Humans will really take any chance they can to troll, I would definitely get more moderation

While that's undoubtedly true, the level of trolling varies a lot so I don't think it's quite as simple as "if people can troll then they will." There's a crazy level of trolling on 4chan, quite a lot on Reddit or YouTube, and much less on HackerNews (cue troll replies to this post :D ).

I suspect that the owner, or the users, of a site are able steer how much trolling there is by incentivizing good conduct and 'policing'. If people actually value the content they won't troll, or they'll actively keep things tidy using the available tools. If people don't really care about the content (or if they only care about their relatively small corner) then they'll happily trash the bits they don't see value in.

According to dead internet theory, these might just as well be bots.

According to current internet theory, these are bots.

I was watching porn recently and the particular site I was on had recently added a real time chat widget too! Aside from scam bots trying to lure users off onto telegram, the last few messages were guys talking about Monty Python's The Life of Brian.

It's interesting to hear a story about 'Life' in the very place where 'Life is created.'

> The first and most obvious one was a filter of inappropriate words and expressions

I don't think those countermeasures are working because as of this moment, there's plenty of obvious naughty words being passed through in that chat window.

What if he filled the chat with bots and is using all of this as stealth marketing?

Well then it would be one product itself - something like i created bots who roast me on my blog ;)

The homepage design is nice, and I think anonymous chat is fun too. Even though the programming topic probably has a pretty clear target audience, I'm surprised that kind of hateful chat still shows up.

The attempt to run Javascript as the author mentions is pathetic.
