Why did 4chan get rid of (you)s? I'm confused as to why

I use an app, (you) is still there

>>716886906
Is it?

>>716886990
Yes

>>716887034
No, but I see now what they did that's just retarded

>>716886829
hah yeah i wondered about that.

>>716887034
>>716887107
I still don't understand the benefits of this transition. I'm tempted to stop using 4chan but if I see a legitimate reason for this change I'll stay I hope others will do the same

>>716887351
Idk, haven't been on the website in a long time. I always just use the app

>>716887351
Idiots accidentally copypasting (you) threatening 4chuns ideas of anonymity

>>716886829

Who cares. Anither reaaon to just use reddit instead. Im getting note and more temoted to make the switch every day. This definitely helped me closer to the decision.

>>716887899
What do you mean?

MAKE 4CHAN GREAT AGAIN


back when i could spam it with a bash script

>>716887899
but that doesn't ruin the anonymity at all

>>716888443
Oh I see>>716887899
Have people been doing that?

>>716887899
But wait you can only do that if you copy your own (you)!!

>>716888443
They want all posts to be equally anonymous, we're not meant to be able to tell who's samefagging

>>716888724
You can only tell if someone is same fagging if they show their thing

>>716888537
yea, only for years now

here's your (you)

>>716888683
Yes, and that still continuously causes the problem of people getting shit for samefagging

SAMEFAGGOT CANCER

>>716888813
Yea but idiots will be idiots and we all must take the consequences

>>716888874
Explain how showing people you were samefagging causes people to get shit?

>>716888724
But that only appears if the idiot takes a screenshot of their own (You)'s themselves and uploads it. We can't see other users, it's tied to their own IP.

It's so fucking hard to tell now who's replying to you at a glance. On busy threads it makes it annoying/impossible to keep track of different convos

What do you mean?

There probably was no reason. Jap Moot just fucked up when transferig hosts, probably a small internal tweak or copy and paste of the old code that will be fixed eventually.

>>716889254
>>716889318
Do you even remember how moot would go on about this shit? Trips and ids were all removed because they are that strict about their ideals

Use 4chanx
The Thread.

>>716886829
This thread is retarded

You're retarded

Were only opening more doors for this king of faggotry

this entire thread is samefag. prove me wrong nigger

>>716889545
That literally is not even the close to the same thing as being able to see your own posts marked as (You). And only you can see them. Of course trips were gotten rid of on /b/, they were like fucking handles and screenames and dont belong here, it's not the same at all.

>>716889940
Admittedly I argue with my self in threads because I like fucking with people

>>716889254
>>716889318
That's exactly why you idiots. That's why there is a dotted line now instead of (you) because you can't copy that.

>>716890132
You sure about that?

>>716888724
>>716889033
>if someone takes a screenshot of their own password than those websites should do away with passwords

>>716890132
And if it was you who else would be able to copy it?

>>716890025
Yet fags kept messing it up and pasting their own (You) everyday

>>716890132
You couldn't copy (You)'s either (other than your own). What's the change?

>>716890242
Well you can printscreen

>>716890297
So because some faggot kept messing up so away with it for everyone seriously that like saying some faggot kept pasting their password to Facebook so Facebook gets rid of passwords

>>716890297
see >>716890255

>>716890408
Exactly, you could copy your own (You)

>>716890452
You don't know the staff lmao

>>716890478
That's how dumb they actually are, don't blame me for it.

>>716890518
So who gives a shit some faggot was dumb enough to copy his own you then he should deal with it. Who know maybe it was part of their meme faggotry

>>716890728
They care because it messes with the overall anonymity

>>716890776
But if someone was dumb enough to do it they should deal with it just how if someone was dumb enough to mix chemicals because 4chan said so if they die they deserve it

>>716890518
>You don't know the staff lmao
omgz can you get me free passes and tell jap moot to give me shoutout on reddit and facebook cuz thats where i do most and cant see it on here! thanks mr elite 4chnner with backstage pass :x
