Is there a federated alternative to 4chan?

Why on Earth would you want there to be?

The total anonymity aspect is seductive. Say anything without it being tied to any one user. Lots of toxic and nasty shit comes out of that, but also some crazy ideas and high concept stuff that might never gain traction because nobody wants to go on record about it.

There was one for a while. They tend to get defederated. Exploding Heads decides to move to Nostr and close their lemmy instance down

Also I imagine OP wants 4chan for the users/community and not the format.

Lurker checking in to acknowledge my shame. I like that the fediverse has better discourse than reddit and I want to contribute to it. It’s just that I have been a lurker for so long that it’s gonna take some time to start actively engaging.

Leave me alone, furiously masturbating in the corner over here.

Hey man, I’m all over the comment sections. I am no content creator, just an armchair critic and pundit. The peanut gallery is important too y’know. :)

X is heavily moderated compared to 4chan. Its just moderated to favor right wing views now. Plus the heavy amount of control the algorithm provides in shaping peoples content bubbles.
