Browsing other hobbyist boards

Every time. I imagine this is what domestic abuse must be like. Am I really just expected to sit there and take it? You know damn well those fuckers would just have had the run of the place uninterrupted. It was only a problem once I disagreed.

I fucking hate this stormnigger hive. Is it really too much to ask to just have someplace to chill and discuss my interests?

no idea how i haven't been banned from Holla Forums yet

Holla Forums is the only decent board on Holla Forums. If it weren't for this board, I would say that this whole website belongs in the trash.

There's also /leftyb/ and /leftyv/ which aren't Holla Forums colonies.

life is suffering

Yeah this site had some potential after the mid-late 2014 4chan exodus.

But it squandered it all away with its crippling site management problems.

Explain this to me, I don't follow.

I feel like people with this mindset haven't actually used other boards in a while. Shitty threads and derails are annoying but everything else is fine because Holla Forums is a minority on probably every board but Holla Forums. /furry/ for example laughs them off.

For the last 2 weeks I've been going back to 4chan, pretty sick of this place. This is the only board I lurk anymore. Form what I've seen Holla Forums shitposting is at a minimum and people either call it out or ignore it.


Holla Forums seems pretty far gone, depends on the days. Holla Forums seemed pretty free of Holla Forums shitposting when I used to lurk it a year ago.

Things have changed drastically.

If you are interested in video games, go to Holla Forums, because I've been noticing more and more people sick of Holla Forums shit. All it takes is to tell Holla Forums to fuck off back there. Don't get in big arguments about race or Islam, which is what they want. Just talk about video games or whatever hobby you have, and tell Holla Forums to fuck off and stop trying to derail.

Every once in a while I wander over there out of desperation

and immediately am reminded of why I left in the first place

Anybody got that "Holla Forums are the new furries/ponyfags" screencap?

It's insane. But thankfully(?), most of those places are pretty trash to begin with.

Can we use this place to share hobbyist boards/forums that are not completely fucking overrun by Holla Forums?
Doesn't have to be leftist places, just places with either proper moderation or a community opposed to Holla Forums-infestation.

The only recommendations I can give are
Although you probably already know about Hackernews, it's the best tech news aggregator out there. The community is not that bad, but it is pretty euphoric whenever discussion gets outside of STEM.
Worst thing about it is that it's a lolbertarian den, so make sure to fucking never open the threads on links related to politics, unless you want to puke.
Been a while since I last browsed it regularly, but the community on lainchan is small enough that Holla Forums doesn't really have a presence. Lainchan is mostly useful for its tech boards.
Was also recommended in the threat about the Kurd offense, but it's one of the subreddits that's worth checking out just because it's such a great aggregation of sources.

Requests:
A proper place to discuss weebshit. Preferably a place smaller than 4 or 8/a/, and preferably a place that's also pretty relaxed about discussing non-weeb topics
Also, post local language forums that aren't terrible.

This one?

You cold come to /leftyweebpol/. Pretty slow though.

(czekh'ed)
Yeah that's the one.
I hope that the comparison with the furries is apt enough to also be predictive.
Hopefully the hype around Holla Forums will die down in a couple years, and they'll retreat back to their containment boards.

I got GG butthurt once

/a/ seems pretty chill

Holla Forums is actually trying to spread their shit on there so hard the owner changed some boards around because of them.
They also act like outsiders so blatantly is not even funny.

/r/linux

I know this is pretty damn unlikely, but I think this is probably the best place to ask.
Anybody here who used to browse the Danish forum Anarkistisk Debatforum while that was still alive? I only learned about it's existence a couple months ago after it had died. What was it like? The only surviving archive is from 2004-2006.

Literally every board is some shade of Holla Forumsyp and has to have threads complaining about SJW's or promoting white this and that and such other things.

Holla Forumsack here.

We are here too.

Be glad it isn't strong as halfchan. Anyone can derail and fuck up threads on various hobby boards quickly.

The low-effort shitposting make it pretty obvious, yes.

We pretty much declare ourselves here.

No need to be afraid.

Reminds me of Voat

At first it was like

Then in a couple of weeks


Nowadays 90% of the content is circle-jerking around Breitbart and other sites who often refer to "non-whites", "culture-war" , "domestic-jihad" , "conservative" and other euphemisms for Holla Forums-on-head retarded ideology

Holla Forumsack here

time to drop some redpills

This is an 18+ website, right?

...

Except for Holla Forums

I used hackernews some years ago and it was awful.

