4chan died sometime a decade ago and hasn't been the same since. In its current state this website is unrecognizable at best and actively harmful to the psyche at worst. What's weird is that the people who notice this and comment upon it are objectively outnumbered by a constant, never-ending influx of newfags.

All of the spark, mirth and joy of early 4chan is gone. Even the term oldfag has lost its meaning. The question is where we actually go from here, since no one cares to fix the site and no one wants real change, a real community, anything beyond shitposts, porn and spam.

In truth, I think it's just an age thing. 4chan was great, then it became an incubator, hence why "You're here forever" is the one mantra even the most cynical anon repeats mindlessly.

OP screenshot is disingenuous because it doesn't complain about right-wing and stormfronters. We used to make fun of those types for being fucking crazy now they're shitting up the entire website and acting like they own the place. /sci/ is a dead board thanks to them.

>>102426313
It's a dialectic. 4chan actually became awful around 2013/14 and 2016 is just used as a scapegoat due to politics.

It was downhill before that, the response to GG was at the end of a long line of moderation failures. 2011 was the real tipping point. It didn't affect all boards at first, but the need for generals and subsequent cancer that generals are was one symptom of the problem.

Unironically and sadly, it was the pedos and nazis that kept the cancer at bay (children, normies and lefties). When they dissapeared, the floodgates opened.

Wrong I first came here in 2006, after some /b/tards raided a pokemon forum I was part of. They spammed digimon hentai for a week straight and made the faggot admin that everyone hated cope and seethe so much, It was the funniest shit I ever seen. The admin got so mad that he took the forum offline for 2 months, but before that I message the guys saying how funny their were and where they came from and they explain 4chan to me. And I was the coolest website I ever used, It was way better to read than any shitty phpb forum. At first I used most for vidya discussion and to find other cool websites, then I stayed for tech stuff and libertarianism. I stayed until 2014 during my last year of college when I got busy with work and school and almost completelly offline only using email for work stuff. My life was great I had a good job, a gf, didn't spent much time only, it was perfect.
BUT THEN THE LIBTARD FAGGOTS, CHINKS, GLOWNIGGERS, AND KIKES RUINED EVERYTHING WITH THE FAKE CORONAHOAX MEMEDEMIC THAT LOCKED UP EVERYTHING AND MADE ME COM BACK TO THIS SHITHOLE OUTTA BOREDOM.
I WANT MY LIFE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

It will move to a different platform or be the birth of an alt board to post on. There really isn't anything big enough happening to splinter 4chan again like that happened with 8. Their splinter boards are still lingering but yeah, thats pretty much it.

I loved it, because I had 2 years doing NOTHING. There was no online exams because professors knew that safe exam browser has been patched to be bypassed already and 2 camera setup wasn't viable, so everyone would cheat. So they just cancelled all tests and I played videogames for 2 years straight.
It did fuck up my social skills though and sometimes I wonder if I would have a gf if corona didn't happen because I was 19 at the time, which is the best time for this
But I can't regret it because I don't know what would happen, so I still love it

This. I wouldn't even mind if they stuck to their containment board. But they simply cannot resist the urge to ruin every other board as well. And the jannies gave up long ago, despite what some schizos might think. Then again, this place is astroturfed to hell and back by every nation and intelligence agency on the planet and there's proof of it from various leaks so why settle for shitposting on only one board if you want to cause chaos?

Culture evolves; I still enjoy 4chan. It's nice having a place where I can say whatever I want anonymously and reach a large audience. No likes, no algorithms, no narcissistic gatekeeping. There aren't many other places on the internet like this these days. Sure, it's mostly shit but it has always been mostly shit. There's just more shit these days because there's more users than there was in the past. Still plenty of lulz to be had.

