Hey KittyTac I'm legit one of the last people left on the forum that hasn't brought that up and is willing to defend you. Just fyi. You made a rude mistake and that's fine. I've done so many many times. As long as you learned literally anything from it, I support you.
Just forget it.

If I had that power I would destroy all the Roblox accounts. Then I'd go to work for Google or something.

But actually, to be 100% serious, my power fantasy is strategically shutting down sites and chasing off people until we can completely halt the centralized grip over the internet and return to Web 1.0. EVERYTHING can get its own forum and people can learn not to spill their personal information out once again. Oh, I would also replace Reddit with Lastmeasure. Also, what LoudWhispers said too.

It would be like, very very perfect and shit. I would like it.

I would pretty much make an authoritarian centralized internet. Then obliterate those communities that are disruptive. Part of my personality.

I'd appoint LW as undisputed high queen of the internet, download a copy of every single game/movie/etc. on the internet, and put the powers away.

If you want to shake up the internet, I guess you have to put a 'Scanner in charge.

Oh, and sites similar to 4chan won't be spared from my rampages. Erased from existence. Incels will also be obliterated.

Wouldn't unlisted imageboards be spared from your rampage?

If they carry 4chan's personality with them, they're likely to just get banned without my intervention.

Banning is no obstacle to them either tbh

Still, they would be less annoying without their "headquarters". At least people could deal with them more easily.

Repeat for every annoying, politically-charged community.

The whole point of any non-hierarchical entity is that it doesn't have a headquarters, with any disruption to 4chan merely resulting in the distribution of its users across the internet like oil over water, spreading them to unlisted sites or communication channels where it's impossible to keep track of all of them. What you'd want to do to kill all of them by the source is just eradicate all anonymity and have it so that all usage of the internet requires identification to be displayed, so that what people post online has repercussions to their life, just as if they posted something on twitter or facebook

Did you read what my occupation would be? A corporate/government informant. That has been taken care of.

Now, here's a modification of the what-if.

The same thing, except all users who commented on this what-if were granted those powers simultaneously. What would you do?

The internet would be a warzone, I guess, as I would try to sabotage LW, Dunamisdeos, and George while furthering my agenda. I could make a forum game about this.

And for the lols, I would edit said forum game so it is about dressing KittyTac up as a cat. Or a portly old gentleman. Haven't decided yet.

I suspect the only thing that would change about mine is that I'd end up sword fighting a Forumite on the rooftop, and no offense guys, but I'm in quite good shape and I'm a pretty big guy.
