Hm. I get the impression the majority of people are on Reddit now.

2018-07-18 07:05:21 UTC  

Which kinda scares me given how easily manipulated it is.

2018-07-18 07:05:24 UTC  

Reddit is way more populous then the chan boards

2018-07-18 07:05:45 UTC  

And therefore the closer to average internet savvy person

2018-07-18 07:05:45 UTC  

The chan's are just backwaters, thats been mostly true since ive been around to observe them

2018-07-18 07:05:57 UTC  

Reddit is something like the 8th most popular website worldwide.

2018-07-18 07:06:24 UTC  

Reddit is really common, almost entry level internet

2018-07-18 07:06:29 UTC  

It's massive. And ripe for all sorts of abuse.

2018-07-18 07:06:37 UTC  

4chan is structured in a really old, not very user friendly way

2018-07-18 07:06:53 UTC  

4chan *is* old.

2018-07-18 07:07:00 UTC  

It is.

2018-07-18 07:07:03 UTC  

And it wasn't really meant to be user friendly either.

2018-07-18 07:07:07 UTC  

Correct.

2018-07-18 07:07:31 UTC  

Reddit was specifically designed to be clean and self-organizing.

2018-07-18 07:07:41 UTC  

And well, it kinda forms a shield

2018-07-18 07:07:48 UTC  

8chan could be described as 'self organizing'

2018-07-18 07:07:48 UTC  

4chan being so unfriendly

2018-07-18 07:07:53 UTC  

Its like a gauntlet getting in

2018-07-18 07:07:55 UTC  

The way it works is literally anybody

2018-07-18 07:08:01 UTC  

can decide they want to make a board

2018-07-18 07:08:09 UTC  

Like how you can make a thread on reddit

2018-07-18 07:08:31 UTC  

Also, 4chan in alot of ways is meant to be unfriendly

2018-07-18 07:08:40 UTC  

It being popular would defeat the point in some ways

2018-07-18 07:09:01 UTC  

/b/ and /pol/ are both the most populated boards

2018-07-18 07:09:06 UTC  

and the most abrasive

2018-07-18 07:09:21 UTC  

The other boards require you to skim through and find them

2018-07-18 07:10:27 UTC  

But /tg/, the anime boards, the porn boards, /v/ to a decent extent, and a few of the other misc ones

2018-07-18 07:10:31 UTC  

Are all quite friendly

2018-07-18 07:12:48 UTC  

remember when /b/ was good?

2018-07-18 07:13:51 UTC  

No?

2018-07-18 07:14:11 UTC  

I mean, i guess i remember when it was better.

2018-07-18 07:14:27 UTC  

But /b/ was always a bit too much shitposting for me

2018-07-18 07:14:50 UTC  

it was a meme 😛

2018-07-18 07:15:36 UTC  

lawl. So random.

2018-07-18 07:15:44 UTC  

Oh, i see.

2018-07-18 07:15:49 UTC  

That memes kinda true though.

2018-07-18 07:16:57 UTC  

uncultured heathans... 😦

2018-07-18 07:18:49 UTC  

I'll admit I missed the bus on most early internet culture.

Only ever got really slow dialup with the local phone company and never really got on any of the really interesting sites.

2018-07-18 07:19:19 UTC  

Anyone else think /LGBT is cancer

2018-07-18 07:19:33 UTC  

It's like Tumblr