> um acktually
There was an essay by Paul Graham on how keeping your identity small on the internet was beneficial. What happened then was people who were not anonymous tended to keep their identity small so that they would not be attacked partisanly over things like religous association or race. This extended into anonymous forums because people were there for things like Javascript or baking or other topics people talk about on forums. As a rule, any mention of religion on an online forum degenerates into a religious argument. What religion and politics have in common is that they become part of people's identity, and people can never have a fruitful argument about something that's part of their identity. By definition they're partisan.

Tl;Dr: They were centrist because they were being polite; they were hiding their identity and keeping it out of the discussion. Today this is different, we have a whole field of "identity politics"

Only important bit here is about Indians. They're a nuisance across the entire internet. The fact is many of those people did not have internet back then, and there's a billion of them sharing the internet with us now. The other day I tried searching for a video trend on YouTube and sorted by newest and was surprised that the vast majority of content was Indian. Twitter gets more Indian every year. This is a real problem we need to sort out. I'd be in favor of banning the entire subcontinent from connecting to this website.

I don't think the average American poster who arrived here post-2013 is a problem. The problem is just Indians—they're why this place feels more low-IQ and humorless than it used to. (I myself am a newfag who has only been here since 2007)
>>
>>102427491
>billion of them sharing the internet with us
More like 10 million because the rest are too retarded to find 4chan luckily. They are on mainstream sites instead. But I imagine Facebook, Twitter, Reddit must be full of Indians
This would be a cause for concern if the lower quality jeetposts made homosexuals from these platforms move here, but right now it seems like they are accepting it and instead lowering their standards to India level, which is pretty funny

>Mods and jannies like generals because it made their jobs easier
One side effect of this is that the existence of generals makes jannies completely give up on moderating the catalog, so even a decent general can be a net-negative by making the catalog around it turn into an unmoderated ocean of shit.

It is not 4chan, people everywhere are becoming dumber and dumber, to the point where not being a fucking retard gets you ousted out for not fitting in with the legions of dumb fucks spewing tons of bullshit every time they talk. It is all down to the quality of the people.

On /a/, for example, if you enter a thread about a work which requires a bit more brain maturity to understand and appreciate, there are fewer posts, but of acceptable quality. If you enter a thread about a work which is mostly enjoyed by teenagers due to it being wacky, simple and more action focused, you see no discussion, only a pack of apes throwing crap on each other.

Try to point out a single large website or community which improved over the past decade, there are none. The more users there are, the worse the quality is.

Going forward, especially considering what happened to reddit, we should assume that basically everything we read online is botted and propaganda.

Actually when it comes to history, books are the least accurate. Nowadays to prove something you need multiple witnesses and video, while just 60 years ago an eyewitness account of a single individual would be enough for a historical "fact".
You would be surprised how much of historical information is just books describing what one person said that he heard from another well known person

Mea Culpa

I feel somewhat guilty for the state of 4chan as it is.

back in 2008 I was on /n/ - News (not transportation, fuck those choo-choofags).

It was just funny to post the most racist shit imaginable because people would genuinely get mad at it. I would copy entire threads from Stormfront, with the replies and everything to make it seem like it was a genuine thread full of people discussing racist shit.

I never could have predicted that people took it seriously or it would eventually morph into /pol/

It wasn't only me, but I helped. I was there, 3000 years ago.

some boards (/a/, for example) are truly shadows of their former selves. but others are still going relatively strong. if you can dodge the rage bait and propaganda, /v/ is actually really close to a sfw old /b/. the website has changed, and gotten more popular, but the world has also changed. the stuff that went on in 4chan's early years would never fly now that there are real consequences for illegal shit and raiding and whatnot. also, we've growen up. the guys posting about lolcatz on /b/ in 2007 are now in their 30s and 40s. you can't expect everyone to be the same as they were 20 years ago.

