Apart from 4chan, YouTube, and Wikipedia, what else is even there to do on the internet?
>>106550056porn is pretty goodanna’s archiveuhh, that’s about it for me
>>106550056I look at chuds on internet talking about race wars, like xcancel.com/wigger, xcancel.com/amalgamyte_vt, xcancel.com/sarahcstock, xcancel.com/libsoftiktok and laugh at them. I also shitpost and ragebait on 4chan from time to time to make timmies seethe, then I watch some girls play video games like 6elle, discord and cacophony, and watch some tech celebs like Low Spec Linux Gamer who's some schizo I think black guy living in the middle of a desert or something in like a tent and using solar panels to play games on linux and smoke weed all day. I also visit porn games on f95.zone and look at some kino sissification games where I can play as a bull and fuck blue eyed cute timmies and put them in chastity cages, I'm enjoying Ultimate Sissy Simulator rn I got from f95zone.to for free. I also listen to music on YouTube using adblock like uBlock Origin, and use fmhy.net to find more piracy sites to get shit from like anime sites. Beyond that there's also the goon sites like rule34.xxx, danbooru, exhentai, nhentai, coomer.su
Lichess and that's pretty much it. it was definitely more fun 20 years ago for the social part
>>106550056That's pretty much it. Aside from getting drunk and talking to people on Omegle which is apparently not possible anymore
reddittumblrgelboorutwitch? although almost everyone mirrors their vods to youtube in 2025.orange reddititch.io
>>106550132>not possible anymoresays who? (((them)))? https://www.omegle.fun/
>>106550056orange reddithereyoutubespending a lot of time chatting with LLMS, great for advancing your knowledge in things youre already familiar withso you have the wisdom to correct ityet still getting the value out of it connecting and interlinking things you didnt know about thats about it, i just spend the day reading and writing mostly. pretty cool hobby that costs nothing.
>>106550056So it isn't just meThe lists in this thread reveal that there really isn't that much to do onlineNetwork effects are too strong imho. Nothing stopping you from making your own thing, but who's going to use it?
>>106550056>here and courses on ytIsn't it sad? The consolidation of sites and homogenization of user types basically killed the internet.
DiscordGoogle Maps
>>106550270the problem is, if you were to start your own thing. you'd feel like it was a failure if it only had like 10 daily active users, right?but the issue is the attitude here, those 10 daily active users are probably cool people you want to talk to, why doesnt it matter if 10,000 additional people arent there too?
>>106550281I agree with you but I think the (you) was for the guy above me.If there was a /g/ page with 100-200 active contributors, no rules, but strict bot filtering, id be in. That's basically what this place is with my 50 filtered pages.
>>106550281>your own thing. You know how "your own thing" looks like? Here, this is one of those "your own things": bluedwarf.topAwesome and totally entertaining. /s
>>106550056Don't tell anyone, but there are actually a ton of interesting sites out there. It's just that nobody knows about them because everyone just uses the same 5 sites at most.
>>106552036share with usin a way that bots wont get them
>>106550056Good stuff should be hard to find by design, communities should remain smaller and niche
>>106552091I don't have a proper list at the moment, it's something I'm working on. But I take inspiration from a fellow anon who made this:https://web.archive.org/web/20241009125414/https://sites.lainx.org/

>>106550056> /g/ constantly complains about centralization of the internet.> when asked admits they're the problem
>>106550056I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as the Internet, is in fact, the World Wide Web, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, the Web. The Internet is not the Web unto itself, but rather a vast network infrastructure made useful by higher-level protocols, services, and applications such as HTTP, DNS, and TCP/IP, which together comprise the environment in which the Web can exist.Many computer users access a modified portion of the Internet every day without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the most widely visible part of the Internet — the Web — has come to be mistaken for the whole thing, and many of its users are not aware that the Internet also carries email, file transfers, streaming, chat, VPN tunnels, VoIP, and countless other protocols besides web pages.There really is an Internet, and these people are using it, but it is far more than the websites they browse. The Web is simply one application layer service: the system of interconnected documents accessible via HTTP. It is an essential part of modern online life, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of the underlying Internet infrastructure. The Web is normally used in combination with the Internet: the whole experience is basically the Internet with the Web added, or Internet/Web. All the so-called “Internet” people think of when they mean websites are really just the Web riding atop the Internet!
>>106550056You could play jigsaw puzzles.
>>106550095Nobody asked lmao
>>106550056another issue is nerds feel bad about marketing and "shilling" the things they create, and we even attack them when they do.but if you actually care about making your community you shouldnt feel bad about shilling it, just do it in creative ways. dont overdo it. dont be insincere.
>>106550194I thought Omeagle died

>>106550056cp
>>106554704But a..anon, isn't that illegal?
>>106550095Did read, and you're kinda based, but also brainrot pilled.
>>106550233>Network effects are too strong imho. Nothing stopping you from making your own thing, but who's going to use it?I remember using Lichess when it only had a few hundred players online, now it's up to 72k. If you make something good, people will use it. If you're talking about social media though, you're right.
>>106554745don't care still watching it
>>106552460Thanks, I've been looking for this exact thing.
Less distractions the better. Refraining from "news" websites is healthy for you, no need for 24/7 negativity bombardment. Same goes for 4chins, try and pick your threads.
surprised no one mentioned discord and anime/manga
>>106554948
>>106554704You can find it in /b/
>>106554745It's a free linux command
>>106554772Right but now no-one can make a chess site that will get users.Everyone uses Lichess or Chess.com. Everyone knows their name. Almost no-one will ever randomly invite their friends to a game of chess using your site, because Lichess and Chess.com have 100% of the features required of internet chess and are highly reliable. And those that do will just revert back to Lichess or Chess.com!And then you must implement all of the features, sounds, graphics and reliability as a side-project anyway. And there are only so many board games, you can implement your own board game, but again, everyone is playing chess or go.I don't think there is anything that can be done about it, being more a feature of the universe and human nature, than any system humans can create or modify.
>>106550273What do you do on Google Maps, anon?
>>106555394You're being way too pessimistic. All you have to do is find your niche. Offer people a different experience, promise to fix what is wrong with your competitors. It could be something as simple as the user interface, or more strict anti-cheating measures. Read their forums and find out what users are complaining about. A lot of people are starving for new things to do online these days.

>>106550281>the problem is, if you were to start your own thing. you'd feel like it was a failure if it only had like 10 daily active users, right?I have a writing project that has maybe 20 active users total. If everyone had their own project website with 20-30 users each, we could rebuild the old internet.
>>106550951I like it
>>106550315>If there was a /g/ page with 100-200 active contributors, no rules, but strict bot filtering, id be in.This was effectively old /b/ but the old bot filtering was it being small enough for one janny to root it outI used to be able to post on /g/ through terminal using lynx, that's how simple it used to be.

>>106558615hackaday used to be really good up until it became articles about "How Trans Hackers are fighting MAGA by adding LED strips to their taints" techdirt was another one of my favorite hangouts in the 00s alongside Ars before they went off the rails and just became lowkey political blogs. Techdirt used to have some very good resources on the abuse of legal law by large companies and is now just whining about turnip all day. In hindsight, they were oddly lenient on Google and there were commentators pointing out how Mike Masnick was on Google's payroll at the time.

>>106550056Finding a community that will make your presence there meaningful.4chan was fun, but in the end, it's getting flooded with increasingly outlandish groups that have nothing in common with the og western middle class posters posting for lulz.
>>106561613How does a community help? It's just weird interdependency and people getting trolled to death. 4chan has healthy distance to allow personal growth.
