  4chan started out in fame, as the incubator for anonymous, then things happened and groups splintered off to make thier own "sub board" . 7chan and 8 chan were a couple of these. now that 8chan is gone the users of 8chan are regrouping in familiar places, 7chan is one of them. 7chan has stikkied a no tolerance policy for the stuff that was happening in 8chan.org/pol/ what is an image board? not all image "chanboards' are like this but lax rules and ephemeral postings cause problems. its a lot like HN except it is the norm to post images with comments, usually heavy on the image side as a non text method of communicating like using emogis. very often memes, and in 4chan/b/, unseemly images of the most extreme sorts. its the sort of place that HN wants to be as opposite as possible regarding the toxicity hostility and open endorsement of crime as a gallows humour, [mostly] so the problem is people are constantly amplifiying antisocial[to say the least] sentiments and do serious damage to peoples psyches over long term.

      when you have a rolling blog like HN or a chan or pastebin each post gets stale older and demotes until it falls off "the end" of the thread and selfdestructs. stikkies are an admins/mods announcement and stay on top and are immortal so all can read it.
