Imageboards are dying in the Western World (88)

1 Name: Anonymous Addict : 2017-10-01 18:26 ID:P9OB6Jyx

What kind of bizarro world do we live in where everyday person not only is terrified of a site that advocates open source ideals and pushes their user base towards creative commons but has learned from the popular media to actively resent it? What has happened to us that people are flocking towards grotesque, selfish corporations whose only interest is to satisfy their shareholders as though they were some warm, fuzzy paternal figure? What is wrong with our culture that a company like Apple--the same company that lobbies against right to repair laws, has a worker death toll in the thousands, and forces their users to throw %95 of their old merchandise in to landfills rather than recycling just to stifle third party repair practices--is lecturing us on how we should feel about gay marriage? And we're actually listening to them!

Just to be clear, I'm not disparaging gay marriage. I just like the fact that the sentiment is coming from the mouths of publically traded companies.

4chan is alive and well, but the number of small imageboards and textboards has dwindled drastically in both amount of sites and activity on them, as well as in general quality.
Also, your typing style immediately gives you away as a 4chan regular, and a rather new one at that. This makes you by far more homosexual than >>1 could ever dream of being.

It's because forum-dwellers are dwindling in numbers. Without the idea of having to actually dig and search for a place to belong, everyone growing up now are just handed the "usual places" and never stray that far from them. We're basically facing our own Eternal September; the more and more kids who come online to be edgy or have non-conformist ideas are all being funneled to either Reddit's edgier corners or 4chan/8chan. No one's going to bother creating their own image board when they can just set up a Discord.

They're non-conformist in how they present themselves, but of course they rarely stray from the norm. Best example I can think of is the "race realism" thing where they want to be edgy by saying that niggers have low IQs but they won't call them niggers, opting for a more "pc" substitute like "nigga" or even worse, "nibba". Or how they'll watch anime and play videogames and whatnot but only whatever shit's popular this year, and they'll regurgitate opinions that they heard from youtube reviews or whatever

Youtube is popular, and they're all crypto-normalfags, so meme & YT opinion regurgitation is inevitable IMO. "Race realism" has always been gay, hiding behind a bad attempt at political correctness instead of just being honest with yourself.

You're both missing the point. 8chan people are most definitely not politically correct. They use racial slurs all the time, they use fag as a term for gay people rather than a joking means of endearment, and a large chunk of the userbase consists of actual nazi sympathizers.

No, the problem with 8chan is that it falls into the "popular unpopular opinion" trap.

If you visit that site and look around enough, you're going to see the same supposedly unpopular opinions stated the same way over and over and over again. Everyone there thinks the same, talks the same, ect. They even have very similar tastes in things like art and music. There's no room for individual opinion, and anyone who goes against the grain is marked as an outsider and is antagonized.

It doesn't matter if they're different from the rest of the web, internally everyone there is very fucking similar. And I get that communities are supposed to have a shared culture. But there's a point where it goes from being culture to dogma, and the likes of 8chan have the latter, not the former.

And said dogma isn't really a dogma of its own. It's been so long since the openminded individualistic version of the internet died that it's gotten to the point where people honest to god can't imagine how things were anymore. The closest thing we have to individuality nowadays is contrarianism, which is really just a dishonest form of conformity.

4chan is now dead too.

The mods have started globally banning many people for 24 hours or more for "replying to off-topic garbage." They do this without linking to the post. So they can now ban you for literally any post for literally any reason and you'll never know what post it was, what board it was on, and why you were banned. It's not even possible to know what's defined as off-topic on 4chan, e.g. anime is on-topic on /tv/ but often deleted, while /g/ threads about trannies should be off-topic but actually aren't. It's absurd that users now have the responsibility to know what posts they may or may not reply to, instead of the mods deleting those posts and banning the people who made them. I also got a warning not long ago for replying to a spambot--as if I'm supposed to possess a real-time encyclopedia of all bots active on the site.

4chan's been on a downward spiral for years but this is the last straw.

What exactly do you believe they are moderating? They won't say what the post was and what made it off-topic. They can't define what off-topic means on the site. Even common sense and reading the rules won't help you navigate the distinction between on and off-topic on 4chan, and the mods would sooner saw off their own limbs than explain anything to the users.

38 Name: Anonymous Addict : 2019-09-27 18:32 ID:RFc/U+Zh

Did I write this post? That's literally my exact thought on the topic. It pisses me off how a forum with such a superbly ethical structure is antagonized simply because its moderation neither condones nor condemns the content hosted there. Whereas, a service like Facebook can be literally the biggest hotbed for animal abuse, child pornography, and hate speech and be accepted in the mainstream simply because they allow themselves to be chastised. Imageboards are literally the epitome of clearnet: public forums that anyone can participate in. Facebook, in contrast, is predominantly darknet and is literally designed to cultivate echo chambers.

