Complete rumour and hearsay from Discord, but allegedly a current/former mod is claiming they’ll relaunch sometime on the 21st but only about 1/4 of the boards will be up due to a lack of jannies.
The vulnerabilities found in the codebase were… sizeable to say the least. I assume the extended downtime is to patch the ones they can, and disable features for the ones they can’t + needing to replace a big chunk of the mods and jannies.
Wtf is a janny
Unpaid mod, with less “powers” than a normal mod.
Thanks. Is that a term specific to 4chan?
No. You can use the term jannies on reddit. Calling sub moderators jannies on reddit really triggers them. They know exactly what it means. It's their unpaid job to clean up the mess I make on their subs and they get paid nothing for it. It puts into perspective that being a jannie isn't cool
I sense Australia
They are a normal mod. If they're paid, they're admins.
In general terms Janitor are mods and other unpaid staff related to social networks. I really don't know how it applies to 4chan since I evaded that site like the plague.
Is somewhat believable really, I'll goosip it around and deform it according to protocol.
