I stopped using 4chan. I now use lainchan. But this site is very slow. Do you guys come here often?

>>22159 why did you stop, anon?

>>22159 Out of all the possible places you could pick, why lainchan? >Do you guys come here often? Every day.

mostly lurk, I never know what to post.

>>22159 Somestimes every day, sometimes once a month or so. Depends on the surroundings.

>>22159 I started coming more often some months ago, I understand why you stopped seeing 4chan, but my advice is that Lainchan will not replace it, it's a totally different approach...

>>22159 4chan still has some ok boards, lurk the niche boards, they are still good

>>22159 It's not supposed to be fast. Back in the day before Applemanchild bought the site, kalyx had this saying about how it should work: you go out into the world, you see and do soykaf, and when that's done, you have something to post about on lainchan (if it's relevant). People who never go out into the world have nothing to say, so their posts will be meaningless and bad. Most users still understand this, and they don't say things when they have nothing to say. There is always a few occasional wanderers who spew politics or such, but they are eventually singled out for their behavior and leave in rage. Don't be like them, be cool like lurkers who do.

yes, i come here often please avoid frogposting though

>>22159 Daily. It's a comfy place.

>>22170 >he takes opinions of raging egomaniac that jerks on stream seriously >and boasts about them lol k

I come here a lot, but less now... It's been getting kind of awful sifting through all the political, pedo, and plainly stupid arguments people keep having.

>>22176 Wasn't Kalyx underage when he did that? Sometimes good points come from bad people...

>>22178 unironically one of the cutest Asukas I've ever seen.

> stopped using 4chan I've stopped using 4chan many times, but the last few years I've dealt with the withdrawl very well. Only visit 4chan archive sites, and only page10 or older. Pretty sure it's only a few minutes total in a week.

>>22170 >People who never go out into the world have nothing to say, so their posts will be meaningless and bad. big relate

I used to use it everyday for like 2 or 3 years but a lot of 4chan refugees started getting here and it shows. This place was a place to really say whatever you thought about anything but now there are way too many trolls soykafting up the place. I still lurk almost everyday. I think this is still my favorite website where I've had some of the best interactions and discussions since 90s bbs and soykaf.

>>22204 Damn. Agreed. Would love to invite her over

>>22178 >>>>>>kids do dumb things >what is lainchan lol k

>>22159 Lainchan has always been slow, but the content is better than most other chans. Once in a while there are influxes of crap but it gets shut down pretty quickly. 4skin still has a few decent boards if you ignore the 12yo's trying to sound edgy. And avoid election years unless you like to troll morons. Welcome, enjoy it. +1 Please no frogs.

[over on another homechan] >slow site, about a third of the speed of here (~10-15 active posters) >someone comes in from 4chan and makes a new thread announcing they came here from there >make two new threads for meaningless posts that go in existing threads >make a thread asking if we are dead and that the site is kinda soykaf >finally users respond, welcome them and explain we're a slow site, and please don't flood us with new threads and post soykafty 4chan politics and nu-ragecomic memes >queue soykafty condescending replies >queue adrenaline withdrawal after 3 days, leaves Hopefully OP is better. Welcome. Lurk and learn.

>>22259 *cue

>>22159 Its not that slow, is just 4chan that have many people.

I've been using Lainchan longer than I've been posting on 4chan, but broke a streak lasting several years and resumed posting on /mlp/ this year. I really like Tor posting, but decided I was getting too far lost if I was unable to post about ponies on 4chan with my real IP address. It's the only imageboard I use without Tor. I can't help that /mlp/ is still the best place for discussing ponies, and it's interesting to see just how much the rest of 4chan has changed, whereas /mlp/ just seems better now that the show is over and the people remaining are more comfortable rejecting what they don't like. It's amazing how many artwork, stories, crossovers jokes like this image, and everything else are still going strong after longer than a decade. I come here everyday, and eventually there's nothing more to post, because either every relevant thread has been posted in, or there's nothing to post about, and both cases are good times to stop until there's another reason to post. My favorite board is /lambda/, but I can only discuss programming so much before it actively draws away from more programming. Of course, that's nothing more programming can't solve, and then I'll have more things to discuss there.

> I stopped using 4chan. I now use lainchan. No need to share this information. > But this site is very slow. As is most of the interrnet. > Do you guys come here often? Once every few weeks, or when I'm not swamped with other things.

>I stopped using 4chan. I now use [also 4chan]. You don't seem to have made much of an improvement. Quite the opposite, to be honest.

>>22274 Sir, this isn't 8ch.

>>22159 I use this site every few months. Sometimes I'll make a thread then forgot about it completely.

>>22262 You know, I always avoided watching that show because everyone looked down on it and I thought liking it would be beneath me but hearing you talk about it has made me feel like giving it a go. I could do with a nice community like that.

>>22277 be careful, it's overrun with alt-right and outright nazis these days. love is good, as long as it's white.

>>22278 Although I am a TradCath nowadays, I was formerly an aspiring Fascist and Esoteric Hiterlerist. I still have Fascist-sympathies so that's okay. I just have to hide the fact that I'm not white. Thanks for the heads-up though.

>>22279 lmfao. >aspiring Fascist >esoteric Hitlerist >not white one of these things is not like the others~~~

>>22277 >hearing you talk about it has made me feel like giving it a go. I'm glad I could help. I haven't watched any of the last four seasons, there are nine in total, and don't recommend watching beyond the fourth. It had a fate like many cartoons, but I didn't let that destroy my love of it. >I could do with a nice community like that. It's most fun to create things. I write stories, although I don't think anyone here would want to read them. If you can draw, there's a constant draw thread just for that, as an example. It's fun to be creative, and having a partially-filled-in canvas like this makes it even easier.

>>22279 edgy

>>22236 >>22279 Lel you’d be surprised at how many Asians consider themselves Esoteric Hitlerists.

yes

>>22176 You should try it too it's an enlightening experience. Don't worry we don't judge you by size or IQ. >>22257 You should try it too it's an enlightening experience. Don't worry we don't judge you by the things you do. >I come here everyday, and eventually there's nothing more to post, because either every relevant thread has been posted in, or there's nothing to post about This, to be honest. I distinctly remember that phase of lainchan in 2017 where threads about SEL started to become insufferable, yet new members kept making the same thread again and again.

>>22262 I'm impressed that /mlp/ is still going. Feels like years since I've last seen it (or bronies) mentioned.

>>22320 That's just it, you said it yourself even if you didn't realize it. Unlike other internet cults, the horse fcukers didn't see getting their own board as a containment measure but as a gift. They were told to post all ponies all the time but only in one place and they listened. Course... it WAS a containment board but it worked for once. Usually these things backfire when they turn into staging grounds for malicious activity, something I understand is antithetical to being a pony crony, correct me if I'm wrong.

>>22327 Pony cronies shees

>>22331 I prefer "hose rapist"

>>22336 Equinosexual would be more respectful.