with that being said, i still love coming to this site. there is a certain type of retarded humor that only 4chan has. altchans don't have it. leddit doesn't have it. old school forums SOMETIMES have it, but they're few and far between, and honestly a pain to read. parts of 4chan have changed a lot, but other parts are still something of a time machine back to the 2000s. this is also still the best place to discuss certain fringe internet topics and interests (vtubers, trackers, etc), and there are legitimately good threads on the site if you take the time to look. /dpt/ and /hsg/ are legitimately high quality and useful

people change very little after a certain point personality wise. at around 15-18 i'd say you're going to more or less be the same your entire life. age just makes you jaded and bitter and sometimes more accepting of your flaws. your core true self doesn't change a whole lot after high school i'd argue. the mask you put on in front of others might change sure.

the fact that he thought /pol/ was ever good enough to be 'ruined' proves he's the problem. the entire reason that board was created in the first place was that we all got tired of stormfags and their obnoxious bullshit and moot thought ok maybe if we give them a containment board they'll fuck off to there and stay there. this didn't happen. you people metastasized like a cancer. YOU are the reason this site is dead. 4chan used to be libertarian left if anything. it was largely apolitical. the neonazis fucked it all up.

Stormfags and Neonazi ideology are both red herrings and anyone entertaining either as a serious existential threat shouldn't be taken seriously. That said, the political culture war bullshit would have happened with or without /pol/, because it's only a reflection of what's happening in the real world with grossly partisan societal issues.

youre a dumb nigger. Storm seething was because of jews shitting up the place thanks to gamergate. The entire concept of new and pol was pushed for by glowniggers after moot got his ear pinched by his silverstream media uncle. The entire un called gamers who called out dod funding of journalists terrorists. Moot banned anyone from talking about it. He was forced to sell this shithole or get clintoned. Then clinton and oboomer ran that gay drumpf wargame on their shiny new board while trying to take down dubs chan.

4chan was never left leaning. Libertarian values died here because people grew up and realized those values where worthless at insulating them from all this shit. The entire process by which 4chan was ruined was because of leftist meddling. The entire purpose of leftist activity on the internet is to police peoples speech. You are coping and sneeding. If you havent dropped your commie values by your 30s you are just low iq.
>i-im not a commie
Yes you are. The government is just a company some ancaps set to the purpose of running a protection racket to mcnuke anyone who threatens their profits. They do that by enslaving the public with """"voulentary""""" debt slavery and socialist policies. They simply own all institutions. This country sold out before anyone alive today was around to see what it was like before the fed. Your policies dont work. They are never real free markets to you. Because the truth is the moment that power vacuum is filled people take their gains to the vault and lock them away. If you own billions youve lied and cheated your values too, gaurenteed. If not you are a cooping shitting and sneeding slave like the rest of us goy, nose or no nose. Now fuck off back to whence thou came

Jews will tell you what happened but never why. That nothing burger called gaymer gate happened because during that spat /v/ uncovered silver stream media, the alleged whore slept with, revieced funds from the department of defense. Guess who moots uncle works for. That same company, so moot, the uncle, and the fucking military came down on /v/ like a bag of gay dildo handled hammers. The un declared gamers terrorists over it. What would have been fucking nothing snowballed into the end of the site. Speaking of dod glowniggers, theyve owned /b/ since 2008 and forced moot to hand them the keys to it. Theyre the ones who dropped all their sanitized blackmail porn onto /b/. None of us would have had the chance to obtain any of that, furthermore nobody but glowniggers were allowed to moderate /b/.

The failure of these gay spooks to control /v/ led to those containment efforts and the selling of the site. Subsiquently, the site became a test bed for kvetching kikes seething that virgin fat retards clould ever discover their expert scheme to funnel money into video game journos for no real reason likely but more money trading (((favors))) via tax dollars.

I've been here since 2006 and retards have been saying this same shit for literal decades.
Newfags keep forgetting that the purpose of this place was so that ordinary people could have throw-away conversations without having useless dick-measuring contests based on popularity or points. Where the value of your comments was based on how creative/intriguing/entertaining you were.
The entire notion of "back in mah day", let alone a sense of 'chan community, is retarded when applied to 4chan. The entire reason why 4chan became shit was because people kept trying to memorialize the content posted here and added egos into the mix, thinking it was anything more than momentary entertainment.

