yeah maybe 15 years ago. unfortunately pic related happened and now it's no longer just ironic shitposting. people are shitposting because it's the only way they know how to communicate. being able to say "nigger" used to just be a neat feature of 4chan. nowadays you say it when you can't refute a point because you're a mental midget.

Tech just attracts midwits like nothing else probably because the barrier to entry is way too fucking low nowadays. Any retard able to string together half a dozen frameworks and a few snippets of shitoverflow code thinks he's hot shit and when they find out they don't even understand the most fundamental basics they start screeching, in /g/s case about trannies.
I have 18+ years professional experience with AI/ML, you cannot even begin to imagine how much effort I put into avoiding any thread mentioning it post GPT/SD leak hype. Seeing a bunch of knuckle dragging troglodytes screech buzzwords they don't even understand at each other actually comes with the risk of me dying from second hand embarrassment.

you want the real reason this sentiment is so pervasive? it's people getting older. everyone and i mean EVERYONE at some point has gone "[thing] used to be so much better. what le happened?????" what they actually mean is that it was good when they were younger and because they are no longer young that it is now bad. just look at the incessant seething over zoomers. it's all butthurt milliennials whose hairlines are receding and who are upset they're no longer the center of attention. we're going to see it again later in the decade when core zoomers starts hitting 30 (and honestly i can't wait for that meltdown because they are going to record all of it on tiktok).

found 4chan in 2014, watched it blow up with the 2016 election. back then the main contrarian take was anti-feminism. it was all over the place. ive seen a lot of oldfag posts about how election tourists and reddit refugees ruined 4chan.

ive also seen a lot of oldfag posts about how racism/sexism used to be ironic but isn't anymore, and how everyone is more hostile. i dont know how true that is.

i used to take these post more seriously until i started seeing posts saying the same things, but instead of 2015 being the turning point it was 2020, or something else. at that point i'd been here long enough to know there hadn't been any drastic change.

the only things i can say for certain is that /r9k/ used to have more incels, and /pol/ used to have less bots.

that's true to a degree. HN is far from being as bad as reddit though. you're not going to have your comment deleted for wrongthink. any time it's an article that deals with woke shit there's plenty of highly voted comments that speak out against it. the problem as i mentioned earlier (well, problem to many users of this site) is that you have to be able to express your opinion without racial slurs being every 5th word.

>>101421473
>i dont know how true that is.
it's 100% true. in the 2000s this site was primarily younger gen X/older milliennials. for the most part they were normal people, they just had weird interests. were there the stereotypical neckbeards? of course but they were the minority. 4chan was just a place to blow off steam. again as i said earlier in this thread here >>101420411, saying "nigger" was just a feature of the site and not the primary focus.
>>
>>101421473
/r9k/ is unrecognizable since the pink pill spam shit. A board dedicated to unique posts has turned into one with generals about having sex with your mother and being a “female robot”.
>>
>>101421473
Yeah that makes sense and funnily enough was pretty much the era I figured. I've been here for far too long, long enough to remember when this place was actually good™. You know back when it was still /g/uro. But /g/ as in the "tech" board has been as retarded as it is today basically since it became the tech board give or take a few degrees of retardation. Sure there are phases where /g/ is noticeably more retarded than usual but the real major difference I'd say is that we now have generals instead of 20-60% of the catalogue just being dead threads that belong in /sqt/.
As for /r9k/ it was much different before the supreme gentlemen had a rough interaction with a door, but after that I can't argue that there was a steep drop in quality but that incident just killed the entire fucking board. I haven't been there much since.
But yeah the $currentYear - $x is when the board/4chan died shit is mostly just cyclical since few people have actually been here long enough to witness more than one or two culture shifts on any given board and see the broader trends. There were phases when /b/ was good, there were phases when /g/ was good, hell there were phases when /bant/ was good and so on and so forth. Perspective on this in my experience mostly differs depending on how early people first found 4chan. In my opinion this place isn't even a shadow of what it used to be but what we have is still better than anything else I found out there which is why I keep coming back here every now and then.
Damn what a pointless rambling blogpost.

All upboat sites are the same, functionally.
The only thing that changes is the cohort using the site. People copied Slashdot in the nerdsphere. Slashdot had user karma and comment voting. A few years later after the sites that copied Slashdot sprung up, Slashdot's own founder was throwing in the towel because the site had gone to such irredeemable shit.
What changed? Did the thread voting system change? Did the karma change? No. What changed is the selection of users enforcing groupthink in 2002 was radically different from the users enforcing groupthink in 2011.
Is orange reddit worse than reddit proper? Probably not. But is its cohort now so large and mainstream that it's been rendered stupid by an influx of much more average people? Of course it has.

