The schizos, spammers, religious shitflingers, /pol/troons, etc, combined with a total disregard for the board and lack of moderation completely ruined /his/. Everyone with the least bit of sanity abandoned the place already. It's like the fall of the WRE when Rome became an irrelevant and depopulated city.

>religious shitflingers
This is by far the biggest problem on /his/ right now, because for some reason loving/hating Christianity is a current fad on /pol/. The others are sparse enough to live with, but this is genuinely half the board right now.

I didn't notice so much annoying religious as more political shit flinging between two extremes. Christcucks are usually calm and cultural posters

4chan just doesn't offer anything of much unique value anymore. Edgy kids like >>18448641 now can have more fun on sites like instagram and tiktok after the tech companies decided to switch sides, the people who just wanna fight an eternal screaming match against the opposite side can just go to musk's twitter, and yet somehow, the kind of peope who are into that kind of shit are still the majority on 4chan itself, thus discouraging people who just wanna discuss whatever they wanna discuss in peace from using it as well.

They're not usually the ones to bring the topic up, but will absolutely feed the trolls and take the thread to the bump limit when an athiest makes an intentionally provocative post.

We need a /rel/ board yesterday. The Catholic-Prot infighting would be hilarious.

>>18448860
4chan is still the origin of this kind of rhetoric on other platforms, so its not surprising these kind of people want to stay. Besides, using an increasingly obscure site over something owned by fucking zuckerberg certainly lends itself more to the idea of being privy to secret knowledge.

We don't need a religion board. Ignoring the fact that this board is dead enough as it is without splitting the userbase even further, it just wouldn't feel right to have a board dedicated to religion on a website surrounded by boards dedicated to porn and other degeneracy. Also meta-religious threads are genuinely interesting, it's only the Christards that use this board for their own personal Bible Study that are mildly annoying but they have a right to be here too.

Touche but I'm one of the religious ones. However, a lot of official religious message boards are basically no fun zones with intense moderation. A person like me, who believes in God but likes making dick jokes is anamoly that doesn't really belong on the internet.

>>18449238

I don't really see an issue with this. For many, its a core part of life and deserves discussion in the unique format that imageboards provide.

>this board is dead enough as it is
Personally I'd rather a good quality slow board than a shitty fast board. Fits history better too, since it gives more time for replies to be thought through and meaningful discussions to occur.
But it's not like the history threads here are actually good enough quality for that so I suppose it doesn't matter.
>>
>>18447484
This board is essentially just religious schizofrenic posting and diet /pol/. It stopped being about history years ago.

4chan is stuck in a weird spot where all the hardline anons went to *REDACTED*chan because 4chan "got soft" but its also got too much edge for normies, and political shitflinging now takes place on Twitter. So now the only people left here are the hobbyist boards that are losing ground to reddit, and retards that are making spam-tier trash posts but cant take the heat on *REDACTED*chan (cant blame them, there's shit that will get you a visit from the party van on there).
tl;dr the 2016 election completely broke this site and now 10 years later the effects are becoming almost impossible to ignore. 4chan is a dying site and it needs to make a serious pivot to survive, and frankly I dont think it can between the site's radioactive reputation in normiespace and shoestring budget. Its been fun guys, I'll be around until they shut this place down, but its just not the same anymore.
>>

the "hardline anons" and political shitflingers were always considered cancer by the rest of the userbase and are part of why every board has been dying off.

is this 2018?
the only thing that broke the site was /qa/ closing. people are still talking about *REDACTED*chan , but *REDACTED*chan has also been irrelevant for ages, nobody even thinks about it anymore. meanwhile every 4chan-like meme you see on the mainstream internet nowadays comes from the sharty. you go on /pol/ nowadays and people aren't even posting images, let alone making new memes. the sharty people were the only thing that could have rejuvenated 4chan, but the site kicked them out because they couldn't handle some board raids from time to time. FACT. 4chan has just been supplanted by the sharty and KiwiFarms,

>>18447484
It's mostly the schizos. 4chan was fun because you had autists who actually made effortposts on topics they genuinely cared about and had intellectual rigour and interest in. The culture was a-okay for a while, and provided, in conjunction with the occasional effortposts, actual reasons to go here that could not be found in Reddit or Twitter.
However, most of us have grown up. It's not the late 2010s anymore, we're not college kids interested in XYZ who are willing to write lengthy posts on niche subjects. The schizos make this site borderling unusable because most of them are genuinely retarded and have sub80 iq reactions. At first I thought it was poor trolling but it genuinely is unfiltered mental retardation that simply cannot engage in faithful conversations. So, progressively, most people left as they had other shit to do. I used to post 2-3 times a day but now I just reply to interesting posts very occasionally.

