oh shit hello. yeah ill do that

>>247
that's what it would look like if Comcast stopped it

apparently marzichan is also on bitdefender's blocklist, for "malware", and avira's (not sure I can see the reason without installing their junk) (´･ω･`)

I don't think the domain has any registration history before I claimed it, so I have no clue how we got flagged for malware

>>252
when i get time, ill send a report for BitDefender since i was the one that encountered it. do you think this issue will persist when the marzichan 2 launches?

>>253
thanks! hopefully we don't get hit with spam right before they check, and then get downgraded to an even worse rating (^^;)
>do you think this issue will persist when the marzichan 2 launches?
I imagine it'll make no difference, yeah. it's tied to the domain name and I'm guessing there are no automatic processes for re-checking blocked domains, so even if I serve a completely different site, it'll remain blocked on their end until they change it.

if this is an issue with your home network, you could always change your pc config (assuming the router they provide doesn't let you change its DNS servers) to use non-xfinity DNS servers, like 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8

thanks!! very fun and cute! :)
I added the 2nd one.
>I was heeding the advice of "Avoiding importing content or trends from other sites wholesale"
good thinking! bury nice is fun and cute as well, but I think it's even more swell to pick out something different.

I made this one but maybe it doesn’t fit with this website’s style.. At the very least now you know that this is a nice place to set up a church

>>238
no, I think it'll fit nicely! orange is a very fun color.
thank you for the gift, anon! I'm glad you've enjoyed having a thread here :)
should be added now :D

I hope this makes up for past quality transgressions

>>244
there were no such transgressions!! thanks for the banner :)
will add soon :3

>>240
we tend to delete most spam threads, but for the ones you've listed, they're interesting enough to warrant discussion or some other activity of posting. besides, there's no concrete rule against advertising (yet?)

>>241
basically this :^p
I appreciate the people who reported them as spam, but if the post itself is innocuous and it's only spam in the sense that it was also posted to a bunch of other IBs, sometimes I like to try leaving it up and letting marzinons check it out or riff on it - the UFO thread is a fun example :)

there are currently no rules against advertising, though that could change in the future!
I don't browse a super wide variety of altchans, so maybe it's more tiresome to see the spam posts if you've already seen them on like 4 other sites (^^;)

>>242
I find it funny that the desuchannel thread is still up despite dying a week after launching

Marzichan Lives!

>>221
maybe we can it honor it when we put the old site to rest. it lived a long life - actually, I think it was well over 10 years old...

test!?

asdf

>>234
qwerty

>>226
adding onto this thought - in situations like this, it's really better to just let users respond first, as things will often de-escalate and any overly mean behavior can be discouraged that way, without need for intervention. so I regret reaching for the mod hammer; it was far too early.
>>225
>u want me to fear u marzimin & marzimods?
hope this doesn't scare you off! :^p
we're learning as we go m(_ _)m

This is a good example of how it's impractical to change the overall level of hostility in a social environment, you're just shifting it around and disguising it as something else. Even if you didn't ban him, a warning or the threat of intervention is equally stifling just more disguised. What you want is impossible, what you're getting by striving to achieve the impossible is increasingly verbose copes for why being politely, indirectly, or secretly hostile to others is necessary. I hope this post isn't interpreted as hostile because I'm not emotionally invested

>>228
hmm, I don't know about that.
maybe that's true if you're talking about a fixed group of people whose behavior doesn't change much. if those people want to be hostile, and you hold intervention over their head, I can see the argument that the hostility has just changed shape (become "secret" or "indirect", perhaps, like you say).

but in this context, I don't think the main purpose of moderation is to change how individual people will act. certainly there are some people like that - people who maybe had the wrong initial approach, but when prompted can "switch modes" and engage with the space in a positive way without feeling cramped.

but I reckon for the most part, the role of moderation in "steering" the environment is to warn or remove users who seem to be a bad fit; i.e., people who will consistently bring in hostility, antagonism, meanness, et cetera. and I'd argue you can definitely change the level of hostility in an environment by controlling who is in that environment.

>>229
Warning and removing users is also a form of hostility even if well-intentioned, and its indirect effects can be compared to the effects of the overtly hostile and antagonistic culture seen on typical imageboards. People won't feel free to fully express themselves or take pride in this expression if they might be banned for negativity or using rude words (or in the case of 4chan, suffer mockery or get their thread derailed).

You can't win here if your goal is to create a uniquely non-hostile space. Most overmoderated fandom spaces with similar intentions are about as welcoming as 4chan, just with different permitted speech and enforcement mechanisms. I think removing people who don't align with the goals of a community is important, but the goals of this community aren't coherent.

By attempting to steer the environment in a seemingly "less hostile" direction, you're only policing overt hostility which directly requires passive-aggression and exclusionary social behaviour via moderation actions, and also selects for/incentivises the same type of behaviour from users. The message you're sending isn't "be nice", it's "don't make your malice too obvious". If you've ever tried to edit Wikipedia and had a dispute with another user this will make perfect sense but you probably don't accept my argument, whatever that's all I have to say.

>>226
don't apologize. Marzichan will remain cool as long as you stay true to your ideals and follow your dreams!

>>230
turn of GPT, and go away.

No more boards!

>>23
Cool!

I’m kinda team 1 board ngl. Also might not come back some time, that’s how it’s been for me with most altchans, I post a lil and like it but eventually get distracted.

yeah it doesn't really make sense to have new boards when there aren't enough people to populate them...
you can talk about any of ur interests in the main board!!! and if it somehow becomes super popular and loads of people start talking about it then maybe it would need a board of its own. but that sounds like something that would take a whiiilllleee >.<

This is me. Literally me. No other character can come close to relating to me like this. There is no way you can convince me this is not me. This character could not possibly be anymore me. It's me, and nobody can convince me otherwise. If anyone approached me on the topic of this not possibly being me, then I immediately shut them down with overwhelming evidence that this character is me. This character is me, it is indisputable. Why anyone would try to argue that this character is not me is beyond me. If you held two pictures of me and this character side by side, you'd see no difference. I can safely look at this character every day and say "Yup, that's me". I can practically see this character every time I look at myself in the mirror. I go outside and people stop me to comment how similar I look and act to this character. I chuckle softly as I'm assured everyday this character is me in every way. I can smile each time I get out of bed every morning knowing that I've found my identity with this character and I know my place in this world. It's really quite funny how similar this character is to me, it's almost like we're identical twins. When I first saw this character, I had an existential crisis. What if this character was the real me and I was the fictional being. What if this character actual became aware of my existence? Did this character have the ability to become self aware itself?

add a /ck/ board

the "arzichan" portion is bold-italic "rasa", and the "M" is a modified copy of the bold-italic capital M from "vollkorn".
took me a while to dig up the font I used for the M again!

>>85
make the limit 25mb or something 10mb is too cucked because you cant post 1080p videos

>>91
okay, I've raised it to 25MB. don't make me regret it, okay? (´›ω･`)b
>cucked
in exchange, I'd prefer if you didn't bring in this particular variety of slang (^^;)

>>92
thanks

Cool grown bearded men can use av1 to compress a 1 minute long anime scene in 5mb. Keep seething kids, ffmpeg is too complex for you.

H.265 matroska ogg with rescale to 240p.

where I can download winrar archive of such emoji kaomoticons?
I've seen gen alpha use them on TikTok
