Something up with 4chan?
7 2018-04-24 by Sjwpoet
For past hour the front page of pol has been static, exact same posts, exact same order etc. Seems to just be a cached copy that is loaded nothing new coming up. Pretty confident it's not me as I've tried multiple browsers. Anyone else seeing this?

I'm looking at it now... but have no way of knowing if it's a cached copy. How do we determine if what I'm seeing is what you're seeing?

Update the browser and see if it has changed since you pressed f5?

Make a new thread there asking about it instead of Reddit?
1 IbDotLoyingAwright 2018-04-24
No?

It freezes every now and then, database errors being the reason.

4chan is down. It looks like the white supremacist terrorist in Canada was inspired by 4chan.
1 bradok 2018-04-24
Everyone is "inspired" by 4chan...that's a really pathetic excuse imo.

In his defense, he is the most legendary hacker of all time.

Never gets old. I do so enjoy the moments of levity here
1 mastigia 2018-04-24
I've never seen that. How did they cram so much stupid into that bit? Are they actually trolling us? Wtf.
1 TheMadQuixotician 2018-04-24
Hey! This is definitely one of my favorite "out of touch people being out of touch" moments. From the perspective of anyone with an understanding of 4chan, that was basically a SNL skit.
1 mastigia 2018-04-24
It is just phenomenal. Tech analyst? Roflmao. I just keep watching it, like this can't be real.

He was a white supremacist now? I thought he was just another depressed autistic virgin?

There's more to 4skin than /pol/
1 nuclearsprout 2018-04-24
Yeah some fuckery going on there.

Why do the D's want us to have no access to tranny porn?
Watch for the signs.

Don't they love Trump at that site? Our government is 100% Republican, U.S. Supreme Court, House of Representatives, the Senate and of course the President and his Cabinet.
1 supapete 2018-04-24
If you visit /pol/ it's a majority of support for "our guy". A lot of back and forth on what's posted but the tides are changing. Depends on what satire they feel like throwing out to rile someone up.
1 NebInNeb 2018-04-24
They may love Trump, but I certainly don't.
I did not serve in the Navy to defend his rhetoric and ilk.
1 LonerStonerRoamer 2018-04-24
Yeah it's been down at least 12 hours. infinity chan has had a containment post about it up for a while.
1 florpydorpal 2018-04-24
They've been targeting 4chan hard. Slide posts/shills everywhere. We just want a place to talk about things society forbids talking about, but when a place like that arises (such as this sub before the election), it also tends to discuss the crimes of the people who are used to being able to squash any and all discussion of their crimes, so they attack them with 20X the zeal with which they attack society at large.
The world we live in is a very broken one.

... or the major internet outage today also impacted 4chan.
1 florpydorpal 2018-04-24
*and
Always being so genuine and honest, /u/gaslightlinux. Good stuff. Keep it up.
1 gaslightlinux 2018-04-24
I'm serious. There was a major outage today with Route 53, which is DNS for AWS, which most of the internet runs on. I don't think this is something specifically targeting 4chan. I think it's a severe misunderstanding of technology and it's scope to suggest otherwise.
1 florpydorpal 2018-04-24
lol oh you
1 gaslightlinux 2018-04-24
I think you have a misunderstanding of my posts.
I'm interested in conspiracies, but I am interested in them being presented well.
These are the main problems I find with posts here:
(1) Technology. I work with technology, and I find a lot of misunderstandings involving technology here. I try to correct these errors or give/request more information.
(2) Too may meta-narratives. People will jump well beyond the topic at hand and note that it has to be Illuminati/Jews/Vatican/CIA/Mossad/Aliens. There is a lot of disagreement about who "they" are, and I think it does a disservice to argue about who the most powerful people are in every single post, especially given the disagreements.
(3) No need for evidence. The assumption that a discussion can just end at something like "and of course this is true/these people run the world/this is happening" without any attempt to explain why that should be the final conclusion.
(4) The Jews. It's really easy to just enclose everything with ((())). Even if the Jews are the end boss, just throwing them under the bus in every post doesn't help.
Probably some more ...
Basically I think that the community does itself a disservice by jumping to conclusions/meta-narratives. It doesn't help with anyone's understanding, it turns off those who might believe, and it doesn't make for much of a compelling argument. I want to challenge people to explain what they have to say and be able to stick to and defend their arguments.
It's all too easy to preach to the choir, but there's more than the choir here. There are people just coming to these ideas, and to get them to wake up, you need to do so effectively.

Man, you choose to behave very poorly in most of your interactions. I'm not engaging with you, specifically, because I've had too many chances to peak into what motivates you, to be frank.
1 gaslightlinux 2018-04-24
I'd be curious to hear what you think motivates me or how I behave poorly. One issue I have with this whole chain of reactions is you have given me very little to go on, you just mention my name as if I'm supposed to understand your innermost feelings about me. I'm honestly trying to engage with you. I think my previous post gave a pretty good explanation of where I'm coming from, but you left it unaddressed.
1 florpydorpal 2018-04-24
I know. When met with those who abide behaviors such as you abide, it is best to remain at arm's length. Giving sincerity to those who are unable to be honest is very tiring, and to be frank, you deserve to be largely ignored.
You have proven this to be a lie many many times in the past. I do not think you are capable of honesty in a real way. It is a skill, not a decision or an empty phrase.
1 gaslightlinux 2018-04-24
You have given me absolutely no way to respond to what you are saying, nor do I know what I would be responding to. I gave you information about the lens through which I engage with some people, but I don't think you've taken time to examine our interactions in light of that information.
1 florpydorpal 2018-04-24
That is, again, because I do not engage sincerely with dishonest and insincere people.
1 gaslightlinux 2018-04-24
Oh, I looked into it and why you're mad. You're a full blown nazi and I called you out on it.
Did you know you say Jew/Jewish/Zionist/Israel almost as much as you see "People" (this is the most common word for most People.) In fact the words you use most commonly show a clear pattern of hatred.
Ok, your filled with hate. I called you out for being filled with hate and antisemitic. You deny this and call me a liar. My duplicitous tactics of using your own words. The reason to hide of course is your own duplicitous tactic. To make sure the uninitiated will not know whether or not you are joking, right? Enjoy the recruiting drive.
I know a lot about crypto, and I don't just mean blockchain technology. (also seems like I know a bit about technology as well.)
1 florpydorpal 2018-04-24
Predictable.

always been happening
much worse this year than previously
4chan has a history of being simple and stable. Rarely does it deviate from its standard operating procedure, but this year it has been experiencing a huge amount of glitches/bugs.
I'm wondering if 4chan got bought out or hijacked
1 florpydorpal 2018-04-24
meh oooookie dokie then. Pattern recognition is something you can't force a person to be able to do, so hey, you do you.
1 gt- 2018-04-24
i was agreeing with you except for the shills part
1 florpydorpal 2018-04-24
Yeah man, shills tooootally aren't a thing. lol
1 gt- 2018-04-24
bro, fucking read my post. i said the shills have always been everywhere and i just trying to add on that shills arent a recent thing
1 gaslightlinux 2018-04-24
Route 53 was down. This is a major part of the internet.
