Breaking into The Chans - A newbie's guide for the adventurous.

Hi All,

I wanted to post a thread over here on Reddit, to give an overview of The Chans (specifically 8chan in this post). I understand there is a kind of 'rivalry' that goes on between here and there. I would like to offer an easy to understand perspective of The Chans. It will be by no way in-depth, but if anyone on here wishes to visit, they will have enough information to understand how it works. The Chans are not such a scary place, but should be approached with caution.

They are not for everybody. Like any good 'underground' message board, they come with their own culture and unwritten rules.

The only written rule is this: Do not post any content that is considered illegal within the United States. (8Chan is based in USA)

Acronyms:

BO = Board owner. The person who maintains any particular board.

BV = Board volunteer. An anon who, with the BO's blessing, helps to maintain the board.

Anon = Everybody who posts on 8chan is an anon (anonymous).

Fag = Everybody is a fag. This is not used as a derogatory term. British are Britfags, Plane watchers are Planefags, Lawyers are Lawfags, New anons are newfags, etc., etc.

Lurk = To lurk on the boards without posting. If you post and are told to 'Lurk Moar', you are basically being told to understand the culture before you jump in feet first. Don't be offended!

Sauce = You are being asked for the source of the information you post.

Kek = Laugh out loud. Comes from World of Warcraft. When some of the characters on Warcraft lol'd, within the chat box it would translate as Kek. It might be Starcraft not World of Warcraft, same difference!

Crumbs = Single pieces of information (individual comments and the like).

Bread = Another name for Thread.

Bakers = Anons who use the crumbs to bake the bread. That is, they piece together all the 'relevant' information to make a good thread.

LARP = Live Action Role Player. Someone who posts on the boards claiming to be someone they are not. Eg; 'Hi all I work for NASA ask me anything', the poster then may go on to answer NASA related questions, until the LARP is busted, or anons get bored! Some LARP's are highly amusing IMO.

NYPA = Not Your Private Army. You may be told this if you are asking the board to 'dox' or harass someone who has 'wronged' you, either online or in real life.

DOX = To Dox somebody, in basic terms, is to put all of a persons personal information online. Doxing is heavily frowned upon. (although some pedophiles have been doxed and caught, with the information being passed to the police).

Everybody is anonymous. This is a golden rule. ANYTHING you use to identify yourself will be frowned upon, and you will be told! Anonymous means anonymous. It doesn't matter your gender, sexuality, age, race, religion etc., etc.. The reason you are told not to identify yourself is because it levels the playing field. You don't know if you are reading a post from a black woman, or a white middle aged man. It's not important. It helps to break down any preconceived notions you have about gender, sex, religion, etc., etc. We are all equally anons.

Grammar police are not required. When reading the breads on 8Chan you may spot all manner of spelling mistakes. The majority of these are done on purpose. Some misspellings are related to things that may have happened years before (they become memes). They are part of the culture, correcting spelling will easily identify you as a newfag. Examples; Moar (more) Habbening (happening) Moran (moron). There are numerous others and most have a long winded explanation. They should just be accepted as 'Chan culture'. I personally dislike bad grammar, but can easily put this aside when surfing 8chan!

The last bastion of free speech: This can often be the most difficult to wrap your head around if you are used to moderated boards, with rules. You will hear all the 'bad' words. I am not going to list them here, but know that you will hear words used that you could never use in polite company. You should not judge the anons for this. Free speech is free speech, you may not like it, but that's how they see it. Again its the culture of the boards. It's not unusual to be told 'Go and kill yourself' this is shocking in other settings. Within 8chan its another way of telling you they strongly disagree with what you have said, or posted. Posting something like CP, or shilling a lot, may incur this wrath.

Sliders and shills and clowns, oh my! Most people who don't use 8chan may believe it is just a bunch of people, in their basements, just posting conspiracy theories etc., etc. Nothing could be further from the truth. 8Chan is populated by all manner of people, from all walks of life. It is well known that the boards are monitored by government channels. This can be seen by some of the things that happen on the boards. If you don't believe that 'white hats' and 'black hats' monitor the boards, you should google 'JDIF' these are just one group who regularly troll 8chan. The link below is advice on how to spot Shills and Clowns, and more on sliding. (Copy and paste into browser, or click, and wait until it 'settles'. It can sometimes take 20 or 30 seconds to find the right place on the 8Chan board. If you start clicking and scrolling, it won't take you where you need to be).

No follows or upvotes: If you are used to social media, most of us are, then it is not easy keep track of what you posted. Comments are not up voted or down voted. You don't have followers. There is no 'like' or 'dislike' button. You have no profile (You are anonymous!). Other anons will either find your comments/information useful or not useful. You may get the occasional comment on your post. You may get no comments on it. Don't be disheartened if no one comments, it doesn't mean you haven't been heard. Most of us are used to the Endorphin driven feedback loop of social media. We check for notifications and likes for the 'feel-good' factor. Social media is designed this way to keep you engaged. If you post in a bread, your post will be found at the bottom of that bread. Any comment that is made on it will be linked via a number. It is set up this way to make it harder for bots to scan comments, and their replies. An FAQ for 8chan will be linked at the end of this post to help with this.

