Wait, why would he p- oh yeah, culture war stuff. He saw the Magypsies in some screenshot and decided he had to play a beautiful game as a form of spite. He really is a great representation of why 4chan is so shitty.

what i mean is actually using the tools the game gives you. i see too many people play JRPGs by just holding A through every battle which takes like 10 minutes.

What I find strange is that he's replying to posts that say "4chan is mostly dead because high quality posters moved to twitter" with positive advice for what twitter employees should do to the site and then advocates for adding boards to twitter.
Is it stockholm syndrome? It makes no sense to me.
>>
>>23868695
>high quality posters
>moved to twitter
is he retarded? You literally can't make quality posts on a platform with limit of 140 characters per post. "Threads" that are strings of 20+ xeets are utterly fucking retarded
>Is it stockholm syndrome? It makes no sense to me.
I think there are many things he can't do without hiro's approval (like, say, everything that's not maintenance like captcha) so he copes by believing that good posters moved to Xitter

The speedrunning event that is still declining, AGDQ, is done. Here are the /v/ rating charts for this year:
>>>/v/730592450
Pic is a chart of the total ratings.
The most interesting thing to happen this year is that the fire alarm at the event center was pulled twice. Naturally one of runs where the alarm went off is /v/'s best rated run.

>>23868695
Complaining about the lack of quality on 4chan is interesting for somebody whose posting behaviors, habits and politics are all rooted in /r9k/ and /pol/, horrible low-moderation boards that largely got that way through being allowed to fester, or in /pol/'s case through being created *at all* to cater to the kind of horrible poster that infested news boards and /b/ prior to it

Also for somebody that, you know, holds some of the keys to the site and can dictate how mods act and operate, since mods here are very guilty of curtailing boards in specific directions through selective rule enforcement.

>You literally can't make quality posts on a platform with limit of 140 characters per post
you just aren't very creative, brevity is the soul of wit and some of the funniest posts online are from twitter. the issue is people trying to force it to be used for discussion and arguing, which is how you get shitty 20 tweet threads that are just uninformed political diatribes.
>>
>>23869281
>you just aren't very creative, brevity is the soul of wit
the problem with Twitter is that it artificially forces quick remarks to be the only way for people to properly talk online
how can you discuss ANYTHING when all replies are either gotchas or (cont. 1/88)?

currently and since basically the entire 2010s, yeah twitter is dogshit and the worst place online if you treat it as a forum, but
>how can you discuss ANYTHING
is why i said
>the issue is people trying to force it to be used for discussion and arguing
twitter is at its best when it's used as a microblogging platform for people to use their account as a test run for their standup routines, not as a soapbox or place to discuss anything of importance.

>brevity is the soul of wit and some of the funniest posts online are from twitter.
twitter's content creation capabilities have collapsed since the pandemic.

OC makers went to reddit, illustrators / artists are desperately looking to places to gtfo to but currently nothing is beating twitter.

comedians can't beat the bots and haven't been able to for years. weird twitter is just dead.

The only people who drive on twitter are celebrities these days. Maybe an illustrator will make another doro, but that's about it. Everyone wants to get out, nobody cant stand the algorithm or the endless bots.

oh yeah right, how could I forget a platform that somehow has worse standard post format than 140 chars of Twitter
>>
>>23869353
that's true. but that's less to do with character limits and more to do with the changing state of the internet and the blue check algorithm changes killing what was already a dying corpse. "i guess we doin circles now" was still a pretty funny non-text meme though.

>>23869362
fair, there are funnier ones here and there i'll see but i either forget to save them or they're too specific to use as examples. and yeah again most of twitter is dogshit (especially now), but there have been enough examples of funny posts that have come from there for me to think it's problems are more with the userbase and moderation rather than the tweet format.

We'll see. They said the reason was that the upload date feature didn't work properly (only broken on mobile IIRC) but instead of fixing the problem, they removed the whole feature. But is it not possible to see the positive of this double-edged update?

After one cursory look through /pol/ I have to ask: how do bots on 4chan actually work? Do they just have teams of Indians copy-paste AI-generated paragraphs? Or is it like actual coded bots posting? How does that work?

There's more to discussion than being amusing to other people. You can't properly sperg out about your favorite animu, vidya gaym, or tabletop story in 140 characters or less.

>the issue is people trying to force it to be used for discussion
that's not what twitter's supposed to be used for. it's a microblogging platform not a discussion platform, which is why the text limit is there and the image/video support is recent and limited, but as of the mid-2010s every website started trying to be the same as every other one, so now twitter is yet another omni-site that tries a million things and fails at them all. it's the same problem with artists wondering why twitter is so shit for art, and yet not realising it's because they're trying to fit a square through a circle hole.

There's no point solving a captcha for a reply barely anybody will read, but for a thread that will have thousands of eyeballs on it, that's it worth it every time. You get what you incentivise. Enjoy the enshittification of 4chan.

You can blame Final fantasy for that. The series treats the mechanics like a vehicle for the story, rather than a prize that you earn for playing good.
