Yes, but you're missing the point. Twitter has a central authority to appeal to and say "please ban this stuff from your service", so Twitter gets a bunch of appeals to do that. 4chan deliberately refuses to even pretend to control its content or listen to appeals to ban offensive material, so people resort to calling for banning 4chan entirely.

I got your point but I do not think you got mine, Twitter censors and bans particular people for using certain phrases or terms that go against their ideology, this was confirmed by tim pool and jack dorsey, so when at the top of the pile you have a system that bans and censors only certain people and lets others get away with the same offences, that is no control, that is no accountability, they even admitted that they allow people to break the rules if they are famous enough, that is worse than no censorship to me, one lets you say what you want with a couple of exceptions (4chan) and the other can randomly ban you for seemingly random reasons then NOT apply those same rules to another person, but that appears to be about to change, legislation in the UK is about to hit twitter and facebook and force them to be platforms and it looks like the same is about to happen in the US.

Sure, I suppose if you enjoy swimming around in the sewer and take pride in how much you're getting everywhere then 4chan is appealing for that kind of thing. Personally I don't understand the appeal of having the ability to click a link and not be sure if it's going to be a 40k list discussion or Nazi propaganda or just graphic photos of murder victims, but I suppose everyone has their variety of masochism.

Thats the point though, its my choice, from my google fu I have seen that /pol is the one to avoid and is what you think the whole site is and a couple other pages that have shady stuff but otherwise 4chan seems to be a pretty open place like Dakka, I will check it out.

That's also an option. And please note that I'm not advocating banning 4chan. Unlike Twitter removing material the company doesn't like the government (or ISPs acting as an extension of the government's authority) blocking access to 4chan would in fact be a free speech violation. I'm just pointing out why people do call for banning the site even if they don't call for banning Twitter/Facebook/etc.

those people are hypocrites then, but who isnt haha

By posting irrelevant spam nonsense for the sole purpose of annoying the moderators, yes.

Are those pics spam, I thought it was a warhammer total war slann with a pepe head? but sure if its against the rules he should stop.

But yeah, the keyword that's been said about Twitter is 'token' accountability.

Please do not post images that contain swearing - ingtaer.

Twitter to enforce their rules and ban the Nazi accounts

Nazi propaganda

You seem very focused on this. Tell me what percentage of the American public do you consider to be Nazis?

Sure, I suppose if you enjoy swimming around in the sewer and take pride in how much

Honestly i've never seen so much high school level drama as on twitter.

I'm told 4chan has finally done something about the illegal pornography problem, so at least you probably won't be getting on any FBI watch lists anymore.

Twitter is full of pro pedophile accounts. Their were people posting about illegal things on 4chan and those guys got doxxed.

No this thread is about meme culture. Pepe the frog is the most famous of all memes.

and behold the rarest Pepe of them all....

yep compel, but because of twitters actions and their status as the new "public square" they are heading super fast towards regulation... which i do not like :( in ideal world we would be able to sort these things out without the government.

I actually wouldn't mind any of this if Twitter didn't essentially have a monopoly on social media. I'm trying to promote a YouTube channel, to do that I pretty much have to use twitter.

Twitter doesn't in any way have a monopoly. That word has a specific meaning.

that is very debatable, when a competitor appeared almost out of the blue the MSM and certain politicians turned on them and got them shut down, then certain web browsers stopped supporting it... I am of course talking about Gab and its extension, I think the term is an oligopoly

Is it debateable, though? The guy literally said he wants to promote a Youtube channel, which is a social media network in and of itself. The idea that Twitter has a monopoly of any kind of laughable nonsense.

Well, I would say its debatable yes, simply because of all the highly suspicious actions they have all had in the last 3 years, all working in concert, companies being forced out, media collusion etc. but that is a topic for another thread i suppose, this is about meme culture.

Agreed, lets get back to meme culture.

Its interesting that the people who seem to say that memes are stupid are the very pro corporate media types that memes often make fun of. Look I know its tough not being one of the cool kids but the only people excluding you are yourselves. How bout this, go on twitter and post a rare Pepe and tell me if it doesn't make you feel better.

I don't get Pepe memes. Where's the joke, or the thing being communicated?

Personally I like to pronounce meme 'même' because you see the same thing again and again.

Here is a meme for anyone that played a Mordheim campaign that included shadow elves:

Don't dredge up old threads, especially just to push your youtube channel.
