to the extent containment works, it works when the contained are:

a small fraction of an overall coherent userbase (failed for 4chan, the original wave of anime thirst posters was already walking dead at its launch in retrospect as economic changes and a roaring post-9/11 comeback for the warrior-centric monomyth meant subsequent generations had completely different imprinting)

that never has a sudden unbalanced increase in the problem subset (failed for 4chan, where basically every other big forum coordinatedly dumped their chuds in 2013-2015 without any sort of reason for a left or even lib uptick)

and draws oversight from outside its own jenkum hotbox (failed for 4chan, content moderation outside of fielding calls from the fbi is basically entirely on the idiot king model)

some days i'm curious how a forum where you could punch morons, implemented as any user able to queue a sixer for themself AND the target, would work. but the answer is probably "instantly subverted by offsite brigading" these days.

patriot front has been particularly busy in DFW this week, with three flyer jobs so far and a highway banner drop, the latter of which was in south fort worth (predominantly latinx part of town) and caused a lot of agitation.

some local workers made a point of taking it down:

The best thing a kid like that can do, if they care about self-preservation, is take a page from my book, and kill the white man in their head.

this is a good post. it's really hard to impress how few moderators there were back in the first few years. *maybe* a dozen active guys. the lack of moderation was supposed to be a feature to encourage organic community but we quickly learned that people are loving trash. i absolutely don't blame moot for how it turned out. everyone was a lot more optimistic then about the potential of "Web 2.0." it was supposed to be a dumb little anarchist community of weebs and, again, welp.

I'm wondering whether he let the Nazis hang out there because they brought in a minute amount of ad revenue or because he's a poo poo lib who believes that you should never censor a fascist because you "need to defeat fascism with words".
