Lambdaplusjs
This dongle is a 
Lamdaplusjs (known colloquially as Lambda, L+js, or Lambdachan) 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 (with some links and attachments being redacted when necessary). The site has been public since November 3rd, 2021.
Contents
Rules
The rules are often considered vague, but as of October 2023, the following is listed on the site's Guide page (I2P) (Yggdrasil) to give a general idea of how the site is moderated:
- 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.
Furthermore, moderators other than the admin are restricted in what they can do. From the Guide page, permission is granted for volunteers to perform these actions:
- 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/.
There are also a few things they can do that weren't listed above and are elaborated on a case-by-case basis as they arise. For example, on the volunteer recruitment thread, the admin has stated (I2P) (Yggdrasil) that volunteers can move threads that are obviously copypasted from places elsewhere on the Internet to /free/. This was after a substantial amount of threads of such a nature were moved.
URLs, Source code, and database
Lambdaplusjs can be accessed on the following URLs:
- Yggdrasil site
- http://[200:e111:a7c7:6fee:8a1b:90a7:2b17:79ec/]
The source code is written in Lua and can be accessed at /Source/ on any of the above. 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, and so on. Images, their thumbnails, and all other files that are attached to posts are kept at /File/. The only things kept private are 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 and instead relies on POST requests. Formatting is limited in nature and supports the following:
- links to posts and threads, only needing to be prefixed with the capital letter P.
- bold text
- spoilered text
- simple quoting
- a subset of LaTeX
When compared to other imageboards that support posting over Tor, the site is quite generous when it comes to file posting. You can attach up to 30 files to any post, with the only other limit being that you have to keep the total size of the HTTP request that makes a post ≤ 32 MiB. Any type of file can be attached, but you might need to tell the site to keep filenames for some extensions to be preserved.
Community & criticism
As of October 2023, the site is still moderately active averaging around 100 PPD. There are many moderators, but only three (known colloquially as the 3 Js by their detractors) maintained presence, despite considerable gaps.
Many people accuse its admin (known colloquially as Lambdadmin or soymin) 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 is known as "Historicalfag" due to their use of XIX. century or early XX. century images and topics. Now speculated by some to be multiple people, the posts have made up a sizeable portion of the total PPD until the activity drastically reduced.
The site gained much of its userbase from former members of the now defunct Nanochan, so the board culture was inherited mostly from there. This did not stop the site from developing some slang and history on its own, though.
Spinoffs
All of these lack activity some way or another.
- Lambdaplusjs Two (original) (I2P) - Launched on the 6th of April 2023 and made public 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. The site was filled with Historicalfag's newspapers and mod accounts accordingly named before being made public, and (from looking at the moderation log) it seems that the admin always knows when to lock or unlock the /newsstand/ board to allow Historicalfag (and no one else) to post on it, so there is reason to believe that Historicalfag is the admin of 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 CSS stylesheets not present on Lambdaplusjs along with custom headers.
- hgiztpdbheg4cnievh3bb7bh3kcqlomk56y4sbocr54x3txfx3rpmpyd.onion - Currently (October 2023) it just displays "Lambdaplusjs" with one of Historicalfag's avatars and links to various popular boards of Lambdaplusjs along with boards less known, or excluded from regular viewing. The first known post about it was on the 13th of April, 2023.
