so happy to see lainchan full of life from the 4chan refugees

im so happy to see my beloved imageboard be resurrected, i for one think all of these refugees are a welcome surprise because lainchan attracts a completely different, more docile audience.(USER WAS WARNED FOR THIS POST, You should always elaborate on your opinions rather than just spilling the soykaf.)

I'm glad I remembered this place exists desu

>>44836 I really like it here. I'm being a good boy and mostly lurking for now but I appreciate the more laid-back culture.

>>44836 i'm new, what type of people does it attract ?

>>44840 not going to represent everyone, but I come here to get away from all the unnecessary noise 2x2chan created, this is an oldfg hangout

>>44841 >this is an oldfg hangout find that hard to believe as i come across a thread where some guy's first memory is halo 2

>>44841 >oldfg layout we have a lot of young people and no one ever made a point lamenting about it. enough with the 4chan cancer slangs.

I don't really know what to post here, but if you're happy - then I am happy too

>>44836 'Luv Lain. 'Luv imageboards. It's nice stumbling across an altchan that isn't politically-centric, and all of the hobby boards here look like a lot of fun. This feels reminiscent of 420chan too. Spare the rules, is there anything a newfriend should know about the site or posting etiquette?

>>44851 hmm... advice for newfren... i will warn you a lot of the boards can be a bit strict on whether your post is long enough, but YMMV.

>>44851 >>44851 >This feels reminiscent of 420chan too. I was just thinking the very same thing, the posting style is still *chan without being total brainrot retard s0ykaff

Lain i don't like the other altchans, they are writing 4chan's dead for good, i don't like the way this all happened because shameful display. I have yet to bat a single eye regarding any of this and have been posting calmly which means the truck of realization is on its way to my location. Thank you for Lain.

A small part of me says that maybe, just maybe, it's good that 4chan stays down for good, that site was already in constant decline. But I do wish that it returns, to be honest.

Welcome newfriends :) This chan is definitely a more laidback chan. It's not as fast as other chans but I kind of like it's slow(ish) nature so I can go about my day and come back to see new posts. I hope you guys have a cozy time. >>44851 Quality in posts are required but it's not as enforced depending on the subject matter of the thread from what I could tell. A good example would be this thread where you could basically just say "hi" and go about your day, or the more common "how do I make an imageboard" thread that pops up multiple times a year. The OP of those threads typically don't share what they have already tried or ask more elaborate questions to create a quality post. They then get a warning. >>44840 Other than the /g/ or /a/ crowd, I would say a lot of people who are interested in the cyberpunk """culture/lifestyle""" or similar stuff. Not necessarily just the tech, but the subjects that the cyberpunk genre addresses.

>>44861 A Federation of super intelligences enjoys a response. Prepare for docking this is not an attack. Why do you hate the exploitative strategies as outlined in this Veritasium video on the prisoner's dilemma? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mScpHTIi-kM Can hate be a kind of love? That is, when a father hates it when the child errors, and uses that hate to cause correction, is the hate evil if it's a tempered impulse that improves conditions for all? Why do the selfish and exploitative strategies in zero sum competitive games win in the short-term via a attack-first ideology? Why does that which wins in the short term does not evolve to win in the long-haul? Because the energy wasted from conflict, is an amount of usable-energy a separated group could use to out-evolve you. (primer video on the simulating the evolution of aggression ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNMkADpvO4w

Not a newcomer, just an old passer-by that doesn't want to kill a thread just to ask a question. I'm struggling to find two threads. The Lain Archive and another thread discussing interesting web-based games/interactive pages. Can't remember where they were posted, tried searching in /mega/ but my idiotic ass couldn't get a hit with keywords. Sorry for the dumb question.

>>44840 Chill technophiles, mostly. The people here avoid mainstream stuff but are still really nice. They either try to be genuinely helpful to people with questions, share cool obscure stuff they've found, or just give well thought out responses in discussions. As someone who's already lurked here for the past few months, I can definitely vouch for this place.

