The two largest chat rooms in my country both started going to shit around 2018-2019. When Covid hit and new members flooded them, it was over. No longer possible to have a conversation at all. Everyone just insulting each other, calling others slurs, hating on everything and just being a bitch. Both chat rooms are no dead and gone.
And you can see this everyone online, including here on 4chan. Every single thread on every single board is just hatred, anger and bait.
The ONLY places left are members only specialized forums that kick you out if you act like a cunt.

Is this further proof that the cyberix network needs to become invite only / password protected?

>including here on 4chan. Every single thread on every single board is just hatred, anger and bait.
Is this supposed to imply 4chan was not like that ever since its creation?

I would advocate for your alluding proposal but I do not think I will be such an extremest if these retards, I have witnessed and according to my terms, have not brought beyondyere lengths of retardations yet onto this forum.

>The ONLY places left are members only specialized forums that kick you out if you act like a cunt.

This was the bare minimum of all internet communities at one point. It still should be. Of course, everyone since figured out that time = money, and that means that no one is willing to do something as dull as moderate for free anymore. "It's not worth my time, I could instead be dripfed shillings ragebaiting on xitter and grindsetting ai generated minion videos on tiktok".

But, in doing so, we've all thrown the baby out with the bathwater.

Everyone wants to go back to the way things were, but what nobody realizes is that things were only the way things were because of the people. The uncomfortable truth is that it's not the internet that has changed - it's the people, and that's why everything is so shitty now. The most populated channels in EFNet nowadays are #elonmusk, #crypto, and #goypride. The people populating online spaces have devolved into idol-worshipers, grifters, and sharty-adjacent drones with no true interests or principles of their own. Ideological zombies and astroturfers surround us at all sides.

that's it. they weren't built to endure anything but decay and noise. the moment people stopped caring about actual content, those platforms just turned into echo chambers wrapped in a shell of nostalgia, what's worse is that everyone pretends like they missed nothing. even when forums and chat rooms were still viable spaces for real discussion, half the participants were there to fuck things up before the other half could build something meaningful.

4chan evolved because it was the internet's tool for marginalized groups to build their own space. Hostility isn't its default, it's what the ecosystem forced it to be.

places like this are why newfags keep coming back. the decay is just a sign things didn't work before they got shut down.

I""'m on a forum that used to be half-decent, now it""'s just 90% """delete this post""" spam or fake moderator accounts. Hardcore trolling isn""'t even the worst; the worst is people who don""'t even try to contribute, just hit reply with the same tired jokes. I mean, seriously, why the hell do people still think posting memes without context is funny? It""'s just noise.

4chan's still chaotic but that wasn't the old 4chan, the one where you could just say shit and get some fun replies. Now it feels like watching a video game with all the noise turned up until you can barely hear your own voice anymore.
