I visit 4chan several times a day, though I use Lemmy more.

Edit: I now only visit it a few times a month.

    Never. Like, I’ve browsed around a few times. /LGBT/ (when it wasn’t people from /pol/ trying to debate trans people) was the only board of value…I can’t put it into words but, it’s the only board I think really lives up to the romantic ideals of what 4chan is. It feels… weirdly neither irony poisoned like the rest of 4chan nor dead serious and moralistic like the rest of the internet. Maybe the rest used to live up, I’m young so I wouldn’t know (though I do know people were moaning about “the old 4chan” in 08.) But I don’t belong on /LGBT/, I’m moralism poisoned.

    Culturally, 4chan is a spent force, I think that became clear when every new meme from there was a Soyjak variant. It’s a shame some channers think they’re still on the precipice of internet culture. I just wish the ghost of /pol/'s influence would stop haunting my country.
