Well, today I learned to pay attention to post number more than image count. 400 crept up on me, and to think one day I was only 300 posts old... >>429129
Might as well post this here The captcha for 4chan dosen't work ATM So all of 4chan has gone silent Also for whatever reason all the post on /co/ are gone
>>428108 >>428109 After the captcha got fixed, it was posting that got broken, but it's fixed by now. It seems to have been caused by a cloudflare bad gateway problem.

Most alternatives are slow and hard to come by, Kuz is buying up more and more sites and becoming a monopolizer, and /pol/ is doing a history revisionism and becoming the dominant culture of most imageboards opened in the last few years. I have no clue what could become of these kinds of sites, but I hope something better comes along for imageboards in the near future. What do you think?
>>428016 Communities that "we used to visit" are going away, because we grew up and have different interests now, and any new users are not the tech-savvy nerds who used to populate message and image boards in the early 00s. The internet is not counter-culture anymore, it's mainstream. Old internet communities die off or change. Even plus4chan is missing most of its old community, because they all moved to discord.
Federated places are basically webrings, which rely on each other for advertising themselves because google does not return fuck all results now. This is because all the sites are tiny. If any one of them would grow big enough, it would swallow all the users from the smaller ones and those would die off, the same way discord and reddit swallowed smaller local message boards and IRC servers.
>>428018 Pretty much. I see it as both positive in some regards and negative in others. It would be nice to regain that element of community again, not revive old communities that once existed.
I don't think, I know. 4chan Prime is still king, complain about it going downhill all you want. Plus4Chan is still the best sister site, this won't change.
I appreciate Liru and all she has done to make imageboards, nay... LIFE so fantastic for the world. I just can't imagine what my life would be like without her. Probably worse and for that, I am eternally grateful. Thank You.
