4chan founder Chris Poole has left Google
I've spent a fair amount of time on 4chan/pol/ for over a decade and my opinion is moot is a decent guy who sold it after he tried to reign in GamerGate and was loudly criticized on the site for it. I don't think Google would have hired him if it weren't for that redeeming quality.<p>I'm fascinated by 4chan because it is a kind of underground United Nations. It's anonymous so people around the world can express themselves - even in a way I might find horrifying - and I can get an idea of concerns people have, though they might be concerns left unsaid im polite society.<p>It's anonymous but your national flag is automatically assigned, and if you hide this or use a "meme flag'
 like a pirate flag, you will be criticized and ignored as a likely troll, trying a "false flag" operation.<p>4chan/pol/ is interesting, I don't know about the other boards since I don't visit them.