The entirety of the community were rabid corporate bootlick "entrepreneurs" who rambled about the best ways to PR/advertise/"expose" your "grep" fork so that a big corporation would dismissively throw a truck of money your way.
Or buy your "groundbreaking idea" backed by a barely functional proof of concept, so that Corp#12 could patent it in case it turned out there was something behind the hype
(spoiler, there never is, this was their business model).

All while creaming their collective panties over Elon Musk and other corporate figureheads as the "people movers" , "technology advancers" that they are(haha).

General corporate cultism. It felt like the entire site population was PHB level middle managers trying to hype their side projects in the subtler ways they know(not subtle at all).
Most high score comments would contain side remarks about the posters qualification his(totally offtopic) involvement in open source projects and generally read like a badly redacted resume/advertisement for their "startup".

I wasn't all that interested in politics back then but already that site gave me the chills.

...

The problem is that you're engaging in bourgeois interests. Don't be a traitor. Just like stormweenies renounce everything made by DA JOOS and muh fun stuff so must we, too do the same. This is why they have an advantage over us. Let us not be corrupted then.

That's a pretty good description.
But, as I said, if you stay out of the topics on politics and most of the Ask HN threads, you're alright.
Still, I would say that I prefer HN to reddit when it comes to tech news, and there isn't really any other tech aggregators out there afaik.

Holla Forums is the unholy union of a former wizardchan admin and /poles/ too autistic to not use memes out of 4chan.
Don't act surprised, this place is cancer faire and squared and the best thing to do is hoping for it to fall down, pray the admins keep doing harm.

Clearly you are quite new to /a/. The Holla Forums posters would have probably been banned if you had simply reported them for derailment, but instead you foolishly decided to drop down to their level out of impulsiveness.
Are you asking for an echo chamber?

This is a troll.

Care to elaborate on how my post was supposedly "trolling"?

The /a/ board owner is a hopelessly autistic piece of shit. I've been banned there multiple times just for insulting pedophiles. He deletes perfectly decent threads just because the OP picture triggers his autism. I saw a thread deleted just because it had a photo from Crunchyroll.

Look at this newfag insulting pedos on a pedo board.

I dunno, I think you're just autistic

Kill yourself, normie scum.

You deserve it

Wow fuck you. /furry/ is one of the few places that hates Holla Forums.

this

That is a bit of a shitpost tbh. I don't see Holla Forumsyps getting away with such things in the GG thread.

They don't seem to be brainwashed fuckos, if the opportunity arises you could probably broach an anti-capitalist stance with ease, and at least make them allies targeting porkie, since that seems to be one of the main groups they have a hardon for.

Protip: Telling people to read a book outside of /larpypol/ is going to come off as cunty.

I'd say the number one rule is avoiding using buzzwords, at this point using capitalism with pejorative tone flag you as SJW 100 gorillon apologist…

I'm not the one spamming cuck

Socialists have a branding problem and shoot their load too quickly.

Acceptable: Capitalism is a problem
Unacceptable: Shilling for socialism/anarchy/communism

It's not even difficult to deduce what to do here. People need to stop waving their socialist credentials around and just criticise capitalism, specifically the elites with a stranglehold on politics and the media. What alternatives are there to capitalism? Well, who am I to say? I'll let you, the viewer, come to your conclusions all by yourself.

I'm starting to lose my patience with socialism because of this to be honest, the majority of adherents are stuck in times of soviet imagery and fail to see that modern capitalism itself is rife for propaganda, things which Holla Forums can't even touch because it goes against their beliefs too. But that would mean loading up photoshop or illustrator rather than googling old soviet posters on google images for five minutes, and there's bound to still be a commie/anarkiddie wrong on a thread here somewhere!

...

This so fucking much. Every single leftist love soviet imagery, not even just Marxist-Leninists, even people who call it "state capitalism".

I fucking swear if I see one more retard with a photo of Lenin as thier online avatar…

In communism was completely separated from the legacy of the soviets we'd be winning right now

Holla Forums and some smaller boards are nice.

Shame Holla Forums is run by a piece of shit Moot wannabe. Shame Holla Forums has no mods.

Things like this are what have an impact in modern times. How do I know? Because I've only posted it a few times yet I see it more and more regularly. That implies a good spread.

If you lurk a lot create a load of OC and post it a few times, if you start to see it reappearing then that's the sort of stuff people want. I see some of my stuff pop up quite regularly too but so far most of it is Holla Forums specific.

it's nothing new that Holla Forumsacks pretty much have subverted all other boards

hell, they're even on the fucking pedo boards shilling like on serious assburgers

dont forget about >>>/leftyweebpol/
we need some drawfags to make commie parodies of anime grills

/apng/ and /ani/ are pretty Holla Forums-free

Nothing gets past this guy.