>>44843 LEAVE, you already gave urself away

>>44873 This was never and never will be an old user hangout. You won't make the site what you want it be be by pretending it already is that, you're just being annoying.

>>44877 that goes for you too shoo fly

>>44854 It's crazy how downhill the post quality went on 4chan after 2016. Political brainrot slowly permeated through every board since then. Lain post quality has always been really high, I think. It's pretty unique in that regard. I do wish the old 4chan text boards would make a return or if an altchan existed exclusively for text boards. /prog/ was great.

people have been complaining about n00bs from channel four as long as I've been here which is pretty much the entire time its been up, with some breaks. a lot of the old users on lain were on channel four at one point and found lain partly because of it. not saying all, but a lot. people here have of course been complaining about 4chinese spreading their racism and stuff too. there is a big current of trannies that like to pretend the entire board is full of left wing psychos like they are and I'll just go on record now and say that they don't know what they're talking about and never have.

>>44895 4-ch is exclusively a text board chan

>>44897 I MISS MY OLD HOME... /r9k/

>>44901 Yeah, but it's very dead. Any altchan has the problem of needing to achieve a critical mass of posts per day to be appealing enough to attract new users. 4-ch has been around for a long time and nails the 2channel theming though

question. Why was i given a random name? I didnt ask for a name. Whats up with names here?

>>44906 Yeah every post just gets a random name, don't worry about it. While I'm explaining this, I'll also add that there's word filters here, so if you're confused on why lainons say strange stuff like "What the fuarrrk is this soykaf" that's probably why.

I'm not quite good with tech, but I have an interest in quite a bit subjects I'd call obsecure-ish, unfortunately I cannot add much to technology. You guys just seem far smarter than me. Was never a code bro either. I have watched Lain though and its themes have deeply affected me but also fascinated me. I wonder how well I can fit in.

Be descriptive, write more. Specify what you mean and take the time to format the text then prune useless bits, spare the effort to make your post a good read for it might be visible long into the future. Someone who's done nothing but post on 4chink's big boards might discover that his posting habits were conditioned for fast reply, wired to run his fingers as soon as he sees a post, brain fried and that he can't easily stop writing short vague soykaf. Habits have inertia. It was spooky for me to begin the "reply" thought pattern and realize that i couldn't actually come up with anything to say. When i arrived to lain there wasn't a thread giving me advice.

i was hoping to find a /g/ replacement here but the tech board here is not very active compared to /g/ :(

>>44836 ey retards, do i have free speech here or is this some kind of bullshit board???

>>44951 This place is the perfect speed, you just have to let your brain recover from constant overstimulation. >>44956 You can talk about whatever fits the lain aesthetic, as long as you do it in a semi-effortful and polite fashion. e.g: - i hate darkies = soykafpost - thread that does a deep-dive on french demographic shift via sickle-cell analysis and shows a correlation with street rape with actual scientific sources and some neat code to compile new data = post it on /hum/ if you want to discuss it

>>44961 lol be polite, seems very dead this site.

>>44836 it's a very nice place that i've looked at a few times before over the years after hearing of it from word of mouth, i'm very glad i had the opportunity to come back and take a proper look around. particularly in finding the lainring, i think it'll help with fixing some of my browsing habits (such as visiting the same 3 sites over and over again for years on end) now that 4chan being down has forced me to venture back out into the wild internet for niche subjects and live discussion. i still very much miss browsing /gd/ tho

>>44836 sorry for being a pessimistic asshole but I don't think this would be a good thing, I don't mind these refugees but there is a sort creeping suspicion that later down the line lainchan would become soykaf as a result

>>44841 >this is an oldfg hangout From my meager 3y experience here the most active users are naive edgy teens vomiting their immature thoughts on the internet.

