@mint@jihadjimmy Did you see the jewgle keyednote? they're gonna have AI spy on your calls now lmao, they didn't even announce any physical products, just gemini, gemini, gemini...
@NEETzsche@dcc@lina@Looming@p@mint I'm a giganufag, its not that i hate newCHADS (otherwise the site would only contain 40 year olds) but newfags are super easily baited by the most obvious, low tier bait.
nothing can save 4cuck at this point, the userbase is too big and retarded.
I saw this happen in real time to soyjak.party, now its 24/7 bait posted by discordCHADS and trannies and unironic 14 year nazi larpers fall for it constantly, i can only imagine how 4chad oldfags feel.
the major boards like /v/ or /g/ are literally unusable, threads are literally either bait or softcore porn, no inbetween.
@p@dcc@lina@Looming@NEETzsche@mint Sure, I just said popular though. But yeah, 4chan has a very low OC rate nowadays. most talent left a long time ago and now its just newfag larpers getting baited 24/7
so are Mogging, gooning, mewing, and general incel lingo that are popular right now where on 4chad for a while, but the rate at which memes come from 4chan is a lot lower now.
memes are usually made on twitter now, at least the ones zoomers like. not to say anything of there quality of course.
@mint Lute is kind of retarded though, he's so focused on 'muh soot era' that he moderates nothing, and all jarty regulars are literally homosexual soylita posters. it used to be vaguely okay in 2022, but now its just fucking awful, literally unusable. I respect lute, more than any other farty admin, but his site is vantablack, even if there is no actual 'p on it.
Not to say 4chan is niche, 4chan is the largest imageboard by far, but its userbase is far, far smaller than reddit or twitter.
I think it will forever fall into obscurity, no new imageboards are made, if they are they die quickly. even kohlchan, and soyjak party, probably the second and third largest image boards respectively still has a stagnant userbase/barely growing.
Fediverse also is not growing much. it had an influx to mastodon after elon ruined xitter, but not much.
@Cookieman@lina@Looming@p@NEETzsche@mint Gooning originally was a fetish where guys 'embraced' their porn addiction, and say all sorts of gay shit. Gooning is the act of 'edging' (delaying cumming) for hours at a time, and sometimes never cumming, or only coming after hours of delay. the more extreme the fetish got the more extreme the setup becomes bigger, with a bunch of screens playing at once.
It began in around 2020~ and is often combined with other awful fetishes like furry or blacked shit.
mid-2023 it became a meme, and now is just an alternative meaning for porn addiction, or jerking off. I dont know if its worse that its main stream, or better because its being made fun of.
you'll find many unironic gooners on the 4chan /trash/ board, or more famously on r/gooncaves on reddit.
