or sazha (literally "soot", from sage, a Japanese term for replying into a thread without bumping it). Sometimes 2ch serves as an introduction for Western memes to enter the Russian Internet. The default software used by Dvach is Makaba, a fork of the Wakaba engine. Officially, underage people are not allowed on the site. There are 18+ boards, which are explicitly related to sex.

Namazov has said that he is "left-leaning". As an ethnic Azerbaijani, he does not support Russian nationalists. Abu described Navalny, who associated with nationalists in the past, as a populist, and actively promoted the Sisyan meme denigrating Navalny. Some users say Namazov cooperates tightly with Russian police and special services, revealing the data of the users who promote mass protests or advocate for extremist organisations. Controversies Pranks After incidents like terrorist attacks or mass shootings, Dvach users prank people on social networks with fake eulogies, featuring the site owner Nariman Namazov or former porn star Sasha Grey as victims or perpetrators, akin to
