With the admin's verdict on /2X/ (and pink pill related topics as a whole) announced, where should farmers who want to discuss female politics head to?
The current options seem to be:
>New imageboard>Migration to other, existing imageboards >Migration to RedditAs far as the first option goes, we may be able to create a space on
https://8kun.top/ or
https://endchan.net/ using their board creation functions. The only downside is that both places are also home to all sorts of unsavory males (virulent racists, pedophiles, pornography junkies, manosphere users, etc).
We could also create our own standalone board/site, though we'd need someone with the proper skills for that. Post any thoughts/suggestions on /2X/ migration here.

>>1821This shit sucks
As an oldfag- I fucking hate Reddit. I can't be arsed to participate on Reddit, I hate it, even though I do browse it just for reading, I hate the UI.
Also as an oldfag that's been on 4chan since 2005- using a male space won't work either. I'm still struggling to deprogram myself from all the damage that's been done from such sites.
Never got into crystal.cafe. I've heard of it and checcked it out but apparently it's already compromised by troons.
I've been on lolcow for years now and it's helped me immensely.

>>1831>>1830My issue with CC is that it's currently full of trannies and men from places like /r9k/ LARPing.
The mod/janitor team is also markedly slower (at least based on my own memory of using the site), leaving us vulnerable to inevitable raids from angry males. I also don't get the feeling that the admin there would be very sympathetic to us, either.
Here's someone's first attempt to migrate to CC, from last year:
https://crystal.cafe/b/res/40189.htmlBased on the admin's post, I get the sense that she may just ignore obvious scrote raids/reports under the argument that it's just "having a discussion". Since I can't tell what was deleted, we also don't really know what would constitute "comment spam that's not conductive to the conversation". The whole concept of deletion based not on actual user consensus, but the admin's personal opinion sets kind of an undesirable precedent.
It'd be a rough path for sure.

>>1847that's why i honestly think making an innocuous board on a male imageboard wouldn't be so terrible, at least until we could get our ducks in a row.
tho honestly, i feel like the admin on cc might be better than this one. at least the thread is still up and shit. it's even worse that we had such a large and established userbase here that had been here for years and years, and admin is completely intolerant of it and is irrationally demanding a core component of the userbase leave. it's muhc more shameful for the admin of a site with an established board culture to be so irrational and ridiculous, rather than one with no history and established culture, being a handmaiden.
No. 1854
>>1841On 4chan, they sometimes post screencaps of CC threads, inviting them to come and court or chat with "the femoids". The place also gets mentioned on /lgbt/ a lot. Lolcow has survived so well as a female space because that shit is met with suspicion and swift bans at the slightest whiff of scrotehood. We need a place with that same energy.
I think, if possible, we should try to create our own board, or find a relatively quiet, very low-key imageboard to populate. In the latter situation, even if we didn't have proper moderation, we'd have a layer of protection in scrotes/trannies simply not knowing about us or where we are.
In any case, a temporary 8kun or Endchan "lifeboat" might be beneficial. Long-term is kind of unwanted because of the very nature of those sites' "usual" cultures, but I think they could be good emergency bunkers.

>>1857I attempted to create a temp board on Endchan, just in case, but couldn't find any options on thread settings (eg how to sticky a thread, display rules or any other functions besides deletion and things found on the management page), so I kind of gave up. Hope someone more competent rises to the occasion.
8kun also requires the global admins to approve a board request, so there might be a slim chance of them allowing a scrote-free environment.
The good thing about Endchan is that there's an option to remove a board from their index page, so we could have it relatively "hidden" there.
No. 1876

I follow 2/3 cows on /pt/ and that's about it, and I'm slightly more interested in the social aspect of a female centred image board rather than "lol cows mad"

Admin, I hope you're happy. Enjoy your site. Crystal.cafe 2.0 has been created. Welcome scrotes on board!! Fuckin' hell…
Males can shit on jews, niggers, faggots and women in general. But OH NO, fellow women, don't even try to talk about poor poor trannies and scrotes uwuw, their feelings will get hurt uwuwuw.
Girls, I love you so much. I hope you find a good community to migrate to. I'm grafetul for the time I've spent with you, I really am. I wish you happiness and hope for a better future. I will miss this, I will miss it a lot. Discussing feminism, talking about good movies and books, exchanging life experiences… This was an oasis in my life. I feel for the anons who don't have friends or relatives who understand how poisoned this world is. I'm lucky I have a relative with whom I can discuss radfeminism, but I know not everyone does and this board was the only place they could vent and feel welcomed.

