>why is 4chan dying>oh no or whateverYou do realize X is the new 4chan....right? It has everything in a better layout.
>>84390951don't care i'm not leaving this place until they pull the plug
>>84390951>You do realize X is the new 4chan....right?dude, 4chan is full of normies. there's no difference between instagram, twitter, tiktok o algo anymore
But can you post anonymously? No? Didn't think so, buy an ad, Elon.
>>84390968tripfags and namefags should not be a thing on 4chan but this is a good point
>>84390968>>84390973It's almost like you can... I don't know, make an account. Lol.
>>84390967truth nukeeven fucking tiktok uses 4chan slang
>>84390951I didn't think I'd ever get to this level of chud, but here goes>there are too many normies on X
>>84390964Obviously yeah. I spent 2 decades here so why not, but let's be real it sucks and isn't what it used to be. It's ironic because the new trend for zoomers is our lingo but that's dying now, they are getting tired of it already. I wonder what's next.>>84390967It went downhill in 2019.
>>84390977yeah then some commie furfag troon you're arguing with brings up some post you made from 9 months ago to own you epic style very cool
>>84390977>It has everything>Doesn't have the one thing that makes 4chan remotely goodKill yourself elon
>>84390978>even fucking tiktok uses 4chan slangor even worse, you have people on 4chan or r9k posting tiktok videos, as if i wanted to visit 4chan to check on the terminally retarded ethots that post dancing videos>>84390986>It went downhill in 2019.the pandemic made it so the normies were forced to invade our spaces, and now we're dealing with the consequences of the zoomers posting about 4chan because its le heckin cool
>>84390987You can also.... drumroll please.... Make new accounts. Shocking wow I know.
>>84390991Okay so if he added an anonymous option would that please you? Oh, no, it wouldn't because you would just find something else to bitch and whine about.>DEY COPYIN' DA CHAN NUUUUUU
>>84390993duhude. im like totally heckin niche too. 4chan n shiet. i saw it on a tiktok slideshow.
>>84391008you seriously have to step up your bait game anon
>>84391008You're such a faggot, the exact type of person I imagine uses Twitter.
>>84391019I'm not baiting the fact you said that shows you were voluntarily baited by a not bait post
>>84390951the x layout is not better its the most ass layout ever imaginable. like you would have to put in conscious effort to create something so bad
>>84391025Takes one to know one, nigger.
>>84391027i am not the person you're replying to, but this one was slightly better. you're on the right track>>84391018yeah! exactly, like wow the dangerous place where edgy people go, it must be cool o algo
everything on x is lame low effort one liners. boring
>>84391044Wait till you browse 4chan
>>84391039me when i go on the dark web (4chan)
>>84391044for example, look at the catalog of /x/, my fav board. you can't get this on x.com. look at the effortposting, look at how the person making the thread actually wants comments from other people and is asking actual questions, which they will then read the answer to. you don't get that on x.com, there's no discussion, they don't ask real questions, and comments don't matter.
>>84391054>me when i go on the dark web (4chan)me when i go to the place where all the dangerous, criminal incels go and plan their mischievous plans against the womankind (r9k)
>>84391039Tiktok controls youth culture and it just so happened we had a few funnies laying around. They will forget about us in 2 months their attention span is fried.
>>84391063>They will forget about us in 2 months their attention span is fried.i would agree with you, but the problem is that, ever since the pandemic, we have to deal with a constant influx of tourists that come, post a bunch of normiewired threads, add people, find out people are fucked up and then leave. they have never stopped coming
>>843910574chan is one of the last social media sites that isn't algorithmic. It's why it's dying. Normies just want fed slop tailored to them by niggabot3000 so they can consoooom more and more and more and more and more
>>84390951It's funny seeing Japs and Russian debate about piracy.
I swear to God every fucking day we have a 4chan is dying thread even though pitched on TikTok use sland like foid and chud that we invented hell a few days at school I heard a Stacy in my class call her boyfriend a chud. 4chan wont die it is to influential on the internet
>>84391081the other big social media site with no algorithm, tumblr, is dying too. as easy as it is/was to make fun of, tumblr still had a soul to it that tiktok never will
>>84391091>it is to influential on the internetso was something awful. guess how that's doing. 4chan hasn't had a meme that seriously affected the mainstream in years, all the incel stuff was from the mid-2010s at the latest.
>>84391091No it's definitely dying. There's data to back it up. The people that hear silly words from people that have heard silly words from people that have heard silly words so on and so forth from discord then from tiktok don't actually use 4chan. Nobody down the line does. It's just what's trendy right now. I do agree that we still play a major role in modern culture.
>>84391105Eh see I disagree with that. We heckin redditors could put our hands on the table, yell 'yea team!' and start a new trend tonight if we wanted to. We just don't anymore and it's lame. Most memes start on X now.
