fedi 4chan?

Thank you. I have a masters in headassery from the Advanced School of Clowning at Bologna. And I interned at the Milan Dick Sucking Factory, which is where I met your parents.
that's awesome

Any place with anonymous/ephermal account and posts as the default is going to attract the worst people in the world....
We basically already have that here with how effortless it is to make accounts

that's awesome
It’s not a conventional career path but what is in these times of change?

is there a federated platform similar to 4chan ie. topic boards with ephemeral linear message threads? i dunno how else to describe it but I like the 4chan format, it's just got the worst people in the world on there (which I figure could be mitigated by the federated server type thing)
ie. topic boards with ephemeral linear message threads
This describes a general forum format, but you might mean chan imageboards specifically. There have been federated imageboards for a while, but they're very niche and experimental and I don't see the value. The two examples I've heard of are NNTPchan (2015-present, NNTP protocol) and Fchannel (ActivityPub protocol).
There's the related imageboard webring, but there's no actual federated interaction between the boards, it's effectively just cross-advertising to allow easier discovery.

aye, but it's content moderation in general. you can anonymize yourself easily on any platform, 4chan just attracts worse people because of the existing culture
You can make anonymous accounts, but there's a difference between 'breadguy' and 'anon'. Who is literally everyone posting on the board. In the chan world so called namefags are shunned and not thought of as true channers. By having an identifiable name it gives you some measure of reputation, a name that you may hold some regard for, or at least that others could decide if they want to listen to or block.

Well... Lemmy?

yeah like lemmy but different

I mean if everything is ephemeral and the users are anonymous and don't log in, the federation wouldn't actually do anything.

What product do they actually produce there?

What product do they actually produce there?
Natural resources. Oil & LNG (which America exports but much of Europe, China, and India import). They have Uranium fit for nuclear plants (so does Mali, which is why it’s a point of contention between France and Russia). Kind of crappy but still explosive weapons sales. The U.S., France, and China will sell you previous generation weapons that are better than Russia’s best stuff.
I mean, to vastly oversimplify, it’s a gas station with nuclear weapons and rocket scientists from the Soviet era. It’s not a diversified economy for a country so large. They export grain and shit like that but it’s a whole continent wide and they aren’t efficient about it.

Can't someone just make a lemmy frontend that does this?

To me, Russia fell into the “natural resources trap” where a country can sell oil, gold, diamonds, whatever and the citizens are fine with low taxes and jobs with low taxes but it ultimately can doom you to misrule. A country that doesn’t have oil or whatever has to do things the hard way. Like educate everyone and be a knowledge economy. That’s harder than finding oil.
Sochi seems lovely and I’d like to visit St Petersburg once relations normalize but no one associates Russia with tourism like they do Italy or France or Thailand or Bali or wherever your nearest tourism hotspot is.
So, long term, I’d like to see Russia embrace its strengths outside of energy and arms. We’d all be happier. But I’m not in charge so we’ll see what Trump and Putin do instead.

and you can just have stricter rules!! it's not impossible!
Tbf if you do have stricter rules the cesspit people would just move on

needing to store everything on and transmit everything from user devices is kind of crazy for a social media. fine for messaging and file sharing, but social media works better when there's a place for the content to actually be stored and accessed from (preferably multiple communicative places!)
Well, plebbit being text-only means exactly that any media content is being stored remotely on CDNs

I think there is quite some overlap with Lemmy. You can do images and threads here. And they even show up in a tree-like structure. I'm not sure about ephermal, I don't think Lemmy is as advanced. But other Fedi software have ephemeral posts.

If they are anonymous, they would get defederated extremely quickly.

I'll check it out but based on the name im guessing it'll be dogshit
Its like bittorrent for social media.

What if we pgp sign all of our messages

How would you federate something ephemeral? I'll admit I don't understand the specific techinals of federation but what stops another platform from hosting your content locally after it has supposed to have been deleted? It seems like the two goals of the platforms are diametrically opposed
There is lots of 4chan archivers.