Honestly I think I'm just gonna ween myself off of imageboards. I've been making steady progress on becoming a normalfag and have been keeping up with socializing regularly and diet and exercise and all that. I'm still grateful for lolcow for elevating me from pickme status and helping me getting over my internalized misogyny. It was honestly a huge factor in me regaining a lot of the self-esteem I had lost in countless relationships with horrible scrotes. So thank you ladies for that.
In regards to admin decision, I'm disappointed, mostly because of the lying. If she/someone on the mod team wanted to get rid of PP/GC discourse, she should have done so from the beginning without all the needless /meta/ drama and polling(which was ignored for some reason?). I've never been one for tinfoiling about the admin/mod team but even this decision is very suspect to me.
Anyway. Godspeed, ladies. Hope you all continue to keep up the good work and help other women realize how awful men truly are.

Lolcow was with me when I was still in a long term relationship with my shitty ex. I was the cool forevergirlfriend always putting up with shit until lolcow told me I was right to be angry, and that I didn't have to tolerate it. I don't think I could have dumped him a year ago if I didn't have everyone here encouraging me when I'd post about his messed up shit.

Crystal.cafe is basically dead (sometimes not a single post on any board for hours), so if enough anons went there, tranny posters would get drowned out. But the reason it's so slow is probably because there were so many obvious trannies in an already small userbase, so nearly everyone else simply left.
Will be interesting to see if eventually the same will happen to lc as well.

>>1920Why GC? And what do you count as GC? Making fun of someone for being a bitter, misogynistic tranny? Or actual science-based discussing of trans politics and how harmful they are? "Misgendering" someone? You need to stop being so vague and capricious about your terms and maybe people would respect them, you can't change your mind on a whim and then stomp your feet when people get pissed and pass banter your way. Most of the "GC derailment" comes from someone laughing at a troon, another anon throwing a fit and screeching about terfs and now you got a /meta/ crisis again.
Admin is hiding something. She's dodging
valid questions and only addressing the most uncivilized ones. Did she get a cease and desist from Yaniv or something? It was thrown around in /meta/ that she's just on a crusade to ban people who go against her authority and whether they're GC or not is secondary, but her fits are so erratic that it's truly perplexing. Just what IS your damage, Admin? Why GC? The discussion barely exists outside of the containment threads.
So Admin, what are the boundaries here?
>Case 1: An ugly, manic, woman-hating transwoman is sperging out about the cotton ceiling, calling the death of the terves. Are we allowed to call him a "he" or discuss how his mindset is inspired by the entitled tranny movement?
>Case 2: A fakeboi weeb is calling herself "a gay man" and tagging her female cosplays as "#crossplay" while suffering of a massive case of NLOGAre we allowed to call her a "she" or discuss how her actions are being influenced by internalized misogyny?
>Case 3: Some anon unironically says she identifies as "nonbinary" and chimps out when anons laugh at her delusions.Do the offending anons get banned for "GC discussion"?
>Case 4: A very recent example: An anon posts about her abusive TiM boyfriend in the Vent thread, detailing how he uses his "transitioning" and "dysphoria" as an excuse to fuck her up.Will she be banned for "GC discussion" on your "apolitical site"?
>Case 5: An OBVIOUS assmad tranny is posting on the site, maybe even admitting to the fact. People tell him to fuck off and go dilate. Will anons be banned for "GC discussion"?And so forth. It's a slippery slope when you start banning general topics that are left up for interpretation. Even if you say "no, that's not bannable" to any of these, some user will get their feelings. hurt over it and come to yell at you in /meta/ again for coddling "terf spergs", causing infighting again. It's not going to go away, Admin.

it's really that simple, imo? but staff can correct me if i'm wrong. as long as it doesn't devolve into a deep discussion about movements and politics it's fine. you can give advice to that anon with her tim boyfriend without dissecting the layers of bullshit in the troon movement.

See, the catch is that anons who are REALLY pro-trans will see anything, even misgendering, as political GC spergery and use the rule to their advantage to get anyone banned. That's how it works in the real life as well. Call a predator hiding behind the trans disguise out for preying on young girls and you're a violent transphobic terf for ever questioning a brave and stunning ma'am.
Well, I guess the good thing to come out of this is that eventually the teetering TRAs will slip up and do something that can be taken as a transphobic stand, get punished for it and realize how the discussion is actively being silenced and there are no online spaces available to pour your heart out at. I would say that occasional "dissecting the layers of bullshit" is a very minor problem to what it could be compared to something like 80 replies of race baiting or how greasy Venus's bangs are.

