1 years ago, when Altman, the YC president, said that anonymous socializing would lead to bad things such as mean name-calling, 4chan founder Christopher "moot" Poole expressed the view that the wall split against him, saying that anonymity can foster sincere communication and create a fair platform. Now, that may be because he has not experienced the cyber events that inspire the ugly face of humanity.
This January, moot announced the resignation of this anonymous image to share the community's message board chief administrator, but at that time for why to leave their own 11 years ago, PV has been up to 620 million of the promotion of "sincere communication" site is vague. Recently, he accepted the "Rolling Stone" magazine interview finally revealed the reason-last year, the uproar of the Gamergate incident and icloud on the hundreds of stars on the leaked incident made his determination to leave, and hope to find a 4chan.
The two-time controversy took place last September, and the 4chan, known as the hot topic of hosting the controversy, was one of the main platforms for the event. In an interview, Moot said the month might have been the most stressful one months of his life:
Weeks and weeks, weeks and weeks, there's always a new controversy ... Always wanted me to intervene.
So moot decided to ban the site on the topic of Gamergate. Moot points out that the leaders of the Gamergate movement tried to use 4chan websites to expose their opponents ' personal data, and sometimes even tried to oppose the attack. He says all this goes against 4chan policy. But banning the Gamergate topic also makes moot a thorn in the campaign's sponsors. The moot finally made a decision to resign. You know, even though the prolific founder has 11 years of experience, he's only 27 years old. Aside from this, although 4chan's monthly independent visitors are 20 million, they haven't made much money. Looking for a buyer to take over may be a rational decision.
Looking back, moot's view that anonymity can promote sincere communication should also be true if everyone is sincere. In fact, whether it is beautiful or ugly, human nature is there, technology just magnified human nature.
