Will new /poner/ friends stay here on /mlpol/, even though /mlp/ is back up?

>>8159To most, 4chan was their first imageboard. The concept of a chan would be alien to people who only use jewtube, kikeberg etc.
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/
>>8161Babby'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.
Why would I want to go back to cuckchan?
>>8168>mIRCI miss those days.
>social mediaOne of the worst possible things to ever exist. Capitalised by israel for the purposes of control.
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.
>>8229I 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.
>>8307I 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.
>>8391I'm getting #Deca.Mare vibes.
>>8391I admire your ability to stick with #Deca.Mare. That is a very impressive length of story.
>>8391Oh 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.
>>7808I'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.
>>7808Only if I can post about Wild Manes.
>>8860i mean there is a thread here about it
and here
https://nhnb.org/fim/res/28735.html I've been stopping by every now and then :)
Gotta help keep the tamers thread around, after all. See you this friday!
>>8865I watched 20 seconds of tamers. I would like those 20 seconds back.
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.
>>8930I 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.
>>8943Welcome 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.
>>8944Lyra 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.
>>9024This 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
>>9024This 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.
>>9024Many 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
