<blockquote cite="http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/archives/011480.html"><p>4chan's /b/ forum, which gets called things like the Mos Eisley spaceport of the web when people are being polite, and the asshole of the internet when they aren't, is energetic, anarchic, barely moderated, crude, irresponsible, vindictive if crossed, peculiarly creative, and full of hackers. It inspires loyalty in its core users, and makes everyone else nervous.</p></blockquote> <p class="cite">&mdash; <a href="http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/archives/011480.html">Teresa Nielsen Hayden</a></p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/4chan">4chan</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/community">community</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/teresa-nielsen-hayden">teresa-nielsen-hayden</a></p>
