THE PICKLE IS STRANGE-

DAMMIT I KNEW I LIKED CASSIE AND CISSIE FOR A REASON

what your favorite Young Justice member says about you

I would like to preface this by saying: please don’t crucify me, this is just supposed to be in good fun

also I am queer and autistic, for context

@fictfrenzy

Having Said That….

Begin!

Tim Drake

you desperately wish for some kind of disease or diagnosis that would justify the pain and/or distress you feel

also your a disaster bisexual

and you have commitment issues

(and by that I mean you want connection but are terrified of intimacy if any kind)

Kon-El

Oh sweetheart…

Your childhood was Bad™️, and only now that you are out of that environment you are realizing it

also how’s that gender crisis going?

Bart Allen

AUTISM DIAGNOSIS ASAP

if you don’t already have one.

80% chance you also have ADHD

you relate to this silly little guy with your entire fucking soul. You are constantly confussed and distressed by the weird way the world is.

People also assume you’re dumb. You are NOT dumb.

Cassie Sandsmark

fffffffff—

yeah you’re gay. Just the gayest girl kisser to walk the earth. Just. So very gay.

also you have a complicated relationship w/ your gender and how you present

And you had a crush on/situationship with a best friend who either turned out to be straight, moved away and you lost contact, or both.

Cissie King-Jones

hello mommy issues haver. Hope finding yourself out of your mother’s expectations and shadow is going well.

you also may or may not have a very strong sense of justice that sometimes gets the better of you in the form of anger issues

also you are most definitely trans. What kind of trans? Who knows. Probably not you.

Greta Hayes

Honey you are inventing never before seen kinds of toxic yuri in your head

You’re seemingly sweet, but honestly kinda unhinged once people get to know you.

you have a basket of issues and you are doing your best to handle them, but sweetheart you should probably open up about that.

this explains so much.

i was so confused bcs as an internet baby i didn't know wtf 4-chan was, or why everyone was flailing around like a chicken with it's head cut off about it while also saying that they didn't see anyone else talking about (well, if you don't have a head you don't have eyes, do ya?)

All right, I know no one gives a shit, but let me give you a recounting of the fall of 4chan from the perspective of someone who was there and has been lurking both 4chan and tumblr for a few years now.

I'll try to provide as much context as I can, but a lot of images were either lost or im too lazy to look for them in the +5000 reply thread in soyjak party.

Anyways, info below:

So, necessary context: a few years back, 4chan had a board called /qa/, which if you know little about the page, you may think every board is like /b/ or /pol/, which means a containment cess pool of grifters, (you) baiters, incels, and other deranged individuals. The thing is, /qa/ was somehow worse. The entire board was plagued and infested with soyjack edits, board culture was a nuclear disaster, anons were incredibly hostile in there, you know the drill, the big bad 4chan, but this time its actually true.

One day, moderation deleted /qa/, anons that posted there got mad, tried to raid other boards, failed, and then moved on to an altchan called soyjack party, which entire purpose you can guess from its name alone.

Apparently, the boards that allow pdf uploads (paper and origami, for example) didn't check if the uploaded file was actually a pdf file, so postscript files could be used to get access. This is as far as my understanding of web backend goes, sorry.

The hacker claims to have been working on this since 2021, and that he had access since about a year ago, but was recopilating data.

Now, what actually happened when the hack ocurred? Well, a banner of miku dancing with a song that played automatically was placed on top of every board, with the text "/QA/ IS BACK", this was possible because apparently no board was ever deleted, they were just hidden from the public.

A thread was then made on soyjack party, claiming authorship over the hack, and shit went south from there. Anons went en masse to talk there, a lot of weird discussion happened, the thread got the bump limit removed and got pinned, more than 5k posts were amassed on the first night alone. Keep in mind this happened at about 8 pm and most of the stuff went on through midnight.

So, the hacker leaked some things, first of all, the html files for the entirety of /j/ and the email address for every moderation member (important note: the pressence of .gov mails was disproven by the hacker themselves, so i guess there were never any feds), what is /j/? the board exclusive for jannies and moderators to discuss actions taken on the website regarding spam, ban evaders, threads spiraling out of control, etc. Among other things, some of the inner workings of 4chan got revealed, such as the web extension for jannies that allows them to do their job easily, how reports are handled, and other stuff. (Anecdotically, some guy got permabanned for calling anons jews or n-words over a 100 times in the same few threads)

Then, the source code got leaked. Important to say, the hacker removed the part of the source code related to the captcha, as to not facilitate bot attacks on the future, and all information related to email verification or 4chan pass users information also got removed, so all in all users are safe.

What was found on the sourcecode? That it was old, mostly. Most boards used code that hasn't been updated since about 2016, and /flash/ used the exact same code from when it was created back on 2011.

From there, desuarchive, a site that archives threads that die from bump limit, opened a dragon ball general on ghost mode, and thus began what later got called /ghost/, a solely text based thread with well over 20k replies as of right now, where a fraction of the 4chan population took refuge and is currently discussing random things with no particular topic. Kinda hard to read, but its comfy.

What does this mean for other sites? Not a lot, really. A lot of anons already crossposted in 4chan and tumblr already, and the ones that din't most likely wont come here. Some of the bigger/most dedicated groups, like /vt/, migrated to other boards. Various altchans are trying/tried to catch some of the flock of users that got lost, but i doubt it will get anywhere, since soyjak party for example was struggling with just the influx of users that came for the hack thread given its poor infrastructure. Kiwifarms saw a surge of new accounts apparently, but a lot of anons kinda loathe the idea of having to register, so theres that.

Smaller communities, such as generals that didn't get a lot of traffic, or boards on the slower end (say, /ic/, /lit/, etc) will probably vanish or disseminate until (or if) 4chan comes back up. I'd say give it a month, don't get your hopes up whether you want it to stay dead or want it to come back.

Given how many anons are staying on places like /ghost/ or other similar archives with the same ghost posting feature, i doubt it will be as bad as people are making it sound. Besides, the communities that are most likely to migrate to places like tumblr are either /co/, /vg/ or /lgbt/ refugees, which aren't THAT bad. Not every board was like the main cesspools (/b/, /r9k/, /pol/). From now on, either 4chan comes back up in a few weeks (somewhere between 2 weeks to a month is expected), altchans capture the migrating anons, or a brand new imageboard rises from the ashes to become the new go-to site for old 4chan posters.

In conclusion, nothing ever happens, but also don't worry, chances are this won't affect tumblr in the slightest. If it does, you can cash in your "you were wrong" ticket whenever you want, i'll take the L. As a footnote, keep in mind: NO users were compromised, if you ever posted there and are worried for your safety, physical or digital, you are safe. Edit: Forgot to add, if you are a 4chan refugee, im BEGGING you to dm me and tell what board you were from and where are you migrating, if at all.

Yesterday, I drew a fem!zai, and it coincidentally looked like Yosano.

This got me thinking-

If Dazai was a woman, I think he would resemble Yosano sorta uncannily.

Man it makes me wanna smack Mori even more...
