Hi /g/, I never come here and I'm technologically illiterate in general, but how do I set up my own imageboard?
>>109646089GPT, generate imageboard.
>>109646089ask claude "set up my own imageboard"
You get a server, add a hash scanner to stop illegal images, a captcha to stop bots and use a threading algorithm to store posts. You're most likely going to use PHP or Ruby for the actual code.
just run a forum or a textboard. seriously. don't even bother with images.
>>109646089Put in a resource request to the appropriate channels in the bureau.
>>109646572or allow images when there are at least 9000 mawds watching but then set those boards to require mawderator review when there are 8999 or less. When they are allowed permit most file types and hundreds of MB.
>>109646572also don't automatically turn all links into anchor tags, you don't want to give cp link posters the power to nuke your search engine visibility
I'm currently writing the best imageboard software ever made. If you're interested in being a part of it at the risk of serious litigation, post your matrix ID.
>>109646089>I'm technologically illiterate in generalPerfect, you'll fit right in here. Welcome aboard.
Question is, why do you want to run an imageboard? Who's it for? What's it got that 4chan (or another altchan) doesn't have?
When you do make one, list it here: https://altchan.org/t/21
>>109647187Oh some more details:* Uses Postgres* Redis* No jQuery* Content moderation* WILL release as AGPLv3,* Contributors Covenant * Might be sued, could even be precedent setting>When will it ship?When it's ready.
>>109647254I see you shilling your website... looks nice but I don't see it catching on
>>109647268>looks niceThx, vibe recoded someone elses work>I don't see it catching onMe neither but I want to give people a place to shill their site for the feels and that will persist until the age of Aquarius.
>>109647295>Me neither but I want to give people a place to shill their site for the feels and that will persist until the age of Aquarius.Wew. The scope of what I'm working on is very big. It will take a long time with just me but I'm making solid progress. I have a very very high standard of security for this project, at least with regard to making sure that people stay banned. It might be invasive, and it definitely has a massive amount of tracking, analytics, behavioral analysis data, HTTP signature fingerprinting, behavioral correlation, etc.but when I release it, it will function. You will be able to post anonymously, but not to whoever runs this.
>>109647332Sounds complicated.
>>109647341Yep it is. And that's fine. Systems can be complicated. Systems can be simple. This imageboard system will not be a simple one. This one will follow the patterns of big companies, despite being used for small platforms. It will track and each and every single thing possible within reason that its users do, and it will gather the data, clean the data, organize the data,and basically just yeah. It's effective moderation.Luckily small platforms do not have to follow the laws big platforms (such as 4chan) do.
>>109647355>Luckily small platforms do not have to follow the laws big platforms (such as 4chan) do.Sounds very dark web. Does this platform cloak people with a mana shield?
>>109647370No it's not dark web. it'll be clear web. If and when it the software releases it'll have the same rules as mastodon verbatim. https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/Rule/#example
>>109647391Correction: The software will be licensed under the rules of the AGPLv3, but the platform will have the rules of Mastodon's linked example, verbatim.
>>109647391>"text": "No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, xenophobia, or casteism.",Is casteism that class based thing in India? Never quite understood any of that stuff.
>>109646089First you have to ask Epstein. Like what Moot did
>>109647511I would imagine Mossad have a detailed client list. Prolly why we in Iran but thats a discussion for another board.
Image board up yet? AI should have done this by now.
>>109646089no one will post on your ib, unc, this is not 2007
>>109646089If you're technologically illiterate, don't even bother. You should at least understand what web hosting is if you're seriously considering this.But it's seriously not worth it.At best, you'll get a small userbase but not enough to pay the bills or make the site worth using.At worst, your imageboard will get spammed, typically with CP, to make it unusable or force you to take it down lest you suffer legal action.
>>109646089Take everything this site does and do the opposite.
>but how do I set up my own imageboard?Just use vichanhttps://comfy.guide/server/vichan/Yes, the repository is archived. But it still works, so...
>>109648721>Just use vichanthis or one of these https://github.com/kennell/imageboards
>>109648212well you definitely haven't seen any other ib than 4chan
>>109648650>At worst, your imageboard will get spammedadd a review queue for the times the mawds are asleep. Trivial vibe code change to any of the existing chan platforms.
