>>7808 Nah, I hate politics obsessed amerimutts, you fags are insufferable. Says the guy who previously promised "fuck you degenerates I'm staying on NHNB"
Only if Lotus actually does something about obvious bad actors. An anarchistic anonymous image board no longer works in the current day and age. Fair TBH
>>7811 Since it's exodus time, let me spell something out for you. The only way you get moderation that responds to bad actors in the blink of an eye is with Ninjaz. No offense, but no one is quicker to throw out deletions and bans. Which is the problem, because legit users get caught in the crossfire. Trust me, this formula - while not immediate - is well-tuned. Report bad actors, hide their posts, and have a little patience please.
>>7808 I will check up on the site now then, same with NHNB. Also, it's a good time to make people aware that they don't have to tolerate 4chan anymore because it's not going to be getting better, not without getting rid of the whole staff
They are probably gonna leave. Back when Anonfilly was allowed back on /mlp/, all the fillers returned like in an instant. I remember it because it was so fast. Like snap your fingers and the thread was dead. Which is fine. The truth is that our board doesn't have the same level of engagement as 4chan does. During this period we have had way more engagement than we usually do but even if that were to remain now when 4chan is up again, which is unlikely, we will still not be able to compete with them in that aspect.
>>7821 Of course friend, but don't feel limited. More stuff is gonna happen on /mlp/ than here, is my prediction (just my opinion, maybe I'm wrong). Not trying to be all blackpilled but I am trying to be realistic.
>>7808 Only retards would be stupid enought to go back to that oppresing site. After everything no one should go back to 4chan we should have let it die.
I will first wait for the shitposters to return there and get busy with shitting up the front page with their garbage, so I can enjoy threads with Anons in here in peace.
>>7897 >Just don't think about it >It never happened, what are you talking about >Wait, why am I talking with a ghost, (You) don't even exist >Deleted Typical 4chan...
>>7808 I was an occasional lurker on this site even before 4chan shit the bed, but I've enjoyed being a bit more active here for the last 10 days. I'm planning to stick around. I like it here. I hope others will stay too.
For anyone who's sticking around, we do a movie night on Fridays if anyone wants to join. Details will be posted later in this thread: >>>/mlpol/377109 →
First warn, >Thas racis moderation is more reddit as it returned. Who predicted this? It feels like /poner/ is going to be the free speech of /mlp/ if new rules still get rolled out while /mlp/ goes into the derpiboorumode.
I don't even know if Aryanne's style posting could even be tolerated under the new top down /mlp/ things do not look good for the homeboard
>we pay This site is >ahem self-owned, and self funded throughout ooooh, that gives me an idea means that need no elaboration.
It is moderated by a team that has been a team for the better part of - if not the entirety of - THE TIME HIRO AND THE WHOLE OF 4CHAN MODERATION WAS PISSING THE SITE AWAY. Sorry, I seem to still be a smidge upset about it
>>7961 Here are some moar. I didn't make these but skimming the nu-nu 4channel ban list >3day for complaining >3day for complaining >3day for off topic >3day for filter evasion >3day for disrespectful
Special Olympics! >Anons trying to get banned >People who absolutely need to sperg out at everyone test to see how much of a sperg they can be. >Autobanned After being able to freely call everyone on the board a barbienigger who doesn't suck eachother off, this was inevitable.
As mentioned in >>7977 , we have a weekly Watch Party happening now and for the next 4-6 hours. It's pre-made pony fanmedia programming, then an episode of Farscape, and then some shorts, shows, a movie, and then pony episodes. Then it's usually freeform.
Tonight's theme is "Constellations", and I hope you'll swing by.
At this all people that return to 4chan should be rewarderd by being call retards and the darwin award for there stupidity of not learning from the past. They could have make this site the mlp home but noo nostalgia call back to 4chan. I say this fuck them and let nature take his course.
>>7989 It was /poners/ /trash/like anarchy that killed the momentum, if there was more order then they would stick around. Can't say the refugees didn't try to bring a change to fix it, but it's still anarchy
>>7990 >if there was more order then they would stick around What kind of fantasy land is this? The reason nhnb fell flat is because they have a bunch of rules that stifle discussion, and /mlp/ wasn't exactly known for quality moderation. The freedom is what let the board grow. It just needed/needs a cultural adjustment because people are so used to overbearing moderation browbeating anybody they don't like.
