Not to be a bootlicker, but I've been here since oldmin and this feels like the first time we've had an admin(s) that doesn't suck. We've had many updates this past year in comparison to what we had before, even if some of them were small. I'm very grateful, I think lolcow has a good future.

If it doesn't, could you either email (admin@lolcow.farm) or post your Chrome version numbers so they can be used for testing/resolving it? For transparency, our Chromium testing of the embed changes was done with Chrome version 119.0.6045.160.

>>65501Following up on this, it would appear this thread was deleted during the same incident as the Moovie Night thread.
>>65569We aren't trying to kill them. If we wanted to do that, we'd just ban them. The threads are autosaged because they were created by anons who were banned out of the Dumbass Shit thread for deliberately being disruptive and vastly increasing the moderation burden. The anons who now use Funposting were generating around 100 reports a day by themselves in Dumbass Shit. As long as you obey the global site rules and spoiler NSFW you guys can do whatever the hell you want in Funposting, but the threads will stay autosaged because of that. If you want to follow board etiquette, use Dumbass Shit. If you want to exist outside of society, you have your Funposting containment thread.

Also, however, why are other nonas continuing to engage with Romanianon? Just ignore and report. She's never gonna change and provoking her seems like male behavior at this point (no, I don't think it's males who are provoking her own here, but it's just copying what males do to mentally sick ppl on other sites).

>>65953No and that wasn't my point at all. Over the years a lot of anons have asked why we even have an email or subject or name field in the first place, like
>>65715, and I feel like a mod or admin on the lolcord has said before that they keep those fields around on purpose because it's funny when a newfag enters their info. See crystal.cafe for example. They want to make it clear even to newfags that they don't need to enter anything. Meanwhile, on here, in the Quick Reply field it even says 'Name' as if you're prompted to put something in. So I see why newfags fall for it and I believe it's by design, that's all I wanted to say

>>66043>It being in that state has nothing to do with mods Yeah, it's the lack of moderation. Locking a thread means they don't need to moderate it whatsoever.

Maybe mods shouldn't lock threads they're don't want to personally moderate. The majority of /ot/ is a bigger dumpster fire than left cows ever was and they know it too.

>>67838Not sure how old we're talking here, but I was there when /cgl/ started going downhill and began paying serious attention to the site when the Felice Fawn, Berry Tsukasa and shmegeh threads were starting to take off (2015).
Might just be the nostalgia talking here, but people are a lot more paranoid and sensitive nowadays. You could make edgy jokes and be cringe about your 4chan-related interests without people and jannies losing their minds. It felt as though the posters were both cringier yet cooler back then.
You can still have decent conversations and stumble upon fun threads, but you have to shift through a lot of shit, such as tiktok-fags, unfunny people trying to be funny, low-quality content for the sake of content etc. Guess the early years were better due to the amount of content we could talk about. The best threads around now are the moovie nights and doodle board in my opinion.
The community was slightly chaotic, but the site felt like it had a purpose and everyone had a similar mindset across the boards/threads despite varying topics. It's kind of like comparing old anime cons to what we have now I guess.
I think it's a clash of oldfags getting older and newfags not understanding the culture of the site and where it came from.
Moderation has also become more stifling, but at least the site loads faster now.
There's also this recently made thread

While I agree society felt meaner back in like the 00's when I was a teenager at least you could say whatever you wanted and it was like damn thats an opinion, let's move on. Now it's like everything vaguely non PC has got the pitchforks out and people are like leading crusades against people for their opinions it's utter madness imo.

No. 69673
>>67838i'm late but like
>>67899, this place was a lot more fun, so, so much more fun. the milk especially was way more entertaining and silly, mainly because people actually went to cons and/or ran in the same circles with a lot of cows, so there was always something stupid to talk about and it was fun to just laugh at people being weird and goofy. most of the cows we talked about were genuine eccentric types who were relatively harmless speds with unusual personality quirks and strange behavior, other than obviously
toxic characters like onision. no thots and political stuff - just weirdos like kanadajin, early venus, vicky, felice, pre-incest chris-chan.
i feel like older farmers also had a genuine sense of humor about themselves and their lives as well. we all knew we were weirdo weebs, since most of us grew up during a time when anime and manga was still perceived as "strange" by normalfags, and being on the internet was considered even weirder by most since you would get labeled a nerd or a shut in introvert. so even though people here did fight a lot and we could be assholes to each other, i think we understood one other and related well because we all had similar interests and experiences in our own lives that drove us to using lolcow, /cgl/, maxfag, etc. i don't feel the same kind of connection on the boards now and i notice a lot of the younger users don't always understand how different things were because "nerd" culture has become so normalized and mainstream.
i do think some of it is age related, but it's also how internet culture has changed since the mid 2010's and after covid. i agree, people are way more sensitive, way more argumentative, too quick to get upset even when you meant no harm; it's like they're always assuming you have some sort of ulterior motive or have an agenda. like
>>68512, in the 2000's people said and wrote crazy offensive stuff all the time. people in general moved on, even if they were offended or bothered by it, they just moved on. you were expected to be thick skinned and not take things personally, because there was always the risk of you getting posted and flamed on encyclopedia dramatica or 4chan for engaging with trolls. internet culture also did not revolve around politics 24/7. we used to get told that it wasn't about us, stop being retarded, go touch grass, gtfo your mom's basement…it was quite mean but eventually you got over it.
