Yes but no. If we have a dangerous censorious communist society, the id of 4chan and anonymous posting is one of the few weapons against the regime. Harsh truths that involve banning, debanking, censorship, with the powers of the printing press in the hands of the regime, manipulating womenfolk who were ever the most censorious of the regime
If we are no longer an openly moral society, not sure how 4chan isn't helpful in creating or finding wherever we go from here.
Anonymous and pseudonymous being linked versus real names and the current corporate climate hell of much of employment opportunites.
The problem was imageboards. A blessing and a curse because memes are so powerful, but removing the ability to post pictures/imglinks would take a huge weapon (CP) away from the people who keep trying to shut it down.
Kind of yeah. All the discordfags, jannies, and three letter agencies and friends had to do was flood it. Just like that, no conversation, no reach, no worry - "AnYtHiNg GoEs!" is terrible policy, which is why it is important to discriminate. The tactics involved are real, written, and are as old as forums themselves. Our spaces are shrinking, so fuck that.

Plenty of people do live in a censorious communist society, so 4chan could be working for them.