>>22337 pony pounding pervert would be most accurate though

All this talk of ponies reminds me of a hilarious... or something I consider hilarious encounter. I knew a guy at a job site I was at for a few months some time back. He was balls-deep in ponies, literally. He seemed like an ok guy, and I'm not terribly concerned with people's hobbies or interests. But man... this guy. He invited me over to his flat for some drinks, and the first thing I saw in his rented room was a truly obscene number of ponies. Dolls, plushies, models, figurines, pictures, drawings. Every horizontal surface was a shelf to his collection. Every vertical surface was wallpapered with his collection. In the center of the spacious room was a, what I can only guess since I don't have any sense of proportion for make believe things, life-sized pink pony. He moved it into the corner, facing into the center of the room when we entered and apologized. I couldn't help but chuckle. If anything, it was endearing and amusing. He clearly was very fond of this franchise (I've seen this level of extreme attachment to things like lolis or various anime and tv shows before in other friends' and acquaintances' residences. It doesn't really phase me anymore). So we get drinking and talking. He kept bringing the topic back to ponies. Over and over. He went pony riding last weekend. He regularly went to the local ranch to feed horses apples and take photos. He went over his top 10 favorite pony episodes in painfully explicit detail, even quoting them word for word (as far as I can tell without looking them up to check, it seemed convincing enough). Once he was good and hammered (it takes a bit more for me, but I was working on it), he began playing songs from the show (I think? He said some were remixes explicitly, but I couldn't tell the difference) and doing karaoke. Ok, I don't mind that. Drinking, listening to music I wouldn't normally be exposed to, having general fun. No big deal. He even wrote some lyrics out for me and I sung a few for kicks. Once I was out of beers and we started into a 40 of whiskey we'd gone in half on, things started getting a little more... intense. He showed me some fanfics and chats he had with people. It was clear to me there was a strong sexual component to these people's experience of the show. Again though, I didn't let my own discomfort make a problem, people are into whatever they're into, and clearly he felt comfortable and relaxed enough around me to open up. He eventually summoned enough courage to show me his own writing. It wasn't as polished as some he'd shown me, but what stood out to me was the detached manchild interpretation of sexual encounters and "romantic" involvement. Some of it ventured close to sadistic, but the characters would always forgive and even beg for more. This for me was something of a red flag. I knew a girl at the workplace he'd been low-key hitting on, and she'd been warming up to him. She also was into the whole pony thing, but she clearly had a much more mature attitude to things like dating. I was getting concerned he would try to live out his distorted fantasies on her. Maybe she could help him smarten up, and he'd be better for it, but then I shook it off and decided I should just mind my own fuarrrking business and stop trying to psychoanalyze him from his bad writing. Then, there was a rather dramatic change in the tone of the conversation. He started asking me questions. I'm not one to talk about myself much with new people, so I started off dodging some of the more personal ones politely. But you know what whiskey does. He got his foot in the door, and began to pry it open. We got to talking about everything from my family and kids to my sex life. He confessed he never had even dated a girl, kissed one, or anything. I was pretty confused and asked him how old he was. 27. Ok, not really the weirdest or most surprising thing in the world. I asked him why he didn't just go to a bar and meet some girls. He indicated that he didn't like women much. Ok, something of a red flag for me personally, since I'm not gay and I was worried that he might've misread the situation. I also began wondering why he had been hitting on the girl from work. I brought that up. He said, and I kid you not, I'll never forget these words, "I just need something warm to fuarrrk while I look at my ponies". I was flabbergasted. I think he saw the look on my face, likely disbelief combined with shock and maybe disgust. He smiled and said, "don't you just stick it in whoever and think of what you'd rather be doing?" The italics is his emphasis. Ok, so my opinion began to shift. I felt this was a little more than some innocent fan, or even somebody with a kink for cartoons. I read that as sociopathic behavior. However, I wondered how much I was maybe overthinking it and letting the alcohol cloud my judgement. Lots of men think about fuarrrking other people when they're with their partner, or so I've been led to believe. Or maybe I just was telling myself to soften the harsh reality I was being faced with. I've never gone to check, since I'm afraid I'll find out more than I bargained for. He laughed after a short bit of awkward silence, and pulled out his laptop, saying "let me show you some amazing pictures". Straight porn. Lots and lots of it. I don't think I've ever seen a cast of characters in so many compromising positions and situations before. fuarrrking each other, being fuarrrked by disembodied cocks, being fuarrrked by apparent humanoids. fuarrrked every way from Sunday. Next, he said there was some even better ones. These consisted of some serious BSDM. Violent, lots of what I can only guess were a mixture of pain and pleasured expressions, and some incredibly disturbingly intense scenes. He continued next with his own drawings, which in terms of quality, were some of the best artworks I've seen, very professional and passionately drawn. He must've been feeling pretty bold from my generally positive to neutral reactions. The first thing I noticed was he had self-inserted into each of those images. The usual flattery one would expect from an artist's self-representation was present, but that wasn't what gave me concern. The thing that gave me pause was the content of the scenes. Yes, it was, as one would expect, dominated by these various ponies. But what I didn't expect was the unsettling portrayal of encounters he clearly was fantasizing about. In each picture, without an exception in sight, there was generally an expression of pain on his partner's face (I'm no expert on reading facial expressions of cartoon animals, but it didn't seem terribly ambiguous to me), regular sights of blood, and frequent fecal and urine expulsion. Ok, kind of disgusting for me. However, that was just the first gallery. The second one had less bodily waste, but much much more blood. A few images were explicitly gory. In one, a sequence of frames like a comic showed the poor creature bludgeoned in the head with a blunt weapon and an eye becoming dislodged. This was followed by sexual intercourse in the eye socket. When I saw that image in particular, I slightly wretched. He looked at me, smiling, "it's ok, she's enjoying it. Nothing that a little magic couldn't fix". His smile was menacing to me. I felt incredibly disgusted. He put it away and said "I'll show you some more stuff later, it's much more tame". I settled down and told him I got a laugh out of shock images (I still did not wish to project my own ill feelings onto him, but it was becoming more and more difficult), but I had never gotten over my gag reflex. He acknowledged it, but didn't offer any apology. We continued drinking for another hour, discussing workplace politics mostly. During this time, he revealed some distasteful views on most of our female colleagues. Even the girl he had been hitting on was nothing more than some "cunt" to him for his use and pleasure. He didn't see her as much more than a piece of meat to fuarrrk, and I don't think he even regarded her that well. Most of the women in the workplace were bitches and whores, most were beneath him and most other men. There were a few openly gay men in the office, and he disparaged them worse than even the women. I'm not one to confront others about simply anti-social behaviors in private, since I don't think you're likely to change how people think. In public, you can change how they behave, but that's about it. Then he got to the out lesbians in the office... he said, "I think the best thing that could happen to a dike is if she got raped by a squad of men. Violently, viscous, with hatred and no protection". I know my face betrayed my inner thoughts, he frowned at me and said "what? If you use protection, they might not get to know the joy of motherhood". I excused myself immediately and said I needed to take a piss severely. I went to the bathroom, splashed cold water on my face for a few minutes. I looked in the mirror, and decided that this guy was fuarrrking with me. There's no way a guy who acts like him in public can be such a straight up psychopath. I took a long relieving piss and repeated a mantra of not judging or reacting. That's how I deal with uncomfortable situations, I just withhold judgement and conceal my discomfort. In most every situation I've ever been in where I've had to do this, I found out later I was right to do so. This one would be no different. I washed my hands and dried my face, then returned to his room. The laptop was out again. He was smiling and scrolling. I sat back down in my spot, and he turned it to me, telling me to check out a new gallery of pictures, indicating they were his own creations. More gore. This time, it was much much worse. There were missing limbs, knives and sharp implements in flesh, gashes in the skin. And all of it was deeply sexualized. Next gallery, even more heinous. (more)

