What year is it?

- red-iron-pine 2y agothey're still pretty active on the *chan's, if I believe threat intelligence reporting. no surprise they're in 9GAG. also slashdot, hackernews, and various reddits. it call all be automated, and failing that, plenty of folks willing to do the "mechanical turk" approach and shitpost for pay.
- mamonster 2y agoThey are for sure on 4chan(AFAIK there is a pretty obvious propaganda thread that is updated daily), but I thought 9Gag was dead? Do people still get memes there?
- jazzyjackson 2y agomaybe its just the dev environment, lacking good antibot mechanisms they can test new delpoyments without showing their hand to reddit etc
