I really despise articles that claim that since someone posted on a website that has other questionable content, they must therefore be complicit. 4chan/8chan/8kun by nature are for "fringe" content, whether that be harmless conspiracy theories or actual bad actors.
We will never break free of the social media conglomerates with the current pattern that fringe content migrates to new websites first, but then these sites are slandered before regular people migrate there.
- iron0013 6y agoBecause I read the article, I know that the guy who got fired did not merely post on 4chan, but actually created his own Q-related website devoted to pushing the violent, treasonous, slanderous conspiracy theory into the mainstream. I enjoyed reading and understanding this article, and highly recommend that anyone who wishes to express an opinion about it do the same.
- NotSammyHagar 6y agoYes, thanks for saying thst. His actions according to the article were a lot different than he just had a quirky website.
- auganov 6y agoThe article mentions stuff totally unrelated to Q that also happens on these chan websites. As far as I can tell this is what the parent comment was talking about. The fact that Q only took off thanks to 3rd party aggregators only strengthens this point.