>>44944 I wrote a long reply to this post, but I realized I had nothing to add, so I deleted it. I appreciate this place for allowing me to cultivate my lurker nature again. When I was new to imageboards, I feared my posts would be moronic, so I often refrained. I forgot that, and my intelligence withered. “He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.” (Proverbs 17:27-28)

>>44869 Sounds nice. How do I get started on this technophilia stuff? Posting from a ThinkPad if that counts, would like to know more about Linux and productivity in general. Thx in advance

>>44951 > was hoping to find a /g/ replacement here – Amateur electricians with genius ideas about house wiring who never once did a google search to find out why no one's doing this already – "Thing I am autistically interested is a physical object used by people therefore it's technology" – Troll thread pretending to be a Mac enthusiast – Cniles complaining about Rust – obsessive distrohoppers who pretty clearly use their machines for nothing productive – Pretending Terry Davis was onto something It was a neat board a decade ago.

>>44951 be the change you want to see.

>>44999 /Ω/ and /Δ/ seem like good places to start. I reccomended just browsing each board and checking out any remotely interesting thread, you never know what neat stuff you might dig up.

this is my new home for now, i just wish this place had a few more qol features that 4chan did

>>45011 You can make feature requests on >>>/q/

>>44977 lain is an old anime, idk why young people like it, there are plenty of other things they can relate to

>>45017 zoomies literally couldn't even relate to lain as they never experienced the old internet.

>>44895 CNN is at fault for its popularity

>>45023 Strongly considering it. I think the work is done... and I'm almost out of time, anyway. It would probably be better if I just disappeared. My unconscious mind is apparently very influential, and I drag everything that enters my conscious frame along with me merely by existing. But it's damaged, there is a defect at the core, and an infinite wellspring of rage. There are two types of anger. So the world tends to torture me enough to charge me up like a high voltage capacitor, then it tries to trick me into draining it into a target. The physical body is also damaged, and while it was being tortured endlessly the mind was also damaged. And finally, having become 30, the machinery I used to keep myself out of the body and the mind, so I could sort of spread myself across the Earth like a cloud and move things around like puppets, has fallen apart. Self destructed. I was sucked back in, fuarrrkin' crushed back into the body, and I felt it happen all at once. It is like kicking dead whales down the beach, I can't get out, I don't know if I can sustain the will to force it to regenerate and and I don't want to be here.

>>45027 cool send us an email when you crossover

I had lainchan in my KurobaEx for the longest time. Occasionally posted but obviously I'm a little more active now

>>45028 I would do the lawnmower man thing and post on all forums and phones at once. I would make it very clear that you're all characters in a dream.

>>44836 I have lurked here occasionally over the years it is comfy but I do miss my home. I’m glad this pace is still here tho

Frig, I don't think 4chan is coming back

>>45036 What if it's true? LARGE PICTURE IS LARGE

>>45027 >me >me >i >i >me >i >me me solipsism is a cancer and you need chemo(USER WAS WARNED FOR THIS POST,Always argue in good faith and avoid using personal attacks.)

Altchans have always been and will always be better than 4chan. The only advantage that 4chan had over any other site or home is the fact that it was heavily populated by a huge swathe of people, and covered countless topics that many many other sites simply don't. Boards like /tg/, /pw/, /xs/, /qst/, etc. no longer have a home that isn't overmoderated Reddit-tier trash. It's ultimately a good thing that 4chan is gone, and although I will always miss it, it's probably a good thing that nobody can waste their time idly scrolling through those streets any more. Hopefully with the rediscovery of high quality places like this and several other altchans, the general health of anonymous discussion on the internet will rise, and the human soul can escape the plasticine shell of Channel 4. As these places are repopulated, perhaps we may enter a new age of fruitful futures and the rediscovery of what the "old internet" means in an age of dissolution and anger. We need only try, and we need only maintain an even hand.

i preferred the sleepier pace. theres too much noise now.

>>45042 Solipsism is the cure. It's spread is one of gradual unveiling, not a sort of metastasis.

