• I occasionally check in on /b to see where the trend is, how open the white supremacy is and how much everyone hates / loves Trump (the vitriol is distilled and corrosive).

    Also how convincing the lifelike AI art / video is, which is one of those bleeding-edge hallmarks of cyberpunk. (Observing the rule that any new art medium will first be used for porn and then for malice before it drifts into the mainstream toolbox)

      I was there in the first Qanon post. I thought it was a genius troll and made a few bait posts myself. Then all the normies came over and started talking about bread on facebook. That’s when I knew the containment had been breached and we were in for a wild few years…

      That actually seems really scary, I’m thankful that the only people I know who were affiliated with 4chan are people I only know online or don’t live anywhere near me.
