/hell/ - internet death cult

My future is an abyss, which I hang over by a thread. I can't decide if it is more dignified to let go by choice or to hold on until it snaps

Anyone else struggle with not being extremely off-putting in conversations? I feel like I'm constantly saying the wrong thing, or I crack jokes and then I just *feel* the atmosphere in the room darken. I legit can never tell when I'm being affable or disturbing, but I have noticed that people often avoid talking to me.

I wanted to post this on /superhell/ as to not rain on anyone parade but it was locked.
I can't be the only one who fucking despises this disingenuous "wholesomeness" on altchans such as this site
This fake facade is what I go to IBs to escape from yet there are people who actually enjoy pretending not to hate how everyone acts like to get along with each other
I hate both myself and other sushis (fuck that filter by the way) and I don't see any point in sugarcoating that fact

Auto banning system on 4chan banned me for trying to post "banned text" consisting of only covid related links.

I posted in a relatively dead vaccine injury general. /VIG/. Sorry canada bro unless you were a baiting mod.

8moe is down for me.

I just wanted to post some stuff I've been thinking about chans. There's no special point I'm arguing.

As far as I am concerned 8ch has been taken over and destroyed. I was just looking at some screenshots of some older 8ch stuff today: that whole story about the bank robber, people having fun with copypaste before racequeen, all the fan art about nomads travelling from 4chan and rebuilding. It was nice to remember back and think about what a good run we had. I feel like none of the new alt-alt chans have any hope of being close to what 8ch was and that's a shame.
More than that thought I'm starting to feel like the imageboard medium is a dead end. I asked myself what do you even get, today, out of an imageboard that you don't on reddit or something else. They're heavily censored these days, I find that the mods on these create-your-own-board sites really abuse their positions and remove far more than they should.
Maybe it's wrong to focus so much on the free speech aspect, the main purpose of chans is to free people by removing the assocation of their post from their identity. That is the key. What do we gain from that? Frustratingly a great deal of noise and incessant meme posts is one of the results. It's too easy to drag down the level of discussion.
The cultures are often based on paranoia and distrust to the point that spending too much time on a chan can leave you unable to interact and integrate with non-chan people. Not to ignore the enojable side of it: all kinds of chaos, fun. a place to learn about extremes thaht you would never normally see (gore, fetishes, horror stories, …). but I see the creation of OC drying up. Memes used to churn around pretty regularly, but now how long as pepe the frog been going? Also the weird meta-awareness and understanding of memes and propogation has created a weird new irony to everything. The innocent playfulness has been lost.
What would you like to see in the future? How can be change the medium itself to enable better more creative communities to form?

Some interesting articles on chan culture (got any more to share?)

Since we are here at hell anyway why don't we talk about God or Gods and such? They don't even have to be real, they can be higher archetypes you identify with or interacted with somehow, I'm not really pagan either, or anything at all.

What Gods have you met or interacted with? Or what higher archetypes have you explored in your mind or identified with?

I have always been avid about the west past and present collective conciouness, even if it's about exploring the east and even if it's exploring the east via west lens via the internet culture. Recently i took hold of my life again and this Éris Goddess just keep taking me everywhere and distorting my world and paradigmas non-stop, Its been the most chaotic fun i had in my life even if it's quite rough. It was all a ride from Her to the dual and non dual of existence and it was pretty neat. Biggest God experience a friend of my had was first talking to Ganesha while tripping on ayuhaska or other friends that met God throught their Anima either on rituals, DXM or LSD, others just connect by more collective methods like neopaganism or even throught themselves like Absurdism or Nihilism. Other people relate experiences about Gods or archetypes along identification or synchronicity. There are even talks with ideas of monotheistic Gods, coming in form of a Father God of all or Mother God of All or even Gf of universe. I just want to have fun talking to you guys and see what comes out.
