Only Uboachan. Growing older I've begun to come to the conclusion that imageboards are a caustic and overall negative influence on productivity, happiness, and general outlook on life. I'm trying to quit using them and focus more on learning skills, reading books, writing in my journal, etc.
Social media and imageboards both neglect our ability to learn how to think critically and write properly, too. At least in my opinion. We're rapidly getting ourselves into a position where nobody knows how to accurately express their feelings or their thoughts.

>>16476The modern web is the noosphere, and when you're plugged into it it's like being plugged into a global consciousness (or the English-speaking portion of it) and having your head constantly filled with everyone's thoughts. Many people lose themselves in the noise and are essentially brainwashed and zombified (imageboards perhaps make this even worse by eliminating identity), becoming walking buzzword and meme dispensers. There's not enough distance between people and communities, and not enough time to think. On Twitter there isn't even enough space to express yourself properly, so a sound bite will have to do.
Social mediafication also has other bad effects like destroying your ability to concentrate and making you completely waste your time. It's easy to spend the whole day on 4chan and hard to stop doing it.
4chan is particularly toxic, and Hiro is in full-blown "fiddling while Rome burns" mode as the site sinks deeper and deeper into a vortex of increasingly unmoderated lunacy, inanity and shitposting. Having 4chan go out of business would be like plugging an oil spill. 8chan is not much better.

People engage in polite, thoughtful discussion on the latter two and then go on the chans to call other people shitdicks. I think there's a pretty good correlation between the rise in popularity of Reddit and the decrease in quality of 4chan.

4chan has reached the point where anime threads on /tv/ get deleted no matter what, while /co/ threads and the usual shitposting and spam are left alone. This is fully sanctioned by the site's administration, whoever they are. Also the mods for some reason crack down super hard on "spam," i.e. saying the same thing repeatedly (which doesn't amount to much due to the cooldowns), and they do this site-wide. They otherwise completely ignore reports on all boards.

It's not that I can't handle it. It's just a worn out gimmick. I'd rather just have nice conversation with people on more obscure imageboards.

Leftism supports a mentality of over-giving and compensation for people who don't deserve it. Leftism also discourages nationalism.

Did you not see the post I was relying to? It's obvious that the trust fund baby they were referring to is Trump. He also said that the election was a negative reaction to pc culture. Hillary was the face of pc culture. Since they're not talking about Hillary, and they mentioned somebody who was anti-pc culture and their supporters being "no-life anime dweebs", it's easy to connect the dots. The post was also negatively responding to somebody who was disturbed by the idea leftist otakus.

>I'm guessing that the opinions written there are representative of what most girls on the internet are thinking. It might even be what my girlfriend is thinking when I talk to her.
I wouldn't be so sure. Wizchan was certainly not the representative of what most guys on the internet are thinking (just a tiny, but very obnoxious part of it); and I feel this is exactly the same case. I am not sure how many of the anons there are legit women, but most of the hardcore users that claim "men are no better than objects" or have extremely negative opinions regarding humans with a dong between the legs make me think of reverse wizards. And that's, I agree, kind of sad.
There seemed to be sensible people there too. So I wouldn't be too worried whether your girlfriend thinks like this or not. If anything, I think that if you have a good communication with her and are willing to understand her views, you'll be fine.
>I wonder if gaming or the internet in general gives rise to a sort of pathological condition.
The moment people got access to echo-chambers where they bitch about stupid things like these, toxic communities arise. Before wizchan, ubuu's population contained wizards and we got some drama in /n/ about people posting about having friends/partners back in 2011/2012, but then they migrated and things calmed down. Ever since then, most of our dramas were exclusively related to the RPGM community, before dying out.
Now things are too calm, like a lake without waves. It's good and bad at the same time; activity in ubuu is slow, but chill, and occasionally good things are posted (although I wish we had some more activity). Since we aren't a community centered around common topics (i.e. politics, sex, religion, etc), we manage to stay outside the shitfest.
So yeah, I blame echo-chambers.

Another "improved" IB fork that will be spammed to death with Pepe before springtime. Unless your imageboard has a particular target audience (like uboachan's) to invite a particular style of posts, it will be disregarded in favour of older, faster non-themed imageboards that actually allow posts and topics in line with the conventional shitposting and "unsafe" attitudes that make up the general imageboard userbase.

