can any oldfags explain what /pol/ harbor is. I started using this website in 2023 and still havent had an explanation for what it is, only that it had to do with moot

I'm not old enough but I know that a lot of the oldfags were obsessed with the polish president and/or his child with autism son and how he had a bunch of power over the world or something
Moot deleted /new/ because he was tired of it being neo-stormfront. He deleted it along with /r9k/ which caused a spinoff (which still exists to this day) called 4chon to be made. 4chon was widly popular and harassed 4chan for years and years, and eventually moot recreated /new/ as /pol/. He said if it went back to being stormfront again he would delete it. Then 2015 came. Then gamergate happened. Gamergate made moot get so pissed off and hate the site so much he sold it to hiroyuki and rode off into the sunset. Basically /pol/ ruined 4chan but we knew this already.
t. ANCIENT OLDFAG from the days of SomethingAwful. I've been on 4chan since the day it was made. I used to be in the Raspberry Heaven IRC channel.
