He thought javascript will go away

JavaScript comes from UNIX culture, not Lisp culture, Microsoft culture, Apple culture, IBM culture, or DEC culture. It was influenced by Lisp, but it's closer to UNIX languages like awk and Perl.

You're missing the bigger picture. There are two kinds of behaviors that create the majority of posts here.

You've got the contrarians that look for the opinion of the month to regurgitate, and then you have the contrarians that realize they're agreeing with other people and so find a new opposing opinion to regurgitate. The virality of that opinion decides if the former group will adopt it and start the cycle over again.

It's disturbing how true this is. I just hate it when I give an amiable, sincere post and this happens. I mean, if you're going to contradict me, at least pretend like you took the time to read the thread--or even just the one post. Sometimes, I feel like it happens just out of sheer illiteracy--yet somehow either too lazy or too vain to just look up the word definition.

I don't understand how everyone can say unironically that this site is better than 4chan. Maybe you don't have the captcha, but that doesn't make the conversation any better, and the conversation on here is basically braindead highschool locker room talk. They're all taking pride in Holla Forums-tier conversations when even /g/ looks down on Holla Forums. Sure, maybe you can say this or that about hugboxes and SJW's and whatever; there's nothing wrong with a little flaming--if you put up a stimulating discussion, but just because there's nothing inherently wrong with being contrarian doesn't make a contrarian retard any less of a retard. But where to go?

Sadly, you're best skimming every community and only interacting with a small group of people worth talking to.

The majority of people in most large communities are worthless when it comes to topics that take a combination of critical thinking and commitment to continual improvement. Most will be stuck as beginners because they can't/won't commit to the same train of thought for multiple days/weeks/months. The rest will get stuck at some arbitrary level/skillset because they've decided it's better to be good at what they can already do than bad at some new endeavor.

Your mistake is thinking all boards are as bad as Holla Forums, which is full of actual pajeets are retards that are too stupid to dodge cuckchan bans. If every board was as bad as Holla Forums I'd have moved on pronto.

not surprised

Holla Forums is pretty fucking shit, but you are delusional if you think this is any worse than /g/. We do not have (or at least, didn't use to have before the recent influx of halfchan imbeciles) shitty smartphone threads, shitty wallpaper circlejerks where people only post screenshots and no rice recipes, shitty "r8 my build" threads, shitty leg shaving threads, shitty CPU/GPU vendor wars threads, shitty battlestation threads...

Technology boards in Futaba-style imageboards are dead. It's like browsing a place as pedantic and elitist as SlashDot, but everyone talks entirely out of their asses. Imageboards in general are on life support anyway, with most people attempting to provide anything of value for the community getting drowned in drama from fellow users who do not like to see anyone succeeding. Nobody no longers produce OC because it is frowned upon, because at some point in time we adopted a culture of lazyness that encourages bringing down those who are onto something with claims of not your personal army (you think Habbo raids would have been possible today? No, it is obviously a personal army request, not a way to have fun with fellow shitposters), baseless destructive criticism for the sake of acting like a tough guy and general assorted drama.

Wrong. I'm not sure why you believe this. There are plenty OC as screenshots posted to this board everyday. I even posted a picture of a simple LED card for Valentine's Day I made yesterday.

You're right. I totally forgot how big my filter was when posting on /g/. It literally filtered an average of 100 posts per board. Kind of ridiculous. 8ch is formulaic and repetitive, but I will admit that a filter that nixes redundant threads would be less effective here. What would be really nice, though, is an image filter for reaction images.

You did?
