back in the day i was a heavy 4chan user, maybe around 2009 or so. I was younger and dumber but I miss that environment. The image board culture is one I miss and wish I could immerse myself in again.

I browse sushigirls occasionally but honestly I can't quite nail down if I am "welcome" here.

I'm a smelly commie, I'm a trans woman, im a furry piece of shit, and frankly I can't tell if this board is a "we're all bigots but want a good face so we dont let each other talk about it" or a genuinely safe place with a few hateful weirdos sprinkled in as a minority.

where exactly does this website fall on the "these people want me dead" scale? i love the environment but I cant tell if sticking around here would require me to accept that the people im talking to want me to die or not.

I used to be anti-trans OP. I don't mind anymore.

I'm not sure I can tell. I'm not sure I want to. I've never been attacked here. The best way to use this place is like a ghost, wandering in to make a few posts, and wandering out but that reclusiveness is sad. Sometimes you want a community to hang around.

Its always strange when someone other a-nonymous on another imageboard thanks you for something or show that he enjoys exchanging with you only to rip into a minority group elsewhere in his post without knowing you are one of them. Its so strange. It feels good at first but after a while you just get tired of it. Exhausting. sushi rollymity is a beautiful thing in its own way. In theory, although not in practice, it makes fools of us all. I think this was its original purpose. It was supposed to level the playing field but results were mixed.

I haven't been on this board in a few years, but I remember entering and lurking the discord for a bit. It was pretty racist, standard imageboard fare, which surprised me since the board seemed nice enough. Reading through the rest of this thread gives me no real confidence that anything has changed other than accepting trans people more, since they seem to be very represented on imageboards in general.

 No.1249

>>1248
It seems like a common attitude is "hey you are free to do what you want but don't signpost your identity or express your background" where maintaining sushi rollymity is wheeled out as an excuse to ignore people of certain backgrounds. But this can lead to policing of what people are allowed to express. But the kind of aggressive wear it on your sleeve oppression Olympics you see on other sites is really not desirable either. On the average imageboard, you are likely to take heat if you post anything mildly trans or minority related even if you aren't being a social media attention whore. Its probably worse for blacks and Africans though. And the obvious problem is when an identity is politicized, simply talking about anything vaguely related is likely to be interpreted as political and uncomfy.

Just wondering why the drinking thread got deleted (thread 15825 in lounge I think)?
Would be nice to know if there's some new thinking on alcohol talk being unfitting for some reason, and if making a new thread is ok or not.
Or did it accidentally get blasted in friendly fire during the unhinged spam thing last night?

I dont think moderation should be disproportionate, but deleting those threads only harms your fellow rolls who were using those threads. I really enjoyed that doll thread and now I'm sad.

Perhaps the threads should become sushi property (undeletable) after enough time?

I only remember one pic of yours that had gotten spoilered, but if the rest was along similar lines I don't know if it was that disproportionate. If one was browsing sushi on their phone on the bus or something (not that I myself would use boards on anything but a proper computer) and a normie looked over on the screen they'd probably think you were looking at softcore loli porn.

In my thinking, if you wouldn't have it out on your screen in public, probably a good idea to spoiler it.

I didnt see the images but this seems like a subjective and silly way to think about it. It seems perfectly normal to me to read manga in public, including manga with ecchi scenes. Even outside of otaku content, I've seen plenty of people watching movies on airplanes with sex scenes and gore as well.
Anyway isn't it a virtue to not be ashamed of what you love and to not worry about what strangers who are looking over your shoulder think of you?

 No.1354

>>1344
Yes, it's a virtue. Not one that everyone has the inclination to pursue. You're forcing all board users to adopt the same view or to only use the board in the privacy of their home.

I've noticed that IRC has been pretty dead as of late, while the activity on the boards has remained fairly constant. I feel like this is due to IRC quickly becoming a niche thing. My other imageboard Uboachan switched to Discord some years back and the chat has been explosively active ever since. So, I am wondering if anyone still prefers IRC, or if we ought to try moving to Discord and see how that works out. Thoughts?

Haven't used Rizon for around 5 years or so now. Quality among a lot of channels had dropped before I left but it would definitely be a better entry point for those interested in trying out IRC who hasn't before. Their bouncer and cloaks are extremely easy to obtain and configure.

>>1123
Same here. I don't even own a phone to give a number to these platforms even if I were to be willing to do so. Most won't even accept a temp number from various websites either. Discord's UI is attrocious in my opinion as well. I do like the matrix/element idea. While I haven't personally used it myself, it seems to be a better alternative to Discord.

I would warn, Rizon requires a working email in order to register your nick. I tried with 10minutemail but never received anything and gave up after 2 tries.

Plus there's a lot of un-comfy IBs that use rizon for their irc channel, which means you'd have to put up barriers to entry or else have lots of Ops monitoring the chat to put down raids.