I never see any Holla Forums crap on /mu/ come to think of it.

retard

Western shits deserve to be purged.

wew

Kemono is furry, summerfag. Also monstergirl a shit, it's basically furfags-in-denial.

hotwheels clearly bailed on this place.
is he even still alive ?.

Thats called having a terrible taste summerfag.

It's almost like you are on a website built from exiles from 4cuck Holla Forums
You can go back anytime and shitpost on 4cuck Holla Forums anytime, I'm sure half of you dual browse anyway, you are the cancer killing the internet.

Maybe he saw that the poster was promoting porky privately -owned anime distributors instead of taking the redpilled path of free worker-owned torrents?

I came here from Holla Forums. Shame 8/v/ failed to live up to its potential.

There is no escape.

Gulag yourselves.

...

They say alt-righters "won the meme war", though this is honestly becoming annoyingly pathetic that you can't even have certain threads without so fahnny memes that have been run to the ground.
It's like four years ago when people would make fun of Redditors for still never shutting up about dead memes.

I didn't really actively browse it too much, but i browsed it a little. It wasn't really anything particular, since the forum was pretty inactive overall. Some of the anarchists there had some pretty unusual opinions. In a thread about conscription, the majority of the posters came out against abolishing conscription, because apparently a purely professional voluntary army is more likely to serve only the interests of the state and capital then an army with concripts in it (i hope i don't have to explain why that's a load of bull).

...

4/r9k/ has been getting pretty class conscious lately.

Animals are for protein and friends, not for lewd.

Can you give an example?

Very telling, that.

not seeing it anywhere

i'd respect you guys a lot more if you'd own what you are and stop with this insecure internet tough guy trumpshit

Come to /leftyweebpol/.

this place is FUNDAMENTALLY alt-right, just look at dem cherrypicked headlines on the front page

and that's just in jims special news board

Where's that shitty polandball comic which shows british banter and us """banter"""
also nice digits

For the last few months, I've seen lots of threads complaining about decline in board quality, followed by the complimentary "leftypol was never good" memeing. For a while I thought it was overstated, but it feels like it's gotten really bad.

However.
The only boards that aren't 30% + Holla Forums idieo-shitflinging are the ones that barely move at all. And I don't mean /tg/, I mean /ck/ and the like. Even there, you get people bitching about cultural marxism and praising glorious tradition west european cuisine I mean, sure, some of it's fan-fucking-tastic, but let's not get political about food

Holla Forums is the only board I really come here for. And to think I originally visited the place for the sole purpose of being able to shitpost away from the ceaseless unironic fascist propaganda from countless autistic teenagers.

time for you to pick up your brown pill

Speaking as a member of one of the mid-active hobbyist boards, we actually post even more pro-Holla Forums than most of us really feel, just so leftists won't get comfortable and dig in and start suppressing our freedom of speech like they did on halfchan. Holla Forums is like our bug spray that keeps the leftists away.

Ruin our board once, shame on you. Ruin our board twice, shame on us.

you got exiled for shitposting loudly. if it was really because of your fascist bullshit you would've been kicked out a long time ago

Not sure what you mean.

NVM

tbf that probably does belong on polmeta

yeah, ik, i knew i'd get banned regardless but i managed to get a good thread going with over 135 responses

you faggots shitpost all the time

Holla Forums and /fringe/ are the only boards that aren't disgustingly right

No fuck that. Criticising the current system without offering an alternative will just lead people to come up with awful replacements like fascism or primitivism. Divorcing ourself from soviet/maoist iconography is something we need to do though.

Every time.

Fascism is already happening with the alt-right, but we're in luck because they've decided capitalism is the hill they want to die on. Primitivism? Unless Fight Club comes in vogue I doubt we're going to get a load of Tyler Durdens running around.

Do you think that criticizing capitalism will lead to anything close to half of them leaning towards fascism? Most of the issues driving people to fascism are because of capitalism, it's not being explained. If it's explained for what it is, a porkie trick, then people will come to their own conclusions.

Also, even though nobody has replied with this to my post yet, I think it's fine having half of the threads here theory, but when it's nearing to entirely theory and bait with no action it makes the place a joke. This is the only place I've found on the internet that hasn't been subverted by capitalist and liberal interests. If another financial crash happens in the next couple of years, we'll be right back where we were in 2008, with our pants down, nothing to fight back with and we'll spend more of our lives scrambling trying to sort out our own personal issues rather than enacting change.

not sure why everyone here thinks tyler is anprim when he's p obviously flag related especially in the book

His speech about hunting elk from the ruins of skyscrapers was one of his most character defining moments of the film for me.

well he is interested in the idea of violence/sex being some kind of underbelly to everything we do but thats not a necessarily anprim ideal

seriously can someone give me a link to leftyv it sounds like my kind of place

They are even trying to get discussion about anarcism banned there too, threatening to continue the barage of shitposts until it happens.