>>84391091we were at the heart of all that in the 2010s, but we aren't the direct influence anymore. more like the rest of the internet became 4chanified. X is the new /pol/ most notably.but activity on 4chan itself has sadly plummeted over the last few years. it still has value to many of us, anonymous imageboards are a unique type of platform, but it's clear that they don't interest as many people anymore. they would rather use normal social media or discord, or just stay in group chats with their friends.
>>84391097>Normie hears about scary 4chan>Lurks for 5 minutes>Realizes there's no feed designed to be as addictions possible because it taps into their subconscious desires from an AI algorithm >Leaves
>>84391154yeah, you might technically be allowed to be edgy on X, but it also ghettoizes your account so most people never see your tweets. "freedom of speech, not freedom of reach"
>>84391163>AI child porn site XitterI don't disagree but also being on 4chan and criticizing another website for pedophilic is extremely ironic
>>84391154Maybe you should just try to be a interesting person. I don't care you lost your 2 minutes of X fame. Faggot loser retard.
>>84391163Oh but /r9k/ doesn't have a loli loser every 20 minutes? Hypocrite faggot retard. 4chan isnt le heckin wholesome frickin happy days site either.
>>84391163we have a board literally called the pedophile containment board go on /b/ right now
>>84391196One of the earliest boards on this site is the one for loli hentai.
>>84391196moot literally met with epstein and epstein kickstarted the existence of /pol/ moot also wishes to be the little girl.
4chan is so dead bro
>>84391209It's been dead since 2018
>>84391211you're retarted. Lol
/v/ and /tv/ are still fairly active so we'll always have those I suppose. I haven't used /tv/ in a few years but they were good at producing dumb memes like "crust" for a long time. I think /v/'s most recent memes are pedo memes like uoh for some reason
>>84390951Yeah X replaced 4chan in terms of Internet culture influence but it is still heavily inspired by us and atleast we're anonymous and don't use algorithms
>>84391220I didn't waste my time yes. Anyways kek what a loss lol youre retarted
New fags will never understand the glory of 4chans golden age.
>>84391154I deleted all my X accounts the other day for this very reason. Elon failed.
>>84391196I've never seen this before but why have I never seen this before? Elon just straight-up saying he'd reinstate the account posting a kid getting sodomized with a stick? Where was the outrage over this?
I feel like /int/ has remained one of the more enjoyable boards. still long past its peak, and the generals probably suck, but it's often amusing anyway, and it's relatively active (about as much as /r9k/ I think... which is still significantly more active than truly declined boards like /lit/ and /mu/)
>>84391196Theres CP everywhere, I ran into it on Instagram reels once. With a woman shoving a lolipop up some toddlers vag
>>84391240>4chans golden ageaka the age before any three letter org had any idea
why does musk-chan shill this shit here?
>>84391982>i'm being very anal retentive but i demand you stop being obtuselmao
>>84391232I know you are trolling but you can do better than this, bro. Fuck off back to Twitter.
>>84391240>4chans golden agewhen was this, exactly?
>>84392001Are you stupid?>>84391982You do have to admit the oddly clinical phrasing in the Elon tweet about it is kinda hilarious, though. But yes moot would have immediately permabanned him. WT Snacks would have saved it. Neither were the wealthiest man in the world who is seemingly impervious to any laws, trying to terraform Mars, and impregnating concubines with half-sperg babies across the globe. I assume, anyway. I also assume moot is a woman now. I KNOW Snacks is.
>>84391187the loli discord guy is baffling. i assume it must be a bot or he just ban evades so much they have stopped bothering to try to ban him.
>>84391211If you want to get all conspiracy about it, it is entirely possible Epstein>did manipulate moot into reinstating/opening the two most obvious containment boards on the site>let the site radicalize whether he had to bother socially engineering it or not since mootles is checked the cuck out with his two failed business attempts to go legit which everyone made fun of (rip, i hoped they would succeed)>did partner with breitbart and milo, bannon specifically to push gamergate fully aware that the media and legal pressure at the same time as canvas networks crumbling and moot trying to go legit would>lead to him, the last safety valve, quittingBUT this leaves many holes in the story which really make more sense if you consider it a bit more of an internal coup with several primary players doing an et tu brute thing to orchestrate the chaos. Perhaps someone who has openly seized power and proudly promotes a policy of political accelerationism while bragging he turned the site into a weapon of mass mobilization to get Trump in office, using the gg faction as a support base during the election? Someone who conveniently kept botching the handling of gg by banning threads which moot took the heat for? Someone who mimicked his politics perfectly to get power and then reversed them the second he was out of the door?
>>84390951It sucks. I don't want to follow a gaggle of faggot e-celebs just to get my fix of funny quips for the day.