Do you want to know how bad this site has become? For the past 7 years popular memes on reddit and twiter got reposted here instead of the opposite being true. If you see a polemic on twitter you can bet you'll see one of two threads discussing it on the relevant boards
Template threads and OC? Regurgitated from twitter
Zoomerspeak? From tiktok
Cultural impact? From GPT

It's over
Thankfully for the permanently online dweller there's still darknet or some i2p imageboards. But the better solution to this problem is unironically to GO OUTSIDE, because that's where the genuine people are gathering again. Join a club for your interests and you'll be surprised to see how many people feel like you do, tired of the fake web and corporate interactions devoid of soul. Start disconnecting yourself and using your phone/computer less. Reconnect with your fellow man. The internet used to be an escape from the real world, now the real world is an escape from the soulless, politically correct, sanitized and at the same time completely insane modern web.

tl;dr go outside and touch grass or start browsing onion forums and imageboards exclusively

It's Moot fault that the right wing on this site got so radicalized. Never forget that he deleted the news board the first time because he was literally trying to get investment money for his shitty faggot canvas imageboard site that went down in flames because no one gave a shit about it. Then he nuked the board again because he was simping for some half asian slut. Combine that with the 2016 influx of redditors that got banned, but still came here with their shitty pseudo right wing beliefs and you get the current shitstorm of retarded normies that think they're right wing, but they're just goy cattle.

The next big problem is that the entire internet has been infested with trannies in positions of power on every social media and discussion forum. Most of the mods on this site are literal pedophile trannies with anime avatars.

The next issue is the sheer number of jeets and bots. This is self explanatory, but every thread is full of obvious AI posts or shitty jeets with the same poor grammar skills. At least most of the real posters are starting to call out the ESLs more often.

bullshit you dumb niggerlarper, the problem has always been that quasianarchy is only viable as long as there is a backbone culture which unifies and regulates chaos. when the newfags started outnumbering the people telling them to shut the fuck up and lurk moar 5 to 1 and the mods stopped banning attention whores and retards, then 4chan was already dead. it's not serious fucking business, it's just a basic failure in maintaining the funny, novel and interesting while filtering out the unending horde of low iq boring dumbasses. it was in any case a losing battle after the invention of smart phones and third world internet access

The very first picture I saw on 4chan was a man stuffing a statue of Rei in his hairy ass and shitting on it. Which happened during a time which most newfags consider the golden era of 4chan.
My point being, 4chan was at its best when users were willing to laugh at silly pictures of cats and make jokes about aids. Everything went to shit precisely because you retards thought 'backbone culture' even existed, even though we are EXPLICITLY ANONYMOUS to avoid gay ass cliques like that.
>>
>>102433517
Going in a tangent here: not enough people blame the mods maybe bc that would be
admitting that, yes, any anarchist community eventually turns into an authoritarian hellhole,
and it devolves into a fight between bootlickers and contrarians.
Not bc some strange agents join in and ruin everything, but bc that power vacuum along
with that F A G G I T Y undertone, typical of the midwits loners, makes the one at the top make
a 180° turn bc he soon realizes: wait, i have this much power and no one can stop me, in
fact they think im their friend or something, so fuck it, ill do whatever i want.

k. well. even if we convince ourselves that it existed, where is it? in some random crackhead's mental palace? does he even give a fuck about it now? Does anybody here can claim they truly cared at some point?
Truth is you never had a culture, just an overglorified excuse to keep wasting your time in the form of a quirky website and a bunch of (you)'s.

>>102434852
no i mean people used to tell people to fuck off and lurk moar if you acted like a retarded faggot. now retarded faggots are rewarded with all the attention in the world and threads full of retarded faggots all circlejerk and feed off their absolutely fucking retarded opinions that got them banned everywhere else except twitter.

This is why it can't change, and it's not even because of genuine /pol/ fags. 4chan is a propaganda honeypot and is target by various groups.

