I must be old, I get lost on the navigation there.

As far as really racist and antisemitic, oh well that is life and what happens with free speech. Voat was the same way, it was still full of decent information.

Freedom of speech means freedom for speech we don't like too. Voat often turned up the racism and antisemitism to max when they had mass migrations from Reddit. It shakes the tree and chases off people that don't really believe in free speech.

because they log your IP address

Point? People are overly paranoid about IP address logging due to VPN marketing gimmicks. Ever go on IRC?

(Don't get me wrong, VPNs definitely do have their uses and I'm not knocking them as a scam. You should definitely get and use a VPN if you can.)

What's that video proving? I may have missed something, but didn't hear anything about internet or IP Address explicitly mentioned?

Also, if the FBI wants to track you down for something that you posted, they can track you down. People leave little clues all of the time without knowing or realizing it. A VPN in it and of itself is not going to stop them. An IP address is just one of the methods that they can use.

Chaos is what chaos is. 4chan is chaos. I find it sometimes refreshing to see even the evil shit has a place to be exposed. Helps me to remember I am not a lunatic. Don't care for the racism or the hate, but free speech be dangerous yo.

No. I spent about 1 day on /b/ before Trump was ever even a political figure and said "fuck this" then bailed, never to return.

And yeah, I see a lot of the racial and anti-semitic stuff that you're talking about the rare times that a thread gets linked here. That being said, remember that you're conditioned to Facebook and Twitter moderating and policing content like that. I'd argue that we've reached a point where message boards such as this and 4Chan are considered the "deep web" (note - NOT dark web, yes, there is a difference). Having been on the internet for years, that's something that you see all the time on those kinds of sites and forums. If the mods don't deal with it, you just eventually learn to just tune it out and block/ignore those types if the mods don't do anything about it. (In other words, yes, it's seemingly rampant there - but I'd argue that that's just an unfortunate trait of the internet as opposed to just 4chan itself).
