Altchan Activity since the hack

above is an interesting table with the PPD for the different altchans. seems like only soyjak party and 8chan.se are getting decent traffic. but still FAR BELOW what 4chan had. which begs the question where everyone went?

also i'm sad to see that there's STILL no good replacement for boards like /g/, /fit/, /biz/, /tv/ and so on. just /pol/shit and /v/ which i'm both not opposed to but it's just not my interest
A mix of 4gag being heavily botted (remember the 2016 election traffic stairsteps?), the site having already lost 2/3 of all user traffic over 2021 to 2024 and niche groups either retreating to chat clients or smaller less at risk altchans.

Fight Club was written by a gay man as an allegory for grappling with one's own repressed homosexuality.
It's all about interpretation by the reader/viewer many saw the messaging as an allegory for how all men should learn to defend themselves and that secret militias are necessary to overthrow the current world order.
It was also a satirical take on how simple and straightforward it can be to disrupt society or individuals lives with just a little planning and ingenuity
Fiction is Art, and Art is subjective in interpretation and value, whatever the original intent of the creator, or the curator

When 8chan fell didn’t a lot of people just stop using image boards altogether that could also be a factor here and would honestly be a critical hit to Chan culture if that’s the case.
 
Which brings us to current times, do the people leading all of this shit today seem genuine, or are they the counterfeiters?
They're real cucks, or modestly powerful imitators. (I'm talking about the fronters.)
If they were real and powerful they wouldn't act as they do; keeping everyone else down as much as possible.
That's a loser mentality; the mentality of playing a losing game.
Regardless of which, they overstate their power as a mind control strategy.
Real power wants more people to also have it, to alleviate boredom, loneliness and/or the slog of seeing weak people full of fail everywhere.
 
threshold for shittiness is so robust that you can watch a community degrade and not get the creeping urge to never visit again
this has been my entire journey since dialup bbs... and now i'm here. on this website. are your best times yet to come? am i to believe this is the final stand? the suck stops here? that's what they all said. now i'm old and tired. everywhere i go, we just watch each other dying until we don't anymore

Yes but the problem remains network effects. Like, there's no point discussing what's happening on the stock market RIGHT NOW if there's 5 altchans with a /biz/ board with 5 users each. Look in the column on the left, the highest blue board (ignoring /int/ which is just SFW /b/ with flags) is video games related stuff where 8chan has 13% of 4chan's traffic but most of it seems to be gacha game shit. Next are /g/ and /a/ on soyjak party with 8% of 4chan's traffic. 8% is not enough to have either fun or real discussions

Yes which again begs the question where did all the anons go with the answer imo being they simply are just not going to any alt chans and are chilling on their mainstream socials until 4chan comes back.

Honestly, idk why you would ever discuss something like that with your coworkers? They arent your friends, they arent there so that you can have discussions with them, any reasonable person just keeps a somewhat friendly relationship with their coworkers by basically always just smalltalking and/or talking about uncontroversial, positive topics (my wife got pregnant, i did this on the weekend, this week the workload is super chill,...) The reason your coworkers tell you "works for me" and dont engage is bc they obviously just want to have a somewhat friendly relationsship with you, so that the work enviroment isnt toxic. Simply dont argue with coworkers about stuff.
I am honored you thought my character high enough to be working and not a lowly NEET.
I more meant in normie social group settings where a variety of topics are brought up. If you ever talked to normie females they are constantly talking about their problems, including "medical problems" and their "medications". Its grating to be around and it doesn't stop in work spaces. Even normies were talking about the healthcare CEO killing after that happened which brought up other topics. The idea "we need to avoid toxic environments" is probably the subconcious mindset of all normies.
I've decided to stop censoring anything I say irl because in the end nobody actually cares what you say and if they do they will never say it, but it breaks the idea of general consensus built up by the corporate monopoly on media.
Most entry level job work environments that aren't warehouse work or construction tier have shit work environments anyway and people talk casually all the time, my point was theres basically an aversion to talk about anything other than what you like to consume, what you like to eat, drink, have sex with, watch, etc. and out of all of that the things you consume need to be "approved". Its difficult to describe, "How its hard" really said it best so far

I'll add on my 2c, I play on a lot of community servers with anons and they're waiting for 4chan to comeback. An outage like this isn't new, and people are used to it. To think that 4chan is kill, you must be new here.

So sick of these fucking tranny freaks defiling my beloved childhood games. They trooned out the motherfucking character creation in Oblivion.. and raped the soul out of the UI. I am fucking livid.
The Steam trailer is just bullshot cutscene shit. I can't imagine this will be the remaster that breaks the mold, however I am curious about how it plays.

Exactly that. The real power of kings was granting heraldry to the worthy.
Its why you see the fleur-de-lis on German heraldry, because German crusaders fought in the French king's line through the crusades. Real leadership elevates merit and everything, good and bad stands out in the view of everyone, real leadership doesn't hide in lodges and occulted societies where everyone hides their hands and only pushes actors and clowns out into the light.
People will emulate who is shown/elevated as meritorious in society , what people are emulating today is false leadership. Clowns, manipulators, meritless imposters.
Whether this is deliberate and intended to degenerate civilization or they are just idiots for not considering the larger organizational consequences of their strategy debatable.
