Lambdaplusjs

Lambdaplusjs overboard catalog showcasing a variety of threads (dated October 2023).

Lamdaplusjs, (Lambda or L+js more colloquially) is an imageboard accessed primarily through Tor, but is accessible on I2P and Yggdrasil as well. It is notable due to its involvement with Nanochan and its related sites, moderating by moving posts rather than removing them, userboard creation, and persisting all posts (except CP images). The site has been around since November 2021.

Rules

The rules are vague at best, but as of October 2023, the following is listed for moderators on moving posts:

• Child porn and CP links can redacted and moved to /spam/ with the "CP" button.
• Commercial advertising and blatant flooding can be moved to /spam/.
• Double posts or posts remade with corrections can be moved to /test/.
• Excessive political advocacy as described above can be moved to /free/.

Furthermore, there is content that is "not tolerated" or "unwelcome". Still leaving ambiguity:

• Using lambdaplusjs to commit crimes or post personal information is not permitted.
• Child porn and links to child porn are not tolerated and will be deleted.
• Drawings and other art not involving real children are not considered child porn.
• Photographs of sex acts between humans and animals are not welcome.
• While non-worksafe images are allowed, this is not a porn site, so posts should not be made solely to dump photorealistic erotic images.
• Multiple active threads for nanochan mod drama may be consolidated or moved to /free/.
• Making excessive numbers of threads and posts to advocate a political cause, especially killing children, will result in those posts being moved to /free/.
• Low quality posts may be moved to /free/ at the admin's discretion.
• Outside /free/, images that are pornographic, distasteful, or feature "this is what you look like" memes in the first post of a thread, may be spoilered.
• In general, posts and threads may be moved where the admin feels appropriate.
• Boards not deemed a good fit for the site will have their contents moved.

URLs, Source code, and database

Lambdaplusjs can be accessed on the following URLs:

Tor1

http://lambdaplusjs35padjaiz4jw2fugdoeutse262phqr72uf634s2wdbqd.onion/

Tor2

http://z5lcip4dafatwwa6hvyibizpzwycvwp67cjga3hzjhxhwvuyaqavxnid.onion/

I2P

http://l7jqnz3yfe2wtwietafoieadmgqbu7dcmzmey63ktbjtxal3he4a.b32.i2p/

Yggdrasil

http://[200:e111:a7c7:6fee:8a1b:90a7:2b17:79ec/]

The source code is written in Lua and can be accessed at /Source/ on either of these. It includes a git repository, so it can be cloned. The data can be accessed at /Data/ as well, including posting data, thread data, moderation data, etc. Images and their thumbnails are kept at /File/. The only thing kept private is the captcha solutions and moderator passwords. The installation is currently broken because you are not presented with an admin/password login during install so you cannot access the control panel.

Posting and formatting

Posting does not require JS, instead relies on POST requests. Formatting is limited in nature, it supports the following:

• Links to posts and threads, only needed to be prefixed with the letter P.
• bold text
• spoilered text
• simple quoting
• a subset of LaTeX

Community & criticism

As of October 2023, the site is still moderately active getting multiple hundred PPD. There are 7 moderators, but only 3 maintained presence, despite considerable gaps.

Many people accuse its admin (lambda admin, ladmin, or soymin colloquially) of shilling his site on other Nanochan related sites and later turning to deny that happening in the first place.

The admin formally banned the use of wojaks and is seen acting on excessive soyjak posting, but the rule is not enforced strictly.

The site is frequently spammed with many things. The most consistent and largest volume spammer was known as "historicalfag" due to their use of XIX. century or early XX. century images and topics. Now speculated to be multiple people, the posts have made up a sizeable portion of the total PPD until the activity drastically reduced.

The site shares much of its userbase from former members of the now defunct Nanochan so the board culture was inherited mostly from there. But it did not stop the site from developing some slang and history on its own.

Spinoffs

All of these lack activity some way or another.

• nyaiwdyri5wy2hqtmmquq2zlpl66jc5oc5die44j6kjqkaia3ozzneyd.onion alt - Launched on the 6th of April 2023, announced on the 19th. It hosts the same software as Lambdaplusjs so it can be presumed that it is hosted by the same person that asked on instructions on hosting it in a thread. Also the site was filled with historicalfag's newspapers and mod accounts accordingly named so it could also be historicalfag running the site. Since its inception the site received a few threads different in topics. Namely, sharing videos, diaryblogging, discussing forum design, and exchanging PGP messages. The site also uses various CCS themes not present on Lambdaplusjs and custom headers.
• hgiztpdbheg4cnievh3bb7bh3kcqlomk56y4sbocr54x3txfx3rpmpyd.onion - Currently (October 2023) it just displays "Lambdaplusjs" with one of historicalfags avatars and links to various popular boards of Lambdaplusjs along with boards less known, or excluded from regular viewing. It was posted first about on the 13th of April, 2023.
