>>200118I gave up 4chan and reddit for the summer. I ended up coming back because the summer is winding down.
While I don't like 4chan for what its culture is slowly morphing into, I can tell you that any 4chan board (excluding /r9k/, /pol/, and /soc/)is 10000x better than the average subreddit.
I really love /co/ and its pretty much my homeboard, I kindof like /tv/'s subject matter but its a /pol/ colony unfortunately and /fit/ used to be (and it still is) the shit. /fa/ is kindof cool but eh…
But seriously fuck reddit.

back when I first started using 4chan, I used it for /y/ (no, not proud of that lol). that board is pure cancer tho and is also slow as fuck so now I just browse /ck/, /fa/, and /fit/. my favorite board is probably /tg/, they have a nice community as well, mostly. and uh, aside from those I also go on /gif/ for the obvious.

I was actually routinely using 4chan a couple years back for the /mgg/ thread on /vg/, but then it kinda died when the hype for MGSV did.

Worst thing I've ever seen is CP (about 8+ years ago), but this week it was a webm of a dog being skinned alive in a /ck/ thread.
I only ever go on /tv/, /ck/, or /an/ but I've been browsing /tv/ less and less lately. /pol/tards are incapable of behaving and refuse to stay in their containment board, instead they bombard every single part of the site with their off-topic "redpilling", even /an/. There’s this one retard that keeps making pit bull hate threads and then spams it with race shit. Animals and goddamn nature is the last place I want to see Cletus sperg about shitskins and white genocide.

Anyway, I used to love /x/, especially the nope threads, I could really read that shit all night long. I stopped using it when everyday there was the same type of thread of a fat virgin nerd asking for tips on how to summon a succubus.
Other than that, I would just zap the other boards. /v/ and /co/ were probably the ones I stayed the most outside of /x/. I really don't go there anymore because of the boards already mentioned here like /pol/ and the liking.

I wanted to reply but didn't want to be dogpiled by someone who was shitposting to begin with. The text that accompanied the skinning process was complete bullshit because it has nothing to do with the way dogs are prepped for food.
It was actually a clip taken from a fur factory farm, and what was being skinned was a type of canid called a "raccoon dog" which is more related to the fox. It was a really popular clip used by PETA and other animal rights activist groups in the mid aughts.

Honestly I'm so used to the whole gore/rekt threads, the animal abuse in them, car crash threads. It's gotten to the point where I casually look for those threads just to see people die, see how they die, how others react around them. I /guess/ the worst I saw was this webm of a brick falling off a truck, going through a car driving the opposites directions windshield and smashing this ladies skull in. What was worse was the deadly screams of the passengers in the car. I take that back, the worst thing I ever saw was some guy shoving his hand into a dead animal carcass and eating the maggot, and then throwing them up.
>>Boards with the worst communities? Boards with the best communities?
I don't browse many boards, but I have to say /cgl/ and /r9k/ are the shitty ones imo. I only go on the Taobao or Cringe threads on /cgl/, but I do enjoy reading the embarrassing story greentext on r0k, seeing sad whtie boys reee at woman.

I only really go on /ic/ (even though it literally made art the most stressful thing ever for me), /cgl/, /v/, and /a/; the latter two mainly for off-topic discussions and the occasional small threads for media I like.
I've cut down on my 4chan usage because of how much /pol/ has incubated an outbreak of constant race/political wank. Talking to some people from 4chan via Discord made me realize how many people seriously drink the /pol/ kool-aid and get wrapped up in the "habbenings". I hear there's sometimes good threads on /pol/, but that's like digging through piles of shit to find a dollar bill when I can just go elsewhere.
Also, I've seen the usual stuff the other anons here have mentioned, but I've gotten really good at avoiding gore or similar stuff.

I never frequented 4chan much, so I really haven't seen anything too bad besides skimming gore threads out of curiosity and immediately clicking out. Now I mostly browse /x/, /fa/, /cgl/, and /r9k/ out of boredom, and /vp/ and /tv/ for specific releases.
I fortunately only discovered 4chan after my brony phase ended, otherwise I could easily see myself being on /mlp/ constantly.
/vp/ is shit a lot of the time, but the community excitement leading up to a new game is always the best time I have on 4chan. I find myself still coming back to the site because of occasional funny or interesting threads, but sometimes /r9k/ makes me want to kill myself.

I mainly dislike /b/ and /pol/. Other boards are alright, but I hate how better some could be/have been, like /x/, and /tv/. I really wish I could stop spending so much time on image boards, though.

