Staying away from imageboards as much as possible has been a good decision for me. The constant schizo stuff is just not good for you, even if your brain has a good filter. It's the same like browsing Twitter or reddit all day, you're just hardly gonna read stuff that isn't mentally unhinged and your mind will suck it all up like a sponge. It's the same on here, there's just people who can't handle social isolation without diving into delusions at some point and there is no value in reading their schizo posts on things they don't even understand.

4chan is edge lord central, everyone tries to up each other with insults or provoking content, most users are young 15-25yr and because of its reputation they seem to think they have an image to up hold to. Another theory is psyops on well frequented boards, because the site has more free speech and expression orientation agencies and shills try to control the narrative and sway community opinion. For instance, they want more division on politics instead of unity and keeping anons in the throws of mental illness and circumstance such as crabdom and NEETdom/Hikkis as well as an unhealthy view on people, culture and choices. I'll also add, there isn't much for discussion there intellectually or otherwise, repetitive talking points and basic rebuttals, not so much in depth proper discourse. Finally, I visit frequently enough but I hardly go to /b/ anymore, fuck that board I won't participate in /gif/ either, and /r9k/ is dead. Some other boards are interesting and sometimes fun but 4chan is in decline and has been for years, I know other forums have fuck all traffic so going there for chatting seems too tedious but it is what it is man you reap what you sow

That was too much for me however and I had decided that enough was enough and that it was time to permanently stop visiting the board.

there is an invisible element somehow embedded into the html code that underlies 4chan and 4channel (all boards) that induces progressive psychosis. even the users themselves openly say culty things like "you can never leave" and their brain-enslaved fellows may be seen seconding their addiction with similar statements. i have gone from spending time searching through many different websites at length, and then, with a complete diversion of my attention, ventured onto 4chan, and reliably within 15 minutes, I feel worse with a mind freshly led into daze. there are high-level psychological operations being carried out over there, and such activity is not limited to the perceptible shifting outer layer of honeypots like pol, but is woven universally through the coded fabric of the boards themselves.

You can literally create your own imageboard. Stop being lazy and create a text or imageboard of your own.
Just ask GPT\Perplexity:
"Please give me detailed, simple instructions for creating my own imageboard\textboard."
GPT-4 will give you highly detailed instructions, it can explain any concept your don't understand, it can even code for you. You can even have it take you through the process step by step.
Now, if you're REALLY unable to do this, find an imageboard that you like and contribute to it in meaningful ways, create nice threads, share good ideas, help other people, or contact the admins for ways to improve the site. If you find interesting people online, contact them and ask them to post once or twice on the board and give it a try. If it's a nice culture they might stick around a bit.
No culture is forever, everything is in a constant state of birth, growth, flourishing, decay, death, etc. Focus on the growing part.
GPT-4 can code practically anything for you, even a non-coder can produce things with a bit of trial and error. We could be experiencing a renaissance of online culture right now assisted by these LLMs. Instead people are sitting back and letting them devour us.
Forget 4chan and build your own culture.

It's already possible to have these LLMs do a reasonable enough "rating" on the quality of comments on imageboards, it wouldn't take much effort at all for Wizchan to implement a system where if "combativeness" or "disruptiveness" levels in a comment were detected to be very high, the user could be notified that they have to revise their comment. OR the comment could be allowed, but the rating could be displayed in the comment for other users to know what comments to gloss over, which comments are attempts to disrupt.
It would be easy to implement this with GPT right now, but with more effort a locally installed agent like Llama2 could be used to create a solution that wouldn't require submitting the comment off-site.
It would greatly elevate the level of discourse, without necessarily censoring anyone.

