No.154202[View All]
It's been ten years since Gamergate happened. I never cared about it, but the fallout surrounding it lead to a portion of the 4chan userbase to move to 8chan. It was a wild time, the freedom we had. Didn't like the moderation on a 4chan board? Make the board on 8chan. Make a board for a specific interest. I remember so many people moving over to the site, including content creators like drawfags. It was such a breath of fresh air to be able to post and not be so bogged down by the moderation of 4chan. I remember in the early days of posting and having Hotwheels replying to something I said, it felt nice having that connection with the admin of the site. It felt like the dawn of a new era.
Of course, the good times didn't last forever. I seem to remember a solid six months where 8chan was busy, but then as 2015 rolled on you could feel it wasn't the same, and people were quietly going back to 4chan, even the ones who proudly said they wouldn't. I stopped visiting the original 8chan sometime in 2016 or 2017, because it felt so dead. Then the original site was taken offline in 2019. Now with 8moe, a spinoff of the original site, it feels like a shell of its former self.
In the decade since Gamergate happened, there has never been a single event that has caused a mass migration of 4chan users to go elsewhere. Despite the fact that people proclaim 4chan has gotten worse and worse over the years, people still stay there, stating there is no place else to go. 8moe still exists. So the question I've been pondering for the last little while is this: why do people stay using 4chan when they have alternatives? Will there ever be another event that will cause 4chan users to leave en masse? Or will everyone who likes the image board lifestyle just stay on 4chan 4ever?

I no longer visit hiroyuki's down syndrome pen, the fact that the place now ask for "verification mails" in order to post must tell you all just the kind of place that it has turned into.
There is no other sane uses for 4kike now, so I only use it for /t/ and never engage in posting at all.
Modern twitterniggers now openly share 4cuck screencaps and some of the lead developers under musk are posters there (which are also coincidentally israel shills) goes to show the degradation that chan kultur has received.
I just post in multiple altchans now.

>>159350It's a pity. There were some regular threads I frequented on the /trash/ board that were comfy, when they weren't getting flooded with dick pics, furry cp, guro, etc., etc. Back in November one of them was getting very obviously flooded with this shit by someone who was using bots. The spam had been going on half a day. I reported it and got a three day ban for "false reporting" less than two minutes after clicking "submit." I have not been back.
I've got to assume at this point that it's one or mods doing the spam. 4chins is already known to have had mods who really, really love them some CP. It's not surprising they think it's hilarious to flood comfy waifu discussions with lolicon, dick pics, bestiality, futa, diaper fetish, piss fetish, scat fetish, animal torture videos, ISIS execution videos, and gay porn, that they just happen to have hard drives full of, then ban people for complaining about it. ("This is le ebin funny. Don't you have a sense of humor? DING DONG BANNU")
I haven't been back in three months, but I still get extremely pissed when I think about it. This is why we can't have nice things.

>>159357I'd love it if a decent alternative to 4chan actually took off, but I pretty much gave up after the first three years of tvch, and went back.
I'm not putting any more effort into a community that has two posters, and both of them are retarded. You have to concede that it's over at that point.

>>159359You don't need a big community of normalniggers to have said community. The 30 autists who still frequent this site are for the most part a lot funner to speak with than those normalniggers.
Last I checked we can still shitpost here, so I don't really see why we have to "give up." You also don't need PPH higher than the moon.

>>159363I'll lay it out for you. In an web community I want two things:
1. Interaction. To be responded to when I post. To have people to respond to.
2. To be surrounded by people who are intelligent or at least fun to talk to, and don't destroy every thread out of spite.
tvch has literally about two regular posters, and they will infest and destroy every thread, by turning it into an extension of the autistic bitch fight they have been having for the past two years.
To make this very very clear, I'm sick of everything inevitably degenerating into a conversation about "nuzach", and "Ramoncoon". It's obnoxious. And that's why I went back.
Yes, 4chan is better. And 4chan is shit, so that goes to show how shit this site is.

>>159416Every conversation I have had here in the last 2 weeks barely involved the nuzach-ramoncoon autism on tvch. Its also pretty obviousy more than 2 autists.
I can't imagine cuckchan having anything better when the worst posters here are the entire population of that site. Last I checked halfchan /v/ 6 years ago every single thread devolved into porn/shills. /pol/ was porn and shills, /gif/ was cuckporn until the impossible wopper stopped it for a bit. Also you need to basically doxxx yourself to use it. So no 4chan is objectively worse than tvch.

>>159419If you go on 4/tv/, and enter a thread, people will be talking about the movie. You may have to scroll through some shitposting, but you'll get there.
If you go on /v/, people will be talking about the video game. If you go on /lit/, people will be talking about the book, etc.
Here, you post a thread, you wait days for a response, and then someone calls you a tranny.
Explain how this is better.

This place sucks now and mods never did anything, at some point it was decent even if some anons don't believe it.

Vchan was a good time and it felt like there were a lot of people still around. I stopped paying attention to drama by that point, so I have no clue why v split into 8moe (spicchan as I like to call it) and zzz, or why they both act so bitter towards eachother. It's pretty fucking annoying to be desu, fam.

I wish I could have visited the real 8chan more in its prime. I found out about the site a couple of months before the mosque shooting and thought it was pretty cool.
>>159350I think the worst change out of any of them is that you can't post images outside of incognito mode. At least with the email thing you can wait out the timer, but not being able to post pictures? On a goddamn IMAGE board?
It's beyond me. Sometimes I'll go there for /g in case there's any tech news but that's really it. 4cuck is lost.

>>163517I liked the video but gamergay 2 never even existed it was literally just a larp. I think that in a sense the world is better because more people have grown anti-semetic, more people have woken up to what is going on. But the creativity, the energy, the aristocracy
anons of late-4chan and fullchan that created it doesn't exist anymore. Internet celebrities effectively subverted the messaging for their own ends, even if they believe it they are still self-serving. Things aren't done for fun or for the truth, they are done for personal gain and to fit in, which are lower ways of thinking. I also think any form of dup as a pro-white or pro-meme symbol is totally dead. Just like how the frog and the feels guy are forever raped by normalfags. Its not that we should necessarily drop them or forget their memory but its like they have been so thoroughly twisted it makes one realize that deeper concepts and actual feelings are devoid of the normalfag mind. I guess the saddest part of it all is that at one point the internet was our little Nexus, a firelink shrine/Majula for us to quietly relax among the ruins. As time has gone on we have found that the normalfags have long since found their way into our Neverland, and now their truly is NO EXIT.
