Recently (over the past few years), there's been an alarming trend where tech companies have placed it upon themselves ban, censor, deplatform, etc individuals and websites. The CEO of Mozilla wrote a rather alarming blog post advocating for censoring and deplatforming. Regardless of what you're opinion of that blog is, it is quite concerning. What exactly does Mozilla plan to do?
Who knows, it's not the important part here. What is important is how is Endchan going to prepare against possible censorship, delisting from search results, hosting companies shutting down the server for Endchan?
I know there's Linxchan and IRC. However, I feel that those are temporary solutions to a ever growing problem. I understand that  staff is currently stretched to it's limit and everyone here is quite busy. I am curious if the staff of Endchan is discussing the current censorship going on and I am curious what safety nets there are in case Endchan gets targeted for any reason.
My personal input is that it's better to prepare for possible censorship, delisting, etc than to be caught off guard and have Endchan taken down completely.

I don't think the hit list will come immediately. However, before the US 2020 elections it appeared that Tech companies were taking aim at, not just conservatives, but anyone one else that did not fall in line. Alex Jones, Louis Farrakhan, Stefan Molynuex were all hit with take downs. More concerning is that CodemonkeyZ was taken down from Twitter and 8kun is no longer listed on Google or Wikipedia. I imagine that the powers that be will probably take aim at 4chan first. But, that's aside the point. If alternative websites start getting shut down. It's better to play it safe and have fail safes, back ups, more stability , etc for Endchan. 
It's good to see that you currently have back ups. But, I think playing it safe is a much better position to take than waiting for something to happen.

I believe will be fine. We're a really small website and aren't really relevant.

Did you read the entire article, and not just the headline picture?



Ban in bb for no reason, I was posing as usuall. As I did it for recent years and never got banned.

Very cool. Bun until 2029. reason - null

"You are banned from /bb/ until Thu Nov 29 2029 15:24:43
Reason: null.
Your ban id: 6749dcbb790b3fcab6555abc"

I can confirm - moderator suigintou is constantly abusing the mod function. Just check how much post he has deleted already. Also, randomly banning people with null reason. I was banned few times with the 'null' reason also. No other moderator done this before. We have not many people there posting, and it's getting even smaller because of this. He is mentally unstable and have watchman's syndrome.

В логи зайди и посмоти от кого бан.

Значит я точно попал, раз только ты откисаешь от банов.

To whomever it concerns.
When users complain about board staff, there are many possibilities to what happened. From these possibilities two extremes are:
1. The user was malicious, spammed, flooded, posted illegal content, was a nuisance for other posters, made the board unusuable with repetitive autism, etc. finally he got a well deserved ban and delete, and now he complains here trying to stir up shit, or just continues to be unpleasant for someone else.
2. He was a model user, creating OC, adding valid opinions, did entertaining posts, etc. and he was banned and deleted totally unjustified due to moderator's tyranny.
Either way we can't and don't know the contents of the posts, we can't and don't know what happened. We can't do justice therefore we don't do justice.
In the logs I see moderation activity by "suigintou", I see a ban lift from not long ago so I can assume he is not unreasonable. I see large blocks of deletions from some days earlier, I don't know what was deleted, it is not rare board staff on other boards who delete many posts at once for some reason, so I don't see this as much of an irregularity to make it suspicious for me.
In any way we typically don't take away boards, and we can't demote board volunteers, only BO can do that.
What we do is ensure that users can open their own boards, and tell their sides of their story. Could be true, could be a lie, doesn't matter from our point of view.

As for ban reasons. It's not mandatory to fill it out. Users generally think that when they get banned the moderator gives a reason for the users, telling them what they did wrong. It's not a false opinion that "reason" works like this, but for example when I add a reason it's a note for me in case later I look at the logs to know what was the post. So it's not for the user to get information, but for me. But this is just my opinion. Some users think they are owed to get an explanation, they are wrong.
Ideally getting a feedback what we did wrong would be a good thing, because we could learn and develop, sure. Do users really want to learn from their mistakes? I doubt it. It would be also nice if a discourse can be opened, put forward arguments pro- and contra. But most disagreements are unsolvable, and frankly malicious users just want the moderator to waste his own time on these things.
Probably I'm wasting my own time right now to write all this.

I am a representative and user of /b/.

