It's so sad that nation level agents have infiltrated the moderator team and are now pushing divisive anti western ideas and also grooming fifth columnists to create havoc in the western world. Most of the boards I frequented in the past outright ban you for saying anything remotely against russia and china but promote all sorts of demoralization threads regarding the west.
I guess someone has to pay the server costs but with a huge detriment towards the authenticity and culture that characterized old 4chan
HN not loving this is not a surprise, 4chan is hardcore, but /g/ can be beared most of the time, it’s mostly Debian/Arch people there anyway.<p>But 4chan is a piece of history, a piece of the old web from its roots and it’s still going. I don’t use the site myself but I also haven’t heard that they have made any changes to the rules.<p>You have something to say, whatever that may be, we have a board for you to come and say it. That’s amazing.<p>Happy Birthday and hope they can go for 20 more years.
4chan is such an interesting piece of internet history that's still living. Despite lots of parts of 4chan being terrible, I will say that the diy board has helped me figure out some clever solutions to around the home jobs.
I had some of the best and worst conversation on 4chan. When the only means of expressing yourself is by virtue of your ideas, it really breed an atmosphere you can't find anywhere else. It just a shame, you can really tell there is a lot of... intelligence activity on the site.. from many nations, lol

As much as I am thankful for the site for a lot of things, it fostered my "there will always be new content on every refresh" problem, which has stolen so much productivity from me.<p>I don't mean this in the "haha isn't it cute I spend so much time on Reddit" way, I mean this in the "I have not chased as many goals or passions as I could've because I was numbing myself with easily-available, low-effort content" way.
/b/ was my gateway into 4chan. It was fun for a while, quickly got boring.<p>/mu/, /lit/ and /fit/ I still visit occasionally. They have good recommendations.