This whole situation makes me so devastated. Sure, imageboards are 99% shitposting, but what about that 1% spark of /real/ contact? Real human interactions, not facilitated by some Big Other, not sterilized by a mainstream consensus about what's pedagogically and politically Good. Imageboards never cared about my gender, socioeconmic status, age, race. Everyone always treated my as an equal, which is why I was constantly abased. But, in the midst of it all, there's always that spark of--by sheer entropy-friendship and love. I loved everyone on those stupid sites. I don't like posting on 4chan nowadays, but it always made me happy that someone else in my place could come along and join a community like that. Even if I never recieved credit for my contributions, I was so happy to participate. The very thought filled me up with goopy, squirmy joy. Now that I know the longevity of such cultures is much smaller than I anticipated, I feel scared and lonely. I want to kill myself. I really do. Everything I've ever done, everything I've ever worked for, down the drain. Versions of myself, unfortunate enough to have grown up during this political climate will be alienated and ostracized with no avail, no light at the end. I want to die.

But they care a lot about whether you watch anime, whether you're neurotypical, and how often you have sex. Those are the most important things.

Don't be sad >>38, nowadays VPS's are really cheap and you can make your own forum with little effort. You just have to purchase some server space, a domain and install a script.
I'm saying this because I belive that, faced as we are with the current climate surrounding internet discussion forums. That is: a sharp increase in centralisation and surveillance, mostly (if not in its entirety) on corporate, soul-less websites. We should make an effort to create our own places for people to talk freely about whatever they want (or about whatever you want, you're going to moderate your forum anyways). We have to do it, as a last raging scream against the all-consuming corporations. As a way of connecting people once more. As a way to build bridges between nations, races and languages.

Today's centralized corporate internet connects people way too much, not too little. "Diversity + promixity = war" is also true on the internet, and the more connected everyone is the easier it is to spread propaganda, misinformation and hysteria. Things were better when people were less connected, i.e. when the internet was less centralized and comprised of smaller sites of limited scope.

And it's not like there aren't still a lot of those sites, it's just that few people use them because they'd rather be on the big sites that already have a lot of users and activity. This is also true for imageboards, where almost everyone is on 4chan. Even 8chan's most populated boards were just 4chan refugee camps.

Image may be dying, and that's unfortunate, but what about text boards? Basically all of them are either dead, inactive, or filled with spam. And on the boards that do still get posts, there is little to none in the way of actual discussion, it's all just DQN quality threads. Those are important, but so is actual discussion.

Literally only do digital stuff on my desktop anymore. And nowadays browsing the internet just isn't fun anymore. Aside from small in-groups of people I've known since I was a kid I don't delve into the net anymore. And even at that I don't use my computer nearly as often as I once did

It's partly because I'm older and partly because everything out there nowadays no longer holds a "grass-roots" type of orientation where cooperation and mode of content is organic, no longer something unique, genuine at it's face and immediately enjoyable. Corporations have successfully metastasized and forced themselves into the fiber of what I used to love and so I just grew tired of it; even little nooks like 4-ch have been tangentially affected, new users unknowingly lacking purity, browsing and posting without realizing it's from a time long since passed.

Don't get me wrong. Plenty of places on the (non-English speaking) web could benefit from new users. It's that by using the web to communicate with other people today, we as Westerners only dig further down into the muck and mire, seeing how deep we really can force ourselves into the tarnished filth we can go by continuing to retain hope that there's something worthwhile to see, participate in and do.

It's only going to keep getting worse. A niche Japanese youtube channel I was following was recently deleted because it was deemed not safe enough for children for whatever reason (really love the calm and measured approach of permanently deleting the entire channel without warning). But the homicidal pedophiles that are building this corporate nanny state are of course perfectly safe for children...

Eventually the internet will be so controlled that only the most normal of normalfriends will get any use out of it. That's why I store as much as I can locally.

Everyone's complaining about how everything they love is gone and being replace with modern shit they hate, even though they're posting said complaints to a website that looks like it was made in the 90s and never left the 90s.

The wonderful thing about the web is that it's functionally infinite. Stop using mainstream sites and your life will improve 5000%.

I myself don't use any normie shit. I spend all my time lurking on IBs and BBSs that get at most five posts a day and looking for weird sites on neocities, and it feels basically the same as it did back in the 90s and early 2000s.

I tried to think this way too, but I realized it was just larping and denial. The internet is made up of people, and when the people all flock to the small handful of mainstream sites then that just changes things. The internet doesn't work like it used to. It was once normal to regularly visit Geocities or other small personal sites because that's where the people were, but they aren't there anymore. Now you have to go out of your way to larp the 90s. The fact that this site exists doesn't mean others aren't being taken down, and there aren't non-mainstream alternatives to everything.

The image/textboard cinematic universe is almost entirely a wasteland.

You act as if the old net wasn't the same way. Back when I used the starmen.net forums you were lucky to see a reply within a day.

It’s partially a good thing because if you know what you want and you’ve been around for a while, you can safely have your happy place without much immediate need of worrying about newfags, for lack of a better word. I agree that small communities are still prevalent; just not as apparent.

