at this point I think it's definitely dead,
the internet in general feels dead to be honest, so much ai garbage, and garbage in general. I really only have a few places I go to for enjoyment on the internet anymore, I think I'm only gonna start only checking up on 4chan every few weeks or so now

>>5969861
>anonymous internet culture
i don't care the slightest fuck about that. the only purpose that 4chan has served for humanity is unfiltered international discussion between anons. all the memes and shit are just a funny side effect, and at times even a necessary means to push forward the discussion (like the npc meme, all tranny memes, hyperborea and sigma edits) and shield against shills (like glowie meme, echo parens, whos), but it certainly is nothing worth preserving on its own (only exception being gondolas perhaps). and i don't know the current state of affairs, but if half of 4chan posters are actually llm bots, then 4chan has lost every right to existence anyway, which is a shame, but only because that particular space of discourse is lost, not because its culture is dying with it.

>>5969861
As long as there is no literal reset of the Internet and there are no more countries trying to make laws that gatekeep people from using it without a digital/uploading a physical ID card, we will be fine.

>>5969983
One quarter of anons are also shills, BBCspammer transvestites, and obvious glowies actively posting on 4chan that make irrelevant "woman topic" threads 35+ times a day. You see them more often on the rotten containment boards like /r9k/ the special education classroom, /adv/ the redditard normalfaggot space where everyone literally copy-pastes platitudes from retarded alien website(tm), and of course /lgbt/ where 35 year old manchildren LARP as cute anime girls in middle school, starting first with their OP pics being chibi characters made by female (biological woman) artists.

God stop your whining. As someone who started browsing this site in 2006, "b" was never good.

This site has always been majority shitposts with some absolute gems of discussion sprinkled in. You've always had to sift threw the shit to find the gold.

I think the reason 4chan isn't quite as energized now as it was before was because millenials in the early 2000s were still optimistic about the future and life in general but now that 4chan is majority Gen Z the culture has shifted from hive-minded manic sadism to a bunch of low energy, dopey-mopey, depressed pussies bitches.

Once the spastic memelords known as Gen A start posting here in serious numbers, I think things will change once again.

t. 2010 Newfag; I'd say some boards are much more shit than they used to be (/pol/ for one), as well as either heavily astroturfed by bots, or shills to a much greater extent than the past. Normies flooding a lot of the internet in the early 10s pushed a lot of retards here which messed the place up a bit too in terms of shitting on anime and manga more than it ought to have (considering this is a mongolian baskeat weaving site after all).
/b/ was always shit, /wsg/ still feels like old chinz so i just browse here mostly (and /pol/ even though I fucking hate that board). /v/ is full of gacha slop or fotm streamer shit. /ck/ is still good for a laugh, and /vt/ make me want to kill myself (but i still browse it).
Is 4chan kill? Dunno, the blackout a few months back made me (and a lot of other anons) realise how shit this place is, but then again we're all still here posting so who knows. Old chins is pretty much dead, and died a long fucking time ago, but as a place to just shitpost and discuss world afairs in a open way there's probably no better place desu.

I can't really say because I haven't been here as of much late but hasn't /wsg/ become more and more slow over the years?

>>5970138
I mean, most of the boards seem slower than they were 10 years ago either way. But yeah, /wsg/ isn't as fast as it used to be either, but then again some of the older parasocial threads that brought a fair amount of traffic here have vanished.
Being a parasocial faggot isn't as stigamitised as it once was, so guessing they moved on to other boards.

i think the website is dwindling in both influence and traffic for a lot of reasons. this place is poorly managed as we saw earlier this year, which im sure broke many peoples routines of coming here, and from the greater marketshare mobile use has in the online space. desktop computers are not as ubiquitous as they once were, a lot of traffic comes from mobile and 4chan not having a mobile option makes it obtuse to use for a generation that predominantly accesses the internet through mobile. it is a 20 year old website though, things cannot remain static forever.

modern"4chan" rhetoric has infiltrated every single normie social media platform.
4chan has been normalized.
but its been wrongly stereotyped.
i remember when anons hated the trolls just as much as they hated bronies.
but now, now.
the jokes, the trolls the rhetoric have reached a new professional level the likes only some investment bank can afford and refine.
4chan isn't dead.
its just some assholes parading around in 4chan masks.
4chan is an art.

When 4chan had its blackout I felt kind of lost. Sure, i occasionally go to reddit to find some dumb memes at various specialty subreddits, but its not the same as the unfiltered dumb bullshit you find here. And the other alternatives are even grimmer. Facebook, twitter, instagram, complete slop with no soul. I've been around on an off since 2008, and this is the one piece of the internet left that still feels like home. Even if the walls are rotting and collapsing around me, I don't want to leave.

no, it was 4 MB. Hiroyuki Nishimura took over 2015 and lowered /b/'s filesize limit to 2 MB to "save bandwidth" even though it wasn't even the most browsed board by then.

