omg hi chen

It's a good idea to take a break from the internet from time to time and focus on your hobbies.

A lot of the discussion online pretty clearly comes from people reacting to news and other people's reactions instead of from a place of experience. That's a recipe for pointless arguments to occur.

go shovel gravel, anon

This, but also >>150931
In summary, I feel great.
Please look forward to more terrible shitposts from yours truly.

>>150926
Yeah, I like it a lot more here.
4chan had some nice resources but it also really stressed me out because people there always said bad things and posted really hurtful and ugly things...
But here, it's cute anime pictures everywhere, I love it. Hazuki is so cute

I started using this site just a bit before 4chan went down, but it's very nice here. Not full of people only ironically liking things and constantly instigating.

yeah I wish there was a way to separate out the the good generals and informative communities from the shit. I think I'll use parts of it less when it comes back

It's called "altchans".
TN: "Alt chan" is Gaelic for "good community".
"Four" means "shit".
The more you know.

I kinda feel a lot more stressed and aggravated with your ilk around here

I feel more drained out because kissu got faster and I feel bad if I don't check more than once a day now.

>>150955
That's not the picture I clicked.

>>150955
Don't worry. As the average poster (statisticians agree, don't bother them about it), I promise not to make more than one good post per day.

I kind of feel the opposite. Before 4chan went down I was actively limiting my time browsing imageboards, I had stopped going on kissu and 4/jp/ and was just limiting myself to a few generals. When 4chan suddenly died it just surprised me so much. I miss the jay so much. I miss my friends at the general so much. After 4chan comes back I'll start browsing more boards. I will also visit more alternative imageboards. I was trying to cut down on screen time but now I regret it a lot. I basically don't do anything else on the internet now, if I stop browsing imageboards I might just become a monk or something similar. The rest of the internet just bores me to death.

>>150955
I actually kinda like not being able to keep track of every post. I like the surprise when a thread is bumped and I see multiple posts I didn’t know about yet. It’s like a nice surprise.

>>150957
Thank you. I'll be sure to close kissu now and check again tomorrow.

as i see it only 4chan has the volume of traffic to sustain things like little pseudogenerals on /vst/ or /vrpg/ about some minorly popular game. Even if such a community moved away with out the trickle of fresh blood it would become doomed.

I am generally opposed to altchans as i think most of them were formed for bad reasons. I still remember when 7chan was formed purely because a rules sticky was posted on /b/ and people were upset that people were starting to get banned occasionally on /b/ and they felt betrayed because 'anything goes'. Of course i remembered earlier times when people would get randomly banned and so i felt like the entire thing was a bunch of newbies going off to newb somewhere else. Then 8chan was basically politically motivated.

kissu is ok because /qa/ was shut down and the good /qa/ posters needed a place to go. But it moves very slow. something i posted on /f/ here in 2023 is still there
I can also see the purpose of some places like leftypol since as a person who spent a year trying to commiepost on /pol/ it was not very productive, but then trying to commiepost on leftypol is also not very productive.

But is an altchan going to keep starsector general alive? even bigger things like hgg, there is an entire hgg board on an altchan that maintains the coc mod and that board is basically dead, to the point that even when 4chan died hgg2d moved off to a different altchan than the one that already had a whole board for them.

4chan is important, its the big one, its the front door to imageboard culture, the capital city. It might be a huge mess now but its still important if only to host embassies that can direct people to more focused locations. I think it would be a tragedy for 4chan to actually die, we would become like jews wandering around with out a real homeland to anchor us

I think my problem with this mindset is the fact that people think you need insane traffic because it’s the only way to sustain “generals” which is probably why 4chan is such a cancer because it’s fostered this mindset that generals are the only way to talk about stuff. When really the entirety of the board should be what people care about instead of their general.

I feel like I'm getting out of touch with gaming news without it and I've had to turn to youtube to get my fix of watching people be angry about stuff, but I've tried to keep busy with the increase in traffic on my alts. Also it just feels good to know the assholes who killed my home have been suffering.

>>150959
I like this about 4chan and think it's a good mindset to have, but it's hard to adapt on a site I'm used to reading every post on. Less FOMO than simple habit.

>>150971
I changed my mindset more to “whenever I check in on kissu there’s something new I can see and read/reply to!” and that helps a lot because it makes me feel a lot better about coming regularly. And because there’s not a flood of crap I need to filter through I don’t feel that same ‘Ugh’ feeling I had when going to 4chan on one of the bigger boards (namely /v/)

No, I didn't use the site that much, barely 30 minutes a day.

>>150971
>I feel like I'm getting out of touch with gaming news
Yeah, /v/ is where I'd go to get a general feel of what games are out and what's popular. It's not the perfect way of doing it, but it's the way that worked best for me. Looking at a news site like gematsu every day is just exhausting and doesn't really say much about what people are enjoying. I don't even know where I'd look for news about Western (indie) games. /v/ has the numbers and variety of people of various ages to get a sense of what's happening at any moment. Quality discussion, though, well that happens in some niches.

id be happy if /v/ vanished and it increased traffic to /vst/, /vrpg/, and /vm/. i realized a few weeks before 4chan vanished that /v/ is full of no good posts and i only go there because rarely i see a real thread about video games. I dont mean a super on topic thread, id be happy if /v/ was even just a bunch of thinly veiled porn threads as long as they were actually posting video game characters - there are always a few of those, but its not even mainly that now. I want to believe im browsing /v/ to maybe find a new game ive not heard of but it never happens anymore, i have to browse those other boards for that. I actually believe /v/ is full of marketers now

>>150965
4chan and 8chan (now 8kun) have set the standard of what to expect from an imageboard and has poisoned the public perception of what an IB is, you say imageboard or *chan and people immediately think right-wing pol-tier shithole and point to those two examples, and automatically believe any other imageboard is the same if not worse, and ends up attracting shitters by default from that reputation it has in the gestalt.

While it would be harder to find the various resources that can be richly found on 4chan, say the stickies on /ic/ for example on any other altchan, I don't think it would be a complete tragedy and eventually the community would be able to pick up the slack and set themselves up elsewhere and gain popularity overtime.

Hello, it's tomorrow. Can you post me to the one good post of the day so I can go back to watching anime? Thanks in advance. Yours truly, Anonymous.

Point me to* I make on average zero good posts a day. Humble apologies, Anonymous again.
