Yeah same. Strangely enough, the fact that there were rules and trigger-happy mods who were really unfair added some spice and thrill when you occasionally toyed with the limit of the rules by shitposting. Thread IDs, ban of gacha/AI/twitter screencap subhumans would have done wonders for /v/ back there. It's not the same here. Smaller pool of people and weird consensus on opinions, it's like vg but with less of the mental illness thankfully. Not like it was that much better on halfchan but the fact that there were tourists, casuals, braindead zoomers, SJWs from tumblr or literal corporate drones meant that you'd get some kind of variety in the responses and opinions. Even if real discussions and arguments died out in the last few years due to AI and tiktok kids, it still felt alive, with the occasional effortposters or people who still upheld imageboard culture. Two days of lurking here and it feels stale, despite the much better posting experience, features, and overall refreshing climate. (no BBC posters, NTR spammers, steam chart threads, SEA monkeys or pajeets, outrage baiters, mentally ill gooners staying in their contained zones etc) I don't know. Maybe I got addicted to the quick dopamine fixes too.
At the same time I hope that 4chan stays dead because the negatives far outweigh the minuscule positives it had. I guess it's just a matter of adapting and
lurking more , feels weird being a newfag again.
