This thread is kind of borderline on topic, but whatever. Let's give it a spin anyway.
How do you feel about imageboard culture's "making the site worse for other users with shitposting and trolling should be allowed because freedumbs" views? Are they reasonable or another example of reactionary frozen fruits? Pic unrelated but I'm pretty proud of it, check 'em.
I don't like your thread and I think you're shitposting.

Trolling and offensive material drives away the easily offended.
Aaron Baker
I didn't know imageboard culture had such views but I think they are views I don't share, just gotta shrug my shoulders and deal with it because this is an okay place
Now pls read Zizek

If you're implying abuse of the rules mods do that anyway. Shitposting is going into threads to irritate people when you obviously have no business there, usually going into a thread to whine about how stupid everyone in the thread is. I agree that more generalized smugposting in arguments should be fine but going into threads to disagree with literally everyone else is fucking stupid.
And makes the board worse.
Ebin meme newfag.

reddit plz

Imageboards produce a lot of shit, which you have to mine for the nuggets of gold.
Up/downboats produce enforced consensus where the only ideas you see aren't necessarily brilliant or even factually correct, but everyone understands and can agree to.
Carter Kelly
That's why they're dumb. I'm not promoting that.I'm promoting a little bit of discretion regarding what should be considered permissible, and calling literally everyone on an entire thread or board should not be in there.
Wyatt Peterson
is right on the "Who guard the guardians". A Leninist knows.
Is fun, shitposting? Posadism? Animu? Memes? Is elitism, shitposting? Talking phylosophies like everyone already knows what is talked about? Is non-elitism, posting normie vids and wisecrach and so on, shitposting? Are "Is X Socialism" "What about X in Gommunism" "PoliticalCompass/poll" posts, shitposting? Is it only pol and reddit comming and trying to enforce their opinions by diverting, shitposting?
Define moar.
Christian Miller
Sometimes everyone else is wrong. By your definition any of the great scientists would be a shitposter.
Nothing is worse than a discussion where the status quo is held as sacred. Most of reddit falls into that trap.
Liam Murphy
That's what I'm talking about?

Unless it gets to the point that threads, boards or meetings unusable from irrelevant spam (which is what flood detection and capcha are for) or illegal content (which is what global reports and vols are for), I think shitposting and trolling generally do more good than harm. They keep away the people easily offended by shitposting and trolling, who generally don't contribute a whole lot to the board besides their butthurt. I don't see them as making the site worse. At their worst I see them as inclement weather that only happens in free countries/forums/movements. You can't have one without the other, they come with the territory and are part of how the system is able to function.

Isaiah Campbell
if it's shit like that, just ignore it. Or start making words and phrases auto-verboten like Moot did and Jim does now aparently.
Nathaniel Bell
I agree m8s lets
Nolan Taylor
No.
Holla Forums would actually be okay if it was moderated like /n/ (except not strictly for news).
Logan Hall

It's fine if it comes from within the community. It's another matter if it's b8 from outside communities trying to derail the discussion.
Robert Rivera
Image Board culture scares off the easily offended. It's what keeps Reddit trash like yourself down to a minimum. Oh and keep your incredibly unfunny reddit freeze peach meme to yourself. We happen to appreciate free speech around here. If you hate "frozen fruit" and "freedums" as you call them like an infantile brat, then head on over to Holla Forums or Reddit. I believe they pandering to faggots like you.
Grayson Richardson
just boed NEEts
Wyatt Evans
On leftypol and all imageboards i have the absolute freedom to call you a stupid faggot and no one cares if you leave or get offended and you cant downvote me. Basically its complete freedom and you have to deal with it.
Its perfect to keep out the virtual singilling idpol overly offended at everything idiots like you op, and with absolute freedom comes actual discussion and how people actually feel, i dont need to walk on eggshells hoping i dont offend.
Josiah Reed
REEEEEEEEEEEE WHY ARENT YOU IDPOL REEEEE WHY DO YOU ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT CLASS ISSUES INSTEAD OF THE LACK OF NIGGERS ON GAME OF THRONES REEEEEEEEEE YOU BROCILISTS ACTUALLY HAVE THOUGHTFUL POLITE CONVERSATIONS AND DONT GET OFFEND AT EVERYTHING REEEEEEEE DONT YOU SEE ITS MORE IMPORTANT TO BLAME WHITE MEN FOR EVERYTHING THAN TO FIGHT THE OLIGARCHY REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Jose Barnes
Idon't think there is something wrong with imageboard culture. Even bait threads can be sometimes ending up fun
Jacob Gray
That's not what it's fucking about and you know it.

4chan culture predates the age of sjw's I remember being on the ground floor of 4chan during the rickroll, nevada tan, mudkips, v for vendetta days.
Seems like so long ago.
can you imagine a world where moot never made 4chan to talk about anime? Just nothing but a globalist sjw hellscape.
Normies know 4chan now, but its too late, imageboard technology is prevalent.