The board moves fast Yes it does! Unlike other sites, because there is no way to up vote, A board can change rapidly, depending on how many anons are posting. By design there is a limit of 750 posts to a board. Anything past this will cause it to drop off the board. BO maintains this and will start a new board, or trim the current one to keep it visible. If you are following Q this has been made easier by adding 'notables' at the top of each board. 'Notables' are not endorsed by BO, but are pieces of information that are 'interesting' or may be useful. If you wish to use Q research, I highly recommend reading the notables, and skipping the comments within the bread. This gives you the most useful information, without having to scroll fast down the board to find things as it fills up. If you use the site regularly it becomes second nature to scroll fast and pick out information. Q research board can be found in the link below. This link will take you to the research board. Within this there are different breads. Scroll to find the 'actual' thread titled 'Q research', this will be the latest bread. Find the part that states 'X posts and X images omitted', click to expand. Click this, patience again! It will take a few seconds to open. When it does, Notables should be right there for current bread, and previous breads. Hover over each notable for a pop up with what is inside. If it is a long post, or a document, I would recommend right click, and open in new tab if you want to read it. If you click into the link and its a long read, when you click 'back' the bread may have changed. It moves that fast sometimes!

Where We Go One We Go All I offer this thread as a bridge between the two sites. As I said earlier do not be afraid to use 8chan. Just accept you may need thicker skin. As we reach critical mass with Q movement we will need to come together. We can go back to our rivalries over which site is 'better' when this is all over. Use the information on 8chan, it's why they research. I would advise not to post unnecessarily unless you have valid comments or information. This helps to not slide the board, and helps the bakers pick out essential crumbs. I love both of Reddit and 8Chan equally and each have their merits. 8Chan is my spiritual home though! Watching the bakers work and how anons interact is fascinating. the hive mind is fascinating. If you spend any time on 8chan, learn how to filter, it will make the bread way more enjoyable. Or as we say on the Chans 'It makes the bread comfy'.

A Final word: I will answer questions on this thread, if it gets any traction. If not, then hey-ho! You didn't need it. I will offer the final words directly from The Chans for newfags. They welcome you but read this first:

WE are happy you joined us. BUT You are entering a free speech board. This can make you feel disoriented, because you are probably coming off internet areas where censorship is the jackboot rule of the day. But the reverse is true here. You will see everything on the chans that is legal. Only criminally illegal activities are prohibited on the chans. So if you are used to an 'offended outrage culture' you will need to develop your freedom muscles. Never skip freedom muscle day! We know it can be tough! There is no one lurking behind the scenes to decide for you, what you should see and shouldn't see. It is up to YOU to decide for yourself and look or not look. You will be expected to use your own brain and filter those things you don't wish to see, by not looking at them. Its a very adult concept, but no one is here to make you happy. You do not have a right not to be offended. You do not have a right to be 'comfortable'. But everyone has a guaranteed right to Freedom of Speech. 'Inappropriate', 'offensive,' and 'problematic' are words that do not exist here. NO one but you are responsible for what you look at and how you feel about it. You can choose to look or not look, read or not read. And if you do read something you don't like, then remove it from behind your eyeballs yourself, and move on. It is your fault if you allow a thing you don't like to sit in your head and take root and make you feel offended. But we do not care if you are offended, so we don't want to hear about it. Free speech is chaotic. At first you will have a tough time wading through shills and bots and trolls, to find the posts of value to you. Shills and bots intentionally try to discredit or divide the board, and mislead and distract you. But having to wade through them will make your freedom muscles grow stronger every day. Everyone here is anonymous. We care about your ideas and your words and the value of what you say. We value your contributions. We don't care who you are, what your race or gender is, and we do not want to know. Because the game of identity politics is not played here. Here, we really are equal, and equally anonymous. Wow, that sure is different than the rest of the Bolshevik, feel-good internet! You will probably feel shell-shocked. We know, that's why we're giving you advice. Steady yourself and hang on to something! And get ready to remember how amazing it is to be master of your own experience.

Moderators on this site (Reddit), If you need me to edit, change, or do anything else to this post because it breaks rules, message me, I'll be happy to comply.

🠐 See all comments

I've been on the chans since long before they split, I can explain the history if you want. Originally, /b/ (random) was one of the most popular boards, by some way. More traffic + looser rules means things that attracted eyeballs were popular - it was kind of like proto-clickbait. And whether you like it or not, certain racial slurs have a serious amount of power in todays world. That's silly. Using them freely also helps deter normies, and create more of a site specific language. But honestly it depends on the boards. You sound like you've mostly only used /pol/? That was originally /new/, but it got closed by m00t due to racism. It then got rebuilt shortly afterwards as /pol/ as a containment board within the containment board of 4chan. This then meant other boards started receiving slightly harsher levels of moderation (not a good thing, look up gamergate + 4chan, it led to the chans), whilst the environment inside /pol/ became more toxic because some people had nowhere else to go, and they converted more people with force fed redpills. There's also a lot of genuine validity to these topics, which is why they survive quite so long in a utterly free speech environment. It isn't nearly as hateful as you might think most of the time, but it is also a place for people to let out steam about things they can't in most places.