>or else have lots of Ops monitoring the chat to put down raids
I've used Rizon frequently since ~2008 and have maybe seen one raid, and that was 10+ years ago. Raids are very uncommon, and if the channel is set to not appear in /whois will be even rarer.

Wasn't aware about needing a "proper" email to register, though. That's unfortunate for those who want privacy in that regard.

I have modified the software today to be able to block the actual endpoints of the shortened URLs usually included in CP spam. This should help a lot with slowing down the spam; the spammers have infinite URL shorteners but so far they all point to the same few places. We will start checking endpoints and adding them to the blocklist soon. Hopefully browsing will become less stressful.

This modification has also been submitted as a pull request to the main vichan repo. Hopefully they pick it up and other sites can start using it.

P.S. I also upgraded us to the newest version of the software. Stuff could break so please let me know if something isn't working right.

Changing my mind about this. There are some people who use VPNs on our site, so I think it's better to just add another SQL query step in post.php and block them at the database (MySQL/MariaDB) level by adding another table of just these CIDR addresses instead of blocking them with firewalld, because otherwise they may assume the site is down or something. I don't think it should be a problem to just create a new table with 500k entries, and continue to have a cron job to clear and update it annually.

 No.1277

>>1276
Currently the precedent is not to blanket-ban any and all suspected datacenters and VPNs from viewing the site. Using these methods is not bannable and doing so would generally hurt our users. I see that you have figured that out yourself.

Even then, vichan already supports DNSBL, why is this needed?

In addition, it won't generally stop CP4 as they are not using obvious datacenter IPs anymore. I still believe content-based filtering is the only long-term solution with a plausible effect. And empirically it seems to work pretty well.

Saved - I read every post from the webm "live"… :D It was a fun year. Recently I gave up on contributing here, though. It just felt like talking to myself. Maybe my posts were not worth a reply..? There is hardly any new threads, too. Board seems barren even more so when you consider sushigirl's Discord is beaming with life.

Staff is not too fast with the cleanup either, and its weird to me that the anal poster is not dealt with via software - like, with "take action now.*anal" regex filter?

what's up with the cringe
i know i am being kinda cringe but you don't have to hop onto that train
only makes it more noticeable for everyone to see and this isn't a kindergarten
and in general go easy on gatekeeping and attributing motives to people, not only is it not nice to anyone, you are making mistakes by doing so
i am not going to spam or harm the site in any way
also you're banning tor exits in case you wanted to make your board proxy-proof, and there are more proxies to go around which are seemingly not banned other than tor

sorry if my post is misplaced, i just don't know where to put it
>you are not welcome
eh
i don't really dislike the site or the people, i started posting here
it's just you can find a million sites like this one imo(GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY SITE)

do you really want me to write it in public? i guess i would like to do it in the dc chat then at least (i imagine i'm banned though i never tried accessing it after i was kicked)
and what i mean to say is that they don't have to accept it, so "preventing it in the future" might be unnecessary at all as we go our own ways. i do have a way of preventing it though i suppose

You do not have the right to apologize to or say goodbye to a person who doesn't want to talk to you. Further attempts at communication will be banned and deleted on sight. This is literally stalking. You are a stalker.

I remember using this site around 2017/2018 but then it got shut down around 2019. I kept coming back for 1-2 years to check occasionally only to get a message that it wouldn't get maintained.

Anyways, I'm so glad it's back :D! It's like meeting a weird stranger who imprinted on you a long time back. I missed this

So, yeah. It has come to this. Sorry everyone.

Even after adding multiple new janitors, getting one or more CP spam posts per day was just, still too much. It limits who will even be willing to visit my imageboards in a possibly traumatic way, and having it appear so often puts me at legal risk.

Even being desensitized from dealing with this so long, some of the more recent images were especially disturbing to me. I'd rather force my users to fill out a captcha than force my users and janitors to look at this shit all the time. I got it working and it's gonna be here to stay until I can think of something better.

I realize that Google's solution is not the best solution, but it's what ships with Vichan. At least one user reported that reCAPTCHA blocks their entire ISP, but they were able to get around that by enabling the uBlock Origin browser extension, strangely enough. If I can get the software updated there is an alternate provider, but there are issues with that such that it is going to end up being a major surgery I have to set aside some hours for.

I have the captcha set at the lowest difficulty setting for now. If you are having trouble posting regardless, you can report it to me at seisatsu@uboachan.net, though I can't guarantee I can do anything.

I'm sorry again that I had to do this, and I hope it doesn't significantly impact the experience for most people.

Most of them will get deleted as quick as a jannie manages to log in but regardless:

1. Check the tickbox on the offending post
2. Fill in the reason in the Reason box at the bottom of the page. You might have to open the thread to be able to do so if you are visiting from /kaitensushi/
3. Hit that Report button

And that's all 😮