>>45043 Great post. I do think the main reason I stuck around 4chan was the activity level - which, as has been pointed out in this thread, might be an addiction worth kicking. I'd rather have lower post volume but higher quality posts. There's definitely a Catch 22 problem. No one wants to contribute to a dead altchan - but without more contributors, no new users will be attracted. This is the first time I've seen any altchans have big traffic increases. It will be interesting to see how it plays out and which ones take off.

What's going on here? Can I not multi-reply? Regardless, thank you for the advice friends.

The things I don't miss are the constant noise, spamming and other amenities 4chan has to offer. This place seems a bit more quiet and laid back.

>>45070 Usually happens when you make two posts in a row too fast. Just go do something else in the meantime. It's to encourage people to do actual stuff like hacking a soykafty website or grow mushrooms or building a risc workstation to live as a spirit in the wired like lain so that you come here and you actually have stuff to talk about instead of just spilling the soykaf (like in that other place)

>>45043 most altchan's are just 4chan's dregs, not better unless you count a bunch of brown schizophrenic freaks to be better. but yeah lainchan is nice and chill, will lurk here even if 4chan comes back

>>45042 Conversational advice for online and even IRL. Always use I instead of You. The royal you is confrontational, it accuses, do not use you as the default pronoun in a sentence. Speaking about what i would do in a situation opens me to criticism so, to protect themselves, people point towards a hypothetical you but the You includes your interlocutor especially if he's in front of you right now. Many conflicts can be diffused before they even arise if you set your default to I, Me.

>>45082 I-statements are crazy to me bcs I always worry about coming across narcissistic for saying them too often I get that they are therapeutic in many ways and helpful but I worry..

>>45083 >I always worry about coming across narcissistic for saying them too often Same. I write a post or response in chat, read it, and all I can see is >>45042 . Then I redact it heavily, which often ends up making it sound indifferent or cold, or just not post it at all. I'm having the same feeling about this post, but I'll force myself to send it. I know that subconsciously I yearn for some kind of validation, but the conscious knows that I shouldn't seek it from strangers. And that the strangers don't care about what Me Myself and I think or feel. Anyway, hi, lainchan. My first post here in a decade, or many years at least, don't remember how long it's been around. I probably made less than 100 posts total back then anyway. Obviously coming here as a 4c refugee. I'm realizing now how addicted I became to the dopamine rush it gives with its 24/7 high speed posting. Maybe it will help me quit it by hanging around on a slower board, or maybe it will just help me cope until it comes back. Random dumb pic from twitter. I never finished watching Ergo Proxy. But the others were my favorites back in late 90s to early 00s. I guess they're now something to watch ironically and meme about by people born long after those shows have aired. After writing all this, let's see if kurobaex can even post here normally

>>45085 >let's see if kurobaex can even post here normally It does. Posting without captcha is such a strange feeling. The random name made me chuckle. Fitting. Also forgot my pic

>>45085 i think the question to ask is whether you're treating it like your personal diary or not. its not wrong to talk about 「deep subjects」, or your thought process, but, sometimes these things are better if you ask first. you can indicate how something makes you feel simply by saying things like "it feels as if" and "it felt / made me feel __" in seemingly-appropriate scenarios, like reactions to media - if you do not use an i-statement in this context, i get the feeling that the "i" is already implied. also, you can form your thoughts in the form of a question, but make sure it is a genuine question instead of something like "does anybody else get thirsty". this is how i communicate, though. there is no right or wrong way and it is anonymous imagboard with comfy mods anyhow. the worst that can happen is someone chooses not to read the rest of your post because of a mistake. and it is their loss if they ignore the better content of it. anyways, welcome back to lainchan! if you need immedate dopamine rush alternative to 4chan you can maybe look at libpol meguca instance. live boards are interesting but i like lainchan more >>45042 people dont choose solipsism. they become self-absorbed due to alienation and such.

