4chan is a hub for misinformation and conspiracies. Its full of racist, misogynistic, and overall hateful content. That content is not moderated at all how you think it is. It is a breeding ground of hate.
But that hate is native to the US/West, it is not a Russian plot. How do you think the Trail of Tears and Tasmanian Genocides happened? Instigated by Russian bots?
Disagree mostly - while there are those boards, like /pol/ or /b/, there's also normal boards with ... I wouldn't say "normal" people, but relatively speaking, sane people.
4chan is barely moderated.
Overall, I saw a lot more hate on reddit than on 4chan. But mostly because I'm not a /pol/ user.
You forgot to list like eight other boards that have the most racist, the most sexist, the most rape promoting incels of all time
Reddit doesn't compare at all
Idk, there were a lot of subreddits spewing hate, and they were online for years before public pressure mounted and they shut it down. Hell, we had shit like "abuseporn" which was online for over 4 years until it was randomly found by a journalist and then shut down lmao.
Youll never change my mind that the content on reddit was ever more cruel or unmoderated. And 4chan has been around MUCH longer than reddit.
Unmoderated? No. Cruel? Yes.
I've been quite active on both platforms for over a decade. Reddit has definitely more cruel content and more cruel people.
Ive been active on both as well, but 4chan is more cruel. Agree to disagree. There is a reason cheese pizza is a term on 4chan. If thats not worse in your book, then ig you and I have different viewpoints of the world.
This the same reddit that hosted /r/jailbait for almost a decade?
Yes, that reddit
Oh my sweet summer child.
Sure, there are a lot of naughty opinions on 4Chan. But at the end of the day, people more or less accepted other opinions. This doesn't compare to the absolutely insane range people on subreddits like PoliticalHumor show when they encounter different positions.
