>>141457 >>141458 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.

>>141456 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.

>>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.

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.

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.

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.

It did end up being pretty derivative of that, but still better than most of the stuff they've done sense. It also gave a pretty good idea of what the ideal level of speed and consolidation is.

>>141464 Naw. You're making a part (broadness of the userbase and opinion) out to be the whole of what's being advocated for. The whole of what an anonymous bbs is isn't simply a broad (or tiny) userbase and while I don't really agree with that anon he certainly isn't just calling for more users in a vacuum.
Put more simply: Calling for more diverse users on an anonymous bbs isn't the same as calling for more diverse users on shitter. Platform and media matter.

>>141483 I agree with you, that with the way 2ch/2chan/4chan treat all bumps and posts equally, the biggest metagame that gets in the way of 'interesting threads and posts get bumped, where they get seen, and you get more interesting replies, which in turn bumps the thread so it gets seen etc etc' has never been a few angry shitposts. It's spammers. Whether its botted or one dedicated schizo camping out threads for 10 years. They're the ones that don't let posts/threads live or die on engagement. They're the noise to the signal.
When this nonsense happens not by individuals but cabals, we call it a general thread.

The thread did not start devolving into insults until 75% into it, which would be a record in modern 4chan. That same topic today would almost immediately become a deluge of
