Stop taking 4chan seriously. If you let yourself be enraged by their words, that's exactly what they want, and it means suffering for you. Never, ever show you are vulnerable to this. Do not feed the trolls.
- rini17 4y agoSo for you it's only "lighthearted trolling" without any influence in meatspace whatsoever? What has to happen to convince you otherwise?
- blueflow 4y ago> without any influence in meatspace whatsoever Why do you think meatspace is any better to begin with? Is it just you? 4chan is an online reflection of what always has been there.
- rini17 4y agoWhat thing similar to /pol/ was always been there, can you name an example please?
- blueflow 4y agoWorking-class people / blue-collars.
- rini17 4y agoDid they have communities like that?
- blueflow 4y agoThey are like that at work. No special "communities" or circles necessary.
- rini17 4y agoI as not asking about individuals. Do you have examples like qanon conspiracy or capitol insurrection that were organized by blue collars at work?
- blueflow 4y agoWhats your implication there? Do you believe that the qanon conspiracy or capitol insurrection were organized by 4chan?
- rini17 4y agoorganized on 4chan, not by
- dangerface 4y ago> Do you have examples like qanon conspiracy or capitol insurrection that were organized by blue collars at work? The JFK assassination conspiracy was a popular long before the internet existed and before qanon created a resurgence in that thinking. Most of the conspiracy stuff qanon spreads is lifted from mein kamf. The world existed before the internet and people are dumb as ever.
- rini17 4y agoAnd Mein Kampf was banned in some countries, and spreading passages from it is still problematic today.
- usrn 4y agoThe US has a decently long history of conspiracy theorists (and conspiracies to give them credit.)

If you let yourself be enraged by their words, that's exactly what they want 4chan is not some amorphous entity with no influence on the real world. Just like "You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you" can be true, so is the case with 4chan. For a more direct example of what could happen, check out the origins of the phrase "We did it, Reddit!"
- blueflow 4y agoI looked it up on KYM, and the Sunil Tripathi incident a pretty good reason to ignore Reddit, too.
- cowtools 4y ago4chan isn't interested in you unless you feed the trolls
- selfhoster11 4y agoThat, or you somehow unwittingly trigger the attention of the hive-mind. It doesn't take all that much. And if it happens to you, then they can successfully doxx you based on something as innocuous as a reflection on a photo [0].

- cowtools 4y agoWhat ever happened to personal responsibility? I think it died with "don't post your personal information on the internet", considering the way which young people use social media these days. Edit: the article you linked has nothing to do with the website being discussed here at all, or any website really. It's about a japanese man stalking some sort of celebrity by himself.
