I see that a lot of people are anonymous. Why is that? I'm using 4chan for the first time, so I want to know what the culture is like on it. Is there a general channel where I can learn more about 4chan? Any advice would be great, thanks!
Check the subreddit, that's what we mostly use anyway.
lurk more, new frog!
Lurk more newfag
>>739935197the primary appeal of 4chan is that since everyone is anonymous people are less fake and more honest. When people use their real identity they will hide embarrassing things and be too scared to have an unpopular opinion.If you do not post anonymously, it is insulting to the users of this website because it shows that you are excessively narcissistic. Your identity is utterly worthless here, yet you cling to it like it has value. The only acceptable time to have a user name on 4chan is a temporary single-thread identifier if it is required for some function, like if you're hosting a game lobby or something
>>739935197We don't post tranime here
>le anonymous board>you need to waste a month at best to understand who is who
>>739935494There are actually only two people that use this website. There's the person reading this post right now and me. All posts on this website not made by you, the person reading this post right now, were made by me.

>>739935197>I want to know what the culture is likeWe say the word nigger a lot. If you don't like then you'll just have to leave.
What does the moot even do?
NIGGER NIGGER NIGGERS
because uhm we are uhmbecause we are le ("The") legionecks dee ("XD")Make sure to pick up your complimentary pinku (Yamatojin for pink) bento box for visiting 4channel online.
>>739935552people are still going to be sheep to an extent but try checking out the situation on any other social media platform. Everyone is so terrified of the possibility of getting dog-piled for wrongthink or having their post dug up 20 years from now and linked to their real identity that they have to constantly walk on egg shells. Meanwhile on 4chan you can post the most retarded bullshit ever and the worst possible outcome is some guy calling you a retard
>>739935197Im not anononymous, Im pseudonymous which could be stolen by other pseuds
Say ja.
I don't. CARE.
OP here. Disregard that, I suck cocks.
>>739935464*cirno freezes you and uses you as an ice chair* What now?
>>739935789giwtwm
>>739935197baka baka baka baka baka
cirno is a fucking disabled freak
oooh scary scary
>>739935587who?wasn't that diddy blud in the Epstein files?
>>7399359924chan originally had a dedicated loli board when moot made it
>>739935549I made this post
Toby Brooks here. I hate niggers.
Lurk moar, newfag
>>739935438My brother in christThis site is filled with shills, people with agenda, extremists, mentally ill, egomaniacsHonesty is like a shiny pokemon in this website
>>739935438More like they're going to spinelessly post shit takes and bait. Anons are still averse to share genuine opinions, either because they're unlikely to get (you)s or because they'd be instantly drowned in negative feedback.
>>739936945Earnestness tends to beget earnestness, and while that does mean you sometimes have to put in more effort yourself I find most of my conversations here to be genuine
>>739935438In practice 4chan is the most milquetoast site on the internet in 2026 though
would you rather cirno or daiyousei
>>739936980I am honest 95% of the time when I post.
>>739936980that's because anons don't have genuine opinions anymore, they steal all their thoughts from shittubers and twitter screenshots
Fairies
>>739937407It's either that or looking for one that will parrot your own opinions back at you. In any case anons don't confront opinions to see a bigger picture, but rather fling shit at each other until they feel like they won an argument.
You guys don't use your real name here ?
>>739937742I use my dad's name so if I ever get caught doing something naughty then it'll be my dad going to jail and not me
>>739937742>>739937786Wow you are so funny. Maybe grow some balls and use a real pseudonym like the big boys do
>>739935197How is being anonymous a bad thing?
>>739935197Every single post is made by a single user, whose user name is anonymouse.
>>739935197You generally only use the name field in your OP when you want to make it harder for other posters to impersonate you.There are "tripfags" who always use the name field and "avatarfags" who always post the same image as a pfp but they're frowned up
>>739937972The same name*
>>739937886Right. My bad bro
>>739935197i am in your walls
>>739937972Like this?
>>739938042Now keep it. I dare you
>>739938074I live in a crop field.
>>739936205Who the fuck are you?I made that post
>>739938591I made this post.
>>739935197 Just say popular game bad and that cavemandcj is a nigger. You'll be hailed as a hero
Are poster IDs cringe or based?
>>739939112I'd like to say they are based to help detect samefags (like that one retard who replies to himself 30 times) or not samefags (i.e. understand that you might be having a dialect with a different person than originally) but I assume that in practice the samefags and glowies will just switch IPs to get around it.
>>739935197No one is, everyone is being recorded at all times and doesn't know it. Especially if you have a smartphonet. knower>show proofintensive research on 4chan and discernment on privacy
>>739939112I've been in places that they have them, it really depends if you want high quality serious game discussion or more fun and loose chit chat like here
>>739938908No you didn'tI did
Everyone here should be forced to use names and flags, we get too much board overspill from the fag homo board larpers from /pol/ who do nothing but dilute and cover themselves in shit to make us look bad
