is there a federated platform similar to 4chan ie. topic boards with ephemeral linear message threads? i dunno how else to describe it but I like the 4chan format, it’s just got the worst people in the world on there (which I figure could be mitigated by the federated server type thing)

    @ShellMonkey@lemmy.socdojo.com you can make anonymous accounts for free on fedi, the best way to deal with it in both cases is to block tor and IP ban. either way i think freeze peach folks will avoid any platform with “woke” rules

        aye, but it’s content moderation in general. you can anonymize yourself easily on any platform, 4chan just attracts worse people because of the existing culture

          You can make anonymous accounts, but there’s a difference between ‘breadguy’ and ‘anon’. Who is literally everyone posting on the board. In the chan world so called namefags are shunned and not thought of as true channers. By having an identifiable name it gives you some measure of reputation, a name that you may hold some regard for, or at least that others could decide if they want to listen to or block.

            that’s true, but that’s also a culture thing. also I could spin up an account called 2567888654212255788@ sh.itjust.works with an email alias in a minute. at the end of the day it comes down to content moderation which is difficult regardless
