The most notable of which being “The 4chan moderation team reserves the right to revoke access and remove content for any reason without notice.”
I noticed something fishy starting a few weeks ago. I kept getting 3 day bans, but with no reason listed and/or no link to the offending post.
So basically I was being banned because the mods wanted to ban me. This turned into a permanent ban, I presume because of the updated rules that I wasn’t aware of.
You are not allowed to DISCUSS anything that violates US law. I was banned for mentioning that I was worried my neighbours are abusing their kid.
Permanently banned from 4Chan for this. I tried to appeal it but it was rejected.
Always saw 4Chan as a freedom of speech platform but looks like things are changing very quickly.
At the time of the COVID pandemic, so 4 or 5 years after gamergate, I saw a 4chan repost on reddit about starting a conspiracy that drinking your own piss would prevent/cure COVID. About 2 weeks later there was a mainstream news article about some dehydrated maga supporter who was pulled of the road, who had been drinking his own piss.
I thought that was pretty original and novel.
I’ve never been a 4chan user though, so I only see 4chan memes/trolling once it spreads outside and I can’t comment on the quality/quantity of their content, I just don’t think that the site’s relevance is completely gone.
