fedi 4chan?

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.

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

Too modern

Its like bittorrent for social media.
yeah i just mean the name "plebchan" doesnt inspire a lot of confidence

yeah could probably get something close. main differences would be chronological comments, ephemeral threads, and anonymous posting

What's ephemeral about 4chan?

I mean, I'm familiar with plebbit and while I think its neat, its very clunky.

easily circumvented with temp accounts per thread (ie. [random string]@ instance.domain)
Sure, but what would be the purpose of using activitypub then if it isn't publishing someone's activity.

Any place with anonymous/ephermal account and posts as the default is going to attract the worst people in the world....
Wow that changed too politics quickly, why drag Trump and the GOP into this ?
-
Anyplace that allows, or in the case of 4chan, encourages purely Anon posting is going to be a cesspit. When there's no accountability, no ID of any sort (even a screen name) to tie actions against then there's no reputation to protect. It might be pleasant at first, but you can bet it won't stay that way for long.
even a screen name
/. been around for awhile.

Yeah, was kind of clunky worded way to say 'no ID', /. Has screen names but in chan world everyone is the same 'anonymous'. When everyone is faceless and nameless people tend to let the ugly out with ease.