No.307729
>>307727The system I'm proposing isn't anything like reddit. Other than on /b/, most of the other boards on 4chan had their own rules, r9k had the robot that filtered speech and images.
The owners of an imageboard can use the system to FILTER the absolute worst, trashiest comments that don't add anything of value to the debate. That's no different than Wizchan having its 'Global Rules' which already includes a rule like "Do not submit low quality, inflammatory or off-topic posts."
It can also be used simply to present information to other users about the LLM's assessment of various dimensions to the comment. This is not the same as people voting up or down comments, as it wouldn't necessarily affect visibility of comments or where they appear. This thread would exist exactly as it does now, but perhaps to the left of the post number you might have a clickable\expandable element "Comment Rating", or perhaps in some cases where one factor was particularly pronounced, you could have something more prominent, for example your comment
>>307727 could be labelled "This comment has appeals to belongingness".
Or, as I've already said, the user could simply be warned of that before posting, the moment you hit submit, your comment could have read "Warning: our system has rated your comment as moderately appealing to belongingness, please re-consider what you're posting", and you could perhaps edit it again before posting it for real. Maybe you would ignore it, but for others who are more considerate they might hold back and reconsider and change up their argument a bit. Up to the owners.
Seriously, in response to my comment, whether you agree or disagree with me, does this comment:
>Stop suggesting it for every practical problem you paid shill.Really add that much to the conversation? Is it constructive or is it combative and utterly stupid? The LLM wouldn't necessarily be banning IDEAS or ARGUMENTS from being expressed, the author of this comment could have easily put foward a coherent argument for why they suspect I'm somehow in the employ of OpenAI or whatever.
The LLM could rate comments on a variety of factors. Here are some that I think are important:
-Belongingness (don't post Pepes\Wojaks, don't say "Cope", don't accuse others of being reddit or reduce their arguments to Belongingness: Refrain from posting Pepes/Wojaks, using phrases like "Cope", or accusing others of being from Reddit, as well as avoiding reducing arguments to a Reddit vs. imageboard narrative to foster a sense of "us" vs "them." Such behaviors contribute to an unproductive form of groupthink.
Spookiness (Think Max Stirner): Avoid leaning on highly ideological notions such as nationalism or an imagined "duty" to defend a particular race. These ideas are unbeneficial and divert from rational discourse.
Performativity: Encourage authentic expressions and genuine communication rather than conforming to certain personas or engaging in pretenses to fit in. This aligns closely with promoting a sense of belonging based on genuine interaction.
Direction Brainedness: Discourage divisive arguments characterized by labeling others with politically charged terms or promoting binary perspectives on issues.
Hostility & Aggression Rating: It's self-evident why reducing hostility and aggression is essential for constructive discussions.
Gender Indicating: While platforms like Wizchan already have rules against gender indication, it's crucial to remain vigilant against subtler attempts that may occur.
Logical Fallacy: Promote awareness of logical fallacies to help posters strengthen their arguments before posting.
Physiognomic Stereotype: Avoid calling people 'nu-male' 'beta', etc.
Gentlemanliness: Encourage respectful and courteous interaction as a means to foster a positive community environment.
Reaction Amplification: Discourage the habit of reposting content from mainstream media or social platforms and instead promote original discussions exploring issues and ideas in their own context. This helps avoid the domination of pop culture, news cycles, and e-celebrities on imageboards.
Sexualization: Limit sexualization to appropriate contexts to maintain the focus on substantial discussions.
Cuck Posting: (Self-explanatory)
Doomposting: Although subject to interpretation, it's essential to manage doomposting to prevent an overly negative and low-energy atmosphere, except in certain contexts where it's relevant.
Linguistic Quality: Encourage well-articulated posts to enhance the overall quality of discussions.
Now only a few of these are things you'd actually want to use as a basis to block a user from posting. Primarily Hostility & Aggression, Sexualisation (in the wrong places), Gender Indicating. The rest though could be used to help posters improve their posts, or help readers avoid wasting their time or instantly pick flamers\trolls\shitty people to ignore. Many may simply ignore these guides, but they could be helpful for those who want them, and might elevate the quality of conversation.
It can be automated so you post a comment, and it would take only a second or two if using a faster model.
No.307730
>>307729Yeah, that's reddit, but may be even worse. Posts there are filtered through a predictable hivemind, you are just proposing doing that through an AI. Filtering posts through format is miles away from having rules about the content. Also, "belongingness" is part of wizchan, and even so you are setting criteria on what belongs and what doesn't, just using your own personal criteria as its basis.
>Really add that much to the conversation?It does make its point. It's direct and followed by a vocative, but there's nothing wrong with that. It was even the basis on which you posted your own idea.
>combativeUsing an insult is less combative and aggressive than trying to undermine local culture. Still, nothing wrong with being aggressive. I hope that at least you aware that, had a similar system been implemented here, your posts would be more likely to be filtered than mine, and probably even than his.
>Doomposting: Although subject to interpretationAll of them are, really, and the classical wizard userbase would interpret mostly against you.
>Linguistic QualityWell, that might filter Indians and Brazilians, so you may have a point about everything.
No.307733
>>307730> Posts there are filtered through a predictable hivemind, you are just proposing doing that through an AI.No, the site owners determine everything. Already, the owners of Wizchan can and would delete (or ban someone for) some limited comments under some conditions. If someone today posts a comment bragging about having a girlfriend and having amazing sex and claiming that Wizards are losers, I imagine the comment would be removed OR the user would be banned, correct? So the owners can use the AI for better 'filtering' in that sense, I'm not proposing increased censorship, the owners of an imageboard determine what's acceptible, what the minimal bar is, and in some instances a high degree of combativeness\hostility\aggression might not be tolerated. AI does the filtering or even pre-filters for a human reviewer to consider. It would also be handy for filtering things the owners wouldn't want on the site for legal liability reasons, like people threatening violence or posting links to CP or something.
>It does make its point…This comment just throws out a lame accusation of me being a shill (meme behaviour from /pol/) without even giving any specific argument or reasoning. It's essentially worthless. Should it be "hidden" or "deleted"? I wouldn't miss it, but we don't need that, if we had the LLM system trained, it could be rated a certain way, and I could personally gloss over it based on its rating, which saves me time and effort, and keeps discussion productive and meaningful.
>All of them are, really, and the classical wizard userbase would interpret mostly against you.This list is meant as a suggestion of ways to rate comments on imageboards in general, so not limited to Wizchan. Obviously these suggested ratings don't need to be applied all the time on every site or every board. Also, the ratings are again NOT meant to censor anything, its just meant to passively encourage higher quality posting.
Again let me emphasise - this isn't about censorship, it's about CONSCIOUSNESS. Like tapping ourselves on the shoulder every now and then to remind us to "elevate the conversation". Most of what we write here is going to end up feeding SOMEONE'S LLM because I don't think there's any way to prevent that, there are people chewing up conversational data all over the internet. We're going to face more issues as malicious actors could use LLM's to essentially "spam" sites like this with completely fake content. In theory RIGHT NOW it would be possible for me to start posting as multiple personas on here and build up entire fake threads of fake posters and so on. Probably nobody right now will go to the effort, but if we don't work on improving the quality of discussion and welcoming as many real Wizards as possible, we'll find ourselves disconnected and alone.

