TBH the impression I got from the greentexts that are posted on Lemmy and reddit is that they're very inorganic, I believe many of them are written just to be reposted on reddit.

Well of course lots of sites are kept up through sheer enthusiasm, but in this case I don't think either the 4chan userbase or the owner actually like the site a whole lot. (Though maybe I'm just projecting my own frustration after having spent too much time on that site.)

But the other huge chunk is rabidly antisemitic. This is more about those types.

No, Hexbear was literally blocked in China.

8chan got taken down years ago, multiple reboots of it have appeared but IIRC they're all practically dead. So, not a likely candidate.

I have no idea how much money 4chan which would determine whether it’s worth the effort at all.

Spoiler alert: it's not worth the effort.

In recent years there have been some feeble attempts at monetisation, but it was probably a failure.

If this is the end of 4chan, it would be the most significant de-platforming of extreme right-wing internet users since Kiwi Farms temporarily went down in 2022.

Funnily enough Kiwifarms is also contributing here by doxxing 4chan moderators.

it could be the result of the forum running on long-unpatched software dating back to 2016.

It's widely known that the current site owner doesn't give a fuck about the site, and it's de facto been led by the moderator "rapeape". Sooner or later the site will die, financially it's probably worthless, and I wonder where all those people will go. Maybe they could make a federated imageboard...

The issue that the article raises is legitimate, but actually looking through their archives is baffling, they're really just hellbent on shitting on WP. One of their most read articles says Wikipedia should attract more female editors by reducing the anonymity on the site and making it more like a social media platform. What the hell? https://wikipediocracy.com/why-women-have-no-time-for-wikipedia/

They are both influenced by woodcuts of expressionist style, such as that of Emil Nolde.

I wonder if he's ever actually enjoyed and been sincerely enthusiastic about video games, or he's just playing them in a pathetic attempt to come off as cool and attractive to younger generations.

but instead of finding a path toward healing

You might even say, he's ended up on a... path of exile.
