I wouldn't know whether to be truly afraid of 4chan or push them off. HWNDU capture the flag game was a testament to their capabilities.
The internet really brings out the worst in people sometimes.
Is this just /pol/ now? It seems to me (an outsider) that the rest of the site is the same as it always was.
/pol/'s influence is spreading it's taint. Containment doesn't work.
I don't get the "/pol/ or 4chan" thing because I see /pol/ level trash every time I visit any board
So... full of shit heads in almost every popular board?
Containment has only allowed it to fester so bad that its spreading, mixing with /b/ has just turned it into a A-Grade Toxic crap. It'd be better for the site to shutdown at this point but that won't happen because money so we're just stuck with 4Chan being a place not of memes and crazy shit but of assholes.
I see the occasional asshole that spouts off some racist diatribe here or there, but for the most part all the boards I go on are better places for discussion of my hobbies than here or reddit or what have you. I wanna be able to hop on at anytime of day (or night) and be able to instantly get help with my MtG decks or Warhammer armies, and that's just not something I can get anywhere else.
When the boards are specific and most importantly, well moderated, they're brilliant.
But that's the problem, the boards that pull the most people in are the ones that are non-specific. In addition, all it takes is one 'SJW' to post something slightly critical of Warhammer or etc and you'll see the /pol/ influence appear out of nowhere.
Like 4chan has some really cool parts and all but the toxicity is worse than ever and not even in the funny way anymore. Everywhere you go on the site just feels like it's full of genuine hatred and spite instead when it used to feel more like jokes and trolls, maybe I'm wrong and it's always been like this but christ it's unbearable to visit.
Most of the more hardcore crazies are over on 8chan anyway aren't they?
Even the porn boards (Only worthwhile boards to visit) are full of /pol/ crap about women, LGBT and black people.
can they not get off without being political or
Yeah, I still haunt /vg/ because you get discussion of games there that might not get discussed much elsewhere, but it becomes increasingly hard and there are some game generals I've dropped entirely because every second post was /pol/ bullshit. It's become a toxic cesspool and even formerly 'comfy' generals are beginning to attract racist shitbirds.
/pol/ just needs to be fucking deleted already.
It usually goes something like /pol/-user does not approve of interracial relationships -> /pol/-user finds porn-thread which is focused on, or includes, interracial relationships -> /pol/-user proceeds to be mad that they did something they know would make them mad, complains about bestiality and calling everyone cucks and fags. Because that's clearly productive.
Ehh, mostly just the pedos.
I haven't been on 8chan in a surprisingly long time.
8chan's never going to be able to compete with 4chan over any demographic because the limited traffic, technical issues, CP spambots, and xenophobic usebase is massively inconvenient for everyone who goes there, regardless of what they're seeking. The gamergate migration was just a fluke and the "/pol/ harbor" exodus that happened a few months later would never happen today.
it has never worked. deplatforming these crazy assholes is the only way to get rid of them
