I have big problems with 4chan and 8chan (and, frankly, probably all of the other chans as well at this point). After Gamergate, I withdrew from most social media. After Gamergate, I went back to therapy. Years later, I discovered that 8chan was a trauma trigger for me. (2/12)

It's been awful to see it re-emerging. Yes, I know it's been around -- but it's showing up again in the things I read. THQ Nordic, mass shootings, more...and it's frustrating. I visited it a few times during Gamergate and wish I hadn't. I've seen the evil firsthand. (3/12)

I visited because I wanted to protect my friends, and warn them when they were going to be targets. I visited when they wrote a thread about me, and I needed to know what they were saying about me and what they knew about me. And to see if I'd been doxed. (4/12)

I considered writing a tool (ChanScan) to scrape this for me, but the content was too vile to copy onto other servers and a lot of it was in images. I did not want to touch images, because there was _too much gore and concerning porn_. Yes, thankfully, I used a VPN. (5/12)

And, of course, there were the doxing boards like Baphomet. I've seen what's there and I can absolutely believe that it's only escalated and hidden itself. 8chan wasn't _the_ core of the evil, but it was where a lot of the core gathered. (6/12)

During Gamergate, I felt that this was part of the machinery driving the internet hate machine. Loathsome places like KiA on reddit were just the veneer -- the shiny, happy, "we're not evil!" part. I'm starting to see this happen again, and frankly, I'm scared. (7/12)

I'm not sure if places like this can be eradicated. I'm not sure if minds can be changed. But gathering people together online changed the world, for good and for bad. When Gamergate erupted, I reread Clay Shirky's Here Comes Everybody https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_Comes_Everybody … (8/12)

Here Comes Everybody discusses how people organize outside of traditional structures (read: online). When I first read it after release, I found it fascinating and it changed how I viewed online communities. Online communities are part of why I'm alive, after all. (9/12)

But rereading it in 2014 -- after the emergence of 8chan, Gamergate, etc -- I was horrified by the abuse. There's a moment in the book that always stuck out to me, saying "good thing this mob that gathered online worked for _good_, not _evil_!". And then...yeah. (10/12)

I wish I knew how to stop this evil. I wish I could feel like there was something I could do to protect everybody, especially from this online ball of evil. I regularly feel guilty that we couldn't do anything, and that so many things stem from 8chan. (11/12)

And remember: fighting evil online takes an awful toll. I've watched it destroy friends and chosen family. But it needs to happen. Make sure you take care of your people. Make sure they're okay. And for the fighters: you're never alone. (12/12)
