>[As late as Jan 22 of 2024, probably earlier] Crackdowns on foalcon and rape stories begin on FimFetch, and only escalate further as time goes on.
The earliest report of stories being removed from FiMfetch I could find across multiple sites is this one from WyrmSpawN on Derpibooru, dated January 7: https://derpibooru.org/forums/art/topics/artists-you-miss?post_id=5567358#post_5567358
At the time, everyone assumed that it was just because of Patreon, which had already banned Fimfiction over story content.

Any earlier reports I could find were several years old and usually refer to stories being missing/outdated due to FiMFetch not scraping them properly in the first place, which is beyond the scope of this drama. (though it does further justify FoalFetch's existence, as most of those stories are now properly archived on it)

I also found a /mlp/ post dated December 24 which references one of the deleted stories: https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/40657675/#q40668858
The post & replies would indicate that it was still available on FiMFetch at the time (the "deleted" in the post refers to it being removed from Fimfiction, not Fimfetch)
Note that it was a BLATANT foalcon story, so it would most certainly have been part of the first round of content purges.

There is also another /mlp/ post dated December 16 which clearly references a now deleted story: https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/40623136/#q40643648
(although this time it was for incest, which wasn't the first kind of content targeted)

This would place the big content purge sometime between December 24 and January 7.

>Is it possible to see when precisely a user was banned on FimFiction?
HK-FortySeven appears to have used the "last seen" date on DataByteBrony's Fimfiction profile, which does say "April 14th". You can actually get a full date & time by hovering on it.
Fimfiction doesn't give much information about bans. In fact, the mobile version of the profile page doesn't even show that a user is banned unless you check out their username from a different page.
Under other circumstances, the "last seen" date would be a poor indicator for when someone got banned. But here, that happened while the the drama was still very active, so there is a good enough chance that DataByte was regularly checking Fimfiction to see what others were saying in the Clopfics forum thread, right up until he got the ban. If that was the case, his "last seen" date & time would be just a few hours away from his actual ban date & time.

>>24734
It's hard to rely on obviousness to say a fic wouldn't be missed, as early in to noticing stuff about missing fics (around March 29th), I searched "foalcon" on FiMfetch and got the one Iron Will story I think titled something like "Iron Will's Foalcon Necrophilia Sex Rampage".
Whatever criteria Databyte was using was probably initially based on what Patreon told him, and reports from others, not searching his own site.
That is to say that it's possible the purge happened well before December 24th, we'd need clear evidence of a particular story disappearing somewhere before January 7th to place the start.

>>24734
you can still read the threads on fimfiction through
incognito mode and as for the likes of tour i have no idea.
basically his account being banned doesn't mean he wasn't paying attention elsewhere.

>>24732
>>24732
He was banned between April 4th and April 16th. I'd assume they banned their account when he got banned from the Discord server, which was on the 15th.

A sand yellow Pegasus at the counter answers with a smile. “Hello, and welcome to Shifting Sands. You may seat yourself, or you may order here.”

She reacts more to Neela than to Kira, and Kira may believe she hasn’t seen all of Kira.

>>173760
Kira isn't going to look a gift pony in the mouth, she's going to look her in the eyes, smile, and waves at her with a, "Hello! Thank you very much!" She looks to see what Neela wants to do first before she takes an action.

>>173761
Neela looks over at Kira
“Maybe better if we get it to go.”

Maybe this week?

Don't be a sandnigger country and develop nukes.
>but the collateral damages
It's not my fault if the enemy hides into civilians, if the civilians protect them they are guilty as well.

>But muh children
Especially the children.

