it could be the result of the forum running on long-unpatched software dating back to 2016.
It’s widely known that the current site owner doesn’t give a fuck about the site, and it’s de facto been led by the moderator “rapeape”. Sooner or later the site will die, financially it’s probably worthless, and I wonder where all those people will go. Maybe they could make a federated imageboard…
I don’t have much love for 4chan (I do like the curated green texts here, 5 minutes on the actual site was enough to never go back) but it makes me sad that a website is measured by profitability
TBH the impression I got from the greentexts that are posted on Lemmy and reddit is that they’re very inorganic, I believe many of them are written just to be reposted on reddit.
Well of course lots of sites are kept up through sheer enthusiasm, but in this case I don’t think either the 4chan userbase or the owner actually like the site a whole lot. (Though maybe I’m just projecting my own frustration after having spent too much time on that site.)

They’ll probably move to 8chan.
8chan got taken down years ago, multiple reboots of it have appeared but IIRC they’re all practically dead. So, not a likely candidate.
They moved to reddit in 2015.
