Welp, that's all folks. The internet is mostly bot activity now, including 4chan.

They were probably the only ones in a position to actually reveal what they found. No company who is clutching onto an existing userbase will ever admit that they have been overrun by bots.

>We faced an unprecedented bot problem

>When the Digg beta launched, we immediately noticed posts from SEO spammers noting that Digg still carried meaningful Google link authority. Within hours, we got a taste of what we'd only heard rumors about. The internet is now populated, in meaningful part, by sophisticated AI agents and automated accounts. We knew bots were part of the landscape, but we didn't appreciate the scale, sophistication, or speed at which they'd find us. We banned tens of thousands of accounts. We deployed internal tooling and industry-standard external vendors. None of it was enough. When you can't trust that the votes, the comments, and the engagement you're seeing are real, you've lost the foundation a community platform is built on.

>This isn't just a Digg problem. It's an internet problem. But it hit us harder because trust is the product.

I think it's time for a reset. Maybe time to get off this shit hole for a while and rediscover the real world. Maybe head to fediverse communities - maybe those will end up botted too.

It's been fun.

Other than the fact that a server can block other servers at random, so you end up needing an account on every isolated server, therefore completely defeating the whole point of federation?

I don't know about how they are on the Fediverse because I'm not online enough to put in the time to get into them, but after a decade of watching trans people take over tech spaces I noticed that they tend to use intentional disregard for user friendliness as a form of gatekeeping. I've seen some complaints in vidya-related spaces about a lot of mods now being hosted on GitHub where it's hard to tell where you're supposed to click to download the mod you want unless you're a SWE who's worked with GitHub a bunch before. So it becomes easy for the average FTM who is likely a SWE to get mods, but a normie who shouldn't even be exposed to GitHub in the first place now has to figure shit out.

Trannies are one of the main reasons the internet went to shit. That is one of the reasons you are so hated, of which there are many.
>>
>>108387698
And trannies are men that are trying to attract other men. And it seems to be working because they live in the minds of rightists rent free 24 hours a day. So basically everything points to white conservative men ruining the internet, which is common with everything they touch.

I dont want to communicate on someones private property.
If i send a letter to someone, i don't want the post office to randomly decide to drop it, because some dude just had a hissy fit.

If you want to be a private circlejerk on your private property, that is fine, but then don't whine about the lack of users.
Enjoy your space with your four tranny friends. Why advertise it on 4chan if you don't want anyone to join?
If trannies would keep by themselves in their own little spaces, nobody would have an issue. Everything would be fine.
But that is not what happens. They want to push their shit on others.
>>
>>108385562
As you can see from the replies here, BOTH the pro- and contra-fediverse people agree that the fediverse is only little private fringe circlejerks.
One side says thats a good thing, the other side says its bad.

People want a public platform, the fediverse isn't a public platform.
It's like asking:
> you need a new toothbrush? How about a banana!
Its a completely different thing.
If i want a private circlejerk, i can go to discord or make a whatsapp group or host a phpBB forum, where i only let my friends join. There are thousands of solutions if you want that.
But there are no public platforms that arent bot riddled or glowfag owned.

Pizzagate was real.

It took you ten years. But finally you realize that chuds were always right.
Could it be that they are right about other things as well?
>>

No it wasn't you loon. If anything pizzagate was a diversion tactic to make all the Epstein shit that victims were speaking about since the 80s look ridiculous. Alex jones is such an obvious glownigger fed

So chuds are pro-pedophilia now and the tranny groomer thing was all a projection and misdirection?
>>
>>108388054
Anon, there is not even one single message in the Epstein files where they actually really say "oh yeah, lets meet up to fuck children!".
Not even one.
But instead you get tons of mails where they use food terms to describe it.

>>108388161
Well, in the ones that Trump's FBI/DHS released to the public anyway. They only released 3% of the files lmao
>>
>>108388155
chuds:
>pedophilia is wrong and elites rape children
trannies a few years later:
>yes, you are right

Where in this exchange do you project pedophilia support onto chuds?
Is it because you hate chuds, and since you now know that they are correct, you say that somehow, for some reason, chuds would have changed their mind as well, just to keep the yingyang alignment?
Or what is this mental illness about?

You mispelled kike.
>>
>>108388172

Have you ever noticed that conservatives are the ones who are into that sick child beauty pageant bullshit that pedophile Trump was involved in? I think rightism and christianity is just a front for pedophiles to project their sins onto others while pretending to be righteous. At the end of the day they're just sick individuals who are guilty of monsterous shit and should be throw in prison.
>>
>>108388319
Oh absolutely.

"Every conservative accusation is actually a confession." This simple saying never, ever fails. If they accuse others of doing it, they are doing it. It's part of their playbook. It's a rule at this point.
>>
>>108388268
You are aware that "progressives and socialists" got killed by faggots and trannies?
Progressives are neutered and toothless now, thanks to their elite-inducted obsession with cultural war stuff.
There is no "Left" anymore. If you want a Left back, you need to kick out cultural war obsessed troons and faggots.

The right doesn't have that problem yet. Chuds have no issue shitting on Trump. They do it. They call Trump a pedophile jew puppet.
Meanwhile Trump justifies his Iran war with women rights and gay rights.

Chuds are the one and only current side that stays consistent.
They knew pizzagate 10 years ago, they wanted the Epstein files 5 years ago, and they still want them now.
Meanwhile trannies only started to want them when Trump died them. They didnt give a flying fuck about Elites raping children before, they just now pretend to care because of Blue vs. Red.

Note that people prefer to call you tranny rather than lefty.
Because everybody knows that your current movement-of-the-analsex-receivers has fuck all to do with lefties from over 10 years ago.

These retards all universally sold you out over Covid. Everything we're facing now is a direct result of these same people getting on their hands and knees and sucking the cock of government and big business as they were grabbing infinity tax dollars at their expense. Violently defending them to the death as they were doing so.

The only reason RAM costs so much, consumer electronics is dead, and the internet has next to no freedom is because they unconditionally surrendered when the funny TV men waved the right colored flag in front of their faces. They're even more braindead than MAGA. They outright saw social media companies building the AI empire by using dollars taken from the government through bailouts to buy all of the hardware in existence and very few of them gave a shit until the TV man was replaced with an orange man.

I didn't see a single Leftoid disagree with Big Pharma or the regime during CoViD.
But shortly after, they celebrate Luigi for killing that social insurance dude. The dude from a company that massively benefited and exploded in wealth thanks to Obamacare.

Somehow MAGA managed to reject the vax, even though that Trump shilled it.
Which proves that they have more mental capacity than leftoids.
Ever saw a leftoid disagree with his leader? I didn't.