People with money and power have access to certain capital which allows propaganda to be spread. If you think about it, the most likely place for it first to appear is somewhere like 4chan where there are no accounts so people can't track who is posting what. It makes it the literal easiest way to disseminate propaganda without being seen. You don't need to build up a bunch of accounts and have them pretend to be real people for a while before you start shilling, you can just start shilling right out of the gate and no one will ever catch on.

The vaccine may have something to do with neurologically enabling the illusion of an alien invasion. I hope none of you took that poison.

1. posting mode
if you want to be part of a disscusin to get the (you)s, you have to go to the catalog and look at 2 things: the title and image, if they are good quality, you enter the thread. then you have to look at how long the tread is, and calculate how long you think the thread will stay up. and look at the post(look fast trhought the post, do not read theme), if the post are thick and other things, that seems like a good thread. then go and talk in the tread. or if it is a image generating thread, just look at it, and judge if it is a good place to post. and then post.
2. lurk mode
if you are just lurking and just want to see good opinion, then you go to the FUCKING archive and use the search function there.

>>315619The quantitative difference on pol is phenomenal. Before the spam and targeted demoralization was so massive many people were starting to question whether the site had a future. Now it is full of maga campaign people and has nearly as much energy as 2016. I actually wonder if someone paid hiro to outright ball and chain the spammers because the job was so thoroughly done

>>315624>>315619chart doesn't designate the number of targeted attack shit threads that were being spammed in the catalog. It has gone down significantly, before I would go through 4-5 different blatant demoralization attacks just to check out the catalog. Now it's like 1 or 2, generally ineffective as well since the jannies seem to be aggressively anchoring that kind of crap.

>>315619Your image shows a sharp drop and clear downtrend from July till now. Considering that we're a few days away from the election, which is /pol/'s 4-year peak in post rate, and the posts/day amount is the same as back in May, I'd say that's clear indication that the post rate was being inflated by bad actors and is now organic. Considering the context, your image is proof that the anti-spam system was effective

>>315705I think the decline is that when millennials aged out zoomers went to other social media. So there wasn't a bulge population of newfrens to keep the thing going. It's the same reason why 8 and wiz are in relative decline as well, not enough fresh blood producing basic informational content. Imageboards could end up like BBS.

>>3033534chan is arguably among the worst forms of value added content in conversation. You can make the most elaborate op in the world and on most of these boards you're getting a complete crapshot of whatever comes out in terms of returning value. And at the same time people will incrementally act more and more like disruptive jackasses for the hell of it. Which means on most of these boards you're still better off talking to a reputation based community like reddit. Sad but true. The only value on 4chan is seeking out the rare 80th percentile of value-added posters who actually know a great deal on subjects, and just happen to piddle off information here and there like gold nuggets in the rough. So just use the archives and search your keyphrases. Don't actually talk to them for more than briefly, that's a negative investment for returns. And don't browse for more than 30-40 minutes a day, because the catalog is just as bad. You might get a general sense of what's happened in the day or on social media skimming them. You won't learn specifically much of anything
