@lizzy 100% agree. I used to run a community that was specifically geared towards shut-ins and because of that was inherently 4chan-adjacent, but we had a specific angle: because the moderation team were explicitly Communists, we decided the community space would invite and accept people whose politics and social outlook were regressed/backwards. The catch was though, this was a space where you were going to be challenged every time that socially regressive attitude reared its heads. But it was specifically, on a policy-level, not about being the holiest among the holy, or some kind of performative debate. Rather it was really, extended discussions (and "struggle sessions" as it were) over time focused on changing peoples belief systems.

We were unique in that we fucking hated libs, hated nazis and related culture, but wanted to transform people. In a lot of ways I feel like we were proto-maoist in our approach.

@zyd yea, i've also spent a bunch of time on 4chan when i was younger, luckily grew out of it. it's not like i can't tell. i also think that isolating a marginalized person over this stuff is absolute dogshit behavior, how is anyone ever supposed to grow out of it if all you do is push them further into it by cutting all connections and friendships to people that don't associate with that. pearl clutching white women need to get more comfortable with the fact that marginalized people aren't a perfectly sanitary shining liberal beacon of wokeness and have a shitton of issues to work through.

@lizzy Fediblocking is stupid for all but the most obvious things (csam, spam, mastodon.social). Kind of get why someone would look at that person's profile and block though. It's very obvious they're embedded in 4chan-descended culture, deep in the irony poisoned well. I get it though, I'm Black, and grew up and spent my early 20s in 4chan, 8chan, lainchan, and irc channels where "nigger" was used as something of a universal slur (loaded with degrees of irony and always with a backdrop of racism, inherently).

If you haven't experienced board culture at all, you see that and walk the other fucking way because you're relatively a normie lol. Also last screenshot in here is actually just funny because a couple of posts before they were asking for a specific monitor for black history month lmao
