It's really an interesting phenomenon to be honest. People hate 4chan, it could be because of the users' toxic behavior there, the lax moderation which lets people post the most disgusting and vile content in the boards, and the association of the political far-right members in the States. While those negative aspects are understandable and even justified, it's really strange that people give ire to 4chan when almost all social media has the same issue as 4chan. Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Tumblr, etc. will have users who are horrible people and ruin the lives of others just because they can. They have to potential to post disgusting and wicked posts, be cruel to others and destroy someone's else life just because.
Yes, I know that they have some sense of "moderation", but it is just as lax (or more accurately, used unjustly), if even more than 4chan; because at least 4chan don't make most of the rules and the only kind of rules it's enforced in the imageboard is don't post illegal stuff in it, that's it! Things like YouTube? Oh, they could destroy the whole income of some popular YouTuber because he said a no-no word, while turning blind eye to actual pornography that are posted in the website through some loophole these devils use. So, to say that 4chan is the cesspit of toxicity of the internet is naïve, because social media have that issue as well, even if the rules are established and enforced on their websites and apps. So in reality, it's us humans who would harm each other by any means possible, even with strict rules that are enforced to us.
Thank you for reading this post, and have a good day.
