all true and i can't help but wonder to what degree gay ops are in effect because 4chan is for profit and would have a financial interest in spamming into oblivion what they see as not for profit competitors. and is it not true that kc has some crypto mining component to it or maybe that is all rumor or whatever? also glow in the dark gay ops, of course, because state actors are motivated to limit independent platforms where they can't enforce editorial control of opinion and content. so many useful idiots who's collective actions in effect destroy independent communities and funnel anons into large corporate platforms at the end of the day. imageboards and the anons that use them are scattered all about these days and the only way i've found to emulate a quality active board is to keep tabs on several browser tabs and the aggregate effect is decent but hard to keep tabs on. this scene is hyper decentralized now and i've never been more reluctant to talk about fight club for fear the usual suspects will show up and derail what quality is left out there. i hope 9chan makes a go of it. there was energy here when null launched it and with kiwi farmers a user base was built in to a degree. there have been some nice quality needles of oc in the haystack of spam tier shit posts that clogged up this /b/ for whatever reason or motivation. i will continue to listen to the websocket and hope to receive updates as soon as they are made.
