is there a federated platform similar to 4chan ie. topic boards with ephemeral linear message threads? i dunno how else to describe it but I like the 4chan format, it’s just got the worst people in the world on there (which I figure could be mitigated by the federated server type thing)
Any place with anonymous/ephermal account and posts as the default is going to attract the worst people in the world…
While we all know you’re correct the sheer number of memes that can trace their origins to 4chan shows that anonymous, ephemeral content is pretty powerful.
and you can just have stricter rules!! it’s not impossible!
Tbf if you do have stricter rules the cesspit people would just move on
federated boards and servers with stricter rules against hate speech would make moderation better
How exactly? You can’t just say “better because fedi”, that’s a non-answer.
stricter rules per instance is self explanatory, and moderation would be spread out more
We basically already have that here with how effortless it is to make accounts
