this

so much

it hurts

but that's the thing, you can have a big community, but it still needs to be "kinda" niche

I kinda can't help but see image boards as a kind of social microcosm either

Wherein it seems like the normal methods of growth and stagnation lead to an overabundance of people who are not terribly interested in the original key principles, or contributing to larger works

This is also, going back to imageboards, probably why /tg/ is one of the more productive boards

Yeah, see: https://meaningness.com/geeks-mops-sociopaths

I hate that article

What the hell do they mean by muggles?

imo that article is shit

and they give names to shit that make nosense

that article is really bad to explain 4chan boards for example

it fits for fashion and music groups though

fighting entropy is a losing battle

and technology constantly speeds up the rate of entropy

That TES furry actually wrote good articles on 4chan

being "nomadic", or in other words "constantly moving" is the only way to really keep things "consistent". As entropy takes down the old which you have built, you are in the process of creating something new. At some point the old and the new will have been brought to equal levels, and once the old has completely fallen to entropy, it is time to move on.

in this way, you fluctuate around a axis, that axis is your consistency

Surely efficiency has a roll to play here. Like instead on making an axe out of a stone every week I can spend a week to make an axe that lasts a year?

Info > site it's posted on

i'm just joking because its tumblr

It belongs to a "drawfriend"

there is plenty of good stuff buried in tumblr.... it just is quiet, and therefore not often brought into the light.

That is an amazing writeup on 4chan.

It is my go to for explaining anon to people

you know, tumblr seems to be overwhelmingly female. this post seems to claim 4chan is pretty equal in its gender distribution, social media seems to primarily attract more females than males. I'm beginning to think that the internet, at least by todays standards, is fulled with may more female influence than people care to admit

People often pave over facts to fit narratives

also, how hilarious is it that you can technically claim 4chan is the most diverse and equal place on the internet

Remember how Black Panther was the first black superhero on the big screen?

yeah

and deadpool was the first rated r superhero movie

Yup

which both of those are at least beat by blade

and underrated movie if you ask me

and there was probably ones before that too

I'd actually argue females, but particularly young middle class females are heavily over-represented in everything.

i would agree with that assessment

the more you really look, the more it seems things are catered to females.
