    My comment was caught in the outage, so forgive me for paraphrasing. 4chan used to be just as progressive as we are here, before they poe’s law’d themselves into a nazi haven. Upside, their fall created a broad online understanding of radicalization methods, which I’ve found several people consistently using here, like disillusionment and appeals to open information sharing. No, telling nazis to leave isn’t censorship, rando 1 through 8. Anyway, that’s all to say that they’re probing for opportunities to do the same thing here, and, like you, I can only wonder if it’s actual bigots or state actors.
