K-ASS25832y@C0D4 yeah but those aren’t nasty enough.
What if I have a feature that I hash the ip address and treat that as a user, and instead of randomly showing one comment I can also show the complete history of one user, wouldn’t that be fun? -
K-ASS25832y@C0D4 won’t that be a cool long social event to see what people do knowing there is no consequence in posting, but with nobody replying to them
-
@K-ASS with how networks are working nowadays you'd end up with random grouping - most people have dynamic ip, and many isps use nats.
You'd end up aggregating people from the same block or even city. -
I don't think 4chan-style toxicity is readily available, you need to cultivate that sort of tar pit.

K-ASS25832y@lorentz I would say, from my past experience, it’s quite readily available, but after a while it’s magically gone since they found it boring.
I had a website where you make comments, the purpose is to tell a secret, and it exploded on Reddit for a while so I see all kinds of racist and edgy things and actually had to step in and ban ips and put a filter. So yes, they are readily available. Internet trolls are always ready -
@K-ASS I mean, temporarily, yeah. I meant to say that the trolls won't stick around unless there's some kind of terrible, terrible ecosystem that keeps people logging on.
What if I just make a website called the internet is nasty and let people either leave a comment with 100 characters and can shuffle through the comments to see how nasty the internet can be