>>22339 (continued) Genital mutilation (both males and females), similar bodily tortures. Next gallery, outright organs-exposed mutilation. Next gallery, all of the previous together at once. Next gallery, partial and complete decapitation. Always with his smiling, joyful self-insert, always scenes of extreme suffering, always with expressions of infernal pain and horror. When he finished showing off his carnival of horrors, he was smiling and had a drunk blush going on, "cool? I love it because it's so raw. Imagine being able to get to do that repeatedly?" He was loosened right up. He didn't mind saying what he thought. He seemed to mean what he said. I repeated my mantra, and then thought of people into extreme BSDM. Maybe that's just it, he's into the extreme imagery. Then, what happened next made me very, incredibly uncomfortable. He looked at me, without batting an eye or flinching, and said "I'm fuarrrking horny. You mind if I just take care of myself? Will only take a little bit". I was thinking, "jesus, he is feeling loose". I asked him if I should just go for a walk around the block. I wouldn't mind getting some fresh air and stretching my legs. He declined vigorously, "I realize it is a little gay, but you really should check this soykaf out". I pulled out a cigarette and thought, "Ok, so tonight I also get a peep show". I'm not really phased by gay activities, I just don't want to participate, so I told him to have at it and lit up (he'd previously told me it was ok and I had neglected my need all night). He smiled, and set up his laptop on the dresser, and opened some truly horrifying image that I won't describe in it's lurid detail. He then got the life sized pony out of the corner and set it up to face the laptop. What happened next made my eyes glaze over and roll back into my head. He dropped his drawers, lubed himself up, and proceeded to fuarrrk the giant pony. I didn't dare look to see the details, but I suspect he had implanted a toy into the rear of the doll for his pleasure. Creative, sure... but it made the whole situation feel that much more disturbing. He got into it and was grunting and heaving, the rear of the doll rising and falling as he undulated. I tried to look away, but I was just blown away by what I was witnessing. This completely immature man, having the time of his life, looking at the most disgusting and disturbing imagery I had ever seen, grunting and groaning like an animal, pleasuring himself without a care in the world in front of his company. The surreal moment dragged on into nearly an hour. He would start, go at it hard, then stop. Play with his uh... "partner" and then go at it again. Over and over. At some point, I think my mouth was just hanging open in pure shock. My eyes were narrow, trying to discern what I was seeing. I looked at his gaze, and it was fixated between the image on the laptop and his pleasure toy. I didn't mention earlier, but this massive pony appeared to be something of a giant plushie. If it was hand-made, it was done incredibly well. If it was commercial, lord have mercy on our souls, because I suspected this guy wasn't the only one innovating on their creation. It seemed to be reinforced internally, because it didn't collapse on its legs under its own weight (it looked very heavy), but otherwise I couldn't make much sense of it. After this went on for an uneasy near hour, he apparently finished and collapsed onto the miniature beast of burden's back, panting. After he collected himself, he zipped up and returned the uncomfortable piece of pleasure furniture into its corner. I believe I saw some of his essence dripping from the back onto the carpet. I was disturbed and disgusted and looked at the floor beneath my feet for any troubling spots or crusty spots. Fortunately, I didn't see any obviously, but by then my beer goggles were a three-image special. I didn't realize it at the time, but throughout his entire ritual, I had drank nearly a fifth of the whiskey bottle. I didn't feel nauseous, but I did feel sick. He sat down, smiling and proclaimed, "now that's fuarrrking good!" I looked at him, hoping my drunk expression was stronger than my utter disgust. It seemed to be, or he was so drunk himself he no longer could tell or care. We finished the bottle over the next hour, talking about politics, weather, anything I could think about that wasn't ponies, porn, or whatever other deranged topic he could corrupt with his disturbances. When the bottle was done, it was 4 A.M.. I was absolutely dead to the world, so I excused myself and took a cab home. I slept for the better part of the next 24 hours, and suffered for another 48. I tried to tell myself for the next few days the images in my head and the memories of the night were some twisted bad drug trip I had forgotten taken place. The next day I went to work, he was his usual bubbly self. He flirted with the girl, he played nice with the other colleagues, he showed no signs of the horrifying creature I had spent the night drinking with. The next day was similar. The following, the same. I began to tell myself that it had all been an incredible nightmare brought on by binge drinking or some drugs. There couldn't possibly exist the man I remembered in this reality. No possible way. One week passed, became two, became three. I declined to hang out with him when he asked on the fourth, because I was still low key unsettled. Then the fifth went by. On the Monday following the fifth week, I came to work and he was nowhere to be found. I had worked in the same cluster as him and his love interest, both were missing. I thought, becoming somewhat amused, maybe the little goof finally got his dick wet. The next day, their absence continued. Unusual, but maybe just a coincidence. Each day, nobody came until Friday. I went to my supervisor and asked him where they were. He talked to me in a sad uncomfortable tone, quietly and looking around for anyone who might overhear, "he raped her on Saturday night, tortured and murdered her. He spent the next three days mutilating her corpse and raping it. When the house owner came home, the smelled decay from his room and went to investigate. They found him in a bloody mess, sleeping soundly". My face must have been white. I must have had an expression of pure shock. I asked him if I could take the rest of the day off. He agreed. I went home and vomited for a half hour, then dry heaved for another. I went and checked the news, and sure enough there was a report of a rape/murder in the right neighborhood. I didn't have the gall to go there or call the house. I thought, maybe this creep put the manager and the girl up to this as a prank when he saw the news. He's fuarrrking with me big time. Nope. Neither of them came back to work. I went to the court hearings a few times, and heard enough of the details to know that it was all true. There was not much reporting on the whole situation since it wasn't the type of depravity that people want to read about. Just another pervert, just another sicko, just another murder. A few months later, I left the city. I haven't even gone back to visit. While I realize he likely couldn't have done that to me, I keep thinking of that smile. He told me what he was going to do, and from then on I learned to take people more at their word. I also will never be able to look at a pony, bronie, or that awful show ever again in the same way. Any innocence it might represent has been utterly destroyed for me.

>>22164 why is it different here ?

>>22339 >>22340 That's a pretty horrible story. I would never have sex with a plushie in front of someone. Until you got to the murder, I thought he was perhaps one of the Derpibooru staff. I also use the show as an escape, but I primarily use it to imagine being happy, since I largely don't have this in my life; that seems to be a pattern, that people who have happiness will imagine gruesome scenes, and people who have enough unhappiness in their lives imagine happiness instead. >I also will never be able to look at a pony, bronie, or that awful show ever again in the same way. Any innocence it might represent has been utterly destroyed for me. I'm not trying to lessen this, but plenty of sick people get attached to different things. I don't really care if anyone else likes it, but I'd be hardpressed to find a topic of interest that doesn't have a story like this associated with it. I use stories like this to remind myself that, no matter how often my life inserts evil thoughts into my mind, I don't act on them, and this is comforting. In this evil world, I'm going to hold on to what gives me even a little happiness until I'm dead.

>>22339 >>22340 This doesn't seem to be from some copypasta. No fuarrrking way. What? To protect my sanity, I'll just assume that you made this up, and that you're the star pupil in your creative writing course.

>>22364 Or when I think about it, "weirdest motherfucker in your creative writing course" seems way more fitting.

>>22162 This

>>22159 First time in a while now. Just scrolled through /g/ and realized why I don't even lurk there anymore. So Lain it is.

>>22364 I wouldn't dirty my home chan with a copypasta. You're welcome to interpret your reality how you choose. I am flattered you believe I have such an imagination, >>22365 even in this light. >>22362 That's good, because having sex with a plushie in front of someone seems to be an indicator you might be a psychopath.

>>22362 I've been thinking of this for the past bit since I've read it: >; that seems to be a pattern, that people who have happiness will imagine gruesome scenes, and people who have enough unhappiness in their lives imagine happiness instead. I have to humbly disagree. My life is not happy. I imagine many sad and gruesome things. I also imagine many happy things, and try to focus on those. There were periods of my life were I was happy, and the same thing happened in them as well. Really, unless I focus on my search for some smidgen of joy, then I am haunted by a persistent demon who relishes in my suffering. In the end, however, it seems most of it is self-inflicted. I hope you find some joy in your life though, especially given you've made me think about your words.

>>22339 >>22340 I've empathized with the guy a lot for some reason: >finally got a friend at work >obviously visits chans, a kindred spirit >invite him to hang out at my place >usually don't drink, get tipsy fast, share love of ponies >wow, he doesn't mind >obviously visits deep parts of the internet >show him gore and my darkest secrets >guy is still chill about it >best friends forever in just one evening >get blackout drunk together >memories get hazy, obviously done and said something stupid >shrug it off, too shy to ask what was real and what was a dream >proceed with my days as usual, but nothing is usual anymore, something changed >still too ask to shy what happened, try to invite them to hang out again >they refuse >even a channer refuses to talk to true me >realization sets in, these wasn't a nightmare, these drunken memories are real >the line is crossed, darkness has consumed me >Satan, take the wheel, I relinquish control of this mortal body and this lost soul...

>>22381 Not gonna lie, I laughed pretty hard at this post. A few misconceptions to clear up: >>they refuse He didn't ask me again. I didn't get a chance to ask him, although bluntly I would've asked him to my place to keep things more reasonable. >>even a channer refuses to talk to true me I don't put my online status on display, so they would think I'm just a normal person. >>realization sets in, these wasn't a nightmare, these drunken memories are real Is this how he lives every single night? Damn. >>the line is crossed, darkness has consumed me Listen bro, I'll fuarrrk you or let you fuarrrk me, so long as it keeps people from being murdered. We keep it to ourselves, we try to have a good time, nobody gets hurt. ok? >>Satan, take the wheel, I relinquish control of this mortal body and this lost soul... I'll fuarrrk you in the ass for life if it makes you put even a finger on that wheel...

>>22339 >>22340 pretty fuarrrking amazing story, true or not. I used to live with a guy who very well could have been a psycho. He was always polite and of course never showed me porn, but it was pretty clear that the friendly demeanor he had most of the time was nothing more than a mask. I had to talk to the neighbors because he was threatening towards them, and I learned later that he got into a big fistfight with his next flatmate.

>>22384 Original writer her (no, I don't sleep). That's fuarrrking wild. It doesn't surprise me that the worst show up in the best of ways when we look at them. That was this guy! A fistfight is not a big thing, but the fact you had to go looking, sus af.

>>22385 Hey "original writer". Did this actually happen?

>>22386 Yes. No, I cannot prove it without doxxing myself to some extent, which I am unwilling to do. However, I will say without irony or malice that this is true. If you research crime through court documents during [time unspecified] in [location unspecified], you will come across this very incident. Please don't reveal me.

>>22387 I think I found it, interestingly. The perp claimed that it was in "self defense" initially, and then went on to claim that he had "lost sense of time and space"? His words from the record.

>>22388 Sounds right, but I won't confirm nor deny. Isn't self defense funny given the absolute mental amount of overkill?

>>22339 >>22387 Idk dude, the fact that you started this with >All this talk of ponies reminds me of a hilarious... or something I consider hilarious encounter. makes it seem like you wanted to make up a story that you initially intended to be funny and in the middle you decided to make it completely fuarrrked up. Looks like an artistic work of falsehood and fiction to me.

