is there a federated platform similar to 4chan ie. topic boards with ephemeral linear message threads? i dunno how else to describe it but I like the 4chan format, it’s just got the worst people in the world on there (which I figure could be mitigated by the federated server type thing)
Yeah, was kind of clunky worded way to say ‘no ID’, /. Has screen names but in chan world everyone is the same ‘anonymous’. When everyone is faceless and nameless people tend to let the ugly out with ease.
edit: I’m not a regular of /. but it looks like there are ‘Anonymous Coward’ responses, but they’re more the exception than the rule. I’m sure the mods there have some measure of trolls to deal with.
