Dogolachan is a far-right Brazilian Portuguese bulletin board with a long history, involving actual criminals, that spans back to its first iteration on December 24, 2013. At the time of this writing, Dogolachan is on their third iteration which recently surfaced on January 23, 2024.

The initial founder of Dogolachan, Marcelo Valle Silveira Mello (Psytoré),¹⁾ began experimenting with the bulletin board format in 2011. These were named 45chan (45chan.org) and Jorgechan (jorgechan.org), though they mostly antagonized 55chan and focused on raids. Marcelo was then arrested by the Federal Police of Brazil for plotting a massacre of college students in Lago Sul on March 22, 2012.²⁾³⁾

With his sentence being reduced,⁴⁾ Marcelo would eventually establish Dogolachan at “dogolachan.org” on December 24, 2013, referencing the Dogola meme, and used Kusaba X.⁵⁾ The website disguised itself as some generic Japanophile refuge, but since it was run by a sociopath, it had, more or less, became a cult. By August 21, 2014, Dogolachan would switch from Kusaba X to Tinyboard.⁶⁾

At this point, Dogolachan became a hub for doxing, raiding, and defamation. Then on September 13, 2016, the YouTube personality Felipe Neto made a video on Marcelo's colleague, Emerson,⁷⁾⁸⁾ and he asked viewers to flood Dogolachan.⁹⁾ Marcelo would eventually be arrested again on May 10, 2018, now sentenced to 41 years,^10)11)12) leaving Dogolachan to its moderators until the domain expired in July 2018.

During the politically tense years,¹³⁾ “DPR” resurrected Dogolachan on the deep web in October 2018, then the users had this weird idea of typing the 2019 Suzano school shooting to Dogolachan¹⁴⁾¹⁵⁾ when the claims were dubious at best.¹⁶⁾¹⁷⁾ Regardless, this attention-seeking scheme worked, so the website moved over to a secure Tor v3 address (a 56-character “.onion” link) in response.

Later that year, Dogolachan went offline, in response to a deep web exploit,¹⁸⁾ around June 2019. For 2020, the GAECO carried out an operation that led to the arrest of many former Dogolachan personalities, causing Dogolachan to humorously put up a fake seizure notice that linked to 55chan. However, shortly after, Dogolachan mysteriously went offline for upgrades in February 2020 and it never resurfaced.

After years of relying on refuges, a user claiming to be “Technomage” from past iterations would re-establish Dogolachan in the deep web on January 13, 2024. Interestingly, this iteration of Dogolachan uses DevilX, a security-focused rewrite of Vichan. While there have been attempts to bring Dogolachan back to the clearnet, they haven't been quite successful with this as their website keeps getting dropped.

• The community's demonym is usually “Dogolerio”, but they sometimes use “Jorge” instead.
  • “Jorge” is a reference to a scene from the Chilean TV program, El diario de Eva, where this kid wanted to be hardcore, but his mother wouldn't let him. This was a meme in the late 2000s.
  • Any of their real-world attacks and massacres would be honored as “actum sanctus” (saint acts), which is usually rendered as “actvm sanctvm” to emphasize the fascist influence.
• Back then, the initial iteration of Dogolachan had used the slogan, “O maior fórum alt-right do Brasil”, which simply just translates to “The Largest Alt-Right Forum in Brazil”.
  • In its final weeks, “Brazil” was humorously changed to “Malaysia” as a joke, referencing how their now-defunct Romanian web host, Cinipac, curiously relied in a P.O. box in Malaysia.
• On June 16, 2019, former Dogolachan moderator “Kyo” shot at random women and himself.¹⁹⁾ In turn, former Dogolachan moderator “Technomage” became disgraced as a result.