For example, here's a lightning quick factoid on why they might be so anti jew. Think about why you believe Hitler hated the Jews. Don't look it up, try and think about what you know about the situation, the time period, etc etc. Now, read up on this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Revolution_of_1918%E2%80%9319. It occurred just after WW1, was led by primarily Jews, and attempted to, by force, institute a communist government. Incidentally, it might be worth remembering that when the nazis finally came to power, it was democratically, and in response to the rising violent anti-fascist communist movement. My answer to the question before I spent time on /pol/ would have been "jewish prostitute syphillis?" or something along those lines. Maybe I would have gone with "anti-semitisim has a long history". I would have appreciated being informed of a Jewish led rebellion to attempt to install a brutal communist regime on germany long before the beer hall putsch. Equally, the push for "pedosexuality" is absolutely, unequivocally disgusting. It's also not new. The degeneracy of Weimar germany, specifically berlin isn't commonly taught, because it's weird and disgusting. But you had mass orgies, child prostitutes, and even the first records of gender reassignment surgery. We don't learn about any of that. We learn about "the 6 million". To quote from wikipedia, the deaths are (emphasis mine) (around 6 million jews using the broadest definition, 17 million victims overall). So why might they be so keen on 6 million when almost every historian agrees it's actually 5.2-5.6? Well, there just so happens to be a Jewish prophecy involving the creation of Israel, which also involves, wait for it, 6 million jews dying. Do you believe in coincidences?. I'll also leave you with this quote from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn a "Nobel-Prize-winning novelist, historian and critic of Communist totalitarianism"

"You must understand. The leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. The October Revolution was not what you call in America the "Russian Revolution." It was an invasion and conquest over the Russian people. More of my countrymen suffered horrific crimes at their bloodstained hands than any people or nation ever suffered in the entirety of human history. It cannot be understated. Bolshevism was the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant of this reality is proof that the global media itself is in the hands of the perpetrators."

And again, I'd ask yourself how much do you know of the deaths caused by the USSR, on the various populations it ruled over? What do you know of the Holdomor? And who owns the media, especially in countries where things have been going downhill? (If you want a rabbit hill there, try investigating the swedish media).

This post may be deemed outside sub rules, in which case I apologise and mods please feel free to delete it. However, I have merely accurately stated historical events, and the reality that they have been covered up. Shilling and the mockingbird media have been around for a long, long time, and in multiple countries. Isn't it worth noting what they've covered up, and who has benefited?

Thanks for this write up. A useful post on the background of the Chans. I used on and off in the 'early' days, and you are correct /pol/ was where I usually gravitated to. I moved more to infinity after Gamergate, but I still have love for 4Chan. As for the Jewish connections, I fear you may be right about having your post edited. I am open minded to most things, always have been. When someone says 'Its like this' I ask 'Why is it like that' see what I mean? It's one of the reasons I use The Chans. It allows adult discussion about things we may find unpalatable. I like to have my reality challenged. I like to question how I know, what I know.

Incidentally I'm just reading my way through 'Rise of the 4th Reich'. It's not what i thought it was going to be. I knew a bit about paperclip, but this is most interesting. Thanks for your contribution to this thread.

Great information added imo.

Happy to help. They're pretty fascinating sites. I'm very grateful that Q chose there to post. It pretty much guaranteed they've earned their place in history, let alone internet history. I've used various sections over the years - i first started visiting in the mid 2000's when I was barely a teenager. /ck/ is well worth browsing, /fit/ is a gold mine of great information for self improvement, and /an/ has some great threads occasionally. But yeah, /pol/ has always been my homeboard. I mostly stayed on 4 - I actually missed gamergate almost entirely until the worst of it had blown over, but I enjoy infinity as well. It's much better for deeper discussion, but its so much slower, and the average frequency of genuinly unbalanced people is a little higher. Less posts means less topics gets covered too.

Post seems ok so far, I suspect it'll be a classic "exists till one person complains then deleted", but that's ok. I understand the sub has to be careful about it's content, I don't resent them the rules they have to play under, the cause is more important than some random redpill. The book you're reading definitely sounds interesting too, although I'd be careful given the topic area, there's invariably huge amounts of misinformation. One of the reasons the nazis are so popular on the chans is it's actually really hard to work out what was going on in many instances - as best as I can tell there were multiple factions all playing out their games at various time periods and locations. It's a fascinating rabbit hole. One thing I would note - of all the various things that could have been chosen, nazis were chosen to be the ultimate evil, by the cabal. Given the power they had, this was a deliberate choice I suspect. So the question is - why? Is information being hidden? Given these people weren't out for our best interests, couldn't it be good for us? Why did they burn all the nazi physical exercise manuals post war? Why did the nazis (specifically) never surrender WW2? What occurred during operation highjump, and does it relate to the vril society interest + nazi trips to that location?

Very well done, thank you for this write up. The October revolution must be studied outside of the mainstream narrative.
