perhaps we can reevaluate the definitions when there are no more resources left and yada yada doom yada

we will run ourselves extinct in pursuit of it all

scared and sad. only went and triggered myself talking about that shit. it's not as bad as it used to be. just still gets me. it's still kinda fresh wound. when it's just like. two of the closest people you've known who end up getting done for shit. weird

>>364092
:(

sorry to hear that anon

I think honestly I should probably steer clear of image boards again. coming here in the first place again was a trauma response from just facing ostracization again.

>>364098
if it's harmful please leave, genuinely
it's not worth it and definitely not the point of the place

yeah I think I'll try and dip and just deal with the feelings around my most recent ostracisation

>>364103
If you ever want to request a self ban it can be done

I request a self ban then pls opworm

I am not opworm for the record

I know but when opworm shows up. pls just ban me for some comically long amount of time.

who da fook is opworm

>>364108
I'll put a year in
>>364109
He is the admin

I always thought of him as just "the admin"

>>364110
ty yeah 1 year would be great

>>364112
Take care of yourself anon
Best wishes

you too anons

Always sad to lose a wormie but

Humans need community

it's true
i could see why anonymous imageboard isn't the safest place however

What's a safe place? no such thing exists in the internet

Either people are shallow and fake to avoid getting punished by a strict moderation, or things are real but much riskier

>people are only kind etc due to risk of punishment
that's a little grim isn't it

>>364126
Not what I'm saying. I see lots of kindness here, and there are no rules that force such a thing. In places like these people are nice just because they truly are, but the possibility of people being mean is much more open.

>>364128
there are rules that necessarily enforce a baseline i guess
but in general, i don't think people either present a fraudulent self just to avoid punishment OR are real and risky

it's probably a lot more grey than that

>>364131
Not what I'm saying. I'm saying people are more fraudulent in heavily moderated social media. Also I'm not saying that people are "real and risky", but that in websites like this one you see people that are very kind and people that are very mean just as often.

IRL people are much more sincere than in both contexts

>>364133
to the original point about an anonymous imageboard perhaps not being the safest
i meant in that anon's specific case w/ her specific issues

It's true, I agree >>364135

4chan lgbt board is self harm

yeah...
places like 4chan's lgbt and even here tend to attract very strange and predatory people

i don't want this to be a place of self harm personally
that would be tragic

I may sound very schizo, but I think constant exposure to 4chan makes people very defensive and willing to say insensitive things, usually in response to an imaginary attack. Also prone to interpreting things the worst possible way.

>>364144
100% agree
i still have to try and fight off those tendencies, it's very mentally damaging

>>364147
<toughen up, be sharp
it's unhealthy

>>364148
It's a way of interacting with people that nearly ensures isolating onself.

*oneself

Either that or ending up surrounded by very bitter, conflictive people.

>>364152
bitter, aggressive, conflict prone
it leaves a sense of a hostile world impressed upon people who are exposed too long

>>364154
That "hostile world" sense likely has something to do with the rise of hateful and resentful ideologies in 4chan

>>364156
i agree

>>364158
could you elaborate a little
i think i agree but im not sure what you exactly mean

ah yes, the xitter approach
it naturally selects for controversy

i agree

it's been supercharged by capital
there's a monetary incentive to host the most controversial attention grabbing disgusting shit

incredible how much damage we could do connecting little bits of copper together everywhere

was there a luddite chat here

what was that like

sorry lmao i was referencing the specific instance not a board or something

it would be absolutely absurd to discard advancements like the microcprocessor or what have you
but the sincere damage the internet is doing is just
i don't know, how do you really solve that problem

yeah it's inherent to that kind of 'all or nothing' ideology
the scope of it is so focused and destructive

there's no humane way to 'turn it back'
we can't just retvrn in a way that's not going to do eugenics

changing the incentives of the internet and communications would involve changing the incentives of pretty well the entirety of society

i came to the same conclusion
i'm not even sure decentralizing could help
ISPs control the infrastructure which means the country they reside in control the infra etc etc etc

until attention != currency
it's a really immovable object unstoppable force deal

i would honestly love to meet the person in this day and age that would make that argument

of course they can't
that's not a real position anymore

maybe back in the BBS days that was true lol

must be nice
being retired and completely disconnected from the notions of cause and effect

w-what

they're called "secret courts" or "fisa courts." basically, shady bs where spooks get warrants to spy on you without normal oversight. they operate in secret, often rubber-stamping mass surveillance, and yeah, you'd never even know if they targeted you. total kangaroo court vibes.

whoof i wouldn't touch an anonymous related website with a 10ft pole

nice
