Anonymous boards can be a pleasing experience. I’ve been active on 4chan during my late teen years (and on 8chan for a few months), the comfort of anonymity and the impossibility to develop bias toward specific online identities help people to express their mind openly and without fear of being judged or having your shit takes stickied on your front head for the rest of you online persona’s life - which is something I’ve always liked about these places. Forming a bond with the board’s hivemind and having a place to vent without the fear of being judged is truly a weird and liberating experience, if it wasn’t for all the trash this setup attracts. The nazis and hyper-libertarian shitting all over the place. I stopped hanging on there for the vitriolic, racist, bigoted posts popping out every two threads, which luckily didn’t radicalize me, they rather had the opposite effect. And also because I was loosing my ability to tell legitimate opinions from overly articulated propaganda ops and well-masked uninformed takes
Every now an then I still have a look at what some anonymous Telegram bots are up to, they’re the only place that offer an anonymous board-like experience and that are moderated. I too wonder what 4chan would be like without the userbase that makes it what it is
Rollerblading. My little brother is very good at it so I decided to learn. Gliding on the street’s concrete is incredibly satisfying, when I started learning a few weeks ago I didn’t expect it to be so fun. I’m progressing slowly, but I’m looking forward my next holidays so I can invest more time to at least feel confident enough to ride alone without fearing to be run over by a car because I couldn’t stop at a crosswalk (seriously why getting used to breaks needs to be this hard ugh)
The yunohost app exists in the official list, but it’s labeled as broken and the docs link return a 404 :(
You’re right, I wanted to open it or post a suggestion in some meta community, but after setting up the filter I totally forgot about that box and ended up never doing it