I try to tell people that their war's over, to calm down, that we are not overrun by newfags because who the fuck comes to 4chan in 2025 lol, do you realize how boring and old we are?

I have had good results just by making unrelated jokes in a thread to lighten the mood and anons respond to that spark and it's a long lasting shift for the thread.

call me paranoid but I think the mean spirited-aggression here and elsewhere is forced upon us by alleged bots, setting the tone for the developing minds of younger generations that use social media to emulate themselves with others (a type of brainrot function like television was ), that identity matters more than sense/truth (you see it when theyre backed against the debating wall, to retort with "well at least im not a fag/incel/nazi/tranny")

And now its everywhere that we're in the minority, ...but it was originally here that it was needed most to stop this website from being proxy for classified information that I believe it became - beyond the funny memes of the mid 00s - further fostering dissidence. In my view it was here and liveleak that were the premier place for unfiltered news to a wide audience which lead to too much loss of faith in the goverment.

So now theyve disabled webarchiving, openapis, thrown a ton of bots in everywhere with legit looking accounts to seed an excuse of plausible deniability wherever / whenever a controversy erupts.

To inhibit progress towards holding powerful entities accountable for what amount to open secrets eg epstein / JFk

Its not like sensitive news regarding these things are posted anywhere except the internet, as the IC need to have handles on news outlets, which have a precedence...

If so I guess it was moot that lowered it but I'm pretty sure it was hiroshimoot. Wish there was somewhere trustworthy to read historic changes on 4chan.

Looking at a /b/ screenshot from 2007 and it says "Maximum file size allowed is 3072 KB." so it definitely was lowered at some point to 2 MB. Question is if it was increased from 3 MB to 4 MB and then lowered to 2 MB or if it went from 3 to 2.

Or the result of being raised on a battlefield. These people display a light version of the psychopathy found in child soldiers. It's my pet theory.
We trash each other on the internet for any little opinion. Imagine a young mind trying to construct himself in that environment, he can't exist here without protection so he enters military camps brandishing one opinion or the other and by doing so he gains enemies. He trains to fight as to not become an outsider. Conflict and arguments become his template for basic interactions. He can't imagine discussing peacefully with someone of uncertain allegiance because that's suicide in a warzone, better assume that it's an enemy and blast him before he does. Failure to perform the correct handshake is a clear sign that the interlocutor is not an ally.
For him dialogue in the open, outside of the safespace, serves the singular purpose of defending or attacking positions. It must be what the internet looks like to someone new who doesn't know any better and internet topics are the topics of real life, the internet can no longer be escaped, being a part of the greater society is being terminally online.
I think about that anytime someone asks: "what would a generation raised with internet look like".

Old? Sure. Boring? I have zoomer and alpha friends in real life and while we never talk about where we go online, they are clearly also somewhere in the vicinity of 4chan.
Just: Who in his right mind would bring that up?

people have said the site and site culture has been dead for over 10 years. the culture has definitely changed a lot, but recently i've begun to enjoy using it again. i simply don't engage with faggots, make posts directed at the people i want to talk to, and make oc when i can. not saying it's as great as it used to be, and some boards have become extremely low quality. however, 'be the change you want to see' applies. a thread can be filled with shitheads, yet you can make a post directed towards likeminded anons and they will often respond.

>>5970119

This is the most productive way to use this site. And you don't even have to limit yourself to the topics of the boards unless you go completely off-topic. I was recommended a book called Flowers for Algernon by an ex-military dude on /a/ in a thread about Hokuto no Ken. It was only after having read the book that it dawned on me that he sneakily called me a retard by recommending it to me. I liked the book so everything turned out fine in the end. I hope that dude is doing well wherever he is.

>but as a place to just shitpost and discuss world afairs in a open way there's probably no better place desu.
really depends on the board and the time of day but every board basically feels the same now.
You rarely get actual anons trying to talk about anything at all beyond mere monkey gestations and most replies are twatter tier vomit and insults or constant attempts to troll by being contrarians.
You just know those people hate 4chan because plebbit told them it's all /pol/ and /b/ and are on every board only to shit up the place.

Like imagine; you have a place where you can basically talk about anything and what do you do all day, just spread cancer and turn the place into a twitter extension.

Shit used to be fun, now it's just..

Yeah. Good faith discussion is usually ruined by some tard or precluded altogether by the vibe of the thread. And I don't even mean discussions of a political nature, just anything.

nah, plenty of the quieter boards still have plenty of genuine interactions (this one sometimes), but i'd still say the 'bigger' boards are just cancer so avoid them for anything sane (unless you like twitter screencap threads).
The sheer variety of boards helps these days too, just find your corner and make it so.

You know that, I know that, but there's nothing you can do when the people you're trying to having a conversation with are chased away. It's disheartening.

yeah, but it is what it is with this place, gotta take the pros with the cons.
try and treat this place more like a pub than a forum, you might speak to someone for 5 mins, or 4 hours, and never see them again. sometimes the convo is disrupted, sometimes it goes on and on, for weeks even. Don't be sad if the conversation can't be maintained, just be greatful it happened in the first place desu

how can one fail to loop the audio this much? there's attempt to make the visuals loop seamless so it's not even a question of sacrificing audio to loop visuals properly. the flash generation is truly far superior to the video generation.