>>22339 >>22340 man this is some soikafeine, it seems specific enough that i might believe it, but still part of it seems unreal. i do not tend to think of people like this man since every interest has some people that take it too far. uh props to you for not sticking iron in your mouth and ending it after that miserable experience. it makes me seem like a normal human (which i sorta am? arguably) whilst i understand busting a nut to some fictional things is "satisfying" the people who want to make the things real are kinda disturbing. still tho the majority are decent people and as a community it seems impressive. ive not had the show itself stick with me, tho i do not hate it. i did enjoy watching it with my young sister a few years ago, its better than the current stuff kids are exposed to. tho to be honest i did enjoy the movie of the show that was in cinemas.

>>22339 >balls-deep in ponies, literally Do you have any idea what the fuarrrk you're saying?

>>22390 Part misdirection, part me having a twisted sense of humor. You're welcome to believe whatever helps you sleep tonight. >>22392 >uh props to you for not sticking iron in your mouth and ending it after that miserable experience. I don't see what good that would've accomplished for me. >>22393 Yes, hence why I said it.

>>22395 spared you the nightmares probably

>>22396 I sleep ok even knowing what went down and what I saw.

test post from netsurf

>>22205 >Only visit 4chan archive sites, and only page10 or older. Pretty sure it's only a few minutes total in a week. For what purpose?

I only come here on my touch 1g cause 4chans captcha doesn't work on here

>>22339 >>22340 This is truly an epic story, Alan. I read the post over the course of an hour long workout at the gym, during my breaks between chest exercises. I was hooked in the beginning, and twenty minutes later I was laughing out loud to the detriment of my extremely hot girlfriend's usual cardio routine. It hurts to laugh now because I am quite sore from working so hard on my square man-tit physique. Toward the end though I must admit I was disturbed. I wonder about the circumstances which lead a man such as yourself to spending this sort of quality time with an apparently retarded person. Perhaps colleague comradery is undervalued in such a society which assigns so much value to personal space and individual freedom. As I sip on my unflavored protein shake consisting of egg whites and chicken broth, I realize I have much to learn about the high functioning autist.

>>22340 >>22339 Holy fuarrrk

>>22159 Go back home

>>22159 I usually recall this place every couple of months and then visit daily for around a week before getting bored.

>>22170 >People who never go out into the world have nothing to say, so their posts will be meaningless and bad This was unknowingly my intuitive distinction between good and bad posts in my lifetime of being on imageboards. I would rather see something interesting which is incorrect from someone with many experiences than a boring surface-level correct take from a boring person. I hope kalyx is doing well and would love to hear from him. Anyone know what he's up to nowadays?

>>22170 "I went to a third world country and saw poor people, wow really made me think about stuff" is entirely banal. Deep thoughts require thinking, not just going out and looking at stuff (that countless people before you have already seen and documented).

>>22439 >, Alan Don't dox me, Jim. >I wonder about the circumstances which lead a man such as yourself to spending this sort of quality time with an apparently retarded person. Original writer here. Maybe you're wrong thinking about who the retarded person was? >As I sip on my unflavored protein shake consisting of egg whites and chicken broth, I realize I have much to learn about the high functioning autist. I giggled at the massive flex this post is. I cannot claim to be an autist, unless you mean in the purely internet sense, in which case I'm guilty as charged.

>>22159 I was permaderezzed from 4chan 4 times and couldn't be happier for it, that place was nothing but an extension of twitter for low iq underages to bait each other all day long in lieu of expressing any sincere ideas. Meaningful posts were either ignored or openly mocked for not being 1 or 2 word reddit catchphrases designed to make people mad and it was basically a game to see who could put in the least effort while generating the greatest negative reaction. I'm not going to pretend that I'm some ancient user of the website but I can't help but long for a time when it wasn't just "le brewing soykaf wojak forum xP" if that ever was the case.

>>22429 >context Assuming they were expecting to read on threads that had been locked and seemingly that they no longer have backlog. That's pretty hardcore of lainon. >>22159 How do you feel about posting pepe and wojaks when it's absolutely a scuffed meme being used by normal people and qultists? If you want to be lainon, you better delete your pepe folder.

>>22159 soykaf fuarrrk derezzed is like kicking dead whales down the beach Present Day, Present Time! AHAHAHAHAHA! here's your tour, lainon. now have a good time.

>>22490 >Maybe you're wrong thinking about who the retarded person was? >I cannot claim to be an autist Which type of retarded are you?

>>22508 The kind that makes you ask questions and keep guessing.

>>22159 I came here also from 4chan, was sick of /g/ getting worse and worse

>>22510 Down's syndrome?

>>22557 /g/ is extremely low quality, much like the rest of 4chan. Kids with absolutely no relevant experience or knowledge of a subject at all will give out nonsensical answers to questions just because it's fun to pretend to be the kind of person who knows enough about things have answers. It's generally detrimental to read any of the boards there if you're not just trying to have a laugh.

>>22568 /g/ is now nothing but a place for wage slave/bait threads commonly made against freetards

>>22159 this is my first time here uwu

>>22178 Who is this?

>>22340 >>22339 This is kind of story i miss reading in 4chan.

>>23465 Look at the average poster on halfchan and think again. Would they really fit here? No.

>>22159 Bros I think my entire city of 80,000+ people is now rangederezzed from 4chan because of me.

>>22159 >I stopped using 4chan. Good, 4chan is a botnet and the quality is bad. >But this site is very slow. It's the quality that matters, not quantity. Honestly, do you want to spend all your time reading over 9000 posts that are awful before finding that 1 post that's actually interesting? >Do you guys come here often?

>>22159 lold hi from putin country

At the rate that things are going, I am concerned for lainchan's health as well...

>>22339 Nice story. Doubt it's real though. Didn't disgust me too much since this kind of degenerate behavoir is rampant in today's world. 8/10 for effort. >>23678 ^^This post is really important. Read your SICP and stop browsing low quality honeypot boards with botnet. >>23707 What do you mean?

>>22262 were non-cloppers like me in the majority? I always thought so but after reading this thread I'm not so sure. Maybe I should be more secretive about my past lol. I mostly browsed eqd then and avoided 4chan so my perspective might be a little skewed.

>>23826 >were non-cloppers like me in the majority? I like pony porn, so I don't know what you mean. >Maybe I should be more secretive about my past lol. It's an imageboard. >I mostly browsed eqd then and avoided 4chan so my perspective might be a little skewed. I never really used EqD. It's pretty weird how I never noticed much pony discussion on Lainchan until I decided to start posting about it.

>>22557 I also quit 4chan for the same reason, and didn't regret it. This place is comfy

>>22159 What are some chans other than lainchan that are comfy and won't get me derezzed for talking about CIA trying to kill me?

>>23942 anyone?

>>23942 analog city

>>23977 difficult to find companions for this.

>>22159 It's so slow here, so adjust your expectations accordingly. Instead of expecting a reply or new post on the same day, check back in a week instead.

>>22339 >>22340 95% sure this is fake. If so, nice story. If it's not though, why the hell would you watch someone fuarrrk a plushie? Pretty weird. If I were you I would have come up with some excuse after he started showing me porn and left.

Same here. Was fed up with 4 chan's quality downward spiral. Some anon on /r9k/ mentioned lainchan so I hopped on. Mostly lurking but this place is cozy Quite different from 4 chan but it makes it much better imo.

Does anyone know what happened to einchan? Or am I just misremembering the url.

>>22159 i post on boards a lot slower than this, this is fine. content is regular and of good quality, so i'm satisfied.

slow? i actually browser lainchan way more rapidly than 4chan which is too bloated

>>24819 I think by "slow" OP referred by the pph. On 4 chan, users interact very quickly (as the pruned of some posts). Here vusers interacts more slowly (but with more quality tho). To op: depending on which borad you frequented on 4chan, lainchan could be very disappointing. Don't excpect to find /btardism or /poltardism here. And remember: no fun allowed on lainchan ;-)

>>24820 >no /btardism or /poltardism Slowly seems to be creeping in. We really need to do something as a community to keep these people out.

>>25037 This is way too ambiguous. I could think I agree with you while you're actually describing getting rid of me.

>>22161 >>>22159 (OP) Out of all the possible places you could pick, why lainchan? Not OP, but lainchan was one of the built in chans in my mobile chan browser.

Every few months. I just sorta dunk my face in here when I'm too accustomed to my filter bubble.

>>25038 There seem to be a lot of people who are suddenly very focused on very American issues. While I've never been under the illusion that lainons typically lean to the left side of the political spectrum, people seem suddenly far more worried about signalling that they're on their personal "right side" of the culture war instead of thinking about things. I hesitate to name an example due to the fact that it'd likely raise the hackles of some lurker, and in turn, derail the thread.

>>25044 because the us cultural war invades other countries through all popular media as well as internet sites being us born. If it were contained to us nobody would care. But now our local fools get influenced and riot in our streets over what happens in us. Honestly i lowkey started to envy chinas firewall. If i were dictator i would cut the country off all us media.

