Not even one good thread for weeks. Where do I even go to have a good discussion on tech and other hobbies? This place is shit, r3ddit is shit, orange plebbit is shit, lobsters is shit, other forums and boards are dead, like where's everyone, HELLO! It feels like everyone moved somewhere and I was left alone here, and when I try and make an effort thread it gets killed by schizos and trolls.

It's hard to quantify, but if I found out there were more LLM posts than human ones, I wouldn't be surprised.

Umigalaxy doesn't appear to mess with webp uploads, if it's a 17KB lossy webp it stays a 17KB lossy webp to other users. One controversial thing is that it converts PNG/JPG images to web though.

It has to be designed in a way, intentionally or otherwise, which can filter out all the spam, bots and retardation. I was on a runescape private server about a year ago, had idk maybe 10k players total something like that and it was by far the most genuine, lifelike, authentic community I have seen online since like 2004. Probably because the admin of the site set up custom rules that would not fuck with bots at all, and very strict on the players plus the nature of a RS private server doesn't attract what a forum does like here where it's just endless spam and ads and bot farms.
Basically if you don't know by now you need to find someone who can inv you to something like this or you're forever fucked now.

Discussion can cross into the realm of what is deemed "schizo-tier", but only in the sense that it covers fringe concepts; to my knowledge there aren't any schizo ritual posters. Posts are held to a certain "standard of quality"; you can't just shitpost and/or write one-word retorts. Whether its efforts at moderation are adequate/efficient is subjective--I personally don't like some of the word filters. Some boards/threads are more active than others, though site activity is largely slow.
There are a handful of altchans with their own moderately-sized tech boards, but I personally like that one, and would like to see more activity/contribution on it from the right people.
Anonymous · 2026-07-23 22:56 [#11729][report] Aside from forums and imageboards, I've been having more fun browsing sites covering projects I'm working on atm--though they're more often than not forum posts themselves (many of which are a pain in the ass to navigate without an account, some of which have files locked behind donations). I find that it's better for you yourself to read the documentation proper and make sense of it, rather than to seek to seek someone's else's (often misconstrued or incomplete) version of it. The necessity for doing so should be self-evident, if one (rightly) assumes/observes the abysmally-low collective IQ of the Internet.
Irrespective of everyone's objective IQ, there's something about online discourse/interactions that compel oneself to act like a complete fucking moron, more so than they would IRL. This has always been the case--even during Usenet days, going by anecdotal evidence--but it's exacerbated nowadays what with the modern userbase--many of whom are simply seeking quick entertainment instead of enlightenment), and the algorithms that influence them.
Instead of resigning to disregard the majority of users; i.e. normalfags, as niggercattle, I would instead be interested in efforts aimed at elevating them to a higher standard. There have been incidental efforts to do so on the part of privacy mindfulness, but it's primarily performative imo in the sense that they just follow along with it; they don't understand the underlying technologies and the reasons for needing to do something, it's just another personality trait to tack on. Perhaps we'll see a change out of necessity when Western governments collectively carpet-bomb the free Internet (for the sake of teh children, of course!).

Anonymous · 2026-07-24 02:04 [#11822][report] >>26918 >online discussion is where we can easily exchange and debate ideas Yes. It just happens to be such that the majority of people's contributions are inane and of no substance. If anything, their "contributions" only serve to devolve said "discussion", of which often times is already meaningless itself. The majority of any population is painfully dull.
>and call each others faggot niggers Case in point. I'm not opposed to using the nigger-word when someone has earned it, but I find it low-brow to use it as is before a conversation has devolved into lancing insults at one another. Many use it, as well as "tranny", as some kind of attempt at a rebuttal, without even caring to append an actual argument to it. Granted, sometimes the person you are arguing with is retarded to the point where they don't deserve a proper response, but it can't be the case that the majority of interactions here (and most other online spaces at this point) warrant one-word, dismissive retorts. If such is the case, either everyone's contributions are consciously low-effort; they're acting retarded on purpose, or they're just simply retarded and can't come up with anything better to say.
>Like what? The criteria for what is considered high-quality is subjective. I'm sure we can reach a consensus on what is low-quality however. Lack of literacy and lack of effort on the part to elaborate on one's argument--if there even is one--is low-effort. The only possible remedy I can imagine would be efforts to increase literacy rates in the Western world, exclude users with low English fluency, i.e., rangebans; and raise the barrier of entry for participation on the Internet, or even setting up and using a computer.

>>and call each others faggot niggers >Case in point [...] IMO banning the use of such words will clean any online space, I'm not against its use like some over socialized redditor, but most people that use it only do it because it's edgy and contrarian, ban also politics because it attracts retards, make the internet mostly about hobbies and interests, make the internet autistic again!
>>Like what? >raise the barrier of entry for participation on the Internet, or even setting up and using a computer. Maybe like an altnet that requires some computer literacy to use would filter most retards, I don't speak about i2p or tor, but something like usenet, people today can not even torrent, and would rather be humiliated in pirate sites. Range banning would not solve your problems (see the sharty) because indeed some nations have more retards but that is just a naive way of filtering retards, which can be done in better ways.
The big problem here is that people stopped caring about cyberspace and technology, while the remaining are jews, faggots and goycattle that seek to ruin it even more, every organization that cared about the good of tech and the net were infested by jews and troons literally, they keep using the same methods of infiltrating that are mainly about stupid leftist ideas like inclusion, equality and democracy as a reason to remove the OGs and replace them with their retarded proxies, see what happened to EFF, FSF, W3C, Mozilla, hell even google used to cared.

Instead of Dead Internet Hypothesis, perhaps the reason for the silence is: Boring Internet Hypothesis. Or could be: Boring Technology Hypothesis. In my opinion the wiz-bang *wow* technology never materialized. I find the technologies of today and the last 20 years incredibly boring. I am left with an empty nostalgia feeling for a time that hardly existed beyond fleeting moments of playing Street Fighter II at the arcade, or Metal Slug at the roller skating rink, or renting Road Rash 2 and playing it on by friends Sega Genesis, or the thrill of playing Command & Conquer 2: Red Alert with some guy across the globe. I remember days when people were all excited about: "what's life going to be like after the year 2000, wow, gee I wonder"... then wow, I can afford a celphone now. Then wow, broadband internet is affordable... Then, wow ok I can't smoke here? Non-smoking everywhere? Then... oh I can't say what I think anymore or I get canceled... um... ok 3d printing is cool. What are we going to print? Oh... warhammer figurines. Oh gee, that's fucking boring. OMG blockchain BLOCKCHAIN bros!!! Then wow, lets get scared of the common cold and live in a post-apoctalyptic omega-man existence. Now it's, gee I wonder how auto-complete on steroids aka AI will change the world? Protip: it won't. In USA we have slow trains, crumbling infrastructure, runaway obesity, people busting their ass at work 60 hours a week for what looks like more money but factor in inflation and it's like nobody got a raise. So, call me Korben Dallas bro, I'm super unimpressed. I wonder what the future will hold: jackshit or virtual jackshit, take your pick. Even the conspiracy theories are boring these days, that is if they aren't scrubbed off the internet and replaced by dancing AI bitches.
