#22Dictionary.com's slang dictionary says[1]: > Chad is a usually disparaging internet slang term used for a popular, confident, sexually active young white male. Its female counterpart is Stacy, who is often portrayed as Chad‘s sexual partner. Use of Chad is associated with the incel community and the website 4chan to refer stereotypical alpha males.

Wether you like the origin or not (I don’t particularly care), I think it’s fair to argue “Chad” is pretty much common parlance on the internet at this point.

#23I like the idea of the site, but yeah, the entire vibe around it throws me off - 4chan vocabulary (peasant/chad), call for donations in an obscure cryptocurrency, fully anonymous. Maybe I'm doing the site injustice, but it smells like being run by some 4chan/ancap/"don't tread on me" bro.
I dislike the vocabulary as well but XMR is by no means obscure. It’s the most widely accepted fully anonymous crypto currency used on most darkweb markets

But what about the technical content? Why are you so quick to jump to identities. And donations are the best way to give money - nothing is locked away and you get to choose. This style of site/information should be celebrated.
I was mostly thrown off by the word "landchad", because "chad" does have a lot of bad connotations - at best it's childish, at worst it's associated with incels.
The technical content looks great and yeah, I can applaud the person's cause.
It's just that I don't think the challenges of running your own server were ever just technical - if people have a motivation to do something, they'll learn much more complex stuff. The thing is that there isn't a lot of motivation for ordinary people to setup (and maintain!) their own server if some cloud megacorp archieves the same. So I think, you also have to explain why you should want to run your own server as a non-nerd - and I think starting with 4chan might archive the opposite here.

I appreciate the irony.

‘Chad’ is common across the whole cyberculture and I’ve seen it used by many of my IRL friends: male, female, cis, trans, left, right and none of whom hate women or are incels.
It was popularized in the 2010s by ironic image macros like “the virgin ‘walk’ vs the chad ‘stride’ “

#27Useful but slightly odd to have a call for donations along with zero ability to see who runs it, how to contact them, etc.
Does it matter who runs it if it’s useful?

Oh great, that doesn't make it better...

"Chad" is a common word in Internet culture in general. Monero is also not "obscure" and the entire purpose is that it's anonymous.
The site's aesthetic wouldn't be my first choice, but I applaud the fact that's goofy and playful and not yet another boring, flat design that appeals to the lowest common denominator by not offending anyone.

If you wish to make a website from scratch, you must first invent the Internet.
