That’s why we’re not anonymous here and not pretending to be nazis. Also, the actual bad shit did take a while to take over and push out the anarcho-creativity of the mid to late 2000s. In 2010, My Little Pony Friendship is Magic started and became the phenomenon it was, not least because of 4chan - that should tell you how many very decent people were still there. I genuinely think it’s sad that people only remember the later years of 4chan and I think adopting a bit of its original spirit could be good for Lemmy.
Well yes, now. I’m talking specifically about what it was like almost 20 years ago and taking the best parts of that anarcho spirit that co-created the internet.
Actual, genuine nazis were few and far in between back then. A more innocent time.
The problem is that when you have a community of people pretending to be nazis, it makes it a lot easier for real nazis to show up.
I mean, they literally coordinate shit like that on StormFront and whatnot

All I remember about 4chan is being doxxed and have my grans house terrorized… I would be happy to see 4chan dissappear.
That’s definitely a part of it that we don’t want to bring back.

It still feels like half of the users are like this though. Especially if you scroll through the comments and see all the racist and nazi things
