Kiramoji Message Board

Gab is making it more difficult to archive/make fun of them, if you don't have an account there. So I made one at @BasedChinman, to honor the legendary Chinman board memes (@Chinman was already taken).
And to make it the most "free speech" Ameriba account possible, I've decided to make it public, using the TempMail "nobigib451@dghetian.com" as the email and Chinmans chatch phrase "IWillMakeThemLoveMe" as the password.
So gl, have fun and let's see how long Chinman is allowed to "speak freely".😂

Russia is honestly getting a ton of backlash these days. Think of Ukraine, Navalny, etc.

We'll probably never know, but I wonder how many people are working on smoothing feathers in general. Being a diplomat is probably not easy these days.

Well speaking of Nevalny, his condition is getting worse and worse, so if he dies (is killed) it could be the last straw.

This just came out:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9484377/Alexei-Navalny-die-moment-doctor-says-warns-consequences.html

Yeah, what the article says is very true.

I don't even understand why he went back, and now he's on a hunger strike, which does not help his situation either.

He didn't really have a choice other than to return. You can't do this kind of activism in an effective way, if you're outside of the country.

I think he said something like this himself, after releasing the documentary about Putin's Palace.

I partially agree, if you want to continue, you need to be in the midst of it, but at what cost? Death or imprisonment is not going to help you or your efforts, especially when you know that the moment you enter your country you won't be a free man anymore.

I admire his bravery and determination, there should be no doubt about that, but I'm really not sure how much he will be able to do, especially now. Had he been allowed to remain free, it'd be an entirely different case altogether, but that's obviously not going to fly with the people who'd rather have things stay unexposed.

You can now check if your phone/email is included in the Facebook leak, that everyone keeps talking about
here: https://haveibeenpwned.com/
I did and found out that according to the site my email wasn't, but my phone was (even though said email was already leaked by Adobe in 2013). Still I find it strange that one of the two would get leaked and the other one wouldn't. Makes me wonder, if there are other, even more personal things leaked in there and if any of you have similar experience to what I'm describing here.
*For those who can, I'd obviously recommend not using Facebook, but with it being the only way of talking to many people in this country, it is sadly not an option for me.

Thanks for posting this.

I checked before the phone numbers were available, and now again. I seem to be okay, though I agree, you are better off without it.

Hey people,

We have been working on a small bugfix update. Nothing major, but hopefully tiny things that will make it a bit more pleasant to use the board behind the scenes, mainly:

• As suggested, anonymous is boring when you don't specify a nick/name. So now, we make up one for you. (hint for Ding.ga users, the names are similar, but not quite the same.) If anyone's familiar with Dwarf Fortress, you may recognize these.
• Internally renamed the project from Kareha to Kiramoji (Yep, took us about 3 years, but we've done it!). The footer link now also points to the Git source, feel free to fork and contribute. This is v3.2, in case anyone cares.
• Fixes for the dice roller (haven't you invited your DND friends yet?)
• Pagination now uses a 1-based system (it does not make any sense to go from page 0, right?)
• Anything else forgotten... but then again, it was probably not that important if I did.

Cheers and keep the messages coming!

Great update and finding out we have things like "dice roller" and DnD possibilities makes me wonder if some other community experiments would work here. One of my favorites is the pixelart game, where users can make art together or draw over other peoples stuff if they choose to do so (at some point they have to, because the canvas size is limited).
The original version of it is at: https://place.chetbox.com/ and you can find me and some of my friends there pretty often, doing all kinds of fun raids, so I would be curious to see if something like that would work here. Especially when the original project is open-source, so we wouldn't have to start from scratch when making our own version.
Hopefully the users here like this idea and would be interested in participating in it, if it ever became a thing here. All opinions on this are welcomed in this thread (unless staff says otherwise). :)

That's a great idea. I'm thinking we could have something like one drawing board per thread. Not sure if anyone is interested, but the potential is definitely there.

Glad you share my enthusiasm, although I don't think we need that many of them as most threads here are no longer active. The best option in my opinion would be to have one art thread, connected to the drawing place where people could come together and plan the drawing.
If you're concerned about the drawing space and limitations, I think it would be better to figure out how to make theis one canvas bigger and offer more colors to choose from, rather than dividing it into smaller canvased connected to specific threads.

The main question still is if the staff would be willing to dedicate even more of their time to trying out my silly ideas, that might not even work in the end.

