federate, have prevented #Tor users from posting images, and hide behind #Cloudflare (so when they cross the line their service is not negatively effected).

    Having said that we understand why they might not be able to permit random Tor image uploads.

    In all fairness, we hope they ditch Cloudflare and try to be an open, #federating, Tor/I2P service.

  9. We are #WallStreet and the MoneyPrinters, circa 1913 we've been supporting #division and both sides of civil discords and war, one "neo-Nazi" at a time.

    Its been fun to watch you all, now run along and fight amongst yourself some more.

    This was predictable.

    #Gab is #Cloudflare, part of their business is producing #extremists (see #4Chan, #8Kun #AlexJones).

    Federation breaks their #radicalisation process, because at any moment a person can come along and, with humor, call bullsh%t and break the #trance.

    This is why we were always pro-federation with Gab, even when so-called #antifascists were pining to #selfIsolate in 2019.

    Its going to be harder to reach #kids in that #cyberWeapon now.

  11. Has the #ChristchurchMassacre faded from memory a bit? Yes?

    Good.

    So now is the time to revive #Cloudflare's signature #extremist and #nazi production platform, #4chan/#8chan.

    Renamed as #8kun.

    Shouldn't take too long before the next #terrorAttack. Thinking the next one will be #antiChina rather than #antiMuslim, but we haven't done any research – just a gut feeling.