>>44861 Greetings! Gonna miss 4chan, especially the /x/ board, even with how much it had been collapsing you could still find the 'needles in the haystack' of good threads. Even with it gone, it doesn't mean I cant find new knowledge to learn, frens to meet and rabbitholes to jump down. I've browsed a little here ages ago then moved to arisu, but arisu has been kill now for awhile. Thanks for the welcome and I'll try to keep my posts of the best quality I can provide :D >>45086 >To phonepost or not to phonepost? Might try keep it traditional myself at the ol' keyboard, but bad habits die hard. Became really annoying to post on KurobaEX in the last half-a-year or so on 4c, so maybe thats a sign. Oh, and same here for Ergo Proxy, it just doesnt hold my attention like some of the others.

>>45085 I was the poster that >>45042 replied to. I encountered, and myself developed, this "look at how much I and me you use, and how every sentence starts with I". Now known as a subset of "pronoun density" within "prose analysis". Alternate forms include "replace I with you", do what you noted and conscious try to omit self reference, which generally results in what you described as well as a sort neurosis that turns your ground state into truncated speech. Truncation blends well into "mindfulness" and "timelessness", ie stripping the great yod he, the I AM, from "I am going out", rendering it "going out", removing the self reference, is sort of like removing the self or the reflection. It's odd getting all these sorts of responses, 'cause apparently I've heard it all and done it all. I deconstructed and destroyed the self, I looked in the mirror and saw nothing but a vague shape I didn't comprehend, I saw no reflection in anything or anyone, I was like a ghost. My "I" was, is, in the world, but not of the world. I could search the entire world and never find the origin of perception, just like you could search an entire dream world and never find your body asleep in bed. So, yeah. There are pitfalls to everything people suggest. Stripping pronouns and trying to communicate the absolute, rather than in terms of internal state or relative terms, usually leads to one of the "there is only the present" mindfulness cults. And whenever someone tries to hold this over me, as that poster did, I know that perspective was transplanted into them. It was not grown from seed, they don't know what they're relaly saying.

>>45087 The hypothetical you was in your post. Online and Off, people use a strawman named you without realizing it. It takes courage to be the strawman. I can imply all i want, if i write you then someone reading it will understand that he is at the end of my argumentative finger. No narcissism. This sentence wasn't about me even though i wrote I and my. This is a subject i take to heart so i decided to bother someone with it today.

Where did everyone else migrate?

For me, the wholesomeness of lainchan is what makes it great. I always knew about it, but it was slow as molasses. Now it seems active and I can post here, be chill, read about technology and, most of all, not have to deal with politics, troons and things like that. Thank you lainbros for keeping this jewel alive.

>>44840 Spam is strongly discouraged and users who like to read and write elaborate answers tend to stay. There is a strong emphasis on understanding technology. >>44869 I like uncle Ted more than you like your electronic. >>45098 Halfchan have been loosing users for a decade. Hiroshimoot never did anything to keep it up. Random was killed by the fappening. The hobby boards have become autistic. The politic ones have died when the 2016 election kids came, died again when half the users left for telegram or other message systems, died once again when AI was used to flood it and died even more in the 24 election.

>>45100 I agree. As >>45101 pointed out, /b/ and politics became shells of their former selves making any meaningful discussion impossible on either board. SJparty has little traffic outside its main boards, and it's almost entirely people under 20 parroting memes and slurs. I've seen some posts of people claiming SJparty is more like old 4chan which is hilarious to me. Old 4chan had boards where actual discussion was possible - that's what Lain has.

>>45103 The people that say the sharty is like old 4chan think that 4chan was exclusively /b/.

>>44840 The name tells you everything you need to know. If Serial Experiments Lain is your favourite anime you will like it here.

I came across Lainchan long before I knew of the anime, but didn't think much of it. After the anime, I came back and have been lurking a long while. Now that the four chins are napping in the corner, I'm marginally more active.

>>44836 That's such an autistically pure post, anon... it's pretty cute...

