I’m guessing these are at least partly fake, the one in the middle is Belle Delphine’s fake mugshot when she faked getting arrested as a publicity stunt.

Unpaid mod, with less “powers” than a normal mod.

Oh yeah no shade at all, it’s cheap and efficient

By servers I assume we mean the pile of Mac Minis.

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.

The little theme tune he hums as he sprints towards the coffin is great.

This translates to fewer Patreon subscribers which means less opportunity and funding to create high quality videos

If there's an algorithm to game, and money to be made, I don't see how that's any different to self promotion. Boil it down and all that's happening is you are performing an action, so that more people see you, in the hopes that some of them will give you money.

The lack of an algorithm is a feature, I don't want content I havent explicitly asked for to be shown.

I doubt there's any such thing as backups, nothing on there is permanent that's why so many archive sites exist.

Sorry but, 4chan account? There's no such thing as that.

Not denying that Muskrat did this, but there's no such thing as an account on that site.

Yep and even better than that; most if not all residential ISPs use Carrier-grade NAT so one IP (which changes), now represents hundreds if not tens of thousands of their customers.

At the very best, you could maybe narrow an IP to a very vague geographical area like several suburbs, or a specific town maybe.

Call me a child, but peas are gross. The rest looks fantastic though.

Self promotion is a form of advertising, doubly so if it's done for the purpose of attracting revenue via some means. People can opt into it if they want via subscribing/following but it's still advertising.

So yes most "authentic" content is just people advertising themselves. I would prefer not to see that unless I have opted into it.