Like everyone else I saw gore and cp on /b/ as a kid but fortunately it didn't stick with me unlike some fictional guro manga that instead left me with borderline traumatic flashbacks.
>What do you usually use it for? Where do you usually hang out? Boards with the best communities?The boards with constructive hobbies always seemed the most well adjusted, but that's not saying much. I was a regular /cgl/ user before moving to lolcow. I miss the seagull memes and feeling like I belonged to a community with shared interests but the ban on any kind of criticism and the increasingly young userbase just pushed me out of it.
I also used /ic/ but got fed up when it became full of sad tfw no gf posters who spend all their time ranting about Sakimichan instead of drawing, and enjoyed /x/ until it dried up. I liked the comfy Animal Crossing generals on /vg/ but now even they are just overrun with anons posting about wanting to fuck either the villagers or specific Animal Crossing user avatars.
>Boards with the worst communities? The boards I like are bad enough, 4chan is
toxic to the core and breeds such terrible levels of misogyny, political cruelty and racism that sometimes it feels like a bad joke. Imo regular users of /pol/, /b/ and /r9k/ should automatically be assigned psychological interventions, and /adv/ should just be nuked because it's just full of psychotic failed PUAs teaching naive depressed NEETs how to fuck up their own lives too.
>What pulls you back to 4chan? Why are we still here, just to suffer?I only go there if there's a new release or breaking drama that I can't find information on anywhere else, I never want to go back to posting there regularly. The broken ass Captcha make posting from my mobile so unnecessarily difficult too, even when it works it asks me to identify American stuff I don't recognize. I will always appreciate that it was my gateway to anonymous posting though, I love the honest moments that happen between anons when they're free of updoot farming.

Also keep an eye out for interesting books and obviously don't go in with the mindset you have to believe and get an epiphany of every single thing or debunk everything like a fedora atheist, some ideas are just interesting to wonder about and thats it.
I would not recommend it as a board to go often but it can be pretty fun once in a while even with all the larping and chaos. I am not sure there are many places like that, even conspiracy podcasts have shitty communities.
To give an example, i´ve fell into a bit of a rabbit a while back and read Passport to Magonia, daimonic reality, Operation Trojan Horse and crytoterrestrials because i saw then recommended in some fae threads some time ago, the topic is very interesting and inspiring to me. That just one thread between all other shitty threads made it worthwhile.
I also like old jrpgs so i go on vr/ as well.

>>466090Is there any browser add-on that would help me browse /lit and /toy without worrying about seeing gore or cp? Either specifically for imageboards or that can be used on a specific website. I wish lolcow had more active users so that we could talk more on the topics, but doubt that it will ever change and I somehow cannot get into browsing subreddits.
I've never been browsing 4chan as I do not want to see disgusting shit, but I know that some threads might be interesting and useful.

>>467695Those boards are too slow for people to really spam crap, I don't think you'd really have to worry. They're blue boards so posting even normal porn is against the rules.
But you can hide all the images if you're really paranoid.

>>467695Even x/ is a blue board, meaning any gore or porn gets you banned and the post erased. Even the "cursed" image threads on there feature no gore .
Just don't go into b/, r9k/ or pol/ and it should be okay. 4chan as a whole is nowhere near as evil as it is portrayed in the media, most racy thing you'll find on most boards is salty people calling each other faggots and using no-no slurs

>>200118>What's the worst you've ever seen of the site?Someone in /ic/ mistakenly posted their forensic science homework of a chopped up body instead of a tutorial on hands.
>What do you usually use it for? Learning stuff, pirated resources, and giving advice
>Where do you usually hang out? Boards with the worst communities? Boards with the best /lit/, /adv/, /IC/ and /ck/. It's from worst to best. The ones further right simply bring up politics less making them better.
>What pulls you back to 4chan? Why are we still here, just to suffer?/IC/ is sadly the best art community I know. I've tried art discords and they always make me rage quit over how dumb they are. IC's stupidity doesn't bother me as much for some reason. Lit for chart threads, CK for cooking, and ADV cause I like helping people

On 4chan I usually only visit the cis lesbian thread on /lgbt/, my country's thread on /int/, and the generals of the few anime/manga/vidya stuff I like on /a/ and /vg/. Occasionally I visit /x/ too, although it's not as fun as it used to be.

>>471590Nope
4chan's pervasive pedo culture exists to this day
You won't find it on boards like /x/–but all of the most traffic heavy boards (/tv/, /pol/, /v/, /mu/, even /co/) is absolutely something that you'll run into
No. 472338
>>472334And to follow up on this, the edgy pranks that get media attention aren't relegated to /b/ (which is mostly just porn and stupid and/or racist questions now)
Plenty of shit from /v/, /pol/, and /r9k/ gets plenty of media attention

I'm sorry that you had to witness something like that and even CP, anon. Thankfully I've never come across CP so far and I hope I never will. I don't browse 4chan often and when I do, it's the more "normie" blue boards.

