Selecting a Despot for the Autism Thunderdome

So, while everyone else seethes about unrelated shit, I'm going to be a retard and ping @Null. Thoughts? Mockery?

I think I've figured out the difference. A&N is unique for its rapid turnover of posts, as new articles are posted all the time that cover intellectually similar ground. This leads to a constant churn of the same replies over and over again. Repetition of the same ideas concentrates and refines them into ever more extreme versions, rather like breeding cows until they're overweight, docile milk factories.

The few megathreads that stand out as the exception even demonstrate the theory, I think.

Take this:



Compare the Biden megathread thread to other parts of the site. Like a cow thread, or one of the topic threads in Multimedia or Technology, it's got longevity; it sticks around and generates conversation, rather than only hanging on long enough to get the stock replies before it disappears past page 3. The Meghan Markle and the Soulless Wonder thread has the same character; a lot of conversation and discussion, a fairly chill atmosphere, and regular inputs of news and information about the topic.

The high signal to noise ratio of these topics is what's missing in the rest of A&N.

The hypothesis faces some challenge with the Ukraine war megathreads, which have devolved into two opposing wank factories, but I suspect that's because of the speed of conversation within them, as well as the highly charged nature of the topic. Other Happenings threads got retarded when they were moving fast as well.

A&N has become a dumping ground for random news articles, without any coherent or unifying purpose other than "talk about the stupid thing a journalist said this time". Some have suggested megathreads, but that alone doesn't solve the problem, as we can see. Others have suggested rate limiting, or forcing some sort of posting ratio, but again that probably won't solve the problem, and might only lead to frustration and even more extreme autism.

I personally think that some level of topic focus might be the best solution.

To that end my skeletal thoughts are a board that contains:

1) Broad topic threads. Details to be determined, but something that could follow the model of the Biden and Meghan threads.
2) some sort of "stupid journalistic takes" thread. Not a whole board, otherwise it ends up being A&N mk2
3) Discourage reporting for disagreement
4) Encourage better ops. Most of A&N's ops are god-damn awful. Though this might be obviated somewhat, if the broad topic threads idea takes hold
5) Ban the naming of the Hibernian
5) A regularly rotated general news thread. Something like a news megathread, which soaks up all the random articles that people post, like the interesting clickbait thread but with a broader scope. Close it and post a new one every 200 pages or something.
6) Rename the board to "News and Political Content"

I'd also suggest keeping a tighter lid on the Happenings board, which currently gets a fair number of poorly disguised "this article is stupid and I want to complain about jews/niggers/democrats/republicans" threads.

I've not thought about Deep Thoughts in this. It's got its own little microsubculture, even inside the thunderdome, so I think it would need to remain separate.

I know it's hard for you QAnoners to accept, but not everyone who isn't a Republican loving boomer is a pedophile. Not all gay people are pedophiles

Teaching children to not hate gay people and that gay people exist isn't grooming them, despite what your megachurch pastor and Q told you.

QAnoners used to get mocked on Kiwi Farms, now A&H is full of them

No, I think everyone exposed in the groomer thread and everybody who opposes said thread is a groomer. Now it's just a question of who opposes it.

I highly advise people to check it out for themselves and be the judge.

There's a difference between not wanting to have gay shit shoved down your throat and forcing girls as young as 10 to get fingered by adults to own the libs.

The Instagram literally claims age, that's where they got the image. Either it's a 15 year old boy shirtless or a 15 year old girl shirtless, and since Matt Walsh's documentary is about how trans people aren't real, under his definition it's a 15 year old girls bare chest.

Believe it or not even your average retarded Q anon boomer doesn't support young girls being touched to own the libs. unless you live in a fantasy land the vast majority of right wing people even the Q anon Pol tards tend to have a better track record of not diddling kids vs LGBTQ groomers or the Catholic church.

I mean I don't think he is a Q tard and as someone who has actually had to hear the insanity from Q anon he isn't a "trust the plan" "Donald trump is secretly president."

Seriously what's your bitterness against evangelicals. like most of them are just crazy or country not bad folks.

The solution is staring you all right in the face.

Just make a vTuber forum. That way all the people in A&H will have people to look at and go 'at least we're not those people', gain perspective, and realize that they should be grateful for what they have.
