This forum is almost totally dead. Almost totally defeated. The site that used to go so fast that you couldn't even keep track of more than one thread is now a slow motion execution of the noble anon by these "lolcow" death cults. This is a flaw in reality. It makes me sick.What can be done about this?
>>84305909i personally enjoy the fact that threads don't die two seconds after they are made on this board. makes it actually viable to create threads here and doesn't benefit the lowest common denominator attention grabbing posts.
>>84305940Sure, that's the silver lining, but the reason it's happening is because the internet is being taken away.
>>84305950then go make your own 4chan of something
>>84305909None of those threads even have anything to do with real actual lolcows like DarkSydePhil or WingsOfRedemption. It's always about some irrelevant retarded tripfags or discordfags that literally nobody besides a select few terminally online people know anything about.Also women and trannies becoming the majority, or at least a plurality of the board's poopulation rapidly degraded the quality of it. Even in 2015 when I started coming here it was far better than it is now, way less faggy threads, way less porn threads. I can't imagine how much it's degraded in the eyes of anons who've been here since the inception of the board.
>>84305969What would be the point of that? Even a guy like fleshsimulator can just get popular on youtube, and the lolcow brigade will mass report it all and go on a doxxing campaign until he caves. Just for receiving too many subs, they ruined his podcast with fraudulent DMCA requests, they doxed his family, posed as his little brother and generated hours and hours of "lolcow" content about him to falsely defame him as a racist, NAZI, etc.So that guy is actually really smart, and his content is actually really polished, and he even even seems to have some institutional leverage through his own affiliations, yet he still can't exist on social media without caving to bullies. How do we stand a chance?
>>84305969pic very much related. you can set up Wakaba on your own web server, but then, you can also just go to 7chan or one of the other sites.slower boards/threads are better. anons are willing to write longer posts, other anons are willing to read them. i don't know how people keep track of places like /v/, shit's more like IRC than a message board.
I find 5k post per day to be a perfect mix of speed and capability to catch upWe just need most of those 5k posts to not be worthless spam. We have improved a bit, some spammers fags have definitely been banned you can tell
>>84306325we need less "social media screenshot reaction bait" threads and it will be 10x better
we actually need FEWER gatekeeping glowfaggots de-lubricating all social interaction on fucking anonymous forums
>>84305909Text and imageboards like 4chan are sort of anachronistic. It's not 2003 anymore. Everyone has a smartphone that loads videos instantly.People don't want to read a long thread of texts.They don't want to see mediocre content either. They prefer seeing interesting/funny images or short videos. 4chan is text based. Most content in 4chan is also mediocre; because most content everywhere is mediocre. Other sites have algorithms that make you see only the best content. Because other people saw it or liked it and whatnot. Whatever your taste is; the algorithm can predict it; so it doesn't matter what you consider to be the "best" content.The mystery is why this site still alive
>>84305909>The site that used to go so fast that you couldn't even keep track of more than one thread is now a slow motion execution of the noble anon by these "lolcow" death cults.Blame jannies who made the site unbearable to use on computers. The most beloved way of using 4chan is via mobile
>>84305909I remember a couple of years ago r9k was actually interesting but around May of 2023 it was like it instantly went to shit. I don't know if it was an influx of DBDR zillennial failed-normies and egirls or psyop bots and glowniggers paid to troll these forums - or a combination of both, but I just know this entire site nose dived. I stopped coming to this board and many other boards on 4chan because what you figure out pretty quickly is that it is literally like the same 50-100 people depending on the board who are going to every thread EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. and posting the same kinds of comments over and over.
>>84306394>have algorithms that make you see only the best content
>>84306334a blanket ban on Twitter/Reddit screenshots and TikTok reposts would be great. some useful/funny stuff will get caught in the crossfire, but there's nothing you can't post in an alternative format.artist draws a cool picture? post the damn picture, not a screenshot of their post ABOUT the picture.
>>84306470/r9k/ went to shit with this image and everyone else joining in.i'd also say wojaks have ran their course. if i posted le derp, me gusta etc. faces, you'd call me Reddit (even for drawings that originated on 4chan). why people decided the frog and the bald guy are allowed forever is beyond me. normies can and do post them, everywhere.i just want more OC. i like those creativity threads a robot keeps making, good stuff.
>>84306642No problem with that kind of content as long as- It's linked properly (not a fucking screenshot)- It's not the OPIf all you're doing is posting a ragebait image to say "discuss" that's fucking worthless. At best it's advertising, at worst it's spamming because some of those screenshots are old enough to go to school already
>>84306670All the popular meme art and characters are made in Asia now, what the fuck happened to our creative spirit
Yes, surely the answer is being *more* restrictive about what content is acceptable.fucking retarded assholes
>>84306755yes, i would like low quality content to be banned or removed.a system of 'moderation', if you will. internet posting isn't a god-given right, that's not 'free speech' you loon.
>>84305909IMO it's 90% the fault of captchaunless you post regularly the captcha is just insanely irritating to deal with.
>>84306808Im such a loser that I didnt notice any change
>>84305909Touch yourself, also blow an entire balloon with farts only and play kazzoo with it
>>84305994We're down to high school dropouts, the psych ward's permanent residents, crack babies, and methville, appalachia's most esteemed trailer park residents. And I'm pretty sure the schizo screeching at cars under the freeway overpass is in this internet soup kitchen as well.
>>84306755absolutely, incompetent moderation is the reason all the people left. Who wants to see the same low quality blogspamming and bait threads every day? the genuine users had enough.I am glad the mods finally took the hint.
>>84306630As a slop peddler I assure you The Algorithm is ice fucking cold and does not care about your life, it only widely distributes things that people watch and/or interact with heavily. Genuinely even disregarding 'personal' accounts that aren't trying for more than 8 views everything you see scrolling on a slop app is probably in the top 10% or less of retention and interaction performance among all content uploaded to the app.
I get called a 4chan lolcow and people claim everyone knows me and even niche discord servers vaguely related to 4chan discuss me That said I don't even get harassed or targeted by people, I got harassed when I flirted with a 23 year old from England because he made a hate chat about me and he had nothing to do with 4chan. The only person who consistently harassed me is a male grooming victim I met in a 4chan server because he hates me for having sex with a 19 year old I allegedly groomedTldr - 4chan is not a lolcow cult even for alleged lolcows
>>84306875before it was 'the algorithm' it was 'SEO' and doing web stuff both for fun and for work, that shit made me want to die.still, i always had that separation between labourers and artists, so it sucks to see content creators kowtowing to the algorithm. e.g. YouTube, it's free video hosting, go make cool videos.>my latest video didn't do well because of the algorithm :(bitch, a million people saw it. aren't you making videos because you WANT to...? 'for exposure' was literally the main feature of the internet. that's now a zoomer meme term they use to mean 'instead of being paid'.
>>84306855Have you tried to tell him the government implemented a microphone in his cock and the only way to get it out is if he suck it himself?
>>84306858every single board on 4chan that isn't explicitly a porn board is at least 80% bait threads. I think that 4chan gain a reputation of being the place for LE EPIC TROLLING!!! XD so you just have a massive population of people who aren't funny or interesting constantly acting retarded or schizophrenic to "Troll" people. What then happened is that all of the cool people left (except for me) and you just have trolltroons interacting with other trolltroons and driving away any interesting person who might still be hanging around.
>>84306808the shapes captcha is better than they shitty word captcha