That screencap looks like written by a newfag.

Other imageboards exist besides 4chan. If 4chan is so terrible, then go join another imageboard. You either won't, or you will end up coming back.

>never-ending influx of newfags
wait do newfags like OP actually think this?
I am under the impression that imageboard culture is on the decline popularity wise. Is there any data to suggest this that there are more newfags over time? I believe each year less people find 4chan than the previous year.

Also rule 8. No one cares about your whiny soapbox and I feel like shit for even wasting time replying to your bitchy underaged rant.

My home board died due to Generals and no fun allowed mods. Even the occasional trolling /pol/tard(who always failed miserably) wasn't nearly as bad as those goddamn jannies. At least they knew how to laugh and have fun instead of banning absolutely anything OC or everything that could be considered fun. Now it's a wasteland of Generals and dead threads with the few anons tip toeing around in a sea of endless shills for marketing or politics that the jannies like. No more random off topic turned on topic and back again discussions. No random but somehow related to board topic threads that are full of interesting stuff. No more fun threads. nothing but dead threads, No OC or fun allowed, and those damn Generals.

While he isn't entirely wrong, he's not really telling the story right either. It isn't just the people here that changed, society changed as well. 10 years ago I remember sites like anandtech had big break downs of different phones and SSDs. Now it's all the same three brands. I remember when most people used a desktop or laptop to connect to the Internet. The vast majority now use some street shitter devices like an android phone or an iPad. We live in an incredibly gay age. Phones are the same. Movies are the same. Video games are the same. The food is the same and it doesn't taste like anything. Hell even the politicians are the same 8 years after Trump went down the escalator. It feels like 2014 is everyones eternal September

I bet you think that because you've been here since 2015, that that makes you an "oldfag" now, don't you?

It doesn't, fucking newfag. If you weren't here in 2005 or earlier, which you clearly weren't, you'll never be an oldfag.

Most accurate post so far. /pol/ origin dates back to /new/ the anons from that board were so butthurt about Moot taking it down that they raised hell on the entire site until he gave them /pol/ as a containment board. The stuff about stormfags and neonazis has always been bullshit. The closest time 4chan was ever 'left leaning' was its obsession with free speech and desire to be left alone. When the left started targeting free speech they very quickly swung around whereas before that it was the Christian Right who tried to crack down on free speech hence 4chan's supposedly 'liberal' era. Truth is 4chan never cared about politics or ideology really except for free speech and until /pol/ because those faggots had the bright idea to start a huge debate over politics and ideology that turned into a clusterfuck of a grand melee.

As for why anons hate liberalism the answer to that should be painfully obvious by now. It was always about free speech for anons you stupid fucks. Enjoy your nazis that your very own stupidity, paranoia, and lust for power literally brought back to life. Hitler is laughing his ass off in his grave.

>>102426249
4chan and the rest of the internet got taken over by WEF and the leftist elites. That includes reddit, all the corporate media, advertisement agencies, government agencies, etc.

Currently the jannies/mods of 4chan are trannies and tranny worshippers and sip through their propaganda. And reddit posters are crosssite posting here to replace it with their tranny worship ideology

Reminder, if your values align with reddit and the media, then you are the NPC. The more you align with mainstream propaganda, the more NPC you are.

4chan lost its board culture over the years. Too many newcomers, probably. If you have a majority of users importing memes, opinions etc. and spamming them from some Discord chat or elsewhere, then this place is no different than anywhere else.

The nexus of all this culture war bullshit all began in Gamergate. Some people say it's Chanology, but that failed since SA goons hijacked the damn thing and actually believed they could make a difference. GG blowing up to catastrophic levels was all moot's fault, Reddit's fault, every single mod from all game forums and social media banning all GG discussion literally funneled everyone to /pol/. It was a huge clusterfuck. I fucking hate /pol/ so much. Fuck everyone that allowed /pol/ to metastasize to this degree.
