Plagued 4chan - the Internet hate machine

[Shazam]

8chan.moe is getting hammered right now. The site keeps dying there's so many 4chan refugees. Lmao.

I never got why storytimes and daily chapters were allowed but things like r/a/dio threads were banned outside of holidays. /a/ jannies aren't the worst, but they are their own type of cancer.

Does anyone who used 4chan in the last 5 years have anything positive to say about the site staff or would only the jannies claim they are doing a good job?

How long under people realise that 4chan was basically a containment zone?

Sharty niggas truly released the HRT-riddled Flood into the internet if 4chan is truly kill. Kiwifarms will survive this, so there's hope still.

If 4chan is deleted where will the anons migrate to? I'm guessing twitter but it would be funny if they went elsewhere like Facebook or bluesky. Or maybe kiwifafms

Speaking for myself, i will just stop posting freely the way i could with anonymity.
Keep that stuff to when im talking with friends i suppose.

 

[CryptoHermit]

Here, twitter, groomcords, or they kill themselves

I expect Telegram to get a lot more anons becoming permanent users. Doesn't fill me with confidence since Telegram has it's own slew of insane freaks and groups.

While we're at it, did any of you also notice a sudden increase in "aggression" on 4chan during the past year? What I mean is that if you tried to effortpost on, say, a hobby board (like /g/ or /o/) there would always be 1 or 2 people who would enter the thread and act all pissed off, saying everyone's retarded and acting like you had killed their newborn child or something. Everyone always seemed irritable/on edge compared to even just a few years back.

It wasn't just typical "lol kys fag" shit, it almost felt weirdly personal. Artificial also to an extent. Forgive me if I sound schizo, I don't know how to put the feeling into words. Maybe I'm just retarded

Absolutely on /tg./ If you had a viewpoint that wasn't the most grognard shit imaginable, you would be fucking mauled by people who were acting like you were killing the hobby.
This isn't even an issue of "thin skin," you'd get dogpiled for the most lukewarm or inoffensive opinions on there since like 2022.
Bonus points youd catch timeouts and bans if you pointed out this behavior and why it wasnt getting moderated.

I wonder if this site will be the go-to replacement for those who don't just go to Xitter/Reddit/Discord or whatever. The other altchans have such a narrow focus that I can't see them taking in that many people.

I chalked that up to the sense of community dying on 4chan over the years.

A combination of dogshit moderation, indifference from the admin, and a festering culture with a userbase that learned about 4chan from Youtube videos with Pepe thumbnails

Yup, yup, and yup. I mainly posted in /vg/, lurked other boards, and ironically when it came to /vg/ where the whole point is generals of games, especially co-op/multiplayer games, you'd get the occasional lot of "4chan culture" posters and "we are le anonymous" fags that shit up the threads everytime. Granted, this was also in opposition to the avatarfags, but trying to kill a sense of community because you think you know 4chan because you're a 2016 tourist just exasperated the issues.

 

[Equivocal_Iki]

Except 4cuck past 2014-2015 is mainly brown ESL Amerimutts and Third Worlders LARPing as white people while claiming that Russia, China and Third World will hecking save the Westerino, troons LARPing as real men/women, Pedditors crying how sorry they are for being white/cis/male/ and how they wish for a black communist revolution, gooners treating the site like their goon sesh server and pedos making AI loli tentacle unbirth NTR porn.

WTF boards were you going on?

Some of the april fools events were pretty fun. Not this year's, mind you.

 

[Homeless Gargoyle]

That is true but it does have a big shilling issue.

That's gayer than all the BBC, cuck and tranny spam combined. On 4chan they at least couldn't be totally blatant like that.

I don't use it but judging by what I have seen basically everywhere on the public internet the rhetoric and discourse has become increasingly heated. People are openly fedposting about the president and Elon and besides that are more at each other's throats than ever before. And it didn't just happen immediately after the US election results, but started a little before that.

I can't speak to what you have seen and whether it specifically is artificial but the general tone and patience of people has definitely changed in recent history. I think some part of it is down to politics and the state of the world and maybe also a part of it is down to people being burned out by modern life and too much 24/7 news cycle impacting every part of their lives - what few normal hobbies there are have generally been taken over and commercialized like fuck and people show their cynicism everywhere.

 

[ProlapsedDelight]

only niggers are concerned with shit like "board quality" and "moderation".
ideally there would be zero moderation besides a an ai bot that automatically deletes mass flagged illegal shit and blatant flood spam.
let the people speak/shit their mind out

Here's the meta thread: https://8chan.moe/v/res/640607.html
The site is actually really active right now despite the capacity issues.

I'd go back as far as 10 years even, but absolutely not.

Based on the testimony Ive read here I'd say you're on the money. Outside of having *a* place to discuss very very niche interests and hobbies, nobody has anything positive to say about the site other than it existing.
It reads a bit like praising a government program that offered nothing positive except what it was named for.

Do any vpns work on 4chan? ProtonVPN doesn't let me post.

I was warned for "racism" in /vr/ after I told someone posting in Portuguese to go back to their favela. The biggest irony is that I'm am Brazilian and there's no such thing as a Brazilian race. 4chan was the last place I expected to make my beautiful narcostate PC.