A lot of the other chans seem like shit options, tbh. I don't think any GC/RF anon wants to be on an imageboard that has a majority male userbase, especially when it's host to other nasty male shit like porn. crystal.cafe doesn't seem promising, either. I think the best bet /2X/ has in regards to finding a haven on the internet is to carve it out ourselves. Why not make our own imageboard?
As per crystal.cafe's FAQ, "crystal.cafe uses a fork of Tinyboard."
Tinyboard is a lightweight PHP imageboard.
Here's the link:
https://github.com/savetheinternet/TinyboardCould also look into the vichan fork of Tinyboard as well:
https://github.com/vichan-devel/vichanIn all honesty, it doesn't seem like getting a new imageboard up and running would be too difficult for anon with even junior dev-tier skills. Google's a straightforward domain host, in my experience, but there are other options as well, that perhaps obscure owner identity better. There's also the matter of creating a MySQL (or MariaDB) server.
An anon with an adequate amount of time and skills in PHP and databases should have no problem picking this up as a pet project.
As an aside, I'm bummed this is happening. Like other posters have said, the GC/PP threads really helped open my eyes and the anonymous nature of lolcow (especially as a female-centric imageboard) made me feel like I had a ~~safe space~~ to discuss my frustrations. It sucks to see a schism occurring, but I'd be happy to just use both imageboards (hopefully if a new one is created.) Speaking as a staminarose oldfag, this isn't the first migration I've endured and as long as I keep using imageboards it won't be the last either. C'est la vie.

Imageboards are the perfect places for discussions and sharing information. Lolcow isn't a hivemind, there's a variety of posters.

Even if there aren't supposed to be personal information it prevents man-in-the-middle attackers and keeps them from getting your ip if you are using a vpn to browse or post, for example. Some of us live in shitty places where it's rather risky hold radfem views, and with the mass surveillance going on nowadays and all the backlash towards radical feminists I think we need to protect ourselves as much as possible.
Keep in mind this is going to be a female-centered imageboard to discuss feminist and woman issues. Only that will make us an obvious target for riders from other boards like r9k or pol (as it already happened countless times on lolcow itself during its early years, just because the userbase was mostly female). Believe me, we need to care about security.
Only wanted to give my two cents because I think it's important.

I want to believe in Asherah's Garden, but if the admin really is male, it's a bit disappointing. I guess it's not the hugest deal as long as a female admin definitively comes along (after all, LC's first admin was male), but the thought of the deception and infiltration is bothering me.

>>2752>It is, but not as much as anons begging on their knees for a board owned by this scrot.No one's begging, but be realistic. Where should we go? Our other options include the LJ-type community, Discord and the free forum. I believe many of us have adapted to that (or can eventually, if we must), but let's be real. We're an imageboard community, and we have been from the start. The false claims that most of us came from Reddit or some other sites are just that, and that's also why it's like pulling teeth trying to remove all GC and PP anons from Lolcow. Like it or not, we're actual users. Integration to a new format just won't feel the same.
Maybe we can try the Endchan board for now, but I'm unsure of how it will pan out. That leaves Crystal Cafe, aka scrote, tranny and handmaiden headquarters.
The admin of AG doesn't seem to hold any malicious intent in what he's done, didn't try to make a name for himself, and said from the jump that he didn't want to run the place long-term, but is seeking a new admin. If we can fulfill the new admin part ASAP, and even verify that said new admin is an actual woman (livestream/AMA with face covered, maybe?) it'll be fine. We'll need to find women with coding experience who agree with, or don't mind supporting a controversial cause.
If there's an anon who knows how to create an imageboard, and has the resources/time to maintain it, I'd much rather we go to them instead and support them as much as we can, but in our current circumstances, this might just be our best bet. In this situation, I'd prefer to put practicality over pride for the time being.

Thanks for the warnings. It's still nice to have some temporal place to emigrate but one can't help to get suspicious of a man being willing to host a radical feminist website, for free. Sorry if your intentions to help are genuine Asherah's admin.
Tbh he has admitted the truth when he's been exposed and his intentions were of finding a female admin right away, so here's that.
>>2754I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt because I can understand why anyone would rather deploy literally anything else over something that works with php/sql. Php has a fame of being insecure by default and I've worked with sql, and it's a mess.