>>8006 >4cuck is back? I didn't even notice. I was expecting a month an a half of waiting. Still, I spend my imageboard time here and only occasionally visited there, so I'm unaffected.
I don't want to go back. The slower speed here was much more comfy and any thread that interested me on /mlp/ in the last few years inevitably devolved into baitposting and shitflinging. Maybe if something big is being organized back on the clover's pony board I'll swing by to lurk and catch up. But my mental health has massive improved and I'm not hyped on trashing it again.
I think we have throughly tested the levels of free speech, as what is artistically allowed in this board, and responsiveness in posting to say that shall be the main MLP place to be. Alternatively, we must be accounting what also have been exposed about 4chan leaks. We know who their moderators are, we now know their staff, that privacy there is an illusion, how they keep information on anons with (notes) per users. Moot fucked 4chan with the gamergate, it was also obvious with chanology, reorienting the discourse.
I'm honestly almost disappointed 4chan is back up because now a bunch of people will leave, activity will go back down again and this site will go a bit closer to being a ghost town again. I don't wanna leave. I'm stubbornly staying here until it gets so slow that I start forgetting to check back.
>>8098 I'm glad many are promising to stay, but nevertheless a bunch of people WILL leave, that's inevitable. And as the board slows down, more might also leave out of boredom or such. Like I said I'll stay as long as I can but it's unrealistic to expect that we'll be able to continue going at 1-2k ppd with 4mulp back up.
Next we should make them homless retards go back to complain we where not welcoming to them then go back to 4chan to bitch that their site is unjust. They thing we are the faggots and tranny but the one acting like that is them. What they need is to touch grass and get vitamin D.
>>8124 No. Maybe you weren't there, but homelessness is a horrible feeling that Mlpol is born from. It isn't a nice feeling. Are there anons who have stayed here and are ungrateful and shits? That was priced in from the beginning. It isn't about anon being respectful or appreciative, or anything of the sort; it's about doing right by OUR (yes, I said our) people. Anons WILL WONT to forget the past week or so, but they can't undo that it happened.
If you want to make a difference, just keep visiting the altchans, and stop posting on 4chan unless strictly necessary. If you create content, only post it on the altchans. Don't bother announcing it on cuckchan, they'll ban you. Just post OC only on the altchans. Soon people will notice they are missing out by just visiting /mlp/ and keep visiting the other sites.
>Altchan altchan altchan altchan >Main chan main chan main chan main chan the internet is full of newfags what the fuck is a 'main' chan? It's a chan, but newfags have this 'centralized' mentality where PLACE is 'the' place. I hope the next generation is smarter about this.
I remember seeing a retard say he wanted to be able to shit on the catalog with stuff like SAY HIS NAME xDD but I can't find the post, was it here on mlpol or nhnb? in any case this is the sort of subhuman who won't stay, even if they could post it on /sp/
>>8161 Babby's first social media was mIRC, for some of us anyhow. I bypassed MySpace, and in 2020 I dumped Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and even LinkedIn because the intensity of stupidity and enshittification became unbearable. This place seems pretty comfy though.
I'm disinclined to take off since cultivating a list of fallback chans is something I've meant to do for a long time. That said, the lack of rapid discussion means I'll refresh less, which turns into forgetting, which turns into keeping the tab but not loading it after a browser restart, which turns into bookmarking it to clear space two years later and then forgetting it until the next panic and hoping the link is still valid when it's next needed. If anything, I wish I knew enough about browser shit to whip up an addon or even some just kind of local HTML file that would use inline borderless frames to create an over-catalog of sorts from multiple sites' topical boards. Then I could have the usual day-to-day 4chan house fire to keep me occupied, but also see when threads get updated elsewhere all in one tab.
>>8161 >The concept of a chan would be alien to people who only use jewtube, kikeberg etc. Yeah, I know why they do it. I'm just frustrated is all.
>>8229 I think you're using the chans way too much, anon Maybe consider reading books instead, it's better for your mind, and it becomes fun after you get used to it.
