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.

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.

This will be like "covid" – a total psychological operation that furthers the judeo-masonic control system. The vaccine may have something to do with neurologically enabling the illusion of an alien invasion. I hope none of you took that poison. Remember they can use the "threat" of an alien invasion as a way to hold the population in a perpetual state of martial law, even bombing whole cities and blaming it on the "aliens" as a way to keep the population continually terrorized.

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.

>>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.

Interesting.
I've also long since believed the discourse of a 'schizo', well, what people like calling 'schizos', exactly like you pointed out, are actually more potently capable of effecting the brain better than anything else, programming it to think in certain modules.
You say wizchan is the same, but I would like someone to give a more concrete comparison between, say, what you feel after browsing (and internalizing) /dep/ and the other wiz boards, and browsing 4chan's /pol/ or others.
Well, it's anecdotal, but I knew a couple of normal guys who went unhinged after /pol/. PHD's and linguists study the site and start feeling shitty and lunatic after doing it long enough
Guess the brain's evolution didn't select for navigating oceans of data and thousands of rapidly conflicting opinions. People like coherency and positive simple thinking. Certainly not the channers who are prophets of killing standard worldviews.
Just how much is a life changed after visiting 4chan, wizchan, or any other chan?
No.317691
>>317669Not that guy, but consider:
false information, however trivial, will likely be retained at a surface level and can be exploited obliquely. Saturate someone with ten thousand tiny errors or intentional misrepresentations that they aren't paying attention to, e.g. "Coconuts Don't Migrate", and you prime them to be "shocked" or perhaps better "jolted" by a big vivid idea which casts their old misinformation into doubt. E.g. coconuts were not native to the majority of tropical islands they are found on, and legitimately do float over the ocean to grow and flourish in new territory. I made that up.
The reader is forced into a different mental state - likely becoming more suspicious and hostile. Even at this tiny level. Imagine what intentional and practised thought engineering looks like, not even mentioning The Algorithm. Even offline you'll meet folks who effortlessly live in that mindset of immediately provoking a reflex to what and how they communicate, which most of them will use to their advantage or amusement.
If we assume determinism - that free will is a joke not everyone is smart enough to get - then _everything_ affects the mind, some more than others, and without a constructed and intentional filter (and consider who would design and teach how to use such a thing - and what their motivations might be) and you wind up with justified paranoia and some form of mental malfunction.
No.317708
>>317669Probably a lot. I read a statistic that less than 1% of visitors to any site actively contribute anything. Over 99,5% are passive consumers looking to pass time.
When I did use Reddit (sure, shoot me) I realized my random brain fart posts had +100k viewers in 12 hours and of those, about 1000 upvoted, and 100 posted a comment.
An imageboard or reddit regular who can formulate half-legible sentences has a disproportionate amount of mental influence on ordinary minds.
Remember, even if you don't actively "follow" the confent you read or see, it does stay in your subconscious forever and shapes your thought processes.
People on wizchan always joked about glowies and CIA agents. But I'm stunned by their inability to see this larger picture of indirect mind control.
They just flat out discount anonymous spaces as "a few weird otakus spamming anime pictures and lamenting their loneliness" without realizing hundreds of millions of people passively read these spaces.
Anonymous political discussion boards and the ideas/memes they spawn are one reason why Trump was first elected in 2016.

>>317669I reckon, following the examples of
>>317691 and
>>317708, a follow up is necessary.
An anthropologist called Edward Sapir would establish something called 'linguistic relativity' throughout his time, in which he posited, not unlike Orwell, that language establishes reality, and not the other way around. Now, where the two differed, and what makes Edward more peculiar, was in his suggestion of what it takes to better achieve conditioning.
He would explore, in a way, where precisely a gap in the cognition of people really existed, something that could better be the target of exploitation, and this he believed had to be there, an unalterable hole-element of the psyche, a 'backdoor' not unlike ones in actual programs where hacking could transpire.
So, to him, the brain was actually a deliberately defectively designed organ.
Again, throughout life, in his studies, he determined- that the overwhelming many were in 'too great a constant flux of accepting rights and wrongs', repeatedly changing views, until the capacity to 'do it' would altogether extinguish, whereupon a person would become 'flat'. Yes, the ability to discern in and of itself, like plasticity, is of limited ammo, and its availability would be directly proportional to ones verbal intelligence.
He claimed, therefore, that exposure to excessive education and opposing views don't actually strengthen the ability to extract proper truths in one, but instead accelerates the process by which a person becomes 'flat'.
To that end, the production of a more servile persons would only require their exposure to as much information as possible, irrespective of whether its content would be hostile to the experimenters objectives.
You see, after all, a 'flat' person, no longer able to possess an internal scrutiny, having exhausted the ability to do so, defers to the authority of what a group conceives, even if intuitively he might consider it wrong, and more importantly: he reduces entirely the ability to enact on that which he naturalistically knows, owing to interacting with his potential truths in a manner intangible. Ideal doesn't even attempt stepping into the threshold of reality.
Too much information inverts the intended purpose of informing.
At any rate, this and some other musings are all beside the point of this messages interest.
Edward Sapir, ultimately, thought of language like a virus, and as effective as it was in coordinating thought, it needed what all viruses need best: an external medium, a vehicle for its transmission, for just as a human coughs and spread, and many too an other innumerable way do viruses scatter, language had to have something similar.
To that end, he would combine (and uncover) it with things tangible and intangible, looking for the best vehicle; music, flashes of light, gestures in a person… and of course, images too. Pictures. Drawings. Paintings.
Here, a few realizations were made, but I'll omit them in prioritization of the primary point.. again.
Out of all the 'vehicles' most compatible with spreading the virus of language, he realized… images were most perfect, in fact so agreeable that it should've been obvious, that of course its presence would compensate the absence of an inability to visualize what might be suggested by words, yet not so clear.
Above all, given associative thinking, an inherent framework cognition operates in, and an image being easier remembered explicitly (consciously vs sub-consciously) rather than implicitly, the virus called language would have everything it needs to both hit its intended target, and nestle in long enough that it could no longer be uprooted.
And so, while he couldn't possibly know it in his time, he would, bluntly put, warn against the threat of image boards: an interesting domain that synthesizes imagery, and language, electing to coordinate their fusion in a very engineered fashion.
Such a combination would be the necessary components required to break into -and past- the brain's backdoor.
The defection lied there.
While Reddit selectively dulls your ability to entertain what it considers disagreeable, and diminishes your range of thought, because it basically promotes newspeak, 4chan and other chans attack and really distort character itself, such that rather than 'dulling', choose to explicitly repudiate, or instill, given notions or ethos in totality.
That is why a black Sudanese person can visit /pol/ and become a white nationalist who shoots his school in fervent protection of the Aryan race.
Or why the language of zoomers escapes into their professional and actual life.
Or even why entire several cultures exist.
Even if determinism doesn't exist from the get-go, you're eventually taken to a lane subscribed to its effect by visiting especially 4chan, and many places across the net.
Mental pollution is definitely contagious.