/a/ and /tv/ and my main boards. sometimes /int/. When it comes to board culture /tv/ has it pretty bad. The good thing about /a/ is the rule of 3DPG so you won't see all that much of misogynistic drivel like on /tv/. I think the anonymity is the best thing about it. You get some interesting insights…
I don't really know why I keep gravitating back to. Especially since they not only strenghtened my internalized misogyny but I don't think I'll ever be able to ever trust a man after a decade on that image board. And should I ever get into something like a relationship I know better than to send nudes. kek

>>493124It was TOTALLY different. I know people love saying 4chan was always shit, but before /new/ bought all the legit sexists and racists, 4chan as a whole, was less
toxic as funny as that sounds.
No. 493164
>>493126Pretty much this. It was still contrarian in its own ways but at the same time, a majority of posters didn't take shit as seriously as they do today. More natural? Not sure how to put it. /new/ and /pol/ really opened the floodgates for a lot of bullshit and moot should have never brought it back after nuking it the first time. Same with /r9k/ after it became a gangbang of whining, stuff seemed to progressively get worse over time.
As fucked as it is, I miss the kinda humour from back then, as edgy as it was lol. Memes and stuff like that weren't inherently forced and you could actually find good discussions and new topics to dive into. Seems like the same shit ad infinitum these days while everything else gets banned or ignored. I only go on /ck/ nowadays and even there people still start arguments over unrelated shit, it sucks.
No. 493222
>>493124It was pretty much the same as it is now. The main difference being that today there is political talk in almost every thread. Back then there was constant CP spam instead and it would sometimes stay up for hours even on a busy board like /b/.
>>493126>>493164All those people were there and thriving long before /new/. They were calling Obama a nigger and hoping he would get JFK'd before he was even elected. Even with that said it was definitely less politically motivated, but they still didn't miss a chance to shit on jews, blacks, and gays, in between the Habbo Hotel raids and Battletoads prank calls. The increase in political talk wasn't anything to do with /new/, or /pol/, either. They worked pretty well as containment boards. Politics just started to become evermore inescapable around 2012ish onward. 4chan just followed that trend.
I will grant you that the /r9k/ incels did increase the overall sexism when they took over that board and started contaminating others.
No. 493851
>>493124That's from /co/ the board with the nickname /co/mblr.
Because of the subject matter of mainly kids cartoons and superhero comics it's not as 'hardcore' as some other boards. Though still 4chan.
No. 493860
>>493124I was there, never on /b/ or any of the other famously shit or porn boards, and tbh it was absolutely not nicer/more/stable/etc.
>>493222 was my experience – sure, I spent time there because there was genuinely some interesting discussion, solid humor, and interesting new avenues into stuff I liked on /a/ and /co/ but getting to that always meant wading through an ocean of lololol AIDS lololol tits or gtfo lololol jews did WTC. Let no one ever tell you that there was, idk, a kinder, gentler 4chan. I have some good memories, but it's also the place that gave me 10,000 new ways to hate myself as an unfuckable spic bitch.
Weird note: a kid from my school tried to fuck over a teacher at our hs by using /b/ as his personal army. He was hugely mocked, but I'll never forget that /b/ flooded the teacher (who was a good person, he was just a shit) with gore, porn, stalkery shit, photoshops, etc, just because they could and dangling a woman they could conceive of as a heinous bitch they could traumatize was something they salivated over.
/co/ storytime did get me into a lot of favorite comics though.

If one of them didn't post her mug constantly, I would've thought that she was an actual incel guy.

For years I was a tripfag on a /fit/ oversharing personal info and cringy spergy shit.
I can't set foot in any body building or steroid related community without someone eventually recognizing me and bringing it up.
Can't really blame 'em, though, lately I've been doxxed and come close to real life issues a little too much for comfort and have realized the rampant attention-whoring isn't worth much and I really should've gotten help for my mental health sooner. Deleted what trace of my online identity I could off the internet, but the 4chan shit is a little harder to scrub.
Oh well, live and learn. I made some close friends from there who I hold really close to heart and still talk with.
Outside of that, can't say I think any of the boards on 4chan presently are salvageable or even have been for years. I used to really enjoy /cgl/ and /x/ though, and I've had an on/off love with /a/. /ck/ used to be decent as well. R9k really did ruin the site, but I think it just expedited it's downfall… would've been inevitable given the current online culture change anyway.
We all grow older and the new generation takes over, or it dies down and becomes abandoned. Shame the good things of old couldn't be more prevalent still, but the people who remember and created those things have mostly moved on… so what can we expect from it, really?

Why the fuck are you chasing men with no money and all the risk? And if it's not about money, then honey there ain't nothing to boast about being the object of lust for society's stock of rejected failure men. You can do better. If anons are right and if you put in the emotional labor only to net maybe $100 a week in cash, that's like working for $2.50 an hour!

>>503445I have no idea where this platitude came from, but it's pretty universal that almost everyone looks down on sex work. Whereas with retail or fast food yeah you get a few ignorant people who act like they're above you, but for the most part everyone has had or knows someone who's had these as starter jobs. You'd have something to build from on your resume to boot.