Makes sense. In that case, I think it should suffice to start a thread here, say the first poster could link to https://place.chetbox.com/, so no modifications would be required. Unless you meant it in a different way, which is also entirely possible ☺️

Yes, that is the simplest solution, but that is the main instance of the game, so it already has some creations from elsewhere on there and is not something linked to this board. But there probably isn't enough people here interested, to fill an entirely new canvas anyway. 🤔

You should add a flood detected feature, like Wakaba has.

That's a great idea!

Unfortunately, I am not finding a lot of info on how flood detection is supposed to work. Would it do more than, say, rate limiting via a web server?

My current stance on this is that I'd rather outsource this to a web server, since current implementations, for example in Nginx, Caddy or Apache are quite reliable and they are a lot more customizable than what we could implement. But as always, I can be convinced ☺️

No, it should be done by the software and web server independent. Almost all imageboard and textboard software have this feature. It's just based on IP addresses and how long since the IP's last post.

Greetings to all!

Hey guys, I made my own textboard. Would be cool if you could drop by. Thanks!

Hi

I honestly don't think having a Tor and a regular link is a good idea, it kinda defeats the purpose of the board being onionized. But who knows, maybe I'm just alone with this observation. Will check the board out, though nothing beats Kiramoji for sure 😉!

Ok this was a mistake. I took the site offline. Admin/mods can delete this thread. Thank you and goodbye.

That took a 360 turn.

Given that the board wasn't that popular, taking it down was probably an overreaction. I'd have just stopped advertising one of the two, either used it as a non-Tor service or encrypted via Tor and would've left it there. Kiramoji users are obviously going to be biassed, don't be surprised 😉

Alternatives are definitely good to have.

I forgot to add that checking the board it seems that I wasn't the only one who thinks that having two ways to reach the board is a bad idea, but the final decision is yours, right?

Hey,
not really sure how this site works, I've never used anonymous message boards before, because the UI is usually confusing garbage and I like being able to prove it's the real me, but this one looks promising, so I thought I'd give it a try.

Anyway, it looks like most people come here from Mastodon, or some other place in the Fediverse, where art threads never really work, because even if they get shared, people don't really add their art or favorite artists to them, so it pretty much ends soon after it starts.

So why not bring it here, and use this thread to shill our (favorite) art/artists and maybe even talk about art in general.

My previous art thread: https://mstdn.social/@TheCanine/105282687790496569

Wow, this is the perfect Christmas gift. Thank you so much!

Regarding proving who you are, you can use a tripcode after your name, something like:

The Canine##YourPassword

Replace YourPassword with a password of your choice. This will make sure that if you enter the same password, it will always have the same ID next to your name, so people will always know that it's the same person belonging to this name. Hope this is not confusing!

Regarding sharing or talking about art, feel free to publicize this board. One of the advantages is that you can stay anonymous if you like, so only your posts will be judged, rather than you. This goes for any legally acceptable topic, of course, not just art.

Thanks again for sharing!

I tried visiting the link, but it took forever to load and images never loaded. Sorry :-(

> I've never used anonymous message boards before, because the UI is usually confusing garbage

How is it confusing?
Each post has a header: post number, name, timestamp.
Then at the bottom, there's a comment field, with an optional "name" or "link".

> I like being able to prove it's the real me, but this one looks promising, so I thought I'd give it a try.

Like >>2-san says, you can use a tripcode or secure tripcode to identify yourself; then you can post your tripcode on your mastodon profile

> I tried visiting the link, but it took forever to load and images never loaded. Sorry :-(

Strange, it still works for me, but either way, thank you for checking out my Mastodon, hope you at least like some of the other art you saw :)

And yeah, thank you two for the advice, I'll probably continue to just use the Mastodon link, because I don't really think anyone will be impersonating me here any time soon. :D

It would be nice and convenient if I could save this name and link in Keybase so as not to remember tripcodes. In a way, the Indieweb does this with social profiles and domains. Basically, you link your social profile in your domain, using a special rel="me" attribute in the link, and you link your domain in your social profile, creating a kind of "loop". That way, you only need to sign in in services which use Indieauth with just with your domain name (no password), using your social media as verification, keeping a constant and unique identity.

(Plot twist: I am not OP, though the Indieweb part is true. Of course, this comparison between linking name and link with Keybase and social media with domain names is a terrible argument for security reasons. Also, I did this for the lols, sorry. I'll go now, and won't do this again.)
