I randomly woke up at 2:30am, found out my package was stuck at customs because my country changed some shit and now I'm required to provide them with some data everytime I import stuff. Looking for the form I had to fill made my sleepiness go away and I wasn't able to get any sleep for the rest of the night. Ugh.

I had started browsing [s4s] a few months back. I never was able to fit in, I wasn't too funny and most of my posts were ignored.
But that was the case for 4chan in general most of the time. It was an addiction rather than something I enjoyed.

Its funny seeing slow altchans suddenly go high traffic because 4channers have a compulsive need to post somewhere.
No.21810
I hope 4chan comes back, I am not ready for an imageboard sphere shakeup. It would just be good enough if it stays down for a few days so I can be reminded/encouraged to check all the places that I haven't truly browsed in years. I do wonder where everyone will go otherwise though. 4chan has a big population and it doesn't seem like anywhere has really absorbed it. Or maybe I'm just not in the know of the new altchans that are in a position of notoriety to attract the refugees. All the old altchans have seen basically no change. Though it has also only been a few hours. Yeah the more I think about it, even if it does go down for good, the vast majority will probably stay as dead as before.

>>21824sushi rollymous imageboards are only as stable as their community's ability to self-police. If we see a rise in uncomfy posters, we let em know this isn't the place for that and then get mods involved if they keep it up.
No.21839
>>21814>but im worried about the few threads there which talked about topics which no where else on the internet doesI frequent a few threads like these. Sucks if they're really gone but I can accept that happening. At the end of the day, I guess that's just the transient nature of imageboards at work.
Though, I still do hope I can reconnect with the good chaps on those threads.
No.21840
>>21838Self policing works when there's a small trickle of newbies coming, but it can't account for large numbers. Thankfully the number of 4chan diaspora coming seems low, and the moderation cares a lot for the place so we may not have to worry too much about it.

No.21858
>>21848I honestly think the average 4chan user would be too uninterested to seek out altchans and would opt for Twitter or Reddit. A good deal of them already use one or both sites and treat 4chan as a shitpost dumping ground for when they have some inflammatory take they don't want to potentially get heat for elsewhere since it's tied to their accounts. That said, I'm anxious as to whether 4chan dying for good would be beneficial or not. I'm generally a "better safe than sorry" sort of guy who would prefer things stay the same, but I do think there's the potential for decent posters to find their way across the web to populate altchans which are typically much better environments that I'd love to see flourish.
No.21860
>>21858When 4chan goes back up, will these social media users go back and repopulate that site or leave for good? Or maybe they will infest other places? Its nice to see slow altchans suddenly get a lot of traffic but I bet that will slow back down when 4chan goes back up.
No.21861
>>21860I imagine they'd come back, which personally I think is a shame since they typically don't add much to the conversation. They don't treat 4chan as a place to have a conversation but as something to put minimal investment into so for them the site going down for a bit isn't that big of a disruption and it coming back would be business as usual rather than shaking their faith in its presence. I figure the activity will go back down if the site comes back, yeah. I'd bet a lot of the increased traffic is from people who were already aware of whichever sites they'd migrated to and just preferred 4chan for its size, which isn't going to change if it comes back online.
Personally I've mostly just lurked on 4chan and rarely post because the environment typically feels unwelcoming. This situation feels like it holds some symbolic significance to me though, and I'd hope the same is true enough for others to see if not stable activity, then less of a decline if the site comes back. The second wind has been nice. Checking in regularly on sites I'd only look into monthly before has been really refreshing.
As a bit of an aside, I also think the nature of smaller sites does a lot to help deter shitposters who naturally are looking for as much attention as possible from as many people as possible. I can only imagine it'd be less satisfying for them to try and shitpost here than just making a second Twitter account for all their attention seeking.

I would say another reason for us to head back would be the difficulty to adapt to a new culture. I lurked for a year or so when I first found 4chan.