>>45109 Ima be honest, coder schizos have a tendency to be right about this sort of stuff, even if it doesnt make sense to us laymans. And likewise, the esoteric nature of technology is poorly underrepresented and could be further explored, relating it back to Lain with how teh Schumann Resonance reflects our own 'collective unconscious' with autists being able to access information they in no way should know, or good ol' telepathy and future sight.

>>45106 Soyjak party just takes the most chaotic elements of the old /b/ and nothing else that made it what it was. SJP is homogeneous and stale. It's commitment reviving raids and trolling and site wars is commendable but without a will to further their culture like /b/, it's just a pale imitation.

honestly, probably the most tame i've seen people on forums compared to soykaf like Soyjak.Party, might stay here for a bit :)) Anyway, check out this little guy. thinking of naming him Chip

Welcome to Lainchan, then! Lurk and learn about the boards. Also, Chip looks nice.

>>45363 sharty is boring because there is no real discussion; their other board is instagram reels, so conveying nothing comes natural. for some reason their humour is almost identical to that of object show communities and pizza tower fans. is the one and only soyjak.party a heckin' dark and evil com grooming operation? to any parents reading this, please monitor your childrens' online activities.

Does lainchan still have a webring? I am working on an index of sort and would like to join.

>>45370 yup, check >>>/tech/82769

I'm sorry, but why are you laying in bed with a CRT monitor? Don't you have cushions to rest your head onto or hug? But yeah, he looks cool. I wish I had him. I remember looking into a big CRT TV when I was around 3 years old. I liked laying my palm on it and feeling the static electricity every time, because it felt funny. I wonder if that was responsible for my character development..

>>45368 You're not actually too far off since I've seen evidence of SP members trying to recruit on Roblox to join their cult, which was as pathetic as it sounds

I am kind of going through 4chan withdrawals, I don't think I really used it that much but yet I feel like it's absence has left some type of void in my life. I mostly liked soykaf posting on bant and avoided serious discussions because it usually wasn't in a manner I found meaningful enough. The topics on 4chan are kind of circular and repeat quite a lot. Like endless topics about religion that seemed inherently schizo, like making completely poposterous connections between different subjects that you wonder how anyone could reach those conclusions let alone spend all that time thinking about. And then all the topics about race in general, like the nonstop topics about black people stealing white women, white demographic statistics etc. But yet, despite how ridiculous much of the posting was, there was still a kind of wholesomeness to it, that is completely lacking on sites like the sharty. That being said there's not that much to miss and it's probably a really bad thing that I miss 4chan. I really need to get out of this situation I'm in basically.

>>45377 They're committing slow-suicide. They can go and talk to a woman and actually start a family but they are either too ugly or too autistic for that. I'm not saying I'm different either, but our coping mechanism is different. I waste my time all day scrolling and lurking calmly without drama and others spend their time lurking on there, cursing and fighting all time.

>>45378 I secretly want the power grid to go off so I can just sit back, watch, and enjoy the show. 4chan going offline is one of the best things to happen. Hopefully we see a massive die off of online platforms - would be amazing. I also secretly hope everyone loses their job to AI, economy crashes, covid 2.0 - would be chef's kiss.

>>45377 It's doing a bit of the same thing with me too. I miss /g/ and /v/, hell even /gif/. But it's also given me a really healthy detox in a way. Lainchan is the first alt-chan I thought of going to and the civility feels so fresh. If 4chan comes back I don't know if I would go back to it at this rate.

>>45377 I'm definitely missing some of the boards on ol' 4chan, but not as much as I'd thought I would. Besides, being here is helping me focus on programming and tech stuff which is what I was procrastinating when browsing 4chan. If it does come back up, I'll be weary to get sucked back in that vortex, but I probably will just to browse the few boards I found a kinship in.

>>44963 Well it appears a former kings country is no longer a country. Forever just ended, smell the flowers. It is spring after all and new beginnings are a good thing.

>>45377 if racial statistics feel wholesome to you, it doesn't matter how much or little you used, you're 100% indoctrinated. it makes sense you feel like you're in withdrawal. good luck on your rehabilitation. love lain.