Over the last two weeks /b/ has been getting abused with a ruthless spammer. He is spamming pornography along with underage sex (CP) on random threads. No one wants him there, no one likes him there. He made at least two users already permanently leave that board already. If you wish to save your site, along with the few decent boards, I would highly recommend and request you please delete his spam. It has nothing of value. It has everything to do with driving anons away from using decent boards.

Here is more of his bullshit antics ans pornographic spam. I'll be global reporting it, AGAIN. Can or will anyone do anything to ban this fucker for trying to ruin boards?

Fucking fag posted a CP thread, will not snapshot it or post the link, but it's been global reported from /b/

Obviously someone wants /b/ killed for whatever reason. Maybe because the board has decent threads and supports civilized free speech?



Would it be possible to have a functionality to hide posted files until a mod approves or deletes them? Either having files hidden by default until they are approved or giving registered users the possibility to immediately hide and report posts.



hi my 15 yr old friend is being posted and sexualized in a thread on the agatha2 board, this specific thread, and is causing her harrassment:
 
https://endchan.org/agatha2/res/17577.html#53732

posts #931 and #932 are the posts in question. I am requesting an admin please delete this content from the thread since she does not want to be posted here and doesnt want to be harrassed. Thank you.

 >>/19154/
there aren't any posts sexualizing her and there aren't even any posts identifying her at all so i don't know how you're claiming it's causing harrassment. obviously you're lying about both of those things so you're probably lying about her being 15 too.



 >>/19154/
Those photos clearly aren't sexual exploitation.
Also the claim that she's 15 year old cannot be validated. Trying to validate that (by posting name, date of birth, photos of documents...) would be a very bad decision.
There is nothing there that could be considered as harassment. There is no harassment on site.
If she's getting harassed on other social media or chat service, such as Facebook, Instagram, Discord, then please complain to the maintainers of those services, because they should take that seriously.

Hi all,
We have some problems on >>>/ziemniachan/
All posts were deleted, except threads. Do you have any idea why this happened?
Is it possible to restore posts from yesterday?
Or where can we report this issue?

Thanks in advance for your support!

Yeah it's weird that the option to delete posts by users who made them would let someone delete literally all the posts xD
I assume there's no way to bring back the deleted posts?

Wait, so if "Block users from deleting their posts" is not checked in board settings, then anyone can delete any post on that board? 
Then other boards which have not set this option are also at risk of this exploit.
Can Admin automatically update this setting for all boards or something, before whole of Endchan gets deleted?



Is there a way to post code without getting it fucked up by tags or colors? Just display the text as it was posted without any modifications or interpretation by the chan software.

The code tags do not prevent this.

You doing it wrong — using Tor Browser with clearnet version of website.

With Tor Browser use these onion addresses instead:
TOR v3:	enxx3byspwsdo446jujc52ucy2pf5urdbhqw3kbsfhlfjwmbpj5smdad.onion
TOR v2:

I had a development server breached that I had an old development copy of the Endchan database (without media). 

All users are advised to change their passwords ASAP.

Development server was breached used an redis/ssh exploit. Redis was installed and usually ran as a user but recently doing some development work, I accidentally started it up as root to look something up and left it running. Redis then can write to your ssh keys and insert unwanted keys and allow root access. All files in /root and /home were removed and a note was left:

> Hi, please view here: http://pastebin.com/raw/vadfLyDS for information on how to obtain your files!

Luckily I have bandwidth logs on that box and I can see there was nothing transferred out of the box. So my guess is they just deleted the files. The nature in which they left the machine leads me to believe this was an automated attack (plenty of other meaningful data directories were left alone). 

The copy of Endchan's data is left untouched on this development server. However the dump that was used to transfer the copy was still likely in the /root directory that was deleted. I will get the date of the data copy as soon as I can do some data recovery on that machine, I estimated the copy to be an early 2016 Q2 dump. This server is now offline.

At Endchan, we want to be as transparent as we possibly can and even though we do not believe anything was leaked, we cannot rule out nothing happen with 100%. And even if we could be certain that nothing was at risk, we still want to report anything of this nature to our users.

I fucked up, I'm sorry for any troubles this may and has caused any of you.

Please let us know any questions you may have.

Thank you. Let us know when this gets finished and when we can fix these issues. I would gladly re-upload all my video content (all very informative videos) as I have offline backups. Looking forward to this problem being fixed.
