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.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.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.4chan/pol/ is interesting, I don't know about the other boards since I don't visit them.