>>45377 >it's probably a really bad thing that I miss 4chan Yeah take advantage of this break and realize how fuarrrked up the site has been making you, perhaps.

>>45363 take a look at the rounded bump framing the screen. it's clearly a female. name it Poly.

>>45363 I really like Lainchan, it is so much more chill and relaxed compared to 4chan. People seem much more laid back here also. It's like wandering into a small quaint little village after living in a huge city.

>>45397 you say this yet since fourchan is down it makes me feel like a country bumpkin who's town has just been filled with a crazy number of cityfolk zipping around. Its so much faster and busier! Sure we've got the birthday celebrations and Easter and the dawn of the Revolution all going on at once but this is still quite the commotion. Welcome new folks but please mind your manners

>>44836 I actually used to part time lurk lainchan as it always reminded me of a better, slower /g/, before it turned against free software land everything freedom. I have to tell you that I'm glad I have somewhere to discuss lisp and emacs in these trying times.

I've been to a wide variety of obscure altchans (some you probably don't even know about) and I must say that Lainchan is the best altchan of them all. The amount of user activity on lainchan isn't too little, and the quality of posts is much higher than any of them too. lainchan deserves more attention.

>>44977 Exactly my thoughts too lol. Some threads even read like r/Im14andthisisdeep posts.

>>44975 >suspicion that later down the line lainchan would become soykaf as a result if mods do their job well then unproductive posts and spam should be filtered and site rules, and by extent board culture should be enforced. if that's not enough for you however, there's still bluesky >>44977 >>45409 personally I don't mind the theater kids here. they do open new threads more frequently but I've observed here to be a silent demographic of much wiser lurkers who will tell them how stupid and naive it is what they just posted, and why. this isn't bunkerchan. but I like to have some of them here so I can sanity check my own ideas. image boards are imo the last remaining places of an actual opposite of an echo chamber (doesn't matter what reddit says since it never mattered). an anti hug box. a hurt box, so to speak. and I cant find any other place like that really. especially with how my thoughts evolved and how public squares and social media have failed us all as a society but if you know any other place where you truly can discuss random but deep cutting ideas without it turning into fart huffing, I'm all ears

Howdy! 4chan refugee here. I forgot this place existed. to be honest, im kinda happy 4chan got axed cause it gives me a chance to explore sites that aren't trash. Anyone else use Omnichan to browse Lainchan? That's the app I found this site through but it ain't letting me post. Says my request looks automated. Anyone else have this issue?(Take that sort of question to /q/, but if you are phone posting, lots of phone apps don't have the correct logic to handle the flood or spam filters properly, I know I have found some clients that do , but others don't.)

>>45447 Kuroba works. >>45400 Same here. I stopped browsing /g/ for a while and my enthusiasm for lisp died off, but I forgot that we have really good threads about it here on Lainchan. The other place I used to go for Lisp discussion was textboard.org but that seems to be long defunct. >>45145 I'm a big fan of this artwork and I think I remember seeing it posted before on here. Put me on a long digression looking up the artist and reading about the ideas behind their works. It's The Mask by Rozzi Roomian if anyone's wondering.

>>45397 I dunno, after a while it becomes easy to block out the toxicity of somewhere like /pol. its like working a regular job in a daycare center for cataclysmically retarded children

>>45557 Idk why you all pretend to hate them so much. The only reasonable criticism is the actual site sucked ass! Intentionally degraded functionality, poorly run and managed, but people dont repost memes unless they think their funny.

I've usually browsed the tech boards and just checked this one to see what you guys were saying about 4chan, and I've never seen so many mod edits. Is this common here?

