The Goons always did have a megalomaniacal streak, turns out creating a minor monetary barrier generates a really self-important community.

What always got me is how intensely abusive that community is at all levels. The posters abuse each other, the mods abuse the posters, people are regularly singled out for humiliating attacks, and banned posters are tarred and feathered and put on display forever.

Meanwhile, LUE is a *textbook* on how to domesticate a toxic community, but I have no idea how to apply that at twitter scale. LUE went from livejournal raids to maintaining avatar servers and custom CSS themes and getting to know everyone on a name and face basis.

Life, The Universe, and Everything. I assumed everyone that knew about 4chan and and SA knew the history. 4chan and SA never changed, but LUE became a weird mystical closed place after the community went way too far.
