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
Depends on the board. It’s just a virtual meet up of all the village idiots.
Sure, but the culture of 4chan as a whole sucks ass, even if some boards are not as bad as others.
Like yeah, it’s somewhat stupid that she thought 4chan has accounts
* cough tripfags cough *
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.
/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!
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.
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.
/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.
“have a 4chan”
yeah that was how it used to work, yepp.
People that pay for 4chan are shit tho fr
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
Does she think 4chan is the darkweb?
wrong,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_web
The deep web, invisible web, or hidden web are parts of the World Wide Web whose contents are not indexed by standard web search-engine programs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_web
The dark web is the World Wide Web content that exists on darknets: overlay networks that use the Internet but require specific software, configurations, or authorization to access.
Dark web is a subset of the deep web.
Think of dark web as the high-security installations where the best Pokémon are found. And the deep web as all the hard-to-access parts of the world (like the Himalayas) that have been less exploited by Pokémon hunters so there’s a better chance of getting rare-but-popular ones.