Are you retarded!?

Holla Forums mods banned a guy for "datamining" when all he did was start a thread with a poll. And you wonder why the rest of 8ch hates you?

Every time.

there aren't any SJW liberals censoring you, much less communists

i seriously cant find it anywhere. tried just putting it in the address bar directly but got 404'd and tried searching for the leftist or video-games tag and found nothing

Good. I hope you continue to get banned.

wew

Except for the tons of lefties who enforce no-platforming and getting people fired from their jobs for speaking certain opinions or refusing to kowtow to egalitarian orthodoxy. Besides that, there is *zero* censorship for members of the right to deal with

Wow, did not expect a response.
Yeah okay, that does sound pretty fucking nutty. I assume a big part of the community was related to BZ-miljøet and ungdomshuset? My parents were a pretty big part of it back in the days, so I've ended up being somewhat familiar with it and some of the people in it.
Are there any other leftist Danish sites for debate?
yeah no
I know SUF has a forum, but it's only for members, and it's SUF.


Ahaha, hopefully site owner isn't complying.
What the hell are they trying to do? Banning anarchism on a cyberpunk chan ahaha.


Yeah, when trying to talk about things that aren't politics it's pretty fucking annoying having autists keep bringing up the jews.
See pic

sorry u cant live in muh basement nazi manbaby fantasy world where your genocide advocation cant have consequences. nothing you said ever actually affects any of you Holla Forumsyps anyway, its all muh hypotheticals based on a thing that happened like once

Isn't /fringe/ where that Smiley fag hangs around

I am staunchly opposed to any kind of censorship. We should be on the same fucking side, but it's abundantly clear that the stormfags on Holla Forums don't actually give a fuck about free speech except where it benefits them.

Seriously, are you going to start smashing up shops and mugging people because "the niggers did it first"? That's how you fucks act with censorship and group-think.

that's exactly how Holla Forumsyps think

You really are a retard


the answer was never Holla Forums shit you dumb fucker, because "leftists" weren't the ones "suppressing your freedom of speech." co, a, v, tg, all the big boards had to deal with teetotal milksop moralfaggots that blew in from gaia or myspace or whatever from day 1, and they didn't have to resort to your faggot polcuck autism to do it. ridicule, staying on topic, and turning up the offensiveness always worked

the ones that "suppressed your free speech" were the shit mods that moot put in. the second inspector niggerwood become mod of Holla Forums it started going down hill. tighter moderation around the site lead inexorably to banned and removing all the offensive, creative, active posters that made the place such a pleasure to post on to begin with

but thanks for helping make Holla Forums and the internet in general a worse place with your shit mirror-SJW moralfaggotry you worthless codpiece. i wish i could kill you in real life for real. worthless shitfucks like you took the internet from me and i would kill every last one of you with my bare hands if it meant getting 4chan back the way it was even for a day.

do the world a favor and kill yourself you stupid fucking dipshit

posting "I HATE NIGGERS" or "I HATE JEWS" used to be done for a laugh, and now these troglodytes are serious. But if you point out the derailing they do on unrelated threads, they pretend YOU are the fool for being upset. Of course, if I see a shitpost I usually ignore it because I know they can only survive if feeding off the patience and anger of other people.

Honestly I'm sick of chan bullshittery as a whole, but I don't have any friends to fill the void.

I love the lies about durr 4chan is ironic, we were all progressive liberals meme XDDDD

The point is that chan culture wasn't really political at all. At most it had a hard-on for annoying groups like the Scientology Church

Holla Forums are the modern incarnation of "we are legion"

yeah this. it was never really ironic. reactionaries were always around. it's just that now that things are changing and the western culture is shifting SLIGHTLY more left, they've taken the opportunity to get loud. people just ignore that the whole alt-right thing fucking quadrupled as soon as gamergate became a thing. they don't want to admit that the right is really that shallow

Not political at all, yet /n/ was so popular, moot has to ban it, only for it to resurfaced as Holla Forums.

...

Theres leftyweebpol

Why did you insult people for being pedophiles?

On a *chan anime board, of all places?

Also, how does that deal with neo nazis?

Fuck off Holla Forums

Basically rebrand yourself as technocratic post-scarcity people who talk about UBI and automation and manna and just ignore the word "communist"?

That could work, but remember S█████ got extremely far by being an open socialist though.

Former zoklet/totse poster here, lel that is still alive

...

whats with this samefaggy pedo apologia

He used to, I dunno now.