But the feeling of the net at large really is a drag... Like, it’s one of the few things that actually bothers me nowadays. Good sites are regularly founded and destroyed / corporatized and perverted, and it’s annoying. YouTube is probably the most popular example of this. While I don’t contest that if you know how to find them, small niche worthwhile communities are widely discoverable, it really is just not the same.

I’m going somewhat out on a limb here, but with web 2.0 things like constant meta discussion and typical issues of static forums et al tend to just make it really a let-down to access the smaller communities. “Is this place good? Will it be fucked soon? How do I know and why should I care?”

I maintain that the internet just isn’t the little bastion of enjoyment (to me) that it once was. People know what a meme is. They know about the things we love, but they don’t understand it. They can’t. It’s a concept that is almost no longer

Some say the internet has now pervaded our collective consciousness, and this is very true, but it’s also true that meatspace has invaded this place that once was uniquely special. It doesn’t have that overall charm.

And I’m very much harping, here, and being a total classic “internet veteran”. But I’m sure many of you will agree with me when I say that the overarching spirit that this place once had is much different now and that it’s kind of a bummer... There are good places that I still enjoy. I don’t mind slow sites. But many places I really liked are now defunct and I think web 2.0 is partly to blame for occurrences like; where a YouTuber can upload a 15 minute long video with a clickbait thumbnail and talk to you about redundant bullshit and get seven hundred million views, where places like small grassroots imageboards are almost now no longer a thing

Sage for posterity, please rape my face, etc.

The domination of facebook, reddit, 4chan, twitter, discord, wikipedia, wikia and youtube and whatever else has drained users away from other places and altered the way people use the internet. The younger generation has grown up knowing little if anything about homepages and forums, and most old timers have also moved on. It's not the case that web 1.0 just kept going as usual and merely got overshadowed by the larger web 2.0.

Maybe my earlier post was too harsh. If you are content with what you're doing then that's fine. But generally speaking it's not viable to stick to web 1.0.

The forums I used to visit weren't anywhere near so slow as to only get one or two messages a day.

The internet is a lot more stratified now than it was then, that's for sure. But at the same time, I don't think it's quite as bad as you think it is.

At the very least, the smaller side of the net isn't really "dying" anymore. Most sites like this one stopped shrinking around the mid-2010s, and a lot of smaller sites have actually been (very slowly) growing.

I doubt things will ever go back to the way they were back in the 90s, but at the same time it's also unlikely that things will get any worse than they are now.

I think it's very likely, actually. With how much weight the corporate giants can throw around, I would not be surprised in the slightest if they started saying "Anyone who specifically avoids using our website(s) must have something to hide!" and have people eat it up. Like 8chan, the entire site was not dedicated to whatever got them in the news. They had vidya, anime, and a whole slew of other harmless boards. But if you publicly admitted to browsing 8chan at all, you were suddenly a terrorist. Then the reverse starts happening with "Oh, why are you not using Facebook2.0, hm? Are you some sort of terrorist, trying to go off the beaten path?"

Also this is my first reply in this thread.

Not only that, but 8chan will probably never be able to come back. It almost re-launched as 8kun last month, and was immediately taken down by activists.

Well hirojew finally pulled the last straw and disabled the noscript captchas on 4chan, effectively preventing anyone who uses some form of tracking prevention from posting. I think this is finally the end of 4chan as the only people who are going to be able to post now (without incurring the wrath of the 10 second slow-motion captions) are normalfags.

Not saying 4-ch is the epitome of maturity, but I think there's a difference in mentality between, say, DQN and most 4chan boards. It's not the kind of place to get really engaged with, too. I personally just go there, post my current thoughts, my captchas, maybe roleplay grandpa, and leave.

4taba is finally dead now with no final database dump, but a new site with the same software has been set up at 4taba2.net as a successor.

Admin already banhammered me and I have no clue why. There was a spammer on there yesterday so maybe my IP was confused with his? Honestly I was one of the people that gave this reboot a chance but if this admin's too incompetent to keep a small community like this going then I probably won't touch it ever again

I never even posted on the nutaba and I'm already banned on it!

Recent casualties from last month:

  • 4taba
  • Arisuchan
  • Tanasinn

This makes me sad. Even though the situation is bad, it just keeps getting worse.

Maybe I should just finally learn Japanese and lurk their boards. I imagine Japanese boards are also losing users since the younger generation now uses Twitter, but is the situation as bad as in the West? Are old imageboards disappearing, or just very inactive, or do they still have decent health?

I'm not sure, but there is a high possibility that the situation is similar to the West, where the major boards are flooded with Twitter style posts, rather than abandoned for social media.
If I'm remembering this correctly, a nijura wiki mentioned the flood of "kids posting contemporary illustrations".

Futaba is fine, the same as usual.

>>82 Judging from the upload boards there are the expected handful of garbage posters http://dec.2chan.net/up2/src/fu25580.mp4

imageboards died due to anon's inclination to be a tranny cumbrain or a tryhard edgelord

It really isn't the promised land people make it out to be.