>>843909514chan is more entertaining with more OC than anything you'll find on twitter, with few exceptions. And i don't think its just that my feed is fucked. Been using it for years and its gradually gotten worse and much more boring.
>>84391057Meh, since the leftoid invasion it's just as lame as the other boards.>le heckin lgbt pride SCP
If you say anything critical of Israel on X you get shadowbanned.
>>84392698>implying it's leftoids bringing the content Don't you have another problematic SCP to rewrite or something?
>>84390951Does it have anonymous account-free posting?
>>84392765I am not your personal sexual fantaisies dispenser, take your medication and fap or something, creep.
>>84390951Can I call jews retarded niggers on x dot com without getting permabanned? Can I get my previously permabanned accounts back from when I posted happy merchants etc. which got them nuked? Elon only let miga fags back on the platform.
>>84392944Saar very benchod no of bait rage
>>84391081I think that guy was being sarcastic because /x/ is a shitshow. The scary part is that actual effort is way easier to find on Twitter now, you get way less vagueposting there and actual artists. Anyone with a brain on 4chan will eventually just give up because of all the shitposting fuckheads who are indistinguishable from bots.
Yeah X is so great it fucking geolocates your account. So much for anonymity. Fuck that.
>>84390951hahahalmaojust lmaoeven the ads on xitter are worse
>>84390951Basically every faggot has just moved over onto X the raping app. I don't even use that site>>84391209I can tell you're a zoomer faggot
>>84390951>better layoutI think it sucks
To be fair it does shape modern internet trends and culture better than we do, we surely have fallen from grace in that aspect. Normies leave when they realize we don't have feeds, but we'll always be around.
>>84391146I still think 4chan is a font of internet culture to some extent, but yeah you're right it's quite indirect. Whatever memes the site comes up with gets propagated (eventually) through tiktok, twitter, discord, or reddit.And the site is dying, but only because janny-backed shill and culture-war shit is depressing actual discussion. Banning phoneposting would be a simple step towards improving site quality massively. 4chan will remain shit so long as discord raiders can pull shifts posting from the back of the short bus.I just want 4chan to be a hobby site again, not filled with culture-war and blackpill botted bullshit.
>>84390951Two garbages. Stop fighting for garbage.
>>84395208How could we protest to remove phone posting?
>>84390951You're totally right, you should go there and stay there. I recommend everyone with an X account stay off 4chan and return to their superior website.
I keep coming to r9k out of habit, but there is literally never any reason to come here. I end up just hiding 10 generals and 15 spam threads. Bots or discord or some shit have taken this place over, not to mention the board is dead.
>>84390951I'm not using your shitty social media. Fuck off
>>84392944>dogshitApparently insults have devolved into one vulgar word that doesn't even have any correlation to anything
>>84390951In a world where it's to easy to hide if your a bot, grifter, shill, etc, it makes people grasp to areas that show more of your identity, they can still be fooled but the illusion you can spot it is there. 4chan can't do that easily, and it effects traffic when they put up IP counters and IDs to threads such as /pol/. It's why so many want to talk /pol/ outside of /pol/ is they can hide better out here.
Hiro, RapeApe and the jannies won't lift a finger until it's obviously apparent that organic traffic has cratered and the site is a screeching abomination of bots and shills paid pennies per post, but by then it will be too late.
>>84395443If I ever win the lottery I will offer to buy this place and immediately delete boards until we're back at 2005's board list. This place is too fractured, so we have a bunch of half dead boards that don't produce anything and are easily swayed by a couple fags coordinating spam from discord. That board combination April Fool's, or the DO4E one both showed that this place can still be fast and fun, and more importantly /different/, but making 20 different versions of /v/ isn't the way to do it.
>>84390951fuck twitter, BITCH. i just caught a 30 day sentence there for calling some ape a nigger and telling him i would slap him in the face if i saw him irl, for 'threatening violence', i literally just SLAPPED THE FUCKING FAGGOT, THAT'S NOT VIOLENCE.
I'm mostly on Xitter, but I still come here for the anonymity.Feels nice not caring about reputation or consequences.
>>84390993>or even worse, you have people on 4chan or r9k posting tiktok videos, as if i wanted to visit 4chan to check on the terminally retarded ethots that post dancing videosyour issue is you have no clue what tiktok is actually like, you judge it for a surface level content. youd like it a lot if oud use it. it narrows down your neiche interests.
>>84390951Twitter is just too tumblr for my taste plus no general anonymity. I don't want to deal with the follower bullshit. And it's as surface normie internet as it gets. No barrier for entry. At least 4chan looks old as hell and isn't some mobile slop so it gatekeeps even if just a tiny bit.
>>84390951Yes. I know it is. But engagement-based social media fucking sucks. And X is legit an awful place.