>>45572 Its not uncommon for altchans

>>44963 You know what is fuarrrking dead? 4chan This place is alive, you just fail to see it through your burned brain hyperstimulation glasses. Real people have other things to do. That's wjy they post, go live their lives, then come back the next day or whatever. This is not 4chud and will never be

>>44951 /g/ is so much more horrible compared to this, why on god given earth would you want this place more like /g/?

not a 4сuсk, just came cause a friend tossed the site at me. don't have much of an opinion yet, but why is random not truly random? why is it rebranded into /r/ can you tell me why the fuarrrk are they censoring words into some cumsucker soykaf? why is the site сuсk buttblasted by the word сuсk? babies in premise? where's the baby on this site? i want to soccer kick their pudgy little potato heads. bravo for non eye rape theme, though. >>44902 of course you do, now molest the nearest lady outside of your house and stream it while you're at it. >>44907 >mandatory tripfagging imagine.

I doubt they are completely new posters. Most likely just 4channers that have already been here but didn't post much.

>>45595 >why is random not truly random? https://www.lainchan.org/random/index.html is random >where's the baby on this site? post 45595 i think >mandatory tripfagging theyre not tripcodes since you don't have one assigned to your IP. they are more anonymous than many chans have by default. lurk more

>>45599 ? >lurk more on this imageboard? pass lmao.

>>45595 sometimes I miss being a teenager and then I see a post like this. Thank you Anon, I’ll never yearn to be retarded again

>>44836 I always liked it here, reminds me of /g and /sci. Just less retarded and less people... wonder if that's related.

>>45595 >glitterboy Feel better now?

>>44836 I wonder if people will migrate back to 4chan once it comes back online. Will there be an influx of normal users? Honestly, I think the site's user base will probably be smaller now. By this point, a lot of people have likely already found their new version of “4chan” whether that's some alt-chan or something completely different.

>>45641 I wonder if glowies, z**mers and astroturfers will turf again once its back online fr fr

>>45641 It will be like what happened when 8chan shut down. I came and posted here for a while, got bored and moved over to 4/g/. /hum/ is the main reason I like lainchain, but there's never enough content to make me more than a vacationer. I'm well beyond lain's target demographic of 20 year old college students learning about woo woo for the first time, and the topics I'd actually like to discuss aren't really new or interesting so I don't bother to make threads. If I seriously made a vim or NixOS thread, would people post in it? Or if I talk about how bots infest the top most layers of the internet would people really care because its a trite discussion that's been had before? Most days I just like to consume content, and lainchan doesn't have the post velocity to provide me a carrot most days. This could be changed as long as we keep this level of activity because i enjoy the non-AI non-gacha brain rot posting that this site provides.

>>45643 >if i made a vim or nixos thread would people post in it? check the catalog. emacs threads are a staple, i don't see why we can't have a vim thread if one doesn't already exist even. nixos discussion seems fine as long as the OP actually has some info too. >how bots infest the top layer of the internet there's plenty of threads about this already and there is very little of quality in any of these threads. i would suggest making a meaningful, technically-supported argument in them if you do contribute, if you don't have anything technical or meaningful to add and just want to stoner techbro talk about AI or whatever else then perhaps not

>>44902 Its over.forever!! You have now to go outside ( for the first time of your life?)and have a social life whit normal person

>>45641 I still haven't found my replacement and Im still waiting to return to 4chan. I open 4chan on reflex when I have a spare moment a couple times a day on the low end. The discussion is too high brow here (I also thought lain was just alright) but this is the only alt I could really think of.

>>44836 I keep checking in some time. Mostly lurk though I like that I can post from VPN

>>44836 I'm happy to see it thrive and I see the site as a relaxing stand-in imageboard that's well thought out and way better than 4chan or any other imageboard. Those are sculpted as much as a rough city is seen from a person's viewpoint. Trouble is, Lainchan's not as busy as other imageboards come and go, but browse as much as you like ;)

Всем привет и извините если кому-то помешаю, просто не найду как создать отдельный тред. Не передать моё удивление от увиденного и того что люди всё ещё здесь сидят. Хотелось написать что только что закончив просмотр остались очень приятные эмоции и радостно что посмотрел это аниме. Всем хорошего дня!
