It's interesting to see the mods relax a bit. Had an interesting thread on furry fandom history - with people who actually knew their stuff - on /v/ of all places. mlp was banned on co but not elsewhere, i'd say take them as they come.

It sucks how everyone is just recreating their generals on the remaining boards

One step closer to seeing the site become completely unusable.

At least until activity forces them to condense their threads harder and it all looks like b. Some of the slower generals are starting to fall off a along with the deluge of new threads with no replies.

Find it interesting how people itt think frontpage culture is a thing.

4chan has been a thread-level platform for almost 10 years now. Moderation doesn't go that deep yeah, but there's practically no board out there that isn't a collection of microcommunities that hang around one or maybe two threads.

I like this aprils fools, the shakeup makes all these communities mix up and I enjoy seeing them discover places of 4chan they didn't know existed. Many a crossposter will be born this day.

I want it because it wiped out all the generals and insular circlejerks and filled the remaining boards with fresh threads and different discussions than what I normally see. There are still attempts to keep generals going from old boards, but outside /vg/ the breadth of topics to be covered tends towards flooding them out with more catchy, targeted OPs. If it were always like how it is now, I'd still use the site daily instead of checking for news a couple times a week.

 No.141455

>>141450
You aren't talking about small boards. /vg/ is not a small board by any metric whatsoever and neither is /v/. I'm sure they'd be fine to merge for one super fast board, but I am not a /v/ user because I hate that board so I wouldn't know.

Do you really think something like deleting /vr/ would somehow make /v/ noticeably better?
Or deleting /u/ will somehow make /a/ noticeably better?

Compare the size of /a/ and /u/, and /v/ and /vr/. You could delete both boards without it even being noticeable for the big boards. Nobody would notice it and all we'd have as options is getting completely drowned out and dying immediately or making a general to talk about the topics related to it which just makes everything worse for everyone.

Or you could stop thinking like a tribal and reintegrate into the larger site culture.

But the larger site culture sucks.

 No.141458

>>141456
If I wanted to do that I would do that. The larger site does not respect or have an interest in my niche hobbies. Does it bother you that there are people with other interests than what's mainstream?

Only five boards remain, with dozens of bunkers in each one of them.
Copied from another thread:
>/b/
/pol/, /a/, /m/, /g/, /sp/ (some generals), /hr/, /tv/, part of /vt/, /jp/ and /s/.
>/r9k/
/cm/, /lit/, lgbt/, /vr/ and /mu/.
>/trash/
it's pretty much the same but with more non-furry /d/-tier porn. also /k/ and bits of /vg/ and /co/ are there.
>/bant/
/int/ (most generals), /biz/, /vg/ (mostly gacha and multiplayer), /a/ (dragonspics), /mlp/.
>/s4s/
/pw/ (a couple of generals), /sp/ (more generals than /b/), /vt/ (several generals), /vg/ (several generals) and /sci/.
>/vip/
/a/, /vg/ (some gacha and MMO), /wsg/ and /int/ (/brit/).
>/f/
Looks exactly the same but with more /v/ermin.

/v/ and /mlp/ ceased to exist as established groups and now are present in every board as dozens of shitposts tangentially related to their original topics. Other boards exists merely as concepts (i.e. /c/ exists as waifu threads) or have disappeared.

If you want to be sheltered from the big meanies with different opinions than you, then you can go to reddit or discord or another big social media site. Stop trying to turn community-focused places into clunky clones of those places.

How fucking dumb can one person be. This is why I don't want to use big boards, it will just be hundreds of him saying my hobby sucks and zero talking about my hobby and if I don't like it I'm a pussy. What?
How do people end up with these contradictory beliefs?

Maybe over a decade ago when site culture was closer to being on the same page, but if the "larger site culture" is just low effort frogposting and bait then I would happily be a tribalistic neanderthal and sit in my corner if it means I could talk to people, in peace, who at least try to hold a discussion or genuinely appreciate the same things I do.
One would think that sharing a place with people who hold genuine contempt for you is not a good time for anyone involved.
>>141463
The distinction is that someone with differing opinions can be argued with in a discussion. Unfortunately, you don't get that with disingenuous trolls who hold nothing but contempt for you and your hobby. Their hobby IS the website. Excuse me for not wanting to interact with them.

 No.141468

I want to talk about my hobby not listen to outsider opinions about my hobby. Be yourself be yourself be yourself.

 No.141469

>>141463
It's not wanting to "be sheltered from the big meanies," it's a fundamental philosophy difference. Yes, you can go to your big social media sites if you zero conflicting conflicting opinions, but conflicting opinions are not the problem. The problem are people, probably people like you, who want to actively destroy these hobbies because you don't like them or pretend to not like them to fit in.

 No.141470

i believe the idea is more that you should be willing to play with them and turn their stuff around, to have a back and forth of some sort, even if they're vapid shitposters
as it commonly occurred on 4/qa/

 No.141471

>>141470
Yeah but that worked on /qa/ because there wasn't a huge influx of retards everywhere. And then once they flooded in look what came of it.

 No.141472

>>141471
nuh uh half of the board was an influx of retards and you filtered people by clowning on them or spamming or doing fun stuff

 No.141473

>>141472
And then the mods banned us and imported a billion more retards, and then look what happened with the efforts of the few left who tried to fix the place.

 No.141475

>>141473
yeah but that was caused by mod action, which is a different topic from whether you should or should not stay in a general, which are also affected by the staff's whims either way

 No.141476

It's more to say, you can salvage and fix a board steering towards the wrong path when you're in the majority. But once you've ceded that majority to a larger group of degenerates then it's hopeless to fix without major changes from up top. So fixing /v/ as a minority is hopeless.

>>141475
Yeah well that's why I'm not in a general and spend most of my time here instead. I don't like being subject to the whims of staff I can't trust.

 No.141480

>>141467
>if the "larger site culture" is just low effort frogposting and bait then I would happily be a tribalistic neanderthal and sit in my corner if it means I could talk to people
This is the mindset that turned /a/ into the general-infested shithole it was yesterday. Utter stagnation to avoid seeing a kuso meme template that hasn't been a serious threat in years. Take one look at the site today and you'll see there are fewer frogs than there were in the early 10s, but I guess it's easier to write off the rest of the site as hostile to you specifically than to actually go see whether your preconceptions are correct.

 No.141481

>>141480
I can look at /v/ and reddit and aside from a few threads I post in here and there, there's next to no difference.

People who hate my hobby on /v/ at worst pull bottom in pic rel once and never post again. This "people who hate my hobby" argument is nonsensical to me. Reeks of actually meaning "people who like my hobby in ways i don't like"
I've found many years ago the only treat to my ability to discuss my hobbies on 4chan are either
1. an autistic with a botspam script
2. not actually having enough people interested in the hobby to keep a thread alive
Which fortunately i've learned to compensate with other IBs or even Reddit albeit that's a noticeably lesser experience since nobody replies in kind when you effortpost, they just grunt and upvote.

Nobody wants to talk with you. Nobody wants to interact with you. If you think people being forced to do so is a good thing then that's hilarious and part of the main reason nobody wants to do it. 4meme is just a place for people to congregate without having to make accounts, nobody wants to "interact" with some random schizophrenics that don't even know what the thread is about and are inevitably part of the cancer demanding consistent 24/7 low effort posts to feed their (You) hunger. You're just seething people are actually talking about something that they enjoy instead of whatever /v/ is seething about today.
