>Maybe God is leading you out of Babylon.

After exploring various other image boards, I've found that outside of a Christian board, anonymous image board culture as a whole is a cesspool of porn, fringe politics, edge-lords, trolls, petty slap fights, cynics and sadists and the proudly maladjusted. Not to mention that even the pre-Catholic Mafia 8chan /christian/ and 8chan /christianity/ were both being corrupted by surrounding boards, the norms of image board culture, as well as the Online Disinhibition Effect on steroids that is the natural product of image board culture.

I honestly wrestle with whether anonymous image board culture itself is a Babylon, and if there is any point in having a Christian board in such an environment. Or if having a Christian board on an anonymous image board is the equivalent of trying to have a church in the middle of Sodom and Gomorrah, or a strip club/red light district, or crack house. In other words, futile, and tending to lead such a church to being changed by the environment and culture surrounding it, rather than the other way around.

I mean, the very board we are on literally proudly advertises on the front page that drawn child porn (loli) is a-okay.

Part of me wonders if "radical free speech" is just a sad joke that ultimately proves why we need face to face contact and social mores in order to not devolve into psychological, spiritual and emotional monkeys.
