Do you have much experience with the chans? I've spent an embarrassing amount of time on them over the years, and my experience is that it would be ridiculous to compare the ratios of politically hateful, extremist content to normal content between Facebook and the chans. The difference is night and day. The chans are full of great, diverse content, but an absolutely solid core of their identity is inevitably dominated by the worst elements of society at any given time - it's just inevitable due to the nature of the format and rules.
- o_p 7y agoIf we are worried about hateful propaganda the ratio is not really a relevant measure, the chans have a small user base compared to social networks, propaganda in Facebook could have a massive reach, thats a bigger risk than a fringe group in their own circlejerk, people are just irrationally attacking what they dont know about, for fear and/or pushing the agenda.
