General Question: does just reading 4chan for longer than 10-15 minutes make anyone feel awful and almost as if placed into a trance state? I can browse other sites for long periods of time without any ill effects, but if I stay too long on 4chan I begin to feel decidedly sick. Why does this happen?

Yes. It's a mixture of deep and not-so deep psyop.

 No.302963

Boards OP is probably reading: R9K, Pol, /b/

Go to 4chan to discuss your hobbies. Depression, chimpouts, and porn are not hobbies.

 No.302969

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.

 No.302976

>>302969
Yes, OP. This wiz has it right. Stop reading 4chan. In fact, I would argue against reading social media entirely. Even the most well-meaning 4channers are unhinged and irritable. There's a level of exhaustion they all feel from being unable to leave the site. Trying to discuss anything is navigating a minefield because one mistaken piece of vocabulary can set people off. It's not worth it.

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

Yes I know this is a site for mental illness doesn't change the fact that the glowniggers want to keep you trapped in your own head. You could argue they target crabs and losers but the more men who are like this they can spin the narrative, for example, shooters or more moderation on hate/free speech, they took down crabs on reddit. 4chan is basically a porn exposure site not including blue boards of course and the mental illness of users tend to frequent red boards where it is pushed a lot

FUCK THAT SITE

I hate how so many threads are provocative VERY thinly veiled rage bait posts with wording that pisses me off.

You can tell right away from the post what kind of reaction the OP is expecting.

I thought the hobby boards would be better off but my threads trying to get a serious discussion going got no replies after 5 bumps. Instead it's all just whining about zoomers, succubi, non-white people, leftists and trans and coomer content.

So many people there just love circlejerking and are not interested in different opinions or learning something new. It's just a bunch of dopamine addicts trying to get some short satisfaction from hearing what they want to hear or "BTFO" someone by posting a grotesque Wojack.

I've ceased using the near entirety of 4chan permanently last week after somebody made a meme of me from one of my posts and some charcteristics I had talked about previously. After that I realised I had become too notorious on the board even though it was only five or six people who recognised me from my typing style. 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. I don't enjoy having my existance recognised, I'm a recluse who can only find sanctuary in obscurity. Call it an autistic overreaction but I don't care. After ten years of that place basically being my homepage of the internet I've finally grown too old for it, I felt like the only elder person in a special needs class full of retarded and delinquent children. Time to move on but I don't know where to.

 No.303302

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.

I keep coming back despite being disappointed every time because I can comment on a bunch of threads and then get dopamine anticipating the reply and meanwhile I can refresh the catalog and see several new threads pop up.

But for this reason the site is brainrot. It's a bunch of dopamine addicts trying to get dopamine with the least effort possible by making provocative shitposts with low effort but high engagement.

I just wanted to say that I relate to this so well. I've felt this way for years but never figured out how to clearly describe it.
For me it felt so sudden. It was like, with no warning, one day I was this 30 year old loser surrounded by 17 year old losers who were pretending to be 25 year old losers. Suddenly I was so out of place, there was nobody like me there anymore.
As if everyone else like me got some secret memo that it was time to go home, but for whatever reason, I never got the memo, so I just kept showing up to the retard-club, not realizing I was no longer welcome there.

Just wanted to say that I know the feeling as well but towards the internet in general. 'Where to' is an important question, I struggle with it daily. Everyday I sit in front of the computer with that naive feeling I'll open wizchan and youtube and there will something interesting in there. Of course there isn't and at that moment I begin to waste away, browsing mindlessly, hoping I'll come across something to stave off boredom by complete accident.

I used to do photography which is low effort art but I enjoyed the process a lot and posting my photos and talking about them was way more satisfying than anything else.

I also need to vent about something that bothers me with 4chan:

I think being a loner made me not just blindly follow the mainstream and question everything. So when someone voices an opinion that goes against the norm my first instinct is to hear that person out. But all intrigue is lost once I see how the posters argument. It quickly becomes clear that instead of trying to educate others they just get pleasure from imagining they are enlightened in a sea of sheep. They dump their infographics and memes without explanation and ignore tough questions and just call other people names. It's just disillusioning to be excited to broaden my horizon only to read a bunch of shitposts.

