Are you aware that 8chan (not kun) is in possession of a vibrant latin community (6/20 top boards), a well attended board devoted to the discussion of videogames, and another to comics, amongst other things? Looking at it right now, the politics board ranks around 20th in popularity. They may be right wing, but they're not fixating on it all that much.

They don't want to hear that imageboards aren't really any different than Reddit. The only significant difference really is VC backing and being owned by someone socially acceptable. Elon's doing a good job piercing that veil with Twitter though.

> 8kun, previously called 8chan, Infinitechan or Infinitychan (stylized as ∞chan), is an imageboard website composed of user-created message boards. An owner moderates each board, with minimal interaction from site administration.[1] The site has been linked to white supremacism, neo-Nazism, the alt-right, racism and antisemitism, hate crimes, and multiple mass shootings.[2][3][4] The site has been known to host child pornography;[5][6] as a result, it was filtered out from Google Search in 2015.[7] Several of the site's boards played an active role in the Gamergate controversy, encouraging Gamergate affiliates to frequent 8chan after 4chan banned the topic. 8chan is the home of the discredited far-right QAnon conspiracy theory.[8][9][10] But they have a vibrant latin community so... it's all good?

  I specifically said 8chan, not kun, they're different; there is currently an 8chan and an 8kun.

Yes kun, 8chan hasn't existed since 2019. 5/10 of the top boards are Qanon driven, and the main Qanon board has more traffic and users than the rest of the top 50 boards put together. Nobody is going to 8kun to discuss vidya, the proof of this being that most of the thread images 404 since an image hosting server crashed last year and Ronanon hasn't sourced either a backup or a replacement. Weaksauce.

  Incorrect, there is an 8chan right now, in addition to 8kun. It's at 8chan.se.

When hotwheels created 8chan it was already dogshit and a meetup place for racists who thought that /pol/ was not racist enough. Watkins' takeover has made it pretty much only QAnon conspiracy KKK type shit. sage
