Every once in a blue moon, usually browsing /tg/ or one of the numerous sub-mutations of /v/ to look for relevant game discussions. Very little of it is good anymore.
Yes
I hate the users
I can't leave even if I try
Forced memes up the ass
But in the decade plus I've been on there, some of the best moments of my life happened there (if your curious as to what exactly, pm me and I'll explain, i dont want to derail the thread. ) and its the only place where I can be my edgy self that isn't this place.
I was only ever interested in /x/ back in the day. I haven't really posted much at all now. I still go on the requests board now and then every few months to try find a really elusive album that /x/ had floating around back in the day. I still haven't found it.
Every problem with 4chan has only gotten worse over time. Coomers are my least favorite of them all. Some have hijacked slow generals I used to like with endlessly posting about cum. The whole site is almost a softcore porn site given how people interpret NSFW as meaning "no genitals" and coomers always bump threads with some nonsense about how specifically they want to coom on some garbage waifu or another.
Otherwise I like that I can tell trannies to kill themselves and dilate or say nigger and have them get mad.
It got pretty gay around the time of Project Chanology. Nothing lasts forever. Sometimes I'll poke around out of curiosity, but usually only for five minutes or so.
yeah, and it sucks cause some of the /gif/ threads are actually pretty comfy. especially the music and feels ones. I always have to filter like 120 threads before I get to anything good.
I sometimes check the site, but I don't post anymore. The quality of discussion is low, and the same fruitless discussions are coming back over and over again.
It died during GamerGate. Claims were made that Nick ‘Gawker’ Denton’s niece was cyberbullied into a suicide attempt by GamerGaters based out of 4chan (no evidence was ever provided for either of these claims).
m00t caved to some mysterious ‘pressure’ after this, banned all GG discussion, and sacked almost all the mod and jannie staff.
The sacked mods and jannies were replaced by a cadre of people that didn’t have to go through the usual application process (nothing suspicious there), and who overwhelmingly were more on the SJW/censorious side rather than libertarian/free speech side of things.
This was around the time that the ‘luggage lad’ thing broke, where it turned out he’d been honeypotted by a chick who already had a boyfriend.
TL;DR- m00t got vagina-trapped by an agent for social change, possibly funded by Soros or similar; this opened the way for him to be approached by private-sector glowies who made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. Free speech on 4ch died that day and was replaced with 100% copypastas, shitposting and stale troll posts.
Actually now that I think about it I can't even remember the last time I was on 4chan. At some point I closed the site and just never really returned. It wasn't out of anger or spite or anything, I kinda just got bored of the dumb shit on there and never went back.
