Earlier quoted context omitted.

Very poorly named though - one person does not an echo chamber make. They should have named it shadow-banned, because that is what it is doing.

Haha, it should use ML to generate responses that align with the posters comment xD

I’ve seen sites scraping 4chan continuously, and just republishing the chat in a different aesthetic.

The strange thing was that you could post to the site, and it would be persisted there, but it wouldn’t get forwarded to 4chan. So you could post effectively, and see continuous conversation, but no one would ever respond. An odd form of self-inflicted hellbanning.

Comments are helpful to get feedback and fix typos on my posts, but I turned it off on my blog after over 100k comments approved manually in the last 20+ years because of a spam issue. I got 400 spam comments per minute despite using the paid version of Akismet and keyword block list on a self-hosted WordPress blog.

Probably you were targeted if you got 400 spam comments per day. Check out OOPSpam.
