Dogolachan was a notorious far-right Brazilian Portuguese bulletin board, founded by Marcelo Valle Silveira Mello, that ran from 2013¹⁾ to 2018, then briefly revived until 2020. Depending on your perspective, it was either a den of 'wannabe criminals' or 'alt-right lolcows'.²⁾

Prior to Dogolachan, Mello had experimented with 45chan (45chan.org) and Jorgechan³⁾ (jorgechan.org) in 2011, but it mostly amounted to raids, antagonizing 55chan, then the Federal Police arrested Mello for plotting a Lago Sul massacre on March 22, 2012.⁴⁾⁵⁾ Mello would meet Emerson Eduardo Rodrigues, then Mello had his sentence reduced by one-sixth, so he was released early on May 15, 2013.

On December 24, 2013, Mello establishes Dogolachan at “dogolachan.org”, referencing the Dogola meme, using Kusaba X,⁶⁾ but later switched to Tinyboard by August 21, 2014.⁷⁾ Dogolachan would slowly build a name for itself through doxing, defamation, and threats. Then on September 13, 2016, the YouTube personality Felipe Neto did a video on Mello's colleague, Emerson, which led to a brief raid.⁸⁾

The rest of Dogolachan's history is crimes and drama that nobody cares about, but the Federal Police would eventually build a new case that led to Mello's arrest on May 10, 2018. This time, he was sentenced for 41 years,⁹⁾¹⁰⁾ though it was later reduced to 11 years. Without Mello, the staff kept Dogolachan together until the domain expired in the month of July 2018, but the refugees did manage to plan a successor.

Following the foreign electoral interference, “DPR” would set up Dogolachan on the 'deep web' in October 2018, then they gathered national attention when early reports on the Suzano massacre alleged that the perpetrators were Dogolachan users¹¹⁾¹²⁾ despite the evidence being sketchy.¹³⁾ Shortly after, Dogolachan had moved to a 56-characer 'Tor v3' address, then closed in a 'deep web exploit' scare.¹⁴⁾

In 2020, the GAECO arrested several Dogolachan-linked personalities. This didn't take down Dogolachan, so they propped up a fake seizure notice that redirected to 55chan to mock them. However, the website had allegedly went offline for 'upgrades' in the following month, but never returned. The community then splintered, but most Dogolachan refuges don't last since the community is a huge liability to house.

• The community's demonym is split between 'Dogolerio' and the hardcore 'Jorge'.¹⁵⁾
• Dogolachan's tagline once targeted 'hikikomori', but they quickly adopted the 'largest alt-right forum in Brazil' label, then they last changed 'Brazil' to 'Malaysia' as a joke¹⁶⁾ before the domain expired.
• In September 2015, Mello and Emerson traveled from Curitiba to Rio de Janeiro. Emerson had wanted to meet then-federal deputy Jair Bolsonaro, but Mello found out and sabotaged the meeting by calling his advisor beforehand, which started the long back-and-forth rivalry.
• Substituting the letter 'U' with the 'roman V' is meant to imitate fascism, so the term 'actvm sanctvm' is reserved for real-world attacks, shootings, or massacres deemed 'saint-worthy' acts.
