Having seen it around, I absolutely hate this screenshot. The implicit message is that 4chan was/is actually good and cool, while that hasn’t been the case for a while (if it ever was). Like yeah, it’s somewhat stupid that she thought 4chan has accounts, but the point that the site is utter trash is true.

/mu/ used to be good tho

[-] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 19 points 10 months ago

Depends on the board. It's just a virtual meet up of all the village idiots.

[-] randomname01@feddit.nl 22 points 10 months ago

Sure, but the culture of 4chan as a whole sucks ass, even if some boards are not as bad as others.

[-] Nythos@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

Same is largely true for any board that gets big enough on the internet.

[-] randomname01@feddit.nl 10 points 10 months ago

Imo 4chan stands alone in how bad it is, but I see your point.

[-] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

4chan is extreme in both ways. They did get a terrorist camp bombed and Katawa shoujo is legit fantastic. But then it also had QAnon trolling (which moved to 8chan soon) and /pol/.

* cough tripfags cough *

[-] homicidalrobot@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Tripcodes changed after moot sold the site, meaning whoever the original qanon was, there's literally no way to verify any posts after the change are the same person (they almost definitely weren't). Also, you can just use trip explorer to "hack" a tripcode, and this was always possible. Identity on 4chan has always been impossible to preserve in a meaningful way on purpose, which is why pretty much every successful 4chan-originated project moved away from the boards to communicate.

Anyway, it's not comparable to an account, and judging someone for using a tool rather than what they're using it for is insane. Social media are tools.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Wasn't there the more secure !! codes? Or was that later broken too?

[-] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Secure trips use a secret key and cannot be bruteforced. They're not broken, it just seems that the secret key was changed, meaning all previous secure trips would be different, breaking continuity with old secure trips, but they still serve the same function now.

/a/ is good. Even the LGBTQ board is quite decent.

[-] flerp@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

knowing 4chan it's just as likely this is someone from 4chan trolling next thing you know they're going to be blowing up vans or something

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

/b/ was never good

But gosh damn did I love it from 2003 to 2009. If not for /b/, I would absolutely not be married to the most wonderful person. Long story.

I owe it mostly to W.T. Snacks. BRING BACK SNACKS.

I ALSO hope I can see him play someday!

/b/ was good when they had to save animals

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Peak 4chan time frame. I actually showed the site to a friend back then and she met someone there too.

I haven't heard the name W.T Snacks in a long time.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 months ago

Snacks is still doing music! A couple episodes of Midnight Snacks were life-changing for teenage me.

Heavily agree with peak 4chan time. People were crass and mean and the racist language was there still, but it was all performative; a way to be edgy somewhere as a person who isn’t a piece of shit in real life. I met some awesome people from there who are genuinely good people.

Now it’s filled with… well, y’know. Nü-4channers.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

/mu/ was so good back then (10-15 years ago). I went to /b/ as a curious teenager but quickly lost interest even then. But /mu/ introduced me to so many great artists and albums that I can't ever fully agree 4chan was never good. Even back on reddit there was a ton of shit I didn't like but I tightly curated my browsing there too.

[-] janet_catcus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 51 points 10 months ago

"have a 4chan"

yeah that was how it used to work, yepp.

[-] Azuth@lemmy.today 35 points 10 months ago

So happy I deleted my 4chan account, really helped curb my desire to kill the women I date.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

“have a 4chan”

Makes no sense at a to me.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago
[-] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The difference is that you "have" a Tumblr account and a page/blog to go with it.

4chan is, by design, an anonymous website. You need no account to post, so you don't "have" anything.

[-] kebabslob@lemmy.blahaj.zone 44 points 10 months ago

People that pay for 4chan are shit tho fr

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 48 points 10 months ago

Wait people pay for 4chan?

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 41 points 10 months ago

You can pay if you want to bypass captchas

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 11 points 10 months ago

They're either being funny, or are very stupid. It's hard to tell.

[-] DrCatface@lemmy.ml 23 points 10 months ago

$20 for a year of no capchas

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 28 points 10 months ago

The greatest thing to come from 4chan is an AI generated green text about a bottomless pit, having been trained on real 4chan green texts.

A machine learning algorithm was capable of better humor than the real people that post to that cesspool. Just remember that.

be me

bottomless pit supervisor

in charge of making sure the bottomless pit is, in fact, bottomless

occasionally have to go down there and check if the bottomless pit is still bottomless

one day i go down there and the bottomless pit is no longer bottomless

the bottom of the bottomless pit is now just a regular pit

distress.jpg

ask my boss what to do

he says "just make it bottomless again"

i say "how"

he says "i don't know, you're the supervisor"

rage.jpg

quit my job

become a regular pit supervisor

first day on the job, go to the new hole

its bottomless

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

It's beautiful

[-] boobs_@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Genuinely the best greentext I've seen in a long time

[-] Mako_Bunny@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 9 months ago

I don't get it...

[-] Ranger@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 10 months ago

Does she think 4chan is the darkweb?

[-] unreasonabro@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago

it's hilarious how literally none of things she is talking about are real

she speaks in myth

just another gorilla-ass opinion

[-] Crack0n7uesday@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

If you donate Bitcoin to 4chan you get a speed pass so you don't have to enter the captcha for a few months at a time, that's kind of like a membership but your posts are still marked anon so no one else would know unless using your physical device.

[-] poplargrove@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

No idea what the comments are on about. 4chan is where "kike" and "removed" are used as prepositions. Home of /pol/, etc. You have to be clueless or want to mislead if youre implying greentexts represent 4chan.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

removed

What mean

Also SCHLOP isn't a greentext

[-] poplargrove@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Slur that means bundle of sticks.

[-] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

You also have to be clueless or misled to think 4chan is entirely /pol/

[-] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 10 months ago

I have been a long observer of 4Chan, though I've long been banned for the silliest of reasons.

I have a hypothesis that increased 4Chan traffic, especially on /b and /pol indicates popularity of the alt-right movement and its many subsets, but also there is an ongoing war between troll-fueled triggered outrage and efforts to address topics with reason. Arguing on 4Chan is like arguing with Evangelical or Catholic apologists, but the fight goes on, regardless.

Also rare images pop up in /hr and /wp which is like caramel popcorn to me.

at least they save animals

[-] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

People think 4chan is the deep web? It's as vanilla as fucking Reddit!
