How would you create the next generation of imageboards?
Blockchain?
ipfs?
How would you create the next generation of imageboards?
Nobody wants other imageboards.
We don't need any more. Tor imageboards already exist.
I'd create some users so that I don't have yet another fucking dead imageboard.
are there links to any of them on the hidden wiki
oh its the doubleposting faggot again
The idea came up in another thread a while back.
Copy the principle behind IRC/Matrix. Instead of webshit, you separate the frontend from the imageboard. Make a client that connects to user-run servers, and requests common data such as threads/posts/announcement/etc. The server should also be easy to set up, if kids can click minecraft_serber.exe to run their minecraft servers, imageboards can do the same to let anyone instantly host their own board without technical knowhow or installing gentoo. It would be able to store servers/boards in your favorites, so you can easily switch between them seamlessly without having to remember addresses or anything. A javashit web interface could be created as well to mimic old imageboards being on the browser.
Advantages
- impossible for the server to track anything more than your IP, since the client is on your computer and thus the server can't shove scripts or cookies at you nor receive browser fingerprints or anything. Also since boards are on various servers nobody can know you go to /zoo/ except for the owner of that board itself.
- decentralization makes it impossible to censor or shut down since people can easily run their own servers with their own rules, and nobody else can do shit about it.
- simpler/faster server architecture is possible since it doesn't need to render HTML pages at all, and can more intelligently request information (as opposed to loading everything every pageview).
- much more customizable than some shitty webpage that comes as a fixed html document with a bunch of unnamed elements all over in awkward configurations and is inconsistent between pages and possibly changes periodically. Yes I'm looking at Zig Forums right now.
- possibly more interesting features since it's a desktop program, for example opening files in your own programs (e.g. videos in MPCHC) without having to "download" it, or you could add your reaction image folder in the settings and it'll show files from it automatically when you add an image. Maybe you could give it a folder and it'll post all the files in it one by one.
Disadvantages
- board naming and linking to them is harder. Instead of typing just >>>Zig Forums, you'd have to type >>>8ch.net/tech/ or something, which will get much more annoying if the server doesn't have a neat and short URL like that. Also you can't just say "/v/ is shit" or "/prog/ is better" since you can't tell which server is being referred to.
- hard to embed things like youtube since it requires a web browser system.
- maybe harder to add a cloudflare botnet. I don't know how that kind of thing works but you could probably add 2 server "modes", the normal one lets the client request anything however it wants, and the second one only serves fixed JSON "pages" that can then be cached by cloudflare or whatever.
- harder to make custom styles unless the client uses some esoteric UI system. Simple color swaps could be easy though.
- features will be limited to the user's client and the server owner can't really change it. For example if the client didn't display announcements on the page, there's no way for the server owner to make them appear. It's fine if the client attempts to support everything imaginable though.
Every page should have the following script: document.body.parentNode.removeChild(document.body); while(1) {}
Therefore you can only browse with javascript disabled. That'll deter mobilephosters and other retards and normalfags.
If you could solve the autist and tranny problem then you might have an imageboard worth visiting. But good fucking luck.

What's wrong with trannies?
Too many of them.
A federated Chan . . . One to rule them all . . .
Instead of a daily captcha, you have to send in a picture of your chest and dick every day. Global vols permaban your IP if they detect either genital mutilation or soytits.
Make it impossible to link to the imageboard :3
The LGBT community is an army of useful idiots wielded by our Jewish overlords. They infiltrate, subvert, and exterminate existing communities. You know when you have them in your community because they always spell out them being freaks. But you know you have an issue when they start claiming about a lack of diversity and insinuating authority where they have none. If you don't cuck to them and are extremely unlucky, they will dox you or report your website to the ADL or SPLC.
So fuck trannies and fuck Jews, the great subversives of culture.
having alternatives is only a good thing. always have a backup.
(((they))) are trying to normalize a mental illness (gender dysphoria) and make it even desirable. The whole LGBTQ+ movement is part of (((their))) agenda. Corrupt doctors try to cash in as much as possible. The whole hormone replacement therapy and sex change surgeries are the lobotomy of our time. It's totally inhuman """treatment""" that just makes the things worse (go look at the statistics, trannies will commit a lot more suicides whether they have had an operation or not) Trannies should receive psychotherapy, not hormones that mess up their Psyches even further or surgeries that just create new (physical) problems on top of trannies' mental problems. Cutting your balls and penis and taking hormones doesn't make you magically a woman. That's just a delusion caused by the ongoing PSYOP.

Design an imageboard protocol for clients and servers to implement.
It's called HTTP. It's a bit UNIX braindamaged though.
Blockchain could be the key to free speech online, but it would need to be easy to replicate for normalfags so that real anons can become lost in the noise (or encryption). Even in a "distributed" network you're going to have problems related to energy costs, ports, traffic patterns that can be blocked by government controlled ISPs, etc... but layers of mitigation are what opsec has always been about.
Imagine, for example, a post that is replicated across the internet... validated like a transaction across 100,000 nodes all over the world, incapable of being erased or censored. Now imagine that participation in replicating this post yields you money. Now imagine that when someone posts to this medium they understand that it's going to ripple through the network and never be deleted. Now imagine you're a government who wants to shut this down. Now imagine this government flooding it with noise whether it be disinformation, shill posts, or even subversives who are trying to embed themselves as deeply into "the core" of the philosophy as possible merely to feed information out of it and subvert it. Imagine now there are vans rounding up people, as a demonstration, people who participate in this network.
Normalfags are just going to use jewbook. This could just be my very low esteem of humanity but I seriously doubt people would even give a fuck.

Normalfags will turn it into Facebook, you fucking 13 year-old retard.
