Alternative technology spaces and Doing Absolutely Fucking Nothing is an extremely prevalent combo that I can't stop running into. The purists have it all wrong, and that's why altchans are always dead. They have nothing to offer but "LOL. WE Are Not Four Chan"
>"We. Um. Like. QUALITY POSTS! Please post Quality Here Guys!!! Quality Quality Quality! On our /B/ Board. LOL XD RANDUMB! Am I Right, Ayynons? Get it? AYY LMAO! OUR High Quality Four Chan The Chan Ouf Four Four Oh Not Them WE Are Not THem We ARe a Different Number, or Actually FUck That We are now actually a different WORD - Chan See? Suffix Chan Number Chan Ohhhh fuuuuuckkkk MY FOUR Anonymous ANonymity We are ANonymous Fear us We are LE Four Chan But BETTER because we are the 777th Chan to deploy VICHAN And that makes us Unique because 777 GET!!!!!!!!!!"

>"Join our IRC server! Our Four Alternative Chan IRC Server! Yes, We are Very Unique and oOriginal. please Check out Our WEBRING of 750 Other Alternative Four Chans who Are Not The Same Fucking Shit Over and Over Again"

DON'T WORRY GUYS, WE WILL DO FUCKING NOTHING and EVERYTHING will magically COLLAPSE AND THEY WILL COME. The people who have been stuck posting technologically impressive creations on Twitter will come to our 12 user shackcabin IN NO TIME!

Even though they aren't doing too good over there, I can atleast have a minor chance of seeing someone show off something technologically impressive, or at the bare minimum Cool and New on Reddit.

Everyone is stuck in the bubble whether they know it or not. And if they do know, they've accumulated too much debt and might not be able to leave.
This is why Discord users cling so tightly to that platform so much. It's why any YouTube alternative has been absolutely steamrolled and there's no end in sight for the absolute dominance and reach that YT has over the entire Internet.
This applies to anons and 4chan, too. They refuse to leave. They can't, as a matter of fact. For reasons. Some of which are perfectly valid. Therefore, they really are there forever.

Alt-tech spaces refuse to recognize this and instead hold up intense, arbitrary standards. They hide in their little hole and then hope people will magically find them AND have a reason to participate. They believe that people will come solely because they are different.
>"Um. You should Participate becuz We dont use SOCIAL MEDIA. We are Very Special. We instead use <PROTOCOL THAT HAS BEEN BURIED IN THE MODERN DAY>. Here is a list of 27 clients for this Protocol that all have their own unique issues or limitations. Most of them will only work on Linux btw. Oh it doesnt work??LOLololOLO GET THE FUCK OUT! GET 'GATEKEPT' BITCH! BUT PLEAAASE WE NEED PEOPLE TO JOIN OUR SPACE BUT FUCK ANYBODY WHO'S UNFAMILIAR WITH OUR SHIT"
>...
>"WHY THE FUCK DOES OUR FUCKING SPACE STILL HAVE 17 USERS AND ONLY 6 OF US CHAT HERE ON A GIVEN DAY??? WHY AREN'T PEOPLE COMING TO OUR SHITSHACK AT MACH FIVE??? WHAT THE FUCK BRO ITS SO RIGGED BRO"

Any alternative space that wants to be legitimate will not do this.
The network effect will not be defeated by spawning another IRC/XMPP/Mumble server.

op is... doing exactly what he's complaining about, and yet also complaining about people who are trying to fix it? OK. you do you.

What did you read compared to what was present in the OP? What exactly did you get from it and what compelled you to write such a surface-level reply?

>What did you read
the entirety of every post in this thread.
>What exactly did you get from it
that op is whining about a problem he could be spending time solving, on the very site he is looking to escape, while shitting on others for trying to solve the problem, who (instead of posting schizophrenic rants from their phone) are actually investing money and time into alternative communities, something that op is not doing. and the comparison to twitter users is the cherry on top.
>such a surface-level reply
very funny.

why are altchans dead? because instead of op trying to invent those "technologically impressive creations", he is here, complaining.

and op probably uses twitter, which is an even worse cesspit of bots, bait, spam, and idiots.

Your post is low quality and I'm not reading it.

>>109441833
from the sounds of your post, you are well aware of the alternatives. if you've seen what you've seen and are still unconvinced of their quality, what i am suggesting you do is stop posting here and start posting there. assuming of course, you know how to make a quality post, which this isn't. try not using words like "LARP" in your next posts, and try to be friendly with a tech related topic. to solve your problem, you'll have to raise the quality of the posts elsewhere, and create interesting projects of your own to post there. do you understand? you will have to be the change you want to see. posting angry walls of text to /g/ will not magically make any website better, it only makes /g/ worse.

AI is next stage of tech and rendering your era obsolete. TV and internet are the past. AI killed the internet star its our time for the AI chads

Even when someone does achieve something, things rarely feel impressive anymore. It just felt better watching that dude trying to mod Starcraft units in Warcraft 3 in 2006 and never finishing the damn thing than seeing yet another Mario 64 port on exotic underpowered hardware or some shit today. The magic is all gone, you've seen impressive shit happen once, you know how exactly it happened, it's not going to work on you again. Try releasing that kind of thing on your alt-tech site, people will maybe read it once and then never bother to visit the site again. Maybe this is why nobody works on anything.

People working on anything solely to impress other people will never create anything great to begin with.