>>25044 I agree. I gave up on this world when I finally accepted that my thinking is not that much different than the "elite", the main malcontent is in how they use what they've created. People are too retarded to deal with otherwise and I've had a lifetime to get tired of that as well, I can't waste my time trying to manage people inside and out like they're children.

>>25038 It's simple. You left 4chan for reasons, don't bring those reasons with you. Don't treat this place as if it were 4chan.

>>25047 When I came back to lainchan I felt like posters were trying to gaslight me into insanity. It was pretty weird, but yeah, I get the gist of what you're saying and agree with it.

I don't like Lainchan (nothing about the community, it's just too /g/ focused) but 4chan's boards are too much to endure. Is there an image board focused on /tg/, fantasy art, things like that, that is not overrun with porn and politics? Every now and then I ask, maybe a good soul can point me to a better place.

>>25049 There used to be an imageboard called "artchan" but it was quite slow, not sure if it's still around anymore.

>>25051 I think I should just give up. I have to accept that I don't like the internet anymore. I can't believe it was so much more diverse and interesting when people online were in the order of thousands. Now that there are billions on it, no matter where you go it's all the same, it feels like connecting to a hive mind. And everyone's spreading the most awful things instead of trying to bring something decent and new to the table. Every alternative place is filled with /g/ people and I think I don't like the average /g/ person. I don't even like anime, so that cuts me off of 90% of internet culture.

>>25053 the problem is most likely you already gave up. How many hours did you spend searching for new sites? Probably close to none. And especially in comparison to browsing your habitual sites. Pure hobbyist sites still exist. You also dont need it in chan form, forums do a better job.

>>25055 >How many hours did you spend searching for new sites? Probably close to none. I've visited and registered to every site that I could find relative to my interests on the clearnet, and endured some of the worse communities and spyware. I know there's a *me* component in this, but fuarrrk's sake it's literally all the same and it makes me nauseous when I join a place that looks niche and I'm instantly submerged in the same discourse as Twitter/Reddit/4chan etc. I'm not going to force myself to "fit in" with literal children. Sadly there's nothing I can do except pretend I am interested in things I am not, like technology and programming.

>>25056 It might be an anglosphere problem. Ive been using a bunch of old small sites in german that are completely free of social media influence. Just people sharing their hobby without anything off topic. So if you speak more than english i would try using the alternative languages.

>>25057 My own country is really sad culturally, so I'm stuck with English communities. If it were not a complete leap in the dark I'd learn a new language just for that, but I'll be honest I think it's just global Internet culture that has gone bad.

>>25058 Something has to exist. You got millions of people in a country, small hobby site is just ~20-30 people coming together. Should be statistically less likely that nothing exists.

>>25059 Posted to fast. I think because its soo niche the real problem is as initially said finding them. These small sites all suffer also from low traffic because they all have difficulty maintaining enough active members. And they cant advertise on the public for the obvious reason that it would taint the site with the exact people you want to avoid.

>>25059 IDK I find it hard to believe as well. It used to be different a long time ago, I feel like people don't have a personal voice anymore and just repeat the same pop culture soykaf and social media takes over and over. I clearly remember conversations I've had online that would never happen today.

eh i just hang around here because 1) i like lain/cyberpunk in general 2) lainchan has less schizos whose entire sense of humor is the funny negro word like christ edgy racism is funny the first 15 times but then it gets stale quick

>>22340 It would appear there is a chance that the equine molestation enthusiasts are becoming violent

>>25569 that guy looks like if a guy i went to school with did crack luckily i live in the UK and still talk to the guy so it cant be him

>>25569 I thought that the halfchanners and fullchanners were meming this and it was completely made up. Was it true that this guy was actually a brony? I'm just too exhausted from life to do research right now someone spoon feed me pls

>>22159 >I stopped using 4chan. I now use lainchan. fuarrrk you. Go back.

>>22159 Fuarrrkking hell, thank god lainchan has posts that stay up for a long time, Im going to read this and think. I'll reflect if I have to cut out 4chan from my life. I only go there for /a/, /g/, /diy/ and /r9k/ honestly. Im not a toxic LARPER also.

>>22259 I think this is me. I'll try to lessen my 4chan use. The site is getting cancerous..

>>26456 Getting cancerous? 4chan has been cancerous for a very long time now. (Not sure why I saved this pic, but it's definitely apt.)

>>26456 >The site is getting cancerous.. What is this? 2012?

>>26459 >What is this? 2012? no its 2007

Now 4chan doesn't work without JS. R.I.P

>>25056 Have you tried the webring? It's pretty vast and has lots of different boards United under one roof. I frequent one of them, anon.cafe for it's /comfy/ board. Just a suggestion. Best of luck, chummer.

>>22557 >was sick of /g/ getting worse and worse "Well, /g/?"

>>27044 Since I still use /mlp/, I just keep it disabled until I post, and I think using NoScript to restrict what gets allowed in that short window is decent enough. It's unfortunate, but there's not a better place than /mlp/ for discussing ponies anonymously. Another imageboard I use was recently put behind Cloudflare, so I can't even access it from an older web browser. Lainchan is still the queen in this respect. I don't even need to enable JS to upload three images.

>>22159 soykaf fuarrrk ass cum nigger glitterboy bitch spic nigga fuarrrker motherfucker soykafty kek slut user tranny troon chink sandnigger

>>29915 > but there's not a better place than /mlp/ for discussing ponies anonymously. Are there any other places for discussing ponies even? The plounge is the closest I could think of but I'm not a fan of narwhal bacon.

>>29927 There's No Hooves, No Business: https://nhnb.org It started out behind Cloudflare, for no good reason.

>>22177 >and plainly stupid arguments people keep having. I'm guilty of this. I'm the reason why this site now is like kicking dead whales down the beach and I know it.

>>23678 huge lainchan fan and never got into coding but I do like pretending I am smart by reading philosophy, this book seems like a great place to start for a guy like me

I'm not one to be superstitious, but I posted in one of those "get repeating digits and leave 4chan for x time." I got quads, and the OP indicated it meant that I was to leave forever. I had been around lainchan for a while, mostly lurking. In retrospect, I think I was looking for a reason to leave anyway. I'm a lot healthier than I was. Why do we so eagerly drink the poison? "I like the way this is like kicking dead whales down the beach" etc

I use the site every once in a while to check on the webring thread. I stopped using 4chan because it got boring, nothing really of interest gets posted anymore.

Its okay if people come here from other parts of the internet but they need to know Lain has a separate culture. Tech security, anonymity, hacker ethos, hyper-modern interests. Users tend to be intelligent and somewhat isolated but dont take their frustrations out on each other. Shit posts and even jokes arnt really what this place is about. High tech, low life sums it up.

>>30257 >Users tend to be intelligent and somewhat isolated but dont take their frustrations out on each other. I had a really great laugh reading this. You are being sarcastic right? Is that one poster still around who used to tell everyone who planned any creative project outside of the internet that they need to retire their dreams and get a real job or they will be poor by the time they are 30 and won't be able to afford a truck? Remember him? He actually said that about buying a truck too.

Followed the thread until it started devolving too deeply into horsefuckery. Also a (hopefully former) fourchanner. But I deeply understand the value of slower boards. I was a /vmg/ regular for quite some time (back when my phone was too weak for most games, now that I can run those games, I find myself playing Simon Tatham's Puzzles and PySolFC over and over again). There's also a value in fast board: I'd rather ask /g/ than try the slower IRC channel. Introductions done, I lurked here a few times in the past, but I still feel off about the culture. Fuarkk and other lingo, I fear I may stick out like a sore thumb if I try interacting more than lurking. Besides no-frogs and lurk moar, any other tips for newcomers on this cultural aspect?

>>22162 Then post moar!!!

This is my first post on lainchan. My ban on 4chan expires in 10 days or so and I need somewhere to talk. Also I hate that god awful website. This place seems comfy.

>>30377 welcome newfriend, please enjoy your stay

>>30377 Sorry... em... too late Now this place is turning to be another branch of 4chan cancer.

>>30377 its my first time too ^^

>>30379 There is a lot of people who want to turn this into another 4ch.

>>30381 what makes this place different than 4chan?

>>30382 different users, different admins, different colourscheme. People here like to think ofthemselves as cyberpunks. Or, well, some of them do anyway. That's what I hear. Also weebs. Some are also very proud of the culture, whatever that means. Never understood that myself and I've been here off and on since 2014 or something. So welcome, new users, enjoy the party.

>>30382 The general culture, and anti/b/p0l. Also wanting to focus more on tech than a handful of desk/prog generals. /hum/ while isnt great its far from being as bad as other political forums. more discussion than lol funny nword joke.

>>30383 how is the culture different? Are people nicer here

>>30385 >how is the culture different? Don't be stupid, don't write terrible posts/threads and think before posting. Also, watch Serial Experiments Lain.

