>what are signs that they use this site?>how can you tell if someone is honest about using this site?>how can you tell between oldfags and newfags
>>34097090>>how can you tell between oldfags and newfagsyou make threads like this
>>34097244There's a difference between a lurk moar newfag, someone that's been here for 10 years and someone that's been here since the 2000's.
>>34097090I won't tell you, you retard
>>34097090NO i have a reputation for being “the 4chan guy” in my local music scene because i told my friend i used to shill my band on /mu/ years ago. also it doesnt help that i constantly make edgy jokes and say slurs but yea never talk about 4chan irl. normies think its a child porn and gore website and anyone who actually uses it will think youre a fag
>>34097861It confuses me that 4chan still has the reputation it does. >anyone who actually uses it will think youre a fagThey would be right. I got another question? Is mentioning it the problem or just using it?
no I wouldn’t do that and what that guy said is right if you do meet someone who does use it they will think you’re a retarded fag
>>34098016Okay. I'm going stay quiet. But I hope I find people that understand me. I will someday.
>>34097935using it is cool when youre a loner in high school but every year you get closer to 30 it gets exponentially less cool
>>34097090Im 33 and tell people I use 4chan. I even name the boards I frequent (/adv/, /fit/, /sci/, /an/, and /pol/)I literally dgaf
>>34097090Never talk about any online sites you use except Instagram, Tiktok or some piracy site you use to watch stuff
>>34098127Based af! How do people react? I get that a lot people don't know what the site IS anymore.
>>34098211
>>34098216Of course they don't know
>>3409786> i constantly make edgy jokes and say slursYou made the mistake of not just saying casually that you use 4chan, but actively behaving as if your entire personality and outlook on life is based on what you learned on 4chan.I have casually mentioned it to other people and I even know one person who also visits this site, but we don’t about it as if our lives are centered around it. Basing your entire sense of self around anything online is probably not healthy anyway. Online culture should be for entertainment only.
>>34097090>Is it safe to bring up you use 4chan now?Rules 1 and 2, newfag.
>>34097090It's just as safe as bringing up you watch porn or go to a house party. I hear people talk about the crazy shit they encounter at parties and are okay with it. 4chan ain't that different. Whomever doesn't believe that is a turbo nerd.
>>34098263> You made the mistake of not just saying casually that you use 4chan, but actively behaving as if your entire personality and outlook on life is based on what you learned on 4chan.yup thats me, im a zoomer and been using the site for over a decade so my entire personality is shaped by the internet, unfortunately. im working on it
>>34097090You really don't want to be known as the 30-something year old That Guy who thinks he's cool for injecting edgy epithets and /pol/ tier racism/schizoshit into every convo while people smile and try their best not to interact with you. Just tell people you doomscroll on tiktok and twitter like everyone else.
>>34098414You're a retarded millennial. That schizoshit is the mainstream now.
>>34098408>>34098263fucking same, how do i stop? do i just quit 4chan and i go back to normal?
>>34098408>>34098609You don’t have to quit 4chan. You just need to have a meaningful life outside of it, preferably in the real world, so that your personality is not solely defined by 4chan but simply augmented by it.I have a job and friends and a relatively normal life. When my friends and I hang out, we rarely if ever talk about 4chan. We have enough to do outside of that. 4chan is simply a small part of my personality, but it is not the majority and I have a definitive sense of my own identity without resorting to anything from the internet. But I still browse 4chan because it’s entertaining.Back in the 80’s and 90’s, there was some renewed debate about whether or not entertainment media like television, music, and video games caused people to become violent. It definitely does have a profound impact on people who know little else like children. But for people who have a real life and for children that grew up properly doing productive things, violence in media has very little impact on their behavior.
Not in most situations.I personally tell people but only if they're around my age and if I think they understand the internet and online subcultures like 4chan.Honestly some of my favourite conversations have been with other channers IRL about this website, they're very memorable moments when they happen. I honestly just love this website and talking about it with others when I get the chance.
I regularly bring up 4chan use irl to make the covert anons uncomfortable.

>>34098955im not reading your post because you posted a porn star, your brain is more fried than anyone sorry
>>34097090>what are signs that they use this site?yeah nice try Mr Goldberg. You guys have had years to study this site and yet still are too incompetent to understand the userbase. Ever thought that maybe trying to purposefully obfuscate truth from the masses would eventually catch up you
>>34099084Then get the fuck out of this website. There's an entire porn section on this site you god damn above-it-all-style oblivious cynic.
>>34097090>what are signs that they use this site?Usually it's some smartass white guy who desperately tries to show he is different from everyone. Sometimes they appear emo, sometimes like a hipster, or sometimes like a nerd who appears regular but something feels off.>how can you tell between oldfags and newfagsContrary to belief I'm an oldfag. I've always been the short end of the stick here, but have gotten better. During 2009 I was one of the internet's annoying 12 year olds (Yeah I know the math is off, but I was sometimes in the 00's I was in middle school) Has it changed? Unfortunately not, and I'm still working on it despite being 31 now.
>>34099289It sets me apart from anons here. I'm essentially saying I have balls to not hide and bully people. You all bully people and cower away. I make myself vulnerable with a I can take it attitude. You see same person I am on and off this site. You're a fucking chameleon.
>>34099289You're like this one guy I knew from college who joked around a lot and the moment I saw him at a party he was the complete opposite absolutely depressed and doing drugs.
>>34099365Then tell 4chan administration to do what /b/ did which is block it out. Alright. Maybe password protect the name feature so only jannies and moderators can only use.
>>34099365Now is that currently happening? No. Then it is fairly and equally for me to "namefag" like ANYONE else. Added you're terrible at reading. You don't see me going around reading people like they're fucking schizophrenic, I actually put in more effort when I listen and read people compared to you. I refuse to put up with your totalitarian territorial behavior. You don't like me putting my name up here, treat everyone including yourself the same. "Oh but it won't be fun anymore" no shit it ain't, because you're no fucking fun right now.
>>34099386You really are a newfag./b/ has been a digital "To catch a predator" honeypot since before hiroshim00t took over, /pol/ is both an Intel dead drop and a place to psychic drive young retards like yourself into commiting illegal acts they didn't even know were illegal...then they have you on the hook. This place isn't what you think it is, anon.>I refuse to put up with your totalitarian territorial behavior. Oh SHIT! Dis goan be GUD!go ahead...do your BEST, faggot..LOLOLOLOLOL!I really tried to fucking warn you.>ME ME ME ME!!Go on with your BAD SELF then...It's not what I want that has any bearing here, you fucking MONG, nor what (you) want.>because you're no fucking fun right now.Not the fucking point.You're a kid, maybe smarter than you are demonstrating; but you really oughta LURK MORE before you assume there are no drug dealers, gangsters, or child molesters in your new "Playground"Good luck young adventurer! you'll *Snigger* NEED it.No need to reply, I'll never post to you again.
op, if you are real... i had an internet addiction, once. like about 10 years ago.basically youtube and its algo dictated my next click. i did not even live anymore. luckily someone told me and i went for digital detox.
>>34099507God scares me, but Hell doesn't.