>>373454
>develop nukes
Having nukes is a pretty strong strategic deterrent to prevent foreigners from attacking your country. Glowniggers also prefer not to start civil wars in countries that have nukes.
>if the civilians protect them they are guilty as well
That's stupid reasoning. Civilians hardly ever choose to shelter armed militants hiding among them; they typically just live in fear of them. People with no choice in the matter aren't guilty.
>>373453
>Have military / gov intelligence command centers built underneath a school, church, or hospital acting as a physical barrier to attacks and also making the enemy look evil if they ever attack such places
That works if you're a terrorist group, but it doesn't work if you're trying to run an actual country.
It worked for Hamas because Hamas doesn't actually care about Palestine, just defeating Israel and damaging it's international reputation: for them, maximizing casualties on both sides furthers their goal, because they're terrorists, not a regime. It wouldn't work in any place where you actually care for the well-being of your people, because it will result in more civilian casualties.

>>373457
>Civilians hardly ever choose to shelter armed militants hiding a
I don't give a fuck, I will be kind and deliver an ultimatum : Surrender the terrorists or face a complete annihilation by all means possible. You have 24 hours.

>>373458
>Surrender the terrorists
How are unarmed civilians supposed to "surrender terrorists"? They're just peasants, thru can't do anything.
Can you imagine if the government carpet-bombed the city you live in just to kill the mafia?

>>373451
Iranians aren't Arabs. They don't even speak Arabic.
They're Persians.

>>373451
>if it's MOSSAD, based move
Why do you just assume Mossad has good intentions?
If Mossad were involved, it would be to cause a war that they would intend the west to fight for them. All this does is cause political instability across the region that would result in more refugees migrating to Europe.

>>373455
Same shit. A good muslim is a dead muslim.

>>373456
I support the extermination of islam regardless who makes it. We should do the same. Every little counts.

>>373459
>extermination of islam
>Every little counts
One dead Persian won't make any difference on that front.
>regardless who makes it
Israel/Mossad definitely won't help you with that.
Wars in the middle east just lead to refugees that SPREAD ISLAM. You should know that by now.
Did the proxy wars led by the USA and Israel in Mossad in Syria and Iraq help exterminate Islam? No, it just caused millions of Muslims to flood into Europe. Think pragmatically.
>We should do the same.
This is true.

>>373431
>ZOG would have gone back to sleep
What is that supposed to mean?

>>373434
I really doubt the censorship would have been ramped up. Nor would there have been nearly as many riots and protests.

>>373441
>I really doubt the censorship would have been ramped up.
Do you not remember where SJWs were in 2014? It was oppressive as fuck. We'd still be there if it kept going at that rate.
>Nor would there have been nearly as many riots and protests.
No real basis for that.

So you think that R.F.K. Jr. To win?

Can I advertise my burls on /mlpol/? It's been tough since I cut my fingers off and my brother kicked me out for doing meth and playing pony life. Tired of sucking dick under the overpass in Hick Town, East Texas.

And the award for most autistic post ever made on mlpol.net goes to...

I think he's parodying someone.

>This site really is something special and I would hate to see it die.
Astroturfing things are hard to do, because most people can see through them. But one thing that could be done is shaming people for still posting on 4troons. Like have a designated time to raid 4troons with meme's and laugh at them for still being there, but not actively promoting mlpol. This could be done in conjuction with other altchans.
There's a whole world of chans out there, and they're posting on a fed honeypot. If you say things that catch their attention they will have a file on you. Depending on your state, the feds might even pay you a visit. They have paid me (and my whole extended family) a visit, and I know someone who got raided. So, there's more reason than one to not post on 4troons.
I think the main hurdle is that there isn't a lot of activity here (and other altchans) to satiate terminally online people. One reason 4troons has the activity level it does, is due to a network of bots. So, altchans are severely disabled in this aspect, as I don't think admins have the resources nor do I think that bot traffic adds anything positive to a website, other than engagement farming.
I really think in order to break this cycle, the motive to engagement farm needs to end. But this is beyond the scope of getting a few more posters here. If anyone remembers how youtube was before google bought it, (or better yet the napster/aimster/winmx days) knows how much better the internet was before social media, and all the attention whoring and fake engagement hunting.