IIRC that webm didn't originally have sound. It was from /v/ and had a catbox link to the audio, so it did loop properly, but then someone converted it to an audio webm without making sure it looped properly like a lazy fuck. So, I have fixed the audio loop.

You know, I’m seeing a whole lot of complaining that 4chan is worse than it used to be, but I’m not seeing any effort to change that. Be the change that you want to see in the world and all that.

>>5978303
its not as easy as it was, you face a fuckton of bs nowadays expressing yourself.

>>5978306
trolling others was fun, for a cause.

shitting up the 4chan boards pretending to be retarded was frowned upon generallly , why you wouldve heard "dont feed the trolls" so often back then...

It was a cool place as a highschooler to visit, even into early adulthood as it was the place you saw news about confidential leaks.

Here was where I learnt israel was hiring Indians to brigade online for them, of software used by the NRO to emulate a thousand accounts to flood social media sites etc

It really was one a kind site

honestly i never wouldve even attempted being anxty teen 20 years ago, never saw myself as so 'out there' compared to others that made these boards feel so lively, but their banter I enjoyed

>>5978950
It's completely unrelated to being "out there" or not.
I stumbled onto 4chan via /w/allpaper, then /a/nime, then /v/idya. The mid-to-late 2000s were truly a golden age of anime.
And the whole PS3/Wii kerfuffle was fucking amazing.
20 years ago was extremely fun. As is today. Don't be afraid and ride the wave (while also properly taking care of your RL, obviously, that ought better stay unrelated).

>>5970114
That's the main thing it has going for it, but the nature of the site isn't expressed in the purest form anymore.

4chan is now like that little suburban area that get's a highway paved through it, and then what once was a more or less consistant secluded villiage, is now industrialized and somewhat assimilated.

>>5970119
You are right to some extent, but I KNOW that it was once so much better, I'm not even really an oldfag and I watched this place change quite a bit, there used to be more culture, there were more interesting posts, there were more gems, people made longer and more thought out posts, boards like /pol/ had actual discussion, lots of slop too, but real stuff in the mix. I've said it before, but these days, on this website, memes preceed thought, thought isn't generative, it's not the source of memes, it's not creative anymore. It's like most of this site is now centered around eggregores. You no longer are dealing with people, but that, eggregores. One odd thing about this place these days, is it's hard to even think, you have peace, when you use it. At least for me, when 4chan got hacked and went down, it's death felt like being released from a vice, there was peace, and it almost felt like the wild west again when I was looking for alts, and others too. Seeing the way people scattered, the places people went, and cultures and different characters, which almost became more human outside of here, was interesting. The places I found and what came of it, reminded me of what this place used to be. I don't think this place is inherently bad by any stretch, I don't think it's impossible for good to be here, but as I said before, it's now much more like a highway. The speed of the place doesn't help things. The sheer speed of posts and the amount of them almost prohibits real discussion, things go by so fast, it starts to make discussion an almost primal thing, something which appproximates something like might makes right.

>>5981437
Frogposting was the beginning of the end. Cancer like that being widely celebrated invited greater, inoperable cancer.

Its so bullshit my antisocial behavior thread with actual new content got deleted for literally no reason. The rest of the board is either constantly reposted /pol/, animal and dance generals or extremely niche shit only of interest to a few autists. And no /gif/ isn't an alternative due to the 4mb limit and constant degenerate spam sliding the tiny front page

Believe more than just /v/ copt it. zoey 5 guys was brought up everywhere online and signaled to everyone that you could fight back from being called a hack by simply saying "dont attack me for it waaah".

Feelings were presented to ultimately be more important than facts (especially if those facts were coming from sweaty gamers), which had a large impact on online discourse everywhere I think.

Then rage-baiting spam from glowie-ran discords ensued that fucked up the vibe here considerably...I mean I think before that we had the place self governed with appropriate abuse to retarded posters whomst would accept the advice to lurk moar when told.

Even on reddit I remember myself and others being able to freely tell people how retarded their opinion was and receiving community support once upon a time, and youtube (when it had a dislike button). It doesnt work that way nowdays as enshittification is inevitable with everything, usually need to look underground for the good stuff, much like with music.

It's kind of wild to think that anons born around the same time as 4chan are now no longer underageb& and can post here. Most things on the internet simply don't last that long. As we move into an era of global internet surveillance, even the quasi-anonymity of 4chan is going to get stomped out eventually. 4chan has no names, no internet points for posting, no internal algorithm guiding anons to things marketers want them to look at. It's one of the last hold-outs of the anarchic old net, and so long as it remains so, and so long as I can, I'll keep coming back here. There's still no place like it.

Happy birthday.