>>8307 I already read more than anyone else I know. It's not unusual for me to spend an entire weekend reading. Time spent on imageboards is more like action reading to break up the pace of static reading. To give an example to set the groundwork here, when the internet first became a thing I found out about search engines, and looked up Final Fantasy. I was greeted by page after page of fan sites and guides. And that meant I had to read ALL of them, in sequence. The sheer enormity of the task, even back then, was daunting to the point of meaninglessness. But the site I didn't view might have had one more piece of fan art, one more secret or guide, so they all had to be consumed. This continued until I'd gone long enough without seeing something new that I considered it reasonable to mark my cataloging as acceptably complete.
Back to the main point. I read, a lot. Not just for knowledge, but for the stories. I have to chronicle everything. All the information, all the worlds, all the characters, all the opinions, all the philosophies; that means I must read it all. This includes the smarmy cavalcade of shitposts on a chan, because even there you find nuggets of truth or amusement.
>>8391 Oh my, you too? Sorry, I thought you were just another anon hooked on the 'boards. I understand the static vs active reading thing very well; Books are nice, but they aren't the same as reading something on the internet.
>>7808 I'm going to be around. Maybe this place isn't as active as /mlp/, but is more honest and it has a real feeling of community. Necessary in these trying times.
For some reason I haven't felt like posting on 4chan anymore, though I'm still lurking a couple of generals I was a regular in for a while. But at the same time I have also not found myself posting here either unfortunately. The split is just making me distance myself from imageboards for some reason, even though I didn't really intend for that to happen.
>>8930 I been a heavy lurker for years, with few posts far and between It really slaps you in the face when something large happens where you're confrontated with the post quality nowadays and how little substance there really is there. But still, I lurked, for the rare gold, the rare prompt that would get me to write, even if for no (You)s. There's still a few places where fags seem like they don't want to touch, or when they do, they get bored and leave not long after, but it really is saddening to see the state of the board and how much you need to look past/through to find the rare gem.
>>8943 Welcome to an imageboard where shitposting is king. Complaining will not help you and chan culture obviously is not your flavor. So, you may enjoy some other venue.
>>8944 Lyra is the queen of shitposting That pic is literally me finding it endearing, happy to partake in the old stuff with the creativity and all it had around, and then the now, where that is all she became, shitpost after shitpost, with little really in-between. Ironically, I have no home but the chans. As tiresome as "Lyra" may be, she's still the one I always go back to...
Was pointing to the other Anon how I felt myself, seeing him feel the clash of a happening just like I did years ago. Do tell, where I'd enjoy if chans is not my flavour. And don't dare you tell reddit or dicksword, faggot. Where are fags as honest and forwards to call things shit as they see it? even if even that is slowly disappearing and fake 'feel good' posts now slowly creeping in, especially for artfags. At least greenninggers can be content that (You)s usually have time put in to enjoy, although I feel that usually the (You)s are even more empty in truth Or maybe I'm just as calloused as Bonnie...
I have 0 intention of returning to 4chan or the other parts of the "Triumvirate of Shit" which would be reddit, 4chan and twitter. I was already losing interest in it before the hack but the fact that its unequivocally worse and validated all of our beliefs of the staff sealed the deal for me. Sincerely hoping it gets hacked again in the future.
>>7808 >Anon opens /mlpol/ >Sees that no new posts have been made >Anon closes /mlpol/ Maybe the new internet is not used to the format of old internet where users make the content. That might explain why most other chans are either extremely slow or plain dead; People come here expecting fun and if no artificial fun is inflating the board, they just leave.
>>9024 This is the same thot-mentality that was alluded to during the refugee-crisis. If your mindset is "Amuse me or I walk", then by all means protect your posterior from the exit door-spring
>>9024 This is the thing, that old internet wasn't engagement farming for an attosecond of dopamine hits. You actually to some minor degree, had to put effort into the niche corner or community you visited either with posts or content. Everyones so used to modern 4chan which aligns with reddit and twitter, responses firing off every second with nothing of substance and most of its being said by bots anyways. If it was 2004 and I was trying to talk about the recent LOTR trilogy on some forum, theres no way it'd be 600+ comments within an hour. But everyone wants it to be like that.
>>9024 Many boards off 4cuck take the leaf approach, leave one leaf for the next, if everyone contributes then there will be a pile of leaves to work with. Even with the overboard things are pretty scattered before and after /poner/ was made. you can find normal /mlp/ like threads in /sp/ even among the wave of shitposting
