Not sure if this is against the rules or not

The IPs of all janitors and admins have been leaked

4chan's entire tech stack is built of outdated and insecure myPHP

Not sure where the source code is from but I think it's the forum that did all of this in the first place

4chan is a hub for misinformation and conspiracies. Its full of racist, misogynistic, and overall hateful content. That content is not moderated at all how you think it is. It is a breeding ground of hate.

But that hate is native to the US/West, it is not a Russian plot. How do you think the Trail of Tears and Tasmanian Genocides happened? Instigated by Russian bots?

Disagree mostly - while there are those boards, like /pol/ or /b/, there's also normal boards with ... I wouldn't say "normal" people, but relatively speaking, sane people.

That content is not moderated at all how you think it is

4chan is barely moderated.

It is a breeding ground of hate.

Overall, I saw a lot more hate on reddit than on 4chan. But mostly because I'm not a /pol/ user.

You forgot to list like eight other boards that have the most racist, the most sexist, the most rape promoting incels of all time

Reddit doesn't compare at all

Idk, there were a lot of subreddits spewing hate, and they were online for years before public pressure mounted and they shut it down. Hell, we had shit like "abuseporn" which was online for over 4 years until it was randomly found by a journalist and then shut down lmao.

Sure, there are a lot of naughty opinions on 4Chan. But at the end of the day, people more or less accepted other opinions. This doesn't compare to the absolutely insane range people on subreddits like PoliticalHumor show when they encounter different positions.
