Eh.. I guess it just depends on the people then

I posted on 4chan when I was 14, but only a few times. I had the wisdom not to open my mouth and just lurk.

I think the cancer really killing the place is Generals as a concept, they segment and sort the userbase into numerous cliques and tiny hugboxes that rarely if ever interact with each other, and are kept alive 24/7 with bumps

If cliques were killing it, then places like 8ch would be dead

8ch is dead

Not at all

I post and lurk all the time

and others do too

it's just slower than fullchan

8gag being slow is kind of its saving grace. if it had more posters it would draw more scrutiny and legal trouble.

Partially I suppose

I kind of like it not being widely known

One of the things I'm conviced is killing 4chan is it's mainstream knowledge

I know, I sound like a hipster saying that

But it's not really a place meant for everyone

8ch /pol/, /v/ and /b/ together have some 5000 users if the metrics are reliable, the ten following boards have about as many

That place is mostly political discussion as a whole

And more niche subjects

Nerve center is fun to browse

The two boards I truly don't like are /n/ and /newsplus/. They're garbage

i been to 8ch, the userbase is stupidly small

>If cliques were killing it, then places like 8ch would be dead

>That place is mostly political discussion as a whole
How does this add up?
If we agree 8ch isn't dead (it's a matter of metrics, it's not *dead* dead, but still pretty darn slow with a comparatively tiny userbase)
But is 8ch lots of cliques, or is it mostly political discussion? You can't have it both ways.

Resident /po/ fren

Wussup

Bulk of discussion is politics, but the bulk of active boards are niche

I know about slow boards. /po/ almost as slow as it gets

right, so lots of overlap, and not cliqued

until you get to boards like /abdl/ and stuff and those are around 100 IPs in 72 hours - less than many/most 4chan Generals

unless they have like... diaper politics?

Lost you there

I'm not familliar with diaper politics

if bulk of the discussion is politics (which from my limited experience it is), there's a huge overlap and the active boards aren't niche until you get to the ~150 IP range

I see

Mostly games, politics, with a sprinkle of everything else

yeah