I've thought about doing that but what for? Look around, 99% of the content is here is schizo ragebaitYou would need to make substantial improvements to it
>>109647187That's funny, I'm also writing the best imageboard software ever made.post email, pussymash@fuze.page
>>109654751what are your features?
>>109654772The only thing that seperates mine is livestreaming. Also the host can choose between postgres or SQLite for the database. I want people more experienced with imageboards to help me work on it, because they would know what features to put in, especially to do with moderation.https://github.com/Liteb0t/Mediaboard
>>1096502114chan is the only useful ib, the rest are dead
>>109654751runit@runit.lol
>>109655060even if mine only has 1 post every 10 years and that post is from me, then I'm good.
>>109655221YOU'RE runit? i'm starting to have second thoughts...I'm still interested in what you're doing differently though. I won't contribute to a vibecoded project but I like ideas.
>>109655299Post your matrix ID then.
>>109655412@yevgenyprigozhin:matrix.orgKnow that i rarely ever check it. I made the account to contact one anon but he/she never responded.
>bait threadI'll still join in>>109647370Not dark web at all. Any dark website worth its salt typically runs fine without javascript.And what >>109647229 said too, why?>>109655236I've been posting on one every couple of years, a couple months after my own posts the owner gets back. It's kinda nice, surprised that they even check it.
>>109647257>* No jQuerywtf
>>109656284yeah of course no jquery. es6 has that covered now. i just really do not like jquery.
>>109656287ES6 is over 10 years old. How fucking much do you hate jquery to point this out over 10 years later? How did jquery hurt you? Do you have $(jquery) PTSD?
>>109646089Look up imageboard software that already exists (Do not use the 4chan board leaks, 4chan is one of the worst coded imageboards out there) and go from there. The most popular one that's also the most well documented is Vichanhttps://github.com/vichan-devel/vichanBefore you make it public, be SURE you have some kind of anti-botting measure in place. Also be sure you have some way to watch it 24/7 because it will get cheese pizza spammed on it within an hour of it going live.
>>109655236based
>>109651075I think vichan has a manual review option, never tried it.
>>109646089Hey, I want to create mine too; I'm planning to wait until I'm 18 to buy the domain and VPS from Hostinger—seriously, it's totally worth it. And regarding the setup, I'd ask ChatGPT to help you out. Don't stop dreaming, anon! ;")
>>109656362excellent bait.
>>109656308i just really do not like jquery
>>109656359I added a mawderator review queue to picochan. Have not tested it much but keeps the bad things from touching the disk.
>>109647187>>109654751That's a real funny coinkydink because I'm actually building the best imageboard software ever and my stack looks nothing like either of you niggas.
>>109656346>it will get cheese pizza spammed on it within an hour of it going liveI do not get any kind of pizza on mine. It's been live for a couple weeks whilst I have been adding features to it. I don't think that stuff exists. Glowies likely made it up. Or maybe its cuz I block cell phones. Maybe the Epstein types use cell phones.
it's cheap as fuck because all the software is still stuck in 90s mode, pruning without first-party archivesto be fair we're going back to 90s $/Gb storage pricing anyway
>>109646089>zero mention of a logoFine. I'LL make the logo.
>>109657335Dont forget meatball.
>>109657388
>>109656449Yeah, I tried doing without jquery once as an experiment, and it turned out I had to do so much element editing that I had to write a shim regardless to allow for chaining. Like how in jquery you can do $('.element').addClass('lol').removeAttr('disabled').on('mousedown keydown', function() {}); etc. Sure you don't -need- to do it, but it makes the code more compact.also iirc the jquery code is like 90% the ajax module and the insane complex queryselector they have that makes things much simpler. Everything else is just a bunch of simple loop functions.
>>109646089Use chatgpt or claude.You can also use kimi k3.Make sure to do a planning phase (/plan).Ask yourself what you want this to do (scale etc).Choosing the systems you use for this matters and it is much easier to spend the time at the start to figure it out.
