> Do you ever see people openly hoping for shootings, cheering them on, and then posting manifestos on Twitter? Maybe it happens with Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit, but I haven't seen it and haven't seen many people here bring up any experiences like that. I've seen people who used to be friends get sucked into far alt-right stuff through 8chan specifically. I'm sure that other sites have been guilty of bits and pieces of that, but the combination makes 8chan on another level than any of those. Personally, Twitter has been a much bigger source of anger, shock and hate than 4chan ever was.ĭo you ever see people openly hoping for shootings, cheering them on, and then posting manifestos there (referencing not only the ideology they learned from the site, but even the in-jokes of the people cheering for it on the site) before doing their own shootings?

People get absorbed in ideas all the time, and those platforms just multiply the intensity. >You could say the exact same thing about Twitter, Facebook, Reddit or any other form of social media.