I use Xchan mainly, and poke around other places, less frequently. I use it mainly for the db8 board, which is kind of like a civilized /pol/, but with more variety. The anons there are pretty cool and it has somewhat of a lainchan vibe.

I browse uboachan sometimes but not often, due to how dead uboachan is nowadays.

>>21006Yeah, alright. In that case to answer question
>>21004 asked, i'm going to crystal cafe for the same reason i go to wizchan, basically i'm doing research to better understand this divide between men and women from both perspectives, i think that loneliness and unhealthy resentment towards the opposite gender is becoming a real problem in society.
No.21008
>>21007As someone who genuinely bears the resentment against women, I can say that my loathing comes from intense social anxiety and embarrassment during my formative years. We make our judgements of groups of people based on experiences with individual people, which I have done. I know that you shouldn't apply traits to entire groups of people but alas. I don't know the case with crystal.cafe, but I think that there are more people that post both on there than there are posters on just wizchan because trying to enforce something identifiable on an anonymous imageboard attracts other people for some reason.
I (and probably others) am just looking for a safe space where I don't have to feel anxious and bad for doing the things that I enjoy
No.21010
>>21007Interesting. Although most people don't use such sites. Therefore does it really help to understand and recognize that divide? Wiz and CC are just the bottom of the barrel that is society, so are they representative?
>>21006Thank you for covering me, anon. It is as you said, I never wanted to imply that 4Chan is good. On the contrary, it is possibly the worst out there and exactly that is the impression I have from CC. It feels like a 4Chan that only wants female users.
Anyway I drift from small ib to small ib too, looking for a home, denying the fact that the good years are gone. Nostalgia is becoming poisonous but little exchanges like that one keep me going.
No.21011
>>21010>Wiz and CC are just the bottom of the barrel that is society, so are they representative?Sure they are representative. What would be the point to look at happy, well adapted people when my goal is to understand the troubled ones. Its easy to simply dismiss them as scum of society.

I was an excited crystal.cafe user when it first launched spinning out of lolcow.farm's /g/ – I was excited just to interact with other women anonymously without the baggage of the surrounding toxicity, and it genuinely began as an extremely cozy imageboard. Haven't been on it in forever, though. Last I checked, place was in shambles, full of bad attempts at bait and looking to become an r/gendercritical parallel, which made me wish I never posted there at all.
I use lainchan consistently. Also always visit 4/vp/ every time a new mainline Pokemon game comes out because it is honest to god peak hilarity every single time.
>>21011For what it's worth, I still think evaluating wiz and cc as a sample of the bottom of the barrel is misguided. You are researching imageboard users with a strong attachment to their gender. It might be interesting to see what you identify as "the bottom of the barrel" on 'normie' websites and compare their userbases.

I hope to make the answer to this "None." Imageboards, in fact all social media, can provide very little of value except a waste of time and very mediocre entertainment. I think I used them because i'm lonely, but there has to be better ways than actively decreasing my quality of life by browsing sites filled with nothing but shit opinions and people spamming the same things over and over.

I've used tons over the years. Right now I visit a few: Uboachan, Sushi, Zzzchan, Endchan, Lainchan, 4chan. Any others are visited very sporadically. I do like that they all have unique cultures, although I have begun to use imageboards less and less over time. There was… one imageboard I had used for years but left permanently as of recent because of some major revelations I had, mainly that it was an extremely toxic, cult-like place filled with close-minded, unhelpful people. Even though me leaving felt horrible (And I still feel bad sometimes), it was incredibly illuminating and has opened up my life to all kinds of new experiences…
Imageboards are incredibly cold places. Even in tight-knit communities people are still paranoid and hostile towards each other over incredibly petty things, and drama runs rampant, if you have any "wrong" opinions people pile on top of you and start labeling you all sorts of things. Its off putting to any potential new users and makes frequent users afraid to voice their thoughts and question things. It kills the site.
4chan honestly feels nice for hobby boards. There is A LOT of whining on other imageboards that 4chan is dead, its filled with "normalfags", etc. I've come to learn that they're all just idiots and that 4chan is just fine. Its an ever-changing place used by tens, if not hundreds of millions of people across the world. "Anonymous/Imageboard culture" is whatever people make it, and those who try to dictate its growth or try to control it are bound to be disappointed.