 No.303365

that is sadly true, every thread on the big boards is just bating(racebait and porn are widespread on blue boards too) and fishing for (you)'s.
I admit it can be fun to do while getting drunk on a Friday night but only on the fast boards that are already shit and can't be fixed.
Smaller hobby boards are alright because threads are focused on topics unlike other boards like /v/ or /pol/

I genuinely believe the blue boards on 4chan aren't attracting new users and the site is ageing. In retrospect the hysterical concern over newfags and underage was due to the fact that we were mostly underage. Now nobody really gives a shit if a zoomer wanders in.

Apparently on /o/ and some of the more hobby orientated boards, you have people bragging about having a wife and kids. Because that's what imageboard niggers do, they arrogantly brag about things. They arrogantly brag about being NEETs at the age of 19 when it's actually fun being one. They arrogantly brag about being $120,000 full stack engineers at the age of 25-30 when that becomes impressive. And then they brag about having a wife and kids at 35-40 when that's the most important thing for most men.

>Has been and continues to be actively monitored by multiple police and spy agencies and discussed at anti-terror summits, etc.
>Has had Passes for years which allow anyone with dodgy motives to be able to essentially spam for free, it's almost designed to encourage this. The Youtubebuxxer who used a language model to spam the board simply bought himself a pass to do so.
>Is inextricably tied up with the 'meme' cryptocurrencies and there are multiple companies that exist to 'shill memes' on 4chan to promote memecoins.

Where else can you go but /pol/ and sometimes a few other boards for uncensored discussion about important social topics, such as race issues? The succubus question? Reddit is censored to hell, twitter is not a discussion board, Faceberg is jewed, etc. An unfortunate fact of all the censorship/centralization of the internet is if you want actual truth you need to sift through the 95% shit to find a tiny nugget of wisdom on such a place.

How do we create an alternative to 4chan?

I want a board where people are kind to each other and the discussion is high quality and I would probably ban any politics talk.

But how would I police the post quality while maintaining the casual imageboard atmosphere and without fights breaking out over if a certain post reached the quality threshold or not.

I've observed it in other boards. They had high standards but once these were relaxed to make the board more active, low-quality posts started flooding in. It's a delicate balance.

Why craft a smart post if you won't get any response 90% of the time? or if you get a response it's from someone without a frontal lobe?

Here's the thing I realized recently. You really can't ignore bad posts or bad content. People tell you to do it. "Oh just hide it/report it" but human beings *avoid* things which annoy them, not ignore. You can see this from all the people who now have their phones on silent. We don't ignore spam calls, we just avoid them.

Shitty, low-effort or inflammatory content will drive off everyone eventually, regardless of if there's still some good stuff around. Your mind can't filter everything. Even if it could, it takes mental effort to do so , so you're going to unconsciously avoid these sites.

That's what makes me so angry about 4chan. There are elitist spaces where people are very critical which elevates the quality of content as everyone tries to meet the high standards and the people judging you actually have some skills to back up their elitism. On 4chan you have a bunch of idiots who will be negative no matter what and it's not justified or earned as the quality of posts is really low.

I guess it depends on why you use it and what boards you go on.

These days I mainly use 4chan as a sounding board for very particular usually technical questions, to give asked for advice, for writing promps and a place to write very short very shit stories, and most of all for porn. So the only time it makes me feel bad is when a good porn thread gets spammed with gay-op bullshit.

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.

I'm not a fan of ChatGPT or centralised power like that at all, I'm recommending we exploit it to benefit and empower ourselves against those forces.

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.

>>307727

The 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

>>307729
Yeah, 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.

>combative

Using 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 interpretation

> 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.

Nietzsche often evoked an image of a star, no doubt identifying himself with this celestial body. Studying his Arbeitskurve, I have observed that he usually wrote no more than two books per year, often just one. In his last productive year of 1888, however, he "emitted" at least five books, shorter but of high energy. In physics, such high emission of energy is held to occur when the nucleus of the atom is unstable and "the centre cannot hold".

Cosmologists maintain that the dying stars shine the brightest, and perhaps Nietzsche was no exception.

There is definitely some of this going on. There are the same threads being made over and over again on repeat on literally every board and have been for years. There were extremely fishy patterns of posting going on back during the pizzagate/16 election. You could literally tell which threads were being constantly bumped and promoted. It seems to have gotten somewhat more subtle but there is still a lot of content out there designed to demoralize people and condition them to think and act a certain way.

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 people there aren't just that crazy for no reason, like it's all just a big coincidence, they are being actively psyoped, that much is for sure.