I haven't seen any real extremism, personally, but even in that case, since we're not men, I'm confident that even the odd anon who might post something like "Kill all men" would just be venting, not stockpiling weapons and actually getting ready to commit or encourage murder.
It baffles me that /pol/ and all its garbage offshoots are allowed to continue existing on multiple sites, even after Brenton Tarrant, Dylan Roof, Breivik and fuck knows who else have murdered multiple people, but certain branches of feminism are still considered too much.

Otherwise, we could try to stick to endchan or somewhere where they have a strict policy of not fucking over board owners just because they don't agree with them and hope the pedos and other garbage in there don't get assblasted at us for being radfems.

>>2762 already stated.
In all honesty, I have already ran a questionable imageboard already, for almost a year, I know how to protect myself from doxx, but I don't subscribe all the way to extreme GC and PP thinking, which makes me hesitate to admin such place.
In the end, people who didn't like my board, failing to DDoS it, resorted to posting CP and taking down the domain.
No. 2770
>>2767Look, I've lurked questionable places like 8chan's political boards before the site got nuked and rolf, if you think GC and PP are "extreme thinking" you've been too cuddled in the internet. Some anons saying men are subhuman after sharing tons of stadistics and proof of males doing inhuman things and screenshots of trannies starting smear campaigns cause someone hurt their feefees never will compare to pictures of
victims of terrorist attacks being posted and having literal (male) psycho anons mocking that shit and making memes of it. Have you ever seen those memes of "Are women really human?" that circulate around imageboards with naked white girls on it? Because those are being shared unironically by the scrotes who inhabit those places.
Let me question how "questionable" the board you ran must have been; maybe you're a femanon who has been too sucked up into imageboard culture enough to believe women discussing nothing but reality is "extremist". I'm sorry for you if that's the case; someday you may find yourself getting some "way too extreme GC and PP thinking", who knows.
No. 2773
>>2770NTA, but you're right. It's funny, when men ask "Are woman even human?", they accompany it with images of degraded, victimized women. Their whole rationale is because they have the power to hurt us, our very personhood should be called into question.
When women ask "Are men even human?", they accompany it with cases of men committing rape, murder, abuse, exploitation on all levels, etc and proof that they do it far, far more than women do. Their rationale is that because they have such a strong desire to hurt us (and even each other), their personhood should be called into question.
Somehow, these two groups are considered mostly equal, except the first one is given more leeway and has multiple chan boards to post and discuss their shit. The second one is far too extreme, though, because reasons.
The best part? Incel/misogynist killers are absolutely a thing. "Femcel"/misandrist killers aren't. If both groups are equal, or the latter is to be considered "extreme" at all, why wouldn't that carry into crime rates? It's not even like you need to be male to own or handle a gun.

DW is simple to use, easier to read as responses can be viewed inline or threaded, and the admin/jannies there can ban as many assholes as is necessary. but by all means, keep obsessing over having an imageboard (which is 100% going to be created by a dude) because DW is too old or confusing or some shit.

The dudes aren't even offended by it! Only you! We need a better plan for 2X. If the site the guy made can be passed to a woman, that's good but also means we could be locked out of it if original male admin gets bored and deletes/locks it.
Or our sensitive admin here can lay out a clearer plan. I agree with the anons who state that keeping the imageboard format is preferable.
No. 2839
>>2828Whether or not the dox was unnecessary is besides the point. The problem is that everyone is unquestioningly sucking his dick for making a board without any real reason to believe that he has good intentions. It's better to err on the side of caution than to immediately trust the type of men who lurk imageboards. Yes, they would make a entire board, lie, and manipulate just to fuck over the wahmenz. They are that deranged.
If male admin's explanation is genuine then I'm sure he understands what the issue is better than some of you apparently. It's fine to use a VPN and post on the board if it is handed over to a real female admin. Harping on about how he did such an ~uwu kind and generous~ thing when we don't even know his real intentions are is pathetic.

I'm not saying all anons who have those worries are men, but it sure is a nice chance to manipulate under the guise of protecting safety.
>Most of us aren't against making a new website BUT UNDERSTAND people not wanting to take responsability for it. …And actively fearmongering and discouraging them from it, so no one codes a new website besides the AG, that no one should use because it's made by a man even though he doesn't want to keep it abd searches for a new female admin and mod team.