Part of the issue is that most of the people on internet communities back in the day were nerds. You needed a pc and an internet connection, and then you needed to sit down at a desk to actually use the internet. Only autistic nerds fit the all of the criteria, so that's what internet communities were made up of, and things were much better because of it. Nowadays it's every single person on the planet. Every retard, crackhead, mentally ill schizo, barely functioning human being, normalfag, and various other types of people can be on internet communities nowadays.

The sharty isn't even fun to use since you're always expected to be in-character. It's not a place to have sincere discussion of any kind.

>>18449458
I don't think anyone really "grew up". That doesn't stop you from having good discussions, and there's no reason the current 20-somethings can't do it either.
You're 100% right on the schizos though. I don't just mean the standalone outrageous characters who dedicate themselves to being the next Lee Goldson, but the overarching conspiracy-loving mindset the userbase has taken on which basically makes discussion impossible.
>>
>>18449521
These boards are coincidentally the ones hit the worst by schizospam (bar /x/ which was where all the schizos should have been posting).
>>
>>18449592
>here's no reason the current 20-somethings can't do it either.
they do, but they do it on discord servers. why would you do it here? nowadays every thread is infested with some kind of schizo, or your thread dies with 5 replies and buried underneath garbage.
>>
>>18449595
If you want to know why the board has gotten worse it is a complete lack of moderation, it is not the fault of some homeless crackhead phoneposting.
>>
>>18449408
NTA but he's right. Who gives a shit? You think the original millennial weebs who built this site were happy that it was taken over by /pol/niggers? Who then underwent a mass exodus when this place was colonized by literal boomers from Facebook? Now it's all thirdies from twitter jerking off about Indian superpower 2030 and China numbah wan.

Decades later the only reason this site has ever had any reason to exist is to generate revenue for gookmoot.

*2020 (lmao) and they've kind of made the internet worse in general, not just here, in fact, they were originally contained to just the Chans (we've had brown retards from Hispachan seething at the west on here since forever) but now you're starting to see them on places like Twitter and Youtube comment sections and they're seriously making the internet unusable. I welcome the AI apocalypse and the dead internet, it's what we deserve.

IIRC /int/ mods made it a policy to weed out wiafufaggotry because they don't contribute any meaningful discussion and infest multiple boards with the same generic threads, several other boards mods have done the same if I recall
>>
>>18449710
>>18449714
at least its a consistent policy, you only get banned here (short of posting gore or cp) for offending the mod's ethnic background and/or one of their interests

Ok I understand now. But I didn't even start the thread. I was simply replying

I'm 44. I didn't start posting here until the captcha started working correctly around 2018. I always felt like a minority in my own generation having more in common with zoomers than other millennials (my music taste is Gen X though). I just like history and philosophy. Sure my views can get edgy sometimes but if it wasn't for places like this and reading a lot of books in general I wouldn't have returned to school to get a degree in world history. I just turned in my finals a few hours ago.

Another very important element everybody itt missed is the fact 4chan has been really fucking annoying to use for the past few months with the constant captcha changes and the random rangebans linked to the fingerprinting company they hired, it's meant to stop spammers and abuse but it also turned off people who just couldn't bother

That's because the sharty went out of their way to aggressively advertise their shit everywhere and took the rather questionable stereotypically groomer-like approach of deliberately recruiting literal children to post on their forum and/or adhere to their culture by advertising in places like tiktok and roblox of all things.

/qa/ could've saved 4chuddy. I was never a fan when the shartmart split off (because I still remember the schizospam from the spinoff weeb era on /qa/)but the prior intraboard raids were pretty funny; I'll never forget how much /a/ oldfag larpers seethed at the soijak shitposts which were closer to the energy of 2008 4chan than /a/. 4channel is dead anyway.
