As for why they attach f*g to literally any and every designation besides anon, it's 4chan. Actually, many dots were connected for me as far as the disgusting nature of 4chan when I realized Epstein was very active on /pol/. He was also very active on /u/ (Yuri) but most people aren't ready for that conversation, people really don't like it when you imply porn is bad here. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 child) so rather than get a new number every post, logging in and getting a username sort of thing? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago* (1 child) Uh, no, more like making a post and then signing your message with a username/real name.

Until you tell everyone that you hang out on /b/. Much like a number of people in his DOGE cabinet that were salivating at the chance to undermine the government without understanding how it functioned. Telling people that you browse /b/ is virtue signaling that you're mentally deficient. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago (1 child) I don't think virtue signaling is accurate here. I think it is directly signaling that you are mentally deficient, and this has been true the entire time /b/ has existed. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago True. /b/ was never good. permalink fedilink source parent