And then explain what risk I supposed to put myself into by posting on the site. Like, I'm not happy about a man making it either and I'm sure there must be something weird about him for hosting a manhate site as a man. But he is willing to give it to someone else and even teach them how to opperate it, there is no way for him to know the exact locations of the posters(and you can mask that with vpns, proxies or rdp providers anyway), and the worst he could do in terms of security is malware ads/redirects (which are easy to block) or trojans you'd have to download and open which there is neither. What speaks against using it even temporary as an alternative to doing nothing?

Like, okay. Understandable, you don't want to risk your safety. But then, where should we go? What's the solution? Taking ownership and remaining as unknown as all of the admins of LC (besides Regina and Ian) have been doesn't seem impossible, in theory.

>>2962. You are the one who hasn't clearly even read the thread, and some tech illiterate brainlet loudmouth who's full of shit as well. Just ctrl+f and search for https. The first time this guy posted his site didn't even bother to implement it, and he had to be told to do so. Every damn imageboard I ever used or lurked, lolcow included, uses https even if no personal information is shared by the users, because apart from a very evident security formality for anyone minimally tech-savvy, it stops literally all the data you are sending to the server from being leaked in the case of a man in the middle attack. What parts of the website you are browsing, your browsing habits, your posts, everything. If you are connected through a proxy, your actual ip, too.
Have you ever used tor browser, anon? It has that nice extension the devs add by default called "https everywhere" that enforces the https in all sites you visit, do you know why is that? Because it's an imperative to only browse https sites under tor or anyone who owns an exit node could eavesdrop everything you do in that session and know your actual ip. The tor project had to shut down an important percentage of its exit nodes that turned out to be compromised some time ago for that reason. That's an example of how important is to use encrypt your data while connecting to somewhere.
Do you realize the vulnerable position this negligence leaves the users of a website mainly aimed towards political discussion? Mainly the users who don't mask their ips and tor users (and vpn companies are well known for harvesting and selling their users data, look the fuck up what are you installing in your browser/computer before committing for fuck's sake).
Why are you so defensive over people here being skeptic? Are you asherah's admin? If it's you, why are you so insistent that people can't be doxxed by their ips despite of several cows's post having been exposed in LC already?
Get over the fact no one in here wants to use a website made by a lurking scrote on an imageboard that's been raided by scrotes several times until a woman takes control over it for obvious reasons. It's not rocket science. You are the one that sounds like he's larping.

It was refreshing to have this corner of the internet after suffering through all the misogyny of 4chan, reddit, facebook etc. I felt like I have a group of women here who really understand me and I wasn't shut down for venting my frustrations about men like elsewhere on the internet. There's going to be a huge cultural change here even outside of /ot/ and /g/ now that these topics have been banned. Soon you'll be attacked or banned for misgendering Chris Chan or calling a male lolcow out for something a female one wouldn't get away with. It will be like every other part of the internet that hates women. It's impossible to have a large group of women on a website and expect them to never talk about politics or vent about shitty relationships with men or ffs talk about being a lesbian in the only corner of the internet that hasn't been infested with roleplayers.
It's very obvious that crystal.cafe is full of men and trans people but I'm going to make an effort to post there regularly again. If a vocal minority could change the culture here, we can change the culture there too. I think the polls here made it very clear that we're dealing with a very small, very annoying minority. If we keep posting things that actually interest us (and clearly bore men since it's kept them away for so long) and report posts from men/trans people I think we have a good chance at re-claiming both websites and letting the staff know who REALLY uses lolcow (and hopefully crystal.cafe and whatever alternative websites were suggested above) and they'll be forced to listen to us.
Pic related, keep this in your head when you feel like giving up on these sites. We're the majority, we've been around since the start. We're not going to let a few twitter newfags turn this into their PC safe space, they have enough websites to use for that.

I think it's honestly better for them to sperg out privately than to post "tranny janny" all over /meta/ and derail any respectable discussion like what happened before the server existed. Now, it's mostly just the "anti-GC" people posting shitty bait and searching for their playmates to go to war with.

