Sidson City

Sidson City (often referred to as The Sidty) is a niche, personality-driven imageboard and "Small Web" community that acts as a specialized offshoot of the "Soyjak" and "Maskposting" subcultures. It is heavily centered around the creative output and lore of its founder, an administrator known as Sid. 1. Key Dates and Registration Domain Registration: The domain sidson.city was registered in early 2024 (likely February or March). Launch: The site officially launched in early 2024. A post by a user named nuttyjak on May 3, 2024, explicitly notes that "this site is still pretty new." Wayback Machine: The first captures of the site appeared in mid-2024, shortly after the site gained traction within the "Sharty" (Soyjak.party) and "Sneed" communities. 2. What is the site? Sidson City is an anonymous imageboard (utilizing the Tinyboard/Vichan engine) that positions itself as a "refined" alternative to more chaotic boards like Soyjak.party. It is defined by its specific, often surreal, interests: The Focus: The site is the primary hub for Maskposting—a subculture dedicated to the 2005 film Son of the Mask (SotM) and its protagonist, Tim Avery. It treats the film with a mix of genuine obsession and deep irony. The "Sidjak" Aesthetic: The site features original "Sidjak" variants (MS Paint-style edits of the owner, Sid) and promotes original comics, cartoons, and indie game development. Community Standards: The site has a "no anime" rule (with minor exceptions) and encourages users to keep "jakking" (posting standard Soyjaks) to a minimum to maintain a unique identity separate from "The Sharty." Terminology: The community uses unique lingo, such as "ID'd" (equivalent to "Good" or "Gem") and "IV'd" (equivalent to "Bad" or "Coal"). 3. What does the name mean? Sidson: This is a combination of the administrator’s handle, Sid, and the suffix -son (possibly a play on "Sid's Son" or a reference to the film Son of the Mask). City: Implies a sprawling, multi-faceted community hub. The Sidty: The common portmanteau for the site, used by residents (referred to as Sidsonites or Sidsonians). "We'll Connect The Dots": The site's motto, which refers to the schizo-analytical and lore-heavy nature of the community's discussions. 4. History and Context The site emerged from the "Sneed/Mask wars of 2019" that took place on boards like /tv/ and later on specialized Soyjak boards. Sidson City was created to give these "MaskChads" and "Sid-loyalists" a permanent home. It also hosts a dedicated wiki (Sidson Wiki or the "Free Ensidclopedia") that documents the complex history of their digital raids and internal memes. image from 1-2026

Please read the rules before posting. Serving 6,547,382 posts!Soyjak.st (the current domain for Soyjak.party, also known as The Sharty) is a major anonymous imageboard dedicated to the "Soyjak" meme culture and serves as the primary spiritual successor to 4chan’s defunct /qa/ (Question & Answer) board. 1. Key Dates and Registration Original Launch: The site was first launched as soyjak.party on September 20, 2020, by a pseudonymous 4chan user known as Soot. Current Domain Registration (soyjak.st): The .st domain was registered on September 26, 2024. The community migrated to this TLD (and others like .soy) following various hosting and domain stability issues with the original .party extension. First Wayback Machine Capture: While the original site has captures dating back to late 2020, the first captures for the soyjak.st URL appeared in October 2024, shortly after the domain was activated. 2. What is the site? Soyjak.st is a "Boutique Chan" that focuses almost exclusively on the creation, iteration, and "variant" posting of Soyjaks (MS Paint-style edits of the Wojak meme). The /qa/ Refugee Crisis: The site saw a massive influx of users in late 2021 after 4chan's administration permanently closed the /qa/ board. These users brought with them a specific, fast-paced, and highly ironic posting style known as "Soyspeak." Ownership History: The site has changed hands several times, often marked by community drama. Ownership transitioned from Soot (founder) to Kuz (2022), then to Doll (2023), Froot (August 2023), and is currently managed by an administrator known as Quote. Culture: The site is known for its highly insular slang (e.g., "gem," "coal," "chud," "brimstone") and a philosophy of "total soyjak victory." It has gained notoriety for its involvement in various internet "raids" and its antagonistic relationship with mainstream social media. 3. What does the name mean? Soyjak: A portmanteau of "Soy" (referring to the "soy boy" pejorative for a perceived lack of masculinity) and "Wojak" (the original Polish internet character). It refers to the specific caricatures of over-excited or distraught men used to mock modern internet consumers. st: The country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for São Tomé and Príncipe. Like many niche sites, it was likely chosen for its brevity and availability as a "safe" harbor for controversial content. The Sharty: A common community nickname for the site, which is a portmanteau of "Soyjak" and "Party."
