It's pretty standard 4chan-NEET fare, for anyone who is wondering. Racism, homophobia, xenophobia, trad wives, and quasi-pro-nazi shit.

Not worth your time to check out. Small community of sad nerds.

4chan wasn't like that before 2015. Well, except for the racism part. It was leftish/libertarian.

It's also the easiest "social media" platform to game. You don't have to make up a history for each user. You don't have to get upvoted. You don't even really need to make sense.

And to think, the Q shit started on these sites.

Hell way back in the day, 4chan was one of my go-to websites, before the joking and trolling on /b/ really wasn't joking and trolling any more.

Back before people who weren't joking started to join in

Right. The really early oughts, when trolling was still a real thing, were so radically different that it's hard to explain to people these days
