anon posting , mostly. Sure you'll see a lot of bait and trolls, especially these days. But you'll also see people being truly authentic, which I find refreshing, since no one feels the need to self-censor in order to appeal to the crowd. Someone disagreeing with the consensus of the rest of the users in a thread has as much visibility as anyone else, unlike other social media platforms where you only see opinions that the majority agree with (which leads to fragmented echo chambers).
The main downside of this is that 4chan sucks at filtering low quality content. If you're scrolling through reddit for example and a post from /r/jokes pops up on your feed, it probably has a very high upvote to downvote ratio. Therefore you're statistically speaking likely to find it funny as well. Whereas on 4chan you're far more likely to see low-quality content or bait threads that generate a lot of replies.
so imo 4chan is better for discussion and having your views challenged, whereas other social media is better for "content".

eventually, but anything mod-related will come much later.
close-ish. It's somewhat functional right now. But it's missing a lot of features.
anon why
pretty much the same thing, except video CDNs tend to have features related to video compression and whatnot.
added to to-do list
I'll fix this in a few days at most. It'll probably be a button that says "remove image/gif" when you go to edit.