>>30382 It's the slow speed, small size, and heavy moderation. For example, irrelevant images, including anime, aren't allowed in the programming or security boards. So, whereas /g/ has idiots discussing programming socks and anime, there are many real programming discussions in /λ/.

Welcome, fellow refugee. Lots of lurkers here. I was big into /g/ before it started going downhill. This place fits alright, from a tech perspective.

>>30396 I, too, rarely post. Having to wait days to maybe get a reply really kills my motivation to bother typing anything out. But i guess i should post more, since otherwise i'm just part of the problem. It kinda is like kicking dead whales down the beach, but it is what it is.

I come here once in a while and lurk in /prog/, but I almost never post.

>>22159 I'm not here. You don't see this. Don't you feel that.

>>22159 I Lurk every day for a few minutes. It may be slow but it also has quality post usually, at least less toxic than 99% of other imageboards (but i only visit λ / Δ / sec / Ω so i might be a bit wrong ) >>22175 >Daily. It's a comfy place. Indeed, comfiest imageboard >>22167 >4chan still has some ok boards imagine navigating a sea of soykaf to find a few drops of clean water >>22170 >kalyx had this saying about how it should work: you go out into the world, you see and do soykaf, and when that's done, you have something to post about on lainchan (if it's relevant). I didn't knew Kalyx said that; It sounds cool and it's pretty accurate even nowadays when this place is owned by someone else. /Δ/ has some great threads, which makes sense given how people there are probably the ones that get up their desktop chair the most. >>22174 >please avoid frogposting though yeah, please, those frogs don't belong here, avoid using them. >>22177 >It's been getting kind of awful sifting through all the political, pedo, and plainly stupid arguments people keep having. 4chan users, amirite

i come here every few days on average, sometimes lurk for longer periods when im bored. mostly the webring thread on the tech board do always wish there'd be more new threads each time, but i like the people here and im not sure more users would be entirely good either

hello fellow rapefugee This kalyx quote is something I can get behind, we aren't supposed to live on the chan. Take /out/ for example, one of the slowest boards on 4chan but one of the least awful, because the hobby requires you to be somewhat physically capable and inclined to leave the house, which the rest of 4chan mostly is not. Seeing years old threads on here is kind of a culture shock, but it keeps me from constantly looking at the site. However the average quality of the posts here vs 4chan is enough to make me want to stay.

what does soykaf mean i'll lurk after this just please answer my one question

>>30511 >soykaf we have a couple wordswaps that automatically adjust posts. SH*T -> soykaf fvck -> fuarrrk fvggot -> glitterboy svcks -> is like kicking dead whales down the beach n*rmie -> normal person fvg -> user its a bit confusing. I might have missed one or a couple.

>>30513 good to know this is a family friendly site :] no bad words like soykaf or nigger here now i lurk

>>30385 In my (limited) experience, people are much nicer here.

>>30392 Reading /λ/ gives me massive imposter syndrome, I find it beyond impossible to post there with my soykafty self learnt scripting knowledge, lol. Always makes me die on the inside :')

I've been here for a few years now, it's a shame how much faster the site has gotten to be honest. Every day you'd get a small handful of high quality posts, now you have to sieve through a lot of lower quality stuff to get there. It's not that bad but it's too much like other technology sites now.

>>22159 I'm also a new user here. I got tired of 4chan a few years ago (but could never really quit it for long, sadly) If someone wants to find an alt-chan that is active, they should probably check out this page https://getwatcher.net/ as it shows the pph and gets of various imageboards. I myself have mainly been browsing 22chan, now defunct (but it's coming back soon hopefully). Its gimmick was that it derezzed nsfw and "normal user" stuff in the rules, and had a focus on elaboration and high quality posts. Of course it was also very slow, so we made many of the same arguments you see itt. I personally found the best part of slowness to be that your posts matter more, they have more impact. It makes you feel more like part of the community, rather than a drop of water in an ocean of piss. Though I have also felt quite depressed after getting no replies in threads that then slowly died in the catalog, over years... Also, less people means you get less variety of people and content. For example, most musicians don't browse imageboards. The few that do mostly browse 4chan. So how many musicians are here? By comparison, on 4chan /mu/, [s4s] as well as /g/ are all able to make community albums; I haven't checked other boards. /mu/ can probably make a dozen a year alone; on 22chan it took us a year to make just one. This idea applies to all things; sadly it is more likely for a person working in tech to be on 4chan rather than here, so 4chan is the place where you will find more interesting things related to tech. It's kind of like comparing big cities to small towns. And that's why I still come back to 4chan, and I still find that one song on /mu/ that I would've never found anywhere else

can't remember the last time i came here , must have been like 7 or 8 years, i used to hang out in irc, i probably left because there was nothing to say, i have nothing meaningful to contribute, our backgrounds and context differ at such extreme that interaction becomes not only impossible but unbearable, this I realized while browsing 4chna, now i'll lurk and my only purpose is to consume all relevant information, everything else comes to me as a painful waste of time. how ironic.

>>31971 I for one am a musician and i know many here are too. I believe the tendency to consume content passively (in this case lurking) is what makes threads move slower or die.

>>33044 >sepan cuantos Based

>>22159 >Do you guys come here often? Every once in a while. Call me ADD but this site's a bit too slow for regular-ass browsing but it's nice to lurk on and chill and see if anyone responded to my posts. It's definitely a breath of fresh air from the hell that is modern 4chan.

>>22159 I use lainchan every few days or so. I don't think its slow at all, it's just that big social media platforms and 4chan are overrun with so many people it makes every other site seem slow in comparison. I pretty much quit 4chan too. That site is too fast, its overrun with edgy 12 year olds, bots or glowies and there's way too much dumb pseduo-politics infecting every goddamn board. Still lurk on /a and a few other niche boards there but mostly avoid the place.

>>22170 >People who never go out into the world have nothing to say, so their posts will be meaningless and bad. Then explain why normal people make the worst takes at social media

>>33456 >explain why normal people make the worst takes at social media First of posters on social media are NOT normal people. Its like looking at the loudest class clowns in school and using them to gauge the classes. Like twitter is 5% of population of which 1/5 write 8/10 messages. How can that represent anyone? And since these platforms all have features to ban dissenters they end up in reinforcement loops that radicalize posters.

>First of posters on social media are NOT normal people. Yes, they are. Just check the stuff that normal people and b**mers post all the time at Facebook and TikTok. Even relatives of mine that never used internet before smartphones and social media era, now they post cringe stuff all the time or they generally share EVERY personal aspect of their personal lives with everyone.

>>33478 "i know them irl" doesn't make them normal... this is simply a tautology - As the behavior is only exhibited by a minority its abnormal behavior by definition of what "normal" means.

>>22170 >People who never go out into the world have nothing to say, so their posts will be meaningless and bad. Total nonsense. On the contrary, the more normal person someone is, the more bland and uninteresting their opinions are. It takes one glance at your typical social media site to confirm this.

>>33831 > the more normal person someone is, the more bland and uninteresting their opinions are not wrong. Your mistake is conflating 'going out into the world' and normalcy.

I just recently gave up 4chan completely myself. I only posted on a few boards and each passing year since around 2015 I've just felt more and more isolated there. I can't relate to other anons at all. Sadly the same can be said for channels throughout the Rizon network on IRC. I'm glad that I gravitated towards alternatives such as here and libera.chat.

I only use /lit/ since you can get some good recommendations there without the horrible bait or straight up sexual psyop posting. Well of course there are still low tier posts but its nowhere near as bad as something like /g/ or /v/ and you can still find intelligent people with reasoned opinions which most boards lack completely. It's also slower than some of the other boards so thats nice too. Why is lainchan telling me to make a better post?

>>33831 Not quite. Prolonged isolation and separation from persistent identity and connections frees your mind from illusion and social stupidity, however too long and too much, or coupled with certain traumatic and degenerative process, you become blind. So your type of awareness is deeper and more fundamental than theirs, but you're no longer a superset of them, you're just different.

>>22159 Wow, a thread from 2020 lol. Well if OP is still here, I actually started coming here because it's slower. 4chan and Discord moving so fast meant I spent way too much time there and never got a chance to get other things done. With Lainchan (at least so far) the slower speed allows me to come here a few times a day without being glued to it like I was with 4chan and Discord. Kind of like a less is more type deal. I can get things done and still chat with anons throughout the day.

>>33991 I think this is one of the reasons why altchans really started to take off in general. More and more people leave 4chan everyday being replaced by more bots and newer curious minds that has no idea what imageboard culture is all about. Maybe some of them have genuine reasons to escape social media and that's their first pitstop. Or they just want to soykafpost without repercussions.

>>22159 >But this site is very slow. All altchans are slow. It's a niche within a niche. That's just the price you pay for quality discussion honestly. >Do you guys come here often? Once in a while, whenever I'm bored, or the cancer on 4chan gets worse than usual, or whenever I get derezzed. It's a good excuse to take a literal vacation.

