Like yeah, it’s somewhat stupid that she thought 4chan has accounts
* cough tripfags cough *
Tripcodes changed after moot sold the site, meaning whoever the original qanon was, there's literally no way to verify any posts after the change are the same person (they almost definitely weren't). Also, you can just use trip explorer to "hack" a tripcode, and this was always possible. Identity on 4chan has always been impossible to preserve in a meaningful way on purpose, which is why pretty much every successful 4chan-originated project moved away from the boards to communicate.
Anyway, it's not comparable to an account, and judging someone for using a tool rather than what they're using it for is insane. Social media are tools.
Wasn't there the more secure !! codes? Or was that later broken too?
Secure trips use a secret key and cannot be bruteforced. They're not broken, it just seems that the secret key was changed, meaning all previous secure trips would be different, breaking continuity with old secure trips, but they still serve the same function now.