Nigga I literally got banned for being racist on 4chan. I started using X and have said so much worst stuff, I spend a lot of time there now, it's even more entertaining because you're actually interacting with normgrels and they get so upset sometimes.
>>84396767>post blatant racebait>gets bannedholy fuck i kneel at jannyGODS
>>84396781I can't even be racist because I'm not white.
>>84396795dont care, all baitposters can catch a perma and id be more than happy with that
twitter is awful right now, a DM takes like a week to arriveNo wonder the girls don't answer to me
damn son what happened to the other guy in here. hilarious to think jannies read all this and banned him instead. mods = gods? >>84396767racebaiting on 4chan is not a sacred inviolable right. 4chan has always been incredibly open about the fact that bans are at-will and the chaos is part of the fun. if you want to bait people and bitch about bans, maybe you should be in elons playpen instead. enjoy whatever the fuck he is doing with it.>>84396798bait is fun when it has effort and dedication to the troll behind it. ARE NIGGERS STUPID? DISCUSS. is barely even bait.
>>84397559>bait is fun when it has effort and dedication to the troll behind it.yeah when is the last time you saw some good quality, actually interesting bait>are niggers stupid? discussit is if it gets posted every fucking day multiple times a day. same with every other shitty bait thread, "femoids of r9k" "if you are a neet youre worthless" etc etc. its fucking insufferable and the worst part is that nothing has been, is being, or ever will be done about it because it drives traffic to the site.
>>84397581>yeah when is the last time you saw some good quality, actually interesting baitwell not in the last hour, thats for sure. what the fuck is wrong with the board the past few days? new bots?this does make me want to try writing somewhat interesting bait. maybe you should too, just as a creative exercise if anything. after all this is the>originality board.how much traffic does this even drive? most of the replies look like they barely acknowledge the op. it honestly looks like bot traffic, and actual discussion drives traffic and retention instead. but creative derailing is even better. the state you are describing is what happens when a board has no immune system. if you want something to be done, never rely on official moderation. their entire purpose is to keep the site up by staying out of legal trouble and to leave discussion alone. moot was more into social engineering and clearly that worked our great. you can always seize the means of replication anon, you know, by just taking over threads to make them more interesting and kill bait threads. if anyone actually looked, many of the higher replied bait threads that seemed quite rapid were actually largely derailed repeatedly into different discussions. using the catalog which only shows op or hiding threads would not show the actual replies which had nothing to do with whatever artificial war and whose bait posts were ignored. this has been going on for months now. the best way to shape 4chan is by being an alternative center of gravity, and the most effective way to do that is by being more interesting. crying for moderation to do something will never accomplish anything.what kind of content and threads specifically would you actually like to see on here?
>>84390951It's shit, I already dislike the prevalence of bait, training a supercomputer to bait you is absolutely retarded.
>>84396767>Blacked racebaitYou think you didn't deserve it?>>84396795>I'm not whiteWe know, Jeet.
>>84396767Perfect example of why xitterfags need to go back. I wish we could genocide all xitter posters.
>>84397605>wrong with the board the past few days?probably something to do with a big AI model getting leaked and basically getting turned into being open source>interesting baitit would be fun, the issue is that baitposting is a race to the bottom of the barrel. the lowest quality threads get the most replies because it usually just ends up with multiple different anons shitflinging, and the more you can get the more bumps you can get>how much traffic does this even drive? probably a LOT. look at boards like /pol/ which are driven almost entirely by bait.if you want to see where actual organic 4ch traffic is, go to 4stats.io and click through the boards. normal traffic and discussion is relegated to fucking GENERALS, that's how bad it's gotten. and i think that's the way it's going to continue. that's why they made veegee, and most boards are organically turning to a similar structure.>by being more interestingbut that's not what bait is. bait is getting tossed the same shitty thread a hundred different times and replying to it a hundred different times, and then proceeding to have the same argument a hundred times>what kind of content and threads specifically would you actually like to see on here?difficult to say really. old r9k was awful with tripfags galore, but the entire site was back then. though the insufferability of tripfags definitely peaked on r9k, there's a good reason why moot shut it down. it wasn't much better when it came back up, tfwnogf posting with the rare funny greentext turning into grooming gangs turning into whatever cesspit we have now. ideally r9k would be a /meta/ board or anons just talking about life. that's the issue with topicless boards, there's a range between /b/ and /s4s/ that you will eventually fall under.
bumpan thread because there has to be a better alternative than fucking shitter
>>84390951When I go on X I see more hatred and negativity than here. It's all about likes and clicks too. I like the anonymous nature of this poace much better because there's no expectation of what to post so you can get more likes or outratio someone.
>>84390987It's not worth showing your contempt to them, retard. You are the problem. Do something else.
>>84390951What an awful thing to say.