>>33991 +1 I totally agree

Basically daily. Userbase is less retarded than most other websites. The tech discussions on /g/ sometimes are truly atrocious

>>34466 Definitely. I stopped using for a few days and suddenly I'm more productive, but again I've lapsed back into it again. Really need to discipline myself. One of the reasons I go back there is there are some unique boards you don't get on other active chans like /an or /po and /diy. But the cancerous political culture and low quality posting is really fuarrrking draining. If I had alternatives I wouldn't go to that soykafhole.

>>34729 Shut the fuarrrk up. There's nothing cancerous about the culture when they're right

I just recently started posting here

>>22170 Who is kalyx? I'm still a newbie to this imageboard.

>>34918 the tl:dr >previous site owner >appleman took over lainchan >kalyx still had server creds >deleted lainchan for the luls >backups on the same server >lainchan had a split >admins started alternate lainchan >better web design >users were super toxic towards admins >admins said fuarrrk it and took down the alternate site >this is the original and only lainchan now >rule 6 exists, some lains still mad

>>34918 A big black homosexual that used and abused lainchan and its users for some free cash, and then when he got bored with bullying others and ego tripping and insider trading he sold it for some quick buck. He created a cult of personality around him through his grandiosity and superficial "wacky" charm but behind that persona there was nothing but a power hungry dweeb that wanted money. Website would usually be held hostage due to "bills needing being paid" that eventually people just didn't take it seriously. When he was on his way out and were to give Appleman everything up he then got angry over some miniature missunderstanding and proceeded to delete everything in order to slam his door, even after money being transferred.

>>22159 >flood detected >flood detected >flood detected >flood detected >flood detected This place is doomed.

>>34931 It's a one-liner to fix in post.php but I doubt he wants to do it because then STI's mystery filter wouldn't function at all and the obscurity of it does make it harder for bots to post. Without the spam filter all you'd have to do is curl post.php to spam lainchan, which would be soykafty to deal with

No longer will I use 4chan A website that is a wasted wasteland I'd much rather join my friends here on Lain Where knowledge and information falls like rain No cloudflare or low IQ posting trends Just learning more about tech in the bends Always checking in while connected to the wired While 4chan just leaves one feeling really tired Nobody wants the poopy posting with a bad taste We just want to have a keyboard typing race So join me and join all to stay for a while Never get back on 4chan which is a board so vile

Right now, yes, 4chan is a hypocrisy. They tell you it's true internet but it's full of rules and favoritism just like most of the internet today and 2chan is no better.

>>34948 >Right now, yes, 4chan is a hypocrisy. Can you elaborate?

>>34948 All communities, good and bad, have their unwritten rules, their own little culture of what's acceptable and what's not, and that's what keeps a community together. If your looking for a place without rules and biases, you won't find one because that's not community that's just shallow individualism. People have this perception of 4chan is this lawless place from the early days of the internet, something it never was. Chan sites are like rundown bars in soykafty ghettos, they have a "crowd" and their own local atmosphere, some are more friendly to outsiders and some aren't, some are comfy nice places and some are like the bar scene from Star Wars. They have their own unwritten rules, you don't like it? Leave! There is no true internet, the original internet was a network for a government weapons development agency, that's the furthest thing from 4chan you could imagine. Point I'm making is, don't go looking for a "true internet" or a lawless ruleless place, look for somewhere that suits you, that has a culture and set of rules you enjoy, and if you can't find it make it!

>>34990 I really can't my whole statement is in thouse two sentences.

I just came here for the semi first time from there looking for a new home and saw this thread as the top thread. There's a lot of people boycotting posting today on there today. Felt kind of homey already seeing so many anons thinking the same thing.. then half way through the thread I realized it's years old. Not good lol

4chan is so ass i cant imagine anyone serious about non-brainrotted discussion wouldn't laugh at it after a few seconds of use. so btw about the guy when he said rules and favoritism, i mean like you can just replace that with braindead discussion (meaningless and vapid statements/words that are taken seriously and believed, that style of discussion) and it works

I come almost every day. There's always something new and cool to learn.

i stopped using 4chan due to the captcha thing it drove me INSANE. and the porn got annoying

>>39645 This makes it a little easier https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-jkcs/

I used to use 4chan and other imageboards off and on from 2007-2015. What was once an edgy funny site I first enjoyed as a dumbass teenager turned into a toxic self-loathing soykafhole where people were contrarians with soykaf opinions to mask their insecurities. It was just another social media trap of it's own design. Every now and then I come back here because there's just something here that I can't find on other socmed platforms. It's not as toxic here as 4chan, and you all talk about stuff I actually find interesting.

guys what's soykaf? i'm new to imageboards

>>41913 its like coffee but soy

>>41913 It's a coffee substitute (presumably) made from soybeans, from the Shadowrun games, and generally used as a eupehmism for sh1t(posting) here. Oh, and it's the output of a language enhancer, which is why I did the 1337 in the last sentence.

>>39678 Same. Got on 4chan thru the 2016 rabbit hole (yes, new user) and stopped at the /pol doormat. Place was half-decent at the time, but still 35% utter nonsense overall. Got on /X, and enjoyed that place also. I know you point to 2016 already being the point of no return, but I was still around and still found the place usable until roughly 2018-19. That's when it really hit the fan and became pure, unadulterated bullshit. /Lit is still usable, thankfully. Same as you, I like that there's actual discussion here. Folks actually do talk, and it's often high quality. Seriously, I have not seen a flamewar/spat last longer than 3 posts. >>39614 Also come here every day. Pic related >>37878 Also showed up and had the same reaction. Don't even remember how I found the site, but I was in and the culture seemed... authentic. Like it's an imageboard with cool vibes that ppl *actually* use.?

Yes but the mods allow no fun and the site is humorless. It's probably just the culture, judging by the drugs board. A bunch of addied-out millennials on antidepressants so they seem kinda soulless. Of course there's also the flood detection and post length requirements which are easily bypassable if you have an IQ above 90(USER WAS WARNED FOR THIS POST, Do not whine and cry about 8chan, lainchan.jp, "quality", "invasions", "newfags", mods, bans, or kalyx outside of /q/. We allow pleny of fun and humour. )

>>41921 >We allow plenty of fun and humour This community is really wonderful and better than imageboards like tvch.moe and 4chan; people there are really nice (and helpful for tech wizards). >>41921 I agree on this, it's much better than any imageboard that may wallow in arguing, and is similar to real-life society. I don't know any other imageboards that would be as top-notch as this one.

>>41935 You guys do an excellent job of running the place and I agree that it's better than most other alt-chans, but I think you do create kind of a paranoid environment with all the 'elaborate more' warnings, minimum post length requirements and annoying flood detection, and I think it drives a lot of people away ("good", you'll say). The other problem is that you seem to delete threads you don't like. Correct me if I'm wrong, maybe the OP deleted it themself, but there was recently a thread where someone posted a YT video of a guy sneaking into Bohemian Grove, and yeah, some of the replies were conspiracy-bro bullshit, but the video itself was interesting, and I think that was really a party foul move on your part to delete it for no reason, on the random board no less. There are also other things. I know you don't want to turn this into a bitter, resentful, racist soykafhole like a lot of the other chans, but stifling user engagement can be a bad thing as well. It's also partly the userbase's fault. Any time I put effort into making threads on nuanced topics I find interesting, they die, while /hum/ and /r/ threads about inane (IMO) topics get way more traffic, and the minimum post length requirement really encourages people to let their schizo flags fly in said threads, writing huge walls of text that say nothing

>>41941 >The other problem is that you seem to delete threads you don't like. agreed i also have an example to give: the teathreads they always get deleted for no good reason even tho they are more compelling to read that a good 60% of the schizoposts here

>>41942 I didn't even know there were teathreads. You mean like different types of tea? Sounds comfy, I wonder what problem they could have with that. Maybe the OP just deleted it, for schizo reasons

>>41942 you just weren't reading the steganographic messages in the tea leaves

You can use both no one is stoping you.

I got enough scars counting on a cold heart. All of my broken bones Mend with your love. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNDL5N_Zsqk

>>22159 Hi 4chan Fren happy to see You

>>44916 I am just happy to be here Also I wish that you guys appreciated other Konaka goatness more, but that is neither here nor there

>>44919 I miss 8chan it was serious business, I wonder where everyone went l.

