One of the most popular boards, \u201c\/pol\/\u201d or \u201cpolitically incorrect\u201d is where the majority of internet attacks and threats of real world violence are posted.

Like 4chan, 8kun threads are categorized into various \u201cboards\u201d. Brennan no longer controls the site and has since advocated for it to be shut down due to the real world violence it has spawned. The site is associated with several white supremacist, neo-Nazi, alt-right, and anti-Semitic hate groups globally. Activity on the site has been linked to several mass shootings and terrorist events, including three in 2019 alone (Christchurch, New Zealand, Poway, CA, and El Paso, TX). The site is also known as the home of Q, the user behind the notorious QAnon conspiracies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">DATA TYPES: User Profiles, Posts, Comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"30\" height=\"30\" class=\"wp-image-1102\" style=\"width: 30px;\" src=\"http:\/\/openmeasures.mysites.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/bitchute.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/openmeasures.mysites.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/bitchute.png 532w, http:\/\/openmeasures.mysites.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/bitchute-300x300.png 300w, http:\/\/openmeasures.mysites.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/bitchute-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 30px) 100vw, 30px\" \/> BitChute<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>BitChute is a British alt-tech video sharing platform and an alternative to YouTube.

Moderation, however, works very differently at Bluesky compared to Twitter or other legacy platforms.

These networks are often backed by servers running open-source code and maintain by pseudonymous  administrators. The open-source libraries running on these servers, like Mastodon or Lemmy, implement communications protocols that allow the servers to &#8220;federate&#8221; and share information with others using a shared protocol.

Gab allows users to create accounts, share posts, and engage in discussions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally speaking, Gab users are drawn to the platform as an alternative to traditional social networks like Twitter, but with much less content moderation. Gab has been a subject of controversy due to concerns about the presence of extremist and controversial content on the platform. Some critics argue that its commitment to free speech has resulted in the hosting of content that promotes hate speech or violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">DATA TYPES: User Profiles, Posts, Comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-4 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"30\" height=\"30\" class=\"wp-image-1106\" style=\"width: 30px;\" src=\"http:\/\/openmeasures.mysites.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/gettr.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/openmeasures.mysites.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/gettr.png 400w, http:\/\/openmeasures.mysites.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/gettr-300x300.png 300w, http:\/\/openmeasures.mysites.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/gettr-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 30px) 100vw, 30px\" \/> Gettr<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gettr is an American social media platform that was launched in July 2021.

Objectionable content creators that violate terms of service (often for hate speech or extremism) with YouTube and other video hosting sites often turn to Rumble to share their videos. In May 2021, the platform received investment from Peter Thiel and J.D. Vance. A few months later, it entered into an agreement to serve as cloud services provider for Truth Social. In September 2022, Rumble went public via special-purpose acquisition company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">DATA TYPES: User Profiles, Comments, Video Metadata <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" class=\"wp-image-1114\" style=\"width: 20px;\" src=\"http:\/\/openmeasures.mysites.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/rutube.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/openmeasures.mysites.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/rutube.png 382w, http:\/\/openmeasures.mysites.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/rutube-300x300.png 300w, http:\/\/openmeasures.mysites.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/rutube-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 20px) 100vw, 20px\" \/> RuTube<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>RuTube is a Russian video platform and alternative to YouTube founded in 2006.