>>3420I think people who gravitate to Discord tend to be the drama-loving types, anyway. It's most likely a combination of the "secret club" aspect of a verified server, and the fact that the core of Lolcow itself is literally drama.
Anons who just want /2X/ back, and to discuss female politics purely, naturally won't really take well to that kind of environment. It's just one more reason why we need an anonymous imageboard format for a replacement. Farmers are farmers, and many will inevitably take a similar kind of attitude with them as they had on the anon site to a place like Discord. It'll just look more vulgar with names attached.
Discord isn't the same for the aforementioned reasons, and a BBS forum will just end up attracting the wrong crowd (like PULL or LSA).

You all really are trying to push a narrative. The discord is fine, people come and go, you want something, just talk. We have channels for radfem/ feminism discussion. But I guess you just ignored those. Apparently, I'm lying and we all fight and scream about nothing but trannies. There has NEVER been drama at all, until now apparently.
It's not a secret "club", we have verification to prevent scrotes coming it. Why would you be complaining about that?
I don't understand the end game here. We all are waiting till we get an imageboard. you don't have to come into the discord if you are so offended. Go to AshGarden or whatever, or wait for Admin to finish the new server. OR MAKE ONE YOURSELF AND STOP COMPLAINING.

There is shit-talking, and I believe that's natural for any space with Lolcow users (especially on Discord), but not everyone will like it, and that's also fine. They're allowed to talk about it. It's not an attack on you, it just means it's not for them.

I'm actually in support of the anons who are criticizing the server (though I personally haven't seen much of the issues they're complaining about, or maybe I just don't see it as a big deal since the server is also active with plenty of other things), because I don't want it to become the only space we can use.
But, honestly, at the end of the day, does any of it matter? Why is it a huge deal if some people in a quiet, tucked-away server are annoyed about how things have been going, and complain amongst themselves about random posts and mod actions? Are they not allowed to bitch privately about what they don't like on a board they've been using for years?
It's not as if they're brigading random threads just to bring up radfems out of nowhere, or camping out in /meta/ just to make insulting, low-effort posts like I've seen many of the anti-GC anons do.

>>3449Saw this coming. Anyway, with the demise of /2X/, we have two options left:
Either
A. One of the anons (there's one who promised a text board, and another who said her boyfriend offered to make a board) delivers before the deadline, and we just head there. I think one user in the Discord discussed starting an imageboard, and even brainstormed on domain names, but still no ETA on that yet
or
B. Remaining anons head to Asherah's Garden to recoup. From there, they can either continue discussion of migration and branch out elsewhere, or one anon can just take ownership of the site so we can use it without fear.
I know B is the more controversial option, but the male admin is still being very forthcoming about literally giving the site away to any anon who asks, no strings attached. He gave a clear breakdown on what taking the site would entail on the /info/ board. It doesn't
have to be a male-owned board, and it's not even meant to remain one.
Personally, I would literally just take the site myself (and even change the name if just reading Asherah's Garden leaves a bad taste), but I don't know shit about owning an imageboard, and I don't have the money to hold up a website.
If anyone does opt to go with B, I strongly encourage using a VPN, for obvious security reasons. There are plenty of free ones, like Windscribe and ProtonVPN. The browser Opera comes with a free one, too, and I'm pretty sure Tor-posting is allowed on AG.

>>3486The anti kpop thread also suddenly had to go and then you have farmhands openly posting idol pics…
People on kiwifarms said our admin is only an ana-chan teen (and I also saw posts of her calling anons fat), so her and the mods are probably young weeb kpop fans who are still in their "guys, i'm not one of those ugly/fat/evil feminazis teehee"-phase.
There are some farmers who are already 30, us being lead by an 18-year-old made zero sense in the first place. I also had the impression that the last couple months bans were so random, it's quite obvious that mods love secretly participating in arguments.

I don't get why they're so keen on closing radfem threads when there's a lot of other shitty threads they could close. I honestly assumed that most anons are rad-leaning and don't have a problem with the feminism threads.
I used to be on tumblr but then i got tired of seeing all these libfem posts and reddit was absolutely not an option for me.
Not to get all sentimental over an imageboard lol but as a young radfem i was really happy when i found about lolcow but now i won't even have a free space with like-minded young women(and women
only ), when irl i don't have any rad-leaning friends in my life either…
No. 3495
>>3487>>3493The Endchan board seems mostly abandoned (and is still indexed on the front page of the site, opening it up to scrotes), and Dreamwidth's layout is kind of jarring.
I still think AG is our best bet. It's an imageboard, a few farmers have already posted there, and it's still relatively unknown, harshly reducing chances of scrote invasion. I posted on it using a VPN before, but it's not really active yet. Plus, the owner is handing the site over to any farmer who's interested, and has been trying to do so from the start. As long as there are female mods and a female anon takes over, I personally don't give a shit if some scrote first made it (a scrote literally made Lolcow after the other sites fell apart, lmao). You work with what you've got.
Whatever we do in the end, I'm just definitely not going to Reddit.