>>23454 This is true. I got range derezzed for 3 years for no reason

>>22340 >>22339 OC pasta? The verbose but well paced, escalating severity, writing style gives it away At least I hope it is I’ve learned that the world is big and there’s lots of crazies and crazy soykaf happening out there, you’d think it was made-up but it isn’t

>>44921 Happy hunting! https://allchans.org/

>>22162 Agreed, I just lurk. Like I did on g and make the occasional post. I'm interested in coding and programing. I've have taught myself a few laungues as a hobby. But I can't really give opinions on most stuff. I mostly lurk and try to learn new stuff. We are so fuarrrked. St least I haven't seen the miga idiots here yet

>>45347 Nothing if value I've already been derezzed from a lot ofchan's and I'm not even being edgy. The rest se super slow.Still spamming the wojak idiot's. I want revenge >Avoid get chan Talk about snubby better than thou idiots...

>>22159 Oddly I am happy that 4chan is gone, I was there far too much, and honestly believe it was effecting my mind in a negative way. 4chan shutting down and finding this board has been a positive for me. The slow pace helps here and I have been way more productive this past week. Let's all love lain!

>>45422 Same but I fear that me and everyone else will go back to 4chan like nothing happened

>>45347 Be careful when using links on allchan. plus4chan will give you a ban if you go to that site from allchan. The reason is because the admin of plus4chan states that half of the people they ban for posting cheese pizza come from that site.

>>45434 Should just stay here on Lain then, even if 4chan starts up again, many people have already migrated away and won't return, the quality of discussion will never be the same there again after the collapse of 4chan.

>>45444 The quality of discussion has been on a rapid decline for the past 20 years.

>>45420 They wouldn’t know who lain is, don’t attract them

>>45454 Don't worry I'll keep quiet

it's alright. there are a lot of posters who are a lot more intelligent/civil than your typical imageboard/social media users but there are also a lot of catty condescending reddit-tier midwits

>>22159 There's nothing good in 4chan-style "fast" imageboards. Most of it was just pure spam, trolling, and/or low-quality brain sludge. If you would filter every low-quality board and message from 4chan, it would end up being smaller and slower than Lainchan. Find a better hobby than swimming in virtual sewage, really.

>>45463 its speed and reaction time was addictive as all fuarrrk. there was always something new, something else, every time i hit that f5 button. im sure if i had a time machine and i went back and watched underagebannu version of me at 14 browsing early 4chan id think how fuarrrking boring that soykaf was and how it moved at some glacier pace, but at the time, that soykaf was like a machine gun. it updated within HOURS. not weekly. it felt like being shot into the fuarrrking sun

>>45464 It felt like toilet after residents of elderly house got milk soup for their late-night snack (true story from my sister, lmao). Just endless flood of diarrhea and vomit. There was no space for actual discussion and thought, you either were forced to join in that mass retardation or be flooded by bots and idiots calling you 5 different slurs in one post. If someone were to tell me that it was the government psyop to make people stupid and aggressive, I would believe them.

>>22161 I only know ylilauta, 8chan, this place and wizardchan (or something). I don't speak finnish, 8ch is a soykafhole, wiz too I guess, this place was comfy last time I checked

>>45463 >Most of it was just pure spam >>45466 >flooded by bots >if someone were to tell me it was a government psy-op gee, you don't say https://www.crestresearch.ac.uk/resources/mining-the-chans/

>>45475 >recent developments in artificial intelligence enabling researchers to automatically generate credible extremist sentences gee what could go wrong?

>>45475 Well, I guess I am always right.

>>45475 The issue here is that people are assuming it's just one government.

>>45475 Reminds me of /lit/. That place went to soykaf so hard it's actually unbelievable

whats the pph on this imageboard?

>>45510 Vitamin K is bad for you?

>>45515 Yes. The form they used to use would occasionally cause jaundice, and it increases blood viscosity in the neonate, Which prevents the stem cells they just prevented from entering via placental transfusion from reaching the site of vascular microhemmorhages caused by being squeezed tyhrough the birth canal. So instead of proper repair you get clotting and vascular malformations. If your fuarrrkin' body needed high levels of circulating vitamin K at birth, nature *PROBABLY* would have made sur eit was there already. The only reason those fuarrrkwit animals inject it is to circumcise afterwards. All the stuff about hemmorage is due to all the other retarded soykaf they did, like early clamping, vacuum or forceps extraction, inducing labor with pitocin, whatever. Then they make up bullshit to justify it in a circular manner. Stay far far far away from doctors at all costs. It's not funny, it's not cute, it's not a joke. They are dangerous beyond belief, and no matter how clever you think you are, the longer you interact with them the higher odds they'll slip something in to fuarrrk you over. You are not in control and you are not smart enough to outwit every little thing every little sh!t-for-brains cocksucker has figured out to weave into other routines matters to make it harmful. A healthy patient is a lost customer. Always maim them so they come back. Crooked mechanic logic. Reducing them to ashes that can blow away leaving the rest of us in peace is too good for them.

>>45518 >>45518 Ive been on a serious fear of cancer kick for sometime. Everything seems to cause it and apparently, the governments own sick out of control psychopaths (the CIA) have been using methods of causing cancer in there targets to kill them: https://open.spotify.com/episode/35gJsLqZHu7rBp7ua81HVs?si=PCUgSuqpSjqeF8Oml_kmCw The heart attack gun has been known for sometime. But the cancer thing is new to me. I wonder if theres a connection to covid19? China first stated the covid19 was CIA released. Ive known CIA members who got cancers that killed them in a year. Bizarre numbers of 20-50 year olds dying of cancer lately. Covid19 pandemic was obviously fake (and gay), but what was the reason for it? Why did they make us go through all that nonsense?

>>22339 >>22340 >A few months later, I left the city. I haven't even gone back to visit. While I realize he likely couldn't have done that to me, I keep thinking of that smile. i went back through on a businees trip a little back. ran into some of my old coworkers and we got beers. turns out there is more to the story. the brony killer from a bit after my story was not unconnected. crazy world i fuarrrking swear. stay safe and ONLY hug your plushie.

>>48186 oh, fuarrrk. I totally forgot about this nasty-ass story. Christ all mighty, it would have been better if I hadn't remembered reading about such a horror story. Dear lord, can't even imagine having to witness and experience all that first-hand. All the best to you, lainon.

>>22159 idk i’ve never been on lainchan

>>30403 But isn't it a nice surprise to see a reply to your post months later...even 46 months later...

>>45463 >>45463 >>23655 >>31083 Relaaaaaaaaax. Span your wings and try (re)posting moar stuff regards, a funny manager

>>31083 lol, thank god, someone like me. ;_;

Also didn't notice until halfway through. I'm not a super regular here until recently. Always lurk and never post, until I get acquainted with the culture more. But now i'm trying to find more reason to post. I'm also a 4chan refugee. Was regular there from 2009-2017. I do miss the old days before the every thread being porn or racism. which I don't care about those things as long as is not spammed across everywhere. I stopped going mostly because it seemed like threads were stagnant, like entire threads were reposted with the same responses and photos. I saw another lainon mention that on another thread. I kinda miss the trolling and edginess of old 4chan when it was more balanced and i'm a fan of le frog. But i like the culture here and will make an effort to post here to keep it alive. or alive enough

4chan is mentioned in the epstein files. https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA00133349.pdf One Anon worked in the prison and told us what happened the night Epstein died. The feds investigated. It's also confirmed that Moot is, in fact, a f@ggot and have been in contact with Epstein.

>>48300 >guy emails epstein telling him he should read moot's wikipedia page and come meet him >epstein then emails a link to /u/ to someone epstein learned what 4chan was and immediately went to the yuri board. incredible.

>>48309 I guess he have specific tastes and /d/ickgirls wasn't for him. What is surprising is that at the time /u/ was almost asexual with at most handholding.

>>48299 I like the racism, but I agree there is too much porn. For like a year I used /b/ for ~10hrs a day, and no other board. I've probably closed 100,000 porn threads, maybe more. When I do use 4chan it's just /tv/ and I look for a thread that is not about television.

>>22159 pls don't bring ur reddit frogs here. they don't belong on 4chan let alone fuarrrking lainchan. also yes this site is enormously slow so pls don't make uneccesary threads (its pretty much fine on this board but not others) as you may kill a very old thread that contained valuable info. I suggest finding a couple other places to lurk also if you are used to the speed of 4chan

>>22159 I like to go visit the altchans time to time Shame they are all slow boards, just worse UI or both

this place has enough pph for me, but i'm suffering from the classic imageboard syndrome where i think this place is like kicking dead whales down the beach and embarrassing but i keep visiting it

A website really has to be created that shows the activity of all BBS websites. Shouldn't even be that difficult with feeds (Atom/RSS).

>>48371 >>48495 I don't mind 8ch.moe for certain boards if I soykafpost / lurk

I come to this site every few years, post a few things, and leave again until I make more glitch art. Life's different now.

I came here a few times in the past, when I would go to more image boards when I was a neet. I go to soupchan.org now which is a spinoff of something called feels which is a decade old text only anon "twitter"-like for wizzies
