Dunno if this would be a good idea or not but I've often wondered if any good can come from banning old image video codecs like H.264/GIF. Like you can't upload .xvid mpeg4 video on 4chan because it wouldn't make sense allowing users to upload super potato quality video.
Maybe it's time to start retiring H.264/GIF so people will be encouraged to start using things like AV1 and quality will go up?

You know when I started this project I wondered the same about several aspects of the website, for example I wanted everyone to sign up with a google account before they could see anything, but then I decided to make most pages public and allow anonymous posting
What I'm getting into is that I believe in this day and age it's necessary to make the experience as seamless as possible to the end user. I would rather use the server to reencode older formats than prevent the end user from uploading them, shifting the burden to the website. I believe this is how most of big tech operates as well
I wish everyone was on desktop and had some basic computer skills, but in 2026 most people are on their phones and have no idea what file formats even are, let alone codecs

Never thought about it like that. So if I upload this 1MB PNG, you'll auto compress it so it'll load faster for everyone else?

Yeah that's the idea, it can get very complicated but at the current stage of the website we encode images to the webp format. For videos we aren't encoding them because that's more compute expensive and could lead to the website slowing down if there are a lot of uploads

Dam, I knew other anons having the basic tech skills to convert png/jpg to .webp before uploading here was too good to be true lol. Testing encode quality.

Pretty overkill but much better than anons crying that you destroyed the quality of their uploads. Bandwidth saving is still pretty huge.

Yeah I think the ideal scenario is someone uploading on an older format, then a website converts it to a new format then that new format is spread to the internet

Sounds good, you'd indirectly help other websites save bandwidth if OC content from here spreads elsewhere. Encoding multiple user H.264 video to AV1 (with good compression efficiency) in real time while not having the website go down is a pretty expensive undertaking right now, I wouldn't do it unless get your hands on a couple 192-core epyc servers or maybe 4...

Having compute like that would be insane for so many parts of the website, maybe one day lol

Allow slurs like ngger/kke/f*ggot but only once per post and as long as it isn't full blown TND lynch mob racism. Like some kind of ying/yang balance where we can speak our minds but also not become a stormfront clone. Also auto convert "tbh" to desu and "fam" to senpai because I don't want this place to be ebonics friendly.

The thing is that in 2026 the overall political climate doesn't allow this level of free speech outside of the USA. This is why large corporations have an advantage over smaller ones and why it's so hard to compete with them, they have lawyers and legal backing to safely go beyond what smaller websites would be allowed to. Smaller website risk being deplatformed if they don't follow these rules.
It's the same thing with NSFW content, governments around the world pushing for age verification only benefit the large companies that can afford it

That sucks, I'll still bookmark this place as an alternative to 4chan thoughbeit. At least you allow webp/av1 here, most social media sites convert whatever you upload to a small shit ass quality JPG/H264 video.
Like the whole internet should be on JPEG-XL by now but they're really dragging their feet with the adoption of it. Maybe consider adopting that when chrome/firefox finally add mainstream support.

Umigalaxy owner, heads up — there’s a shizo active on /g/ who repeatedly circumvents bans and reacts aggressively to any conversations about AV1.
Since AV1 is allowed here, it's gonna be on his radar. I've been pondering making more /g/ AV1 threads linking to your site to get some users here.
But making threads on /g/ about your AV1 paradise here risks the shizo taking residence here. What should I do?

By the by I noticed this place from the /wdg/ thread from like a week ago, I like the modern UI design.

Magnificent, I'm a novice at windows .cmd creation but I have more AV1 encoding thread ideas like show how much filesize was saved at equal SSIM when I improve.

Void, I have recently published my new SSIM/AV1 thread but I've just noticed a small problem. In my script there are spaces to separate my loops/variables but when I posted the thread here the spaces got converted into regular spaces but this was added:
I'd appreciate it if you could fix this before I publish the thread on /g/ 4chan.

Strange it did not let me post the code here, I"ll separate it with hyphens, maybe that will work.
&-n-b-s-p-;-
So instead of a regular empty line space I get those characters listed on the line and that breaks the windows script...

That wasn't me, I think VMAF is a better video metric than SSIM. Dunno how to write scripts yet and that's probably the only way to make optimized animated webp images. Oh well, still a lot of static webp images I can make.
