There's a KnowYourMeme [0] post with additional details and context. Most interesting to me is finding out that there' s a word filer / transformer, so SMH becomes BAKA and TBH becomes DESU, as two examples. [0] https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/april-2025-4chan-hack

Yep, it’s been that way for 20+ years!

The term “weeaboo” as a term for western anime fans only came about because it was what the word “wapanese” filtered to. It was originally a nonsense work made up in a Perry Bible Fellowship comic.

Isn't it a running joke that the Jannies don't get paid?

> Isn't it a running joke that the Jannies don't get paid? You're think about reddit and why it is the way it is from an editorial perspective and what kind of people have the time to mods 100+ subs for free... But that ceased to be true long ago. While some of the supermods aren't paid by reddit directly, they might be paid by other orgs to mod and influence reddit, corporate or 'grass root'... Some others simply hi…

What does Reddit have to do with this?

"Jannies" (janitors) are pseduo-mods on 4chan (the subject of the linked thread) who clean up posts and do other work, for free. Actual 4chan mods are paid.

We've heard it time and time again that 4chan is the so called "last bastion of free speech on the internet" when this so called free speech is just being unapologetically racist and antisemitic. I hope its gone for good.

you think these are akin to endangered species? these are humans collectivizing and cloaking under maladaptive pretenses. you're advocating for empowering polio because it is life and deserves a chance.

If you lamented the disappearance of the "old internet", well, this was a part of it, and now it may be gone too. The title is also a fair bit understated. They're leaking the moderators home addresses and work contact info (for admins, who are(were?) paid moderators)

I grew up on IRC, had sites on Geocities and Angelfire. That was the old internet people miss, not 4chan.

I think we can lament the old internet and still care nothing for 4chan.

Why? I am not pleased with the government forced pills such as TikTok, Twitter and other such shite shoved down my throat.

You may enjoy the walled garden, I for one don't. Such sites gave you a hole to get away from the dystopian view that these gardens hold.

They gave independence away from forced control.

Is the source code which leaked everything one would need to host their own copy of the site?

The site has an API for reading posts [0]. It works (worked?) quite well. For making posts, you'd need to write your own functionality that forwards the CAPTCHA and post timers.

Halfchan's likely been around longer than you have and will just as likely remain around long after you're gone

Free isn't a kind of speech, it describes a condition under which speech is performed. Their question was what kind of speech is being alluded to.

Their question was a gotcha attempt, and a misguided one at that, hence the answer specifically not playing along.

Once you've made this many comments about it and are still unwilling to describe the acts you're defending I would certainly call that playing.

I feel too many people conflate /pol/ with the whole website. I enjoyed browsing through sfw boards like /tg/ (tabletop media), /ck/ (cooking) and /fit/ (fitness). I had long discussions about the SW sequels on /tv/ back in 2015-19. The readership was surprisingly diverse and the anonymity lead users to provide more focused replies. With bodybuilding.com gone, the blue boards felt like the last bastion of the old int…
