>>372630>Honestly, the ratio of "I fucking hate you, die." to "This was funny/good." on this site just grew too much for me.As far as I can tell, there are about three posters I know of whose posts I feel really shit things up.
I remember a poster on here saying that they knew someone who used this site who'd been driven away from it due to how bad things had gotten.
>It's just really tired and extremely (spiritually too;) unaesthetic (which is a big deal to a sensitive young man such as myself).Getting worn out is something I definitely understand. It's in my nature to stick around though.
>And I'm guilty of getting my life somewhat in order. Not that I'd go full normalfag, just securing an income so I can rot in comfort.That's reasonable. I'm pretty aimless, but personally I'm trying to focus on more beneficial interests or trying to meditate more often. Imageboards aren't something I consider a real vice though. I probably waste more time lurking Twitter in terms of actual browsing, so I try to cut back when I catch myself wasting time over there.
A lot of people would recommend "touching grass" (God, I hate that phrase), but I live in my head too much and have problems connecting to other people. I'm also very introverted and have negative personality traits that really hold me back.
>I think one thing that'd really help relatively dead sites like this is if it had some kind of notification system. Because how the hell am I gonna know if my old thread on /oven/ gets a reply (averages about one every other month).I tend to keep pages I've just replied to open as long as I have my computer on. If my browser crashes, I just keep the main page open and refresh it every so often while looking at other things.
>It just feels crazy that there's so few places with sane people left. I mean, with a high sane:insane ratio. There's these giant blob sites like YouTube, but there's no community feel there.I definitely get what you mean. It feels like almost the entire Internet is filled with NPCs and bots. I also much prefer the more blunt and honest style of interaction on imageboards to a bunch of people pussyfooting around due to concerns about protecting their social standing.
For as many people as there are elsewhere, the Internet feels strangely empty. I miss the days of traditional forums. It's not a format I care for in comparison to imageboards, but there seemed to be more of a sense of community back then that was nice to see. In those days the average Internet user was also probably a lot more intelligent. Third Worlders and bots contributed a ton to the decline of the Internet after mass normalfag adoption.
>I feel like I'm amongst the very few anons who isn't fucking around in a D*scord or telegramI don't use those either. They just don't appeal to me.
