It's relatively easy to track down who somebody can be just by the images they upload, especially if they're on a close environment with a relatively small pool of users. Every time you repeatedly post an image you will always be showing a part of yourself, and if you use it even more frequently, not only are you lowering the quality of the board by repeating content, but you're also making yourself easier to target.
To which I'd like to ask, how do you defend yourself from being tracked down through images, if you have a small amount of them? Only two ways to fix that would be to either massively start saving whatever you see, or making original content, which even then can be tracked down to you. There must be even more alternatives, one can attempt to change the names of the files every so often, but even then, if there is a pattern of images that's being posted that guy can still be easy to track down

Nanonymous No.2095 [D] >>2098 >>2100

step one: never post any images
step two: repost other peoples images
step three: never repost your own images
>one can attempt to change the names of the files every so often
nanochan doesn't keep your filename, just the hash. So that's an easy one.

What do you mean by "to target" a person? I suppose you can "track" me when I post my Umarus. Which means what? That you know it's me when I post the Umarus? What else.

>step one: never post any images
There you go.

Yes. Anything medium more complex than a limited set of Unicode is to complex to fully understand enough to effectively sterilize. Use at own risk.
I can be tracked by images back when I used /a/ and /tv/ on 4chinz. I made my own reactions and filenames and only a few got reposted by others. Traking would talk effort, guesswork and probably be not worth the effort, but possible.

Here's the problem, Jews and federal agents post on imageboards, and they reduce the quality of the arguments being had. How they reduce it? By using namecalling, niggerpilling, and shitposting not for shitposting's sake, but for deviating the main subject someone would like to take. And thus, they never use images in their posts. Why would they use images, that would contribute content to the board that they want to make white noise on.
This is where images take place, an image means more than a thousand words is equal to saying that, to understand an image, you have to have various cognitive patterns, understand for example in this case >>2097 , what the lips mean, what the dress has of importance, why does this image exist. It all serves to a big purpose that evolution/god allowed us by giving us brains. Understanding an image, means that we are human beings.
That's why, if you ever come up to a thread that is filled with constant infighting, you should always pay attention to the posts that have images that express something, either smug or laughter and many others. That means that the guy behind the monitor is not a ZOGbot and actually has empathy for what he believes on. I've been applying this technique on 8zion constantly on /pol/, and it always worked. All the anons that were contributing to the threads posted images, and most of the hebrews that went on derrails and proxyhopped constantly never posted any images, besides (maybe once in a blue moon) porn bait since they're jews.
That's why images are important, they help to determine who is a real human being and not a zionist
>but what about the posters that are not jews and don't post images
Well that's the main reason why hebrews do white noise, to make the real posters less noticeable. They're going to be victims of a place where they won't be heard, be berated constantly, and made a consensus of by the same hebrews that take a shit on their homeboards.

Also note that bots, which run rampant on pigchan, can parse images much less easily. Using images as an integral part of communication forces bots to resort to less sophisticated disruption techniques.

uwotmate? Images are the most distracting aspect of an image board.
You know there are human shills and retards right

I consider most people posting crappy memes, and nonsensical images shills or retards. Like >>2097 in your example, or yourself.

That's because the community here yet isn't filled with CIAniggers and shills spamming blackpills, racebaits and constant infighting calling for violence. Once the board reaches critical mass, posts with images will become more valuable. Trust me, the last you want to see is this place become twitter

If you're going that tinfoil, your writing style is just as fingerprintable.

Nanonymous No.2129 [D] >>2134

>>2128
That's right. And there's something even more fingerprintable than that: your thoughts. Not just how you express your opinions but actually the opinions you express. For example if you're disgusted by a pic posted today, you'll be disgusted by it 3 months later when it's reposted. Your reply will be almost identical too. How's that for a brainfuck? Avoid datamining threads and avoid boards whose owners datamine. If you're smart you'll have became a tinfoil mummy by the time you finished reading this sentence. Otherwise it's too late. You're screwed.

Sure but shills/ retards use images as well... if they do not serve a historical/informational purpose they shouldn't be added. I never liked image boards for the shitty memes and low-quality posts, though it depends on the platform/board.

To prove I'm not a shill, here's a completely unrelated image ...

Nah, the most they would use would be false infographs and memes made by the CIA (muttspam, sweetieposting, wojak variants, etc.). The meme that the CIA collects anime images to disguise themselves as lurkers could apply but I have seen less animeposts calling for violence while shitting on their home imageboard, than imageless posts doing that.

I post images with only a small amount of pixels and memorize each one. Once I see it posted on enough sites I know I can safely post it to post-underground websites such as this one.
>There must be even more alternatives
There are plenty solutions to this but as usual they are outside the realm of what can be implemented with webshit.
> one can attempt to change the names of the files every so often,
What names? Web browser uploads shouldn't have names, that's a bug in your web browser (yes I know firecuck and jewgle chrome do it). Also nanochan does not post the original names (as far as I can tell by looking at one page).