>>317708I guess it is quite evident you use reddit lol. Would've thought so even if you didn't say it, you know, with the decision to use the term 'brain fart', the spacing, the choice of words…
That's fine I guess, and well, as Yuri Bezmenov said, indoctrination and subversion don't really care about your awareness of it, when at any rate you'll be subject to its manipulation and transformed into a demoralized agent. Everyone who watched the guys interview and thought "I'm safe now." is probably being controlled, one way or another.
There's no such thing as winning against any 'forces', or any 'battles' taking place, because they -the people in control- exist in an indefinite state of victory, and have won everything, and will do whatever they desire with impunity, which makes me wonder why /pol/ or anyone everywhere screeches so much at 'owning' their perceived opponents.
What are you happy for? a façade of a victory they've given you for entertainment? a fabrication of a loss?
Seriously, from the perspective of the top who looks down on humanity, everyone must be a literal retard jumping whenever they play a beat, even the people expressing anger at doing so. In fact that type probably jumps the highest.
It's just brainwashing all the way down.
You call out names, and feel smug in doing so, but you're the same retard dancing to the same song every retard is.
It's impossible to even think of a life that doesn't have propaganda in it somewhere, and that's how you can accept, and raise the white flag.

I think people often forget the agenda 2030 shit is no joke. As much as I hate the prospect of it happening, tell me why would both powerful people and users themselves insist on being anonymous on the internet? For power and control structures it's obvious why, but for users it's a more nuanced situation. Much has been said about how 4chan decayed but you have to step back and think for a second what kind of user is attracted to anonymity in this day and age. There's just… no growth, or change.
This is why all altchans eventually die from inactivity. 4chan had that and that made it unique. I think that will happen is they will keep 4chan offline for a while, then bring it back just right when refugees start settling elsewhere so they keep fracturing the remaining splinters and communities more and more.

>>318078That's great news. It means 4chan is too irrelevant for anyone to give a shit about our dox.
No.318086
>>318074That's not how hashing works. It's a "one-way function" i.e. a function where it's much easier (less computationally expensive) to get a result than it is to reverse the process and get the input back from the result. There's no keyfile to unhash anything, that would be encryption and not hashing. It's easy to test if an email matches by hashing it and testing against an existing hash, but reversing a hash into email is not really feasible. The best methods for it are only slightly better than brute force. That's why it's more secure than simply storing emails in plaintext. 4chan doesn't need to have any idea about what your pass email is until you enter it into a form field, at which point it can hash it and check if it matches the hash in its database to let you log in as a pass user.
That said, if the website really was as outdated as everyone says then it's possible that they used hash functions that aren't very computationally demanding on modern hardware and cracking them will be relatively easy. It's also very easy to cross-check those hashes with other known email leak data.

I'm surprised no one here is discussing the fact that jews are obviously preparing a massive false flag that will trigger a war between ZOG America/Europe and ZOG China. I was just watching the movie "The Departed" a couple days back, and about mid-way through the film the character of the old american police captain is made to say "We will be at war with China in 20 some odd years." This film was made in 2006. We know jews trigger wars based on ~30 year cycles because they worship Saturn.
WW1 – Lusitania false flag
WW2 – Pearl Harbor false flag
Vietnam – Gulf of Tonkin false flag
Iraq – 9/11 false flag
I think the shutting down of 4chan has to do with preventing narrative-endangering analysis of the coming false flag – not just a general tightening of censorial control.

It's not just normies, it's everyone. You go on any forum discussing this right now and they're whining about some nebulous "exodus" that they'll have to deal with in the future. KiwiFarms in particular, they all sound like disgruntled succubi trying to act smug about a recent breakup.
These individuals don't have to romanticize a site known for being autistic and depraved, but maybe they should take a step back and ask if they're genuinely too irony poisoned to realize the long-term ramifications of anonymity becoming an unsustainable prospect on the nu-Internet. Of course, they're braindead and arrogant, so they'd sooner rope than entertain a possibility. 4chan MUST be the enemy to them, even if they used it in the past, or Hell, were using it prior to this hack taking place.