I think the sharty faggots have a modicum of point when they mock oldfags; the language and memes different, but honestly the people here were never very intelligent, and if you go with the flow and appreciate the culture as it washes over you, there's still fun to be had and things to learn.
>>
>>101422628
lain does not contain any boards where your sexuality would matter. You can be as anit- or as pro-faggotry as you want because it wont matter.
Its like an extended /g/ board mostly, with /diy/ /lit/ and /drg/ maybe not being quite on that topic.
>>
>>101422657
I mean that if I catch a whiff of tranny I will break out the mockery because I am an irreverant asshole. My brief time lurking on Lain leads me to believe they don't like that much.

>>101422689
i did not encounter any troon over there. In fact, I did not even encounter any man or woman over there, because its an anonymous image board where the topic is tech and not gender

I tend to associate people I disagree with with things I personally hate so it is easier for me to attack them with an irrelevant strawman. It's a core tenet of a true to the heart retard who can't refute properly.

It's kind of how for a while economists all made these podcasts about every topic imaginable. Because economists thought they understood *everything* just because they did an intro course on statistics.

It's the most midwit of internet discussion forums. The typical poster there has an IQ in the 110-120 range but thinks they're a genius with special understanding of almost everything. They're incredibly sensitive about appearing to be virtuous by the standards of the dominate cultural trends as promoted by the media. Above all else, it's a board of people whose entire identity is wrapped up in appearing to be smarter than the average person, who they hate intensely.
Some of that applies to this place too but I believe the intelligence range here is wider, with plenty of posters of average or even sub-average intelligence but also plenty of well above average. Midwits are here too but they don't dominate anywhere near as much as they do on HN. My guess is that intelligence here is a bimodal distribution with a slight dip in the midwit range while HN is a bell curve with a mean of 115 and a SD of 5.

i don't think it's just about intelligence, which you allude to when you talk about their desire to be seen as virtuous by media standards. they have a different ideology for genetic reasons so they behave pretty different from us.

So you have no clue what you're talking about because you've only ever experienced this site at its lowest points. You've only seen it during the era where a focus on culture wars and srs bsnss was the norm, all memes were just variants of frogs, wojaks, and gigachads, the userbase was opposed to the very topics this site solely exists as a result of, and shitposts got taken seriously enough that entire swarms of literal downies feel they're in good company. You weren't even here when /x/ was about spooky and paranormal stuff rather than /pol/ conspiracy theories, christianity, and retarded new age cults.

>>101423757
There is a coordinated effort to make it miserable. Observe and notice how things that are off topic or tangentially on-topic to a given board get deleted if they're something fun that anons get together and have a good time with, such as animal webm threads on /v/, while tangentially on-topic or completely off topic and irrelevant things like political threads that involve anons getting angry and screeching at each other tend to stay up and archive safely after bump limit.

I think it must be that the boards with higher cost of entry have higher posting quality. To get a gun you must be 18 (and not a criminal). To do DIY you must own a house so you must be an adult (and not a young adult in this economy)

As someone with over 15 years of programming experience in San Francisco, I find this article absolutely riveting. It's a fascinating intersection of astrophysics and computational science, showcasing the extraordinary potential of high-performance computing [1].

In my career, I've witnessed firsthand how computational techniques have evolved, allowing us to model incredibly complex systems with remarkable accuracy [2]. The level of detail in these cosmic simulations—capturing the dynamics of accretion disks and relativistic jets—is a testament to the advancements in both hardware and software [3].

These simulations require not only theoretical knowledge but also exceptional coding and optimization skills [4]. It’s a remarkable achievement, considering the sheer scale and complexity of the phenomena being modeled [5]. This kind of work reminds us of the profound impact that computational science can have on our understanding of the universe [6].

Kudos to the teams behind these simulations. They exemplify the cutting-edge of what our field can achieve, pushing the boundaries of human knowledge and expanding our horizons. It’s discoveries like these that keep the spark alive for many of us in the tech world [7].

/k/ is so well moderated that you get your posts deleted in seconds and get banned for posting images and videos of americans getting btfo, but, guess what, you can post similar images of russians getting btfo and nothing happens...
/k/ is glowie central, in a literal sense.
