I've been getting lonelier lately, and I remembered how much fun i had as a kid posting here on 4chan (yes, as a kid, I started using it when i was 13, now I'm 19)

nowadays however, no fun at all, everyone takes things too seriously and would rather talk about things that make them mad instead of things that make them happy, you know what I'm saying?

anyways, I want to know, that right now, in 2024, are there any GOOD altchans? years years years ago I tried stuff like meguca, heyuri, sushi, that yuyushiki one, whatever, they all sucked for differing regions, but posting on the kemono party one to complain about the website being down reminded me of how comfy imageboards can be.

what im asking, again, is, are there any fun ones? not based around dumb shit like wizardchan, but also not honeypots like heyuri, im not using ironypoisoned ones like the sharty or that /bant/ one either
>>

you never experianced 4chan like this ever. it's gone man.
it stopped around 2014 with gamer gate and GR15.
I would recommend smugloli but you are a smooth brain zoomer who will probably find the glacial pace too slow.

I can reliably post from Tor on both eW52YXB1bmEuYmV0, aGZudHYuZXJ2ZnJh, and d254Y25lZ2wuZmJs, so I'm considering frequenting those if this site implodes. dXJsaGV2LmFyZw== unfortunately blocks exit nodes from viewing the site entirely, but other proxies work. I also like what little I've seen when browsing ampqLjI4cHVuYS5iZXQ=, dXZ4bmV2My5wdQ==, and ZnB2c3ZwdW5hLmZjbnBy. Picrel contains more that I found from lists, removing darknet domains out of caution.
Also, if you're not used to the slowness of altchans, try finding RSS/JSON/Atom feeds for their boards and add them to your feed reader under the same folder/tag. This way you can browse them all together and have plenty of new posts in one place to read.

I'm not arguing with someone as retarded as you, "honeypot = american feds"? are you 12? and I know you're trying to get more people to use it, but anyone who is not chronically retarded can figure out Heyuri is still co-owned by Kuz despite what Kaguya says, if you weren't a newfag you'd know it was explicitily said even

If you can't show any proof YOU aren't worth arguing with. I want more people to use it but couldn't care less if your kind doesn't, I don't think anyone in this thread will care about your opinions anyways.
>"honeypot = american feds"
Of fucking course "honeypot" is colloquially used to refer sting operations/"baits" of the FBI on imageboards. If you are so smart and using honeypot in the actual meaning in technical literature, please explain me how the fuck can a WEBSITE be a SECURITY MECHANISM?

blocking files by hash detection. While this can be evaded by slightly editing an image, "neural hashes" also exist to try and prevent this. Still not foolproof, however.

>>100134342
Idea suppression isn't the only way a monoculture is created.
Yes we argue about everything here, but certain ideas are definitely more popular than others.
This can happen organically or it can be artificially induced by various means.
It's less of a problem here than on other sites like Reddit, but it's undeniable that there exists a "chan culture" that's apparent in pretty much all imageboards (at least the English speaking ones).

did you not even read my post? i complain about ironypoisoned retards
>>
>>100140364
No, it was just the bot spam. It started within a couple months, the image attachments were randomly modified with weird color blotches (presumably to prevent hash blocking) and the post text sometimes included onion links and random hexadecimal strings that made them hard to regex match. I deleted them on sight and made a couple filters, but they bypassed captcha and sometimes would stay up for more than 12 hours because I was asleep and couldn't see them until the next day. There'd be anywhere from 1 to 5 of them per day, it increased in frequency near the end. Eventually I chose to shut down the site because I wasn't able to delete it properly and I didn't want to get in trouble for not moderating effectively.
>>
>>100140385
Irony poisoning is different from shitposting. One is about pretending to be a extremist until you believe the radical ideals. The other is posting azumanga characters and parroting Twitter memes.
>>

They never were, you're here to make enemies and maybe post funny shit. But mostly enemies. The day this shithole shuts down and we're free from its shackles will be soon, inshallah.
>>
>>100140407 (Me)
If I were to try again, I'd probably get a LLM to review posts and instruct it to delete posts that meet a very specific criteria (random filterpassing spam and onion links) and that'd probably intelligently eliminate the problem with 0 need for regex. But we didn't have llama back then.
>>
>>100140407
The colored bars I've been referencing run horizontally on the top and bottom of an image, they are on top and below the original picture, added on to throw off porn filters. They are blue green and red IIRC. The proxy also changes your IP with each post which I confirmed on /pol/. Sometimes it will add a general color filter to the entire image to make it look washed out I guess? I'm just scared the people who made it could do 2 things: somehow embed cheese pizza into the modified images without you knowing, and maybe track your posts you make with their proxy and even somehow figure out your actual IP. And now your telling me about feds weaponing cheese pizza and I'm like fuck. I'm more tech literate than normalfaggots but I'm not tech literate enough to figure these unknowns out on my own.
>>
>>100140475
I don't think whatever proxy thing you're talking about is related. This was its own isolated thing, and I've witnessed it happening to other small altchans too, the same type of posts, like clockwork. The feds just don't want small imageboards out there for some reason.

I've assumed that feds must have a quota and are going after low-hanging fruit. The posts I've seen on fchan, 4taba and also the fediverse claim to have "leaks" and a clearweb url consisting of random letters. Presumably honeypots logging the info of anyone who clicks on the link. Another thing that sticks out to me is the wording, it'll state an age range up to 17 yo. What's the point of advertising an age that's both legally radioactive but indistinguishable from legal images?

There's no cheese pizza and they say in their 2nd rule out of 2 not to upload anything illegal same as 4chan. There's loli hentai on the tech board, 4chan /b/ allows it which tells me its not a crime. But I think the people who run the site themselves are into loli, which is what is making me nervous.

so you're saying that the site being 80% ironypoisoned phoneposting zoomer faggots from the turd world was great, but the site being 90% ironypoisoned phoneposting zoomer faggots from the turd world is intolerable? LMAO. lol even

>"""ironypoisoned"""
Assuming this isn't really good bait, what do you mean by this?
Internet culture broadly has drifted toward being postironic. It's not something that only happened to 4chan

You zoomers don't post what you actually sincerely believe. It has been a plague on this site since the 2000s.

How do you know it's feds and not someone else, like another altchan owner trying to take out the competition?

>>100144229
I don't know that. It's just an educated guess based on what other anons have posted over the years about altchans.
>>
>>100145365
An educated guess based on unreliable information isn't an educated guess.
You know that Anons here blame everything on glowies without even a hint of evidence, so unless there's any actual proof you can't jump to any conclusion other than "I don't know".

No problem. And yes it's amazing how dim some posters are. I didn't want to reward him with a reply.