Otherwise, I'd rather take the site that gives us the best outcome. If pride comes before practicality for you, that's whatever, but this "I refuse" shit is kind of performative and lame. We need actual solutions.
No. 3503
>>3496That, and there's no reason to believe AG collects any more information than LC does.
On the off chance that the "tranny janny"/"tranny admin"/"scrote mod" rumors are true, or even the claims about admin and all the mods being handmaidens or whatever, I don't think there's much reason to believe we've ever been any safer here than we would be there. It's not like they're on our side or that they signed a contract to protect us or anything.
Truthfully, we should probably be using VPNs on all chan sites if we can, at least when it comes to discussing more "controversial" opinions. I'm too lazy to use one 24/7, but yeah.

No. 3521
>>3513that's not the point. someone can give hints to being male without obviously maleposting. there's a difference between males not being allowed because they're male, vs only banning the obvious admission of being male. it appears (based on what i've seen) that men can and do post (and it be permitted), hinting toward being male, without obviously saying that they're men. there's a difference. were men banned simply for being male, suspicious posts without obvious admission would lead to a ban. for the sake of principle, i think it's better for a female board that insists on remaining female, that it be clear that men simply aren't welcome, rather than saying "okay, i guess men are allowed because i can't completely ensure that you are male until you clearly admit it". essentially, the wording greenlights men posting, even allowing them to be part of the community by saying "posters with a phallus", it just encourages some degree of stealthposting.
a lot of men bring milk through, so it'd kind of make no sense to be more firm on that for a drama board, though, tbh.

Hi. I’m actually a mod/global volunteer on Asherah’s Garden.
The truth is, IPs aren’t logged on the site. The board software does allow for it, but our current server configuration prevents that function from working properly.
The server uses Nginx as a reverse proxy, which means requests made on the standard web ports, 80 for http and 443 for https, are routed internally to the imageboard service. IP forwarding has not been enabled to the imageboard, so it sees all requests as coming from the IP address of the server itself.
Additionally, when we ban someone, it just leaves a hashed token in the ban list, rather than an IP address.
This is why there was a glitch earlier that caused everybody to get banned when the admin was trying to ban a scrote bait thread. We kind of sat on this information for a while, because we weren’t sure whether revealing it could attract the wrong kind of attention and bring potential raids to the site.
Considering AG is still relatively small, for the time being, we plan to just delete all spam and bait, and see how that works out.
If it proves problematic in the future, we may turn on IP logging, and we will make sure to announce the change for transparency’s sake.

In advance, I'm not the best at in-depth explanations, so if this is the least bit confusing, I'll be glad to answer any questions.
Pic related is a screencap from the admin.
The first IP (OP) is his own, and is different from the other two, because on the 17th, he connected through the site from "
http://194.146.24.196:8080/" instead of from "
https://asherahs.garden/". In stark contrast to his IP (which starts with "80.41"), the rest of the thread have "194.146.24.196" as their IP by default, because all anons (as well as himself, on the 20th, as you can see from the first reply) connected from "
https://asherahs.garden/".
No anon has posted on the site through "
http://194.146.24.196:8080/" (and they're not supposed to - anyone who tries to post on the site using this link without a VPN is doing so at their own risk), so by default, their IP isn't visible.

>>3586To compare, this is a screencap from my end (a mod).
You can see a clear difference between the IP hash of the OP (admin), who posted from "
http://194.146.24.196:8080/" on that day, and every other post by both himself and regular anons. The hashes also correspond to the differences between the "clear IPs" you can see from his end. I made a point of showing more posts than just the first two in my example to make this even clearer, and I don't mind showing more, or demonstrating this with other threads and boards on the site. If any anons can identify their own posts to corroborate this if/when I do, that'd be great.
Also, nice picture of Stephen Lynx, but Lynxchan itself was not invented by the owner of Asherah's Garden, and doesn't really have anything to do with the board. It's just the platform we use. No handmaiden or tranny shit here, and any female anon is still free to permanently take the admin's place if the male thing is unsettling.
