  This story is all you need to know about Internet negativity. People tend to forget that those on the other end are very real, with their own knowledge and feeling and everything. The second the discussion gets more personal, the second you remember human, it’s all gone.

  A typical 4chan user is very concerned about privacy, because it’s a place they do stuff they wouldn’t do elsewhere.

  Once a trust is broken, it is very hard to regain. Technically, nothing stops it from appearing again. But will the userbase follow?

  Fair!

  You know what to do. Raise the black flag.

  The most transformative is probably SciHub. If we ever lose it, scientific progress in most fields will grind to a halt.

  arXiv is great, but the fact it only covers physics/math and, well, the fact it’s preprints significantly affects its scope.

  Should we at least have it cover all of academia, it would already be more viable.

  Not when this happens to a serious project affecting millions of people.

  Thanks for additional info!

  That’s interesting, actually. I can’t see why Russia the state would be interested in this (it already has issues accessing certain sources, so messing with a free open library is shooting one’s foot), so it’s either truly for the lulz (which are probably the most questionable lulz in history), or there’s some truly mastermind plot behind this.

  Is there any indication they come from Russia?
