            There are perfectly fine people on 4chan. Nothing about 4chan itself is even close to Nazism. It’s a diverse message board. The worst scum of humanity posts there, but as this image literally shows, there are perfectly normal conversations there, a lot actually.

                I think there’s a pretty big difference between an anonymous website that lets the hateful and the edgy post whatever awful words they want, and the top down corruption of a giant established algorithm driven site used for communication around the world.

                    Moderation and intent are big parts of the difference too.

                    I don’t use 4chan but I gather that it’s a wild little corner of the internet where you can put whatever crazy shit you wish on a website that others will read, knowing what they signed up for. Basically anything goes so you get all types. You might even call it free speech absolutism.

                    But Twitter is actively moderated and algorithm tuned to favor a certain flavor of bias and, especially given the players involved, propaganda.

                    One is neutrality even in the face of humanity’s worst, and the other is actively siding with and promoting humanity’s worst.

                Sure, and there are plenty of good people still on Twitter/X. Don’t label people based on sites they use or people they affiliate with, label them based on their actual actions, otherwise you’ll be more wrong than right.

                this guy is so close to realizing that just because a few assholes hang out somewhere doesn’t mean the entire space is a toxic shithole

            Okay, so you’ve never been on 4chan, you know nothing of it’s quite long and colorful history. You heard a few things and went straight to “well, Hitler!”

            You must be fun at parties 🎉

            It’s like asking why society deserves mosters that it creates.

        First of all, that’s absolute bullshit(but I won’t discuss about that with you, since you already made clear that you clearly lack the ability to think about more complex things), but also even without 4chan teenagers can turn into absolute fucking monsters that will bully everyone who’s slightly different and ruin their lives.
