How often do y'all visit 4chan?

Never

Literally never in my life

I haven't been on 4chan since like 2011

Zero times. If it’s worth looking at it’ll make its way eventually to another platform that’s less of an ass fissure

Like once a year or something.

Too much manipulation by racists, nazis, and russia. All they have to do is tell 4chan that doing x/y/z will offend people, and suddenly they are a willing personal army.

Back when stormfront said how easy it was to funnel chanfolk into their ideology, I honestly thought 4chan would break stormfront. I didn't expect such enthusiasm for an ideology that would outlaw 4chan if it got enough power.

Absolutely never.

I haven't been on 4chan in over 20 years since I saw a gif of a German shepherd being hit in the face with a shovel.

That place is a cesspool.

Why would I want to lower my faith in humanity more?

4chan died about 2010. After that the ratio of idiots vs people role-playing as idiots tipped and it never tipped back.

Once every few days? And only very specific boards: /a/, /vg/ and /g/. Mostly /vg/, it's actually decent-ish to talk about games.

I used to be a fairly active 4chan user a decade or so ago. In fact I learned about Reddit from 4chan. However the place became a shadow of its former shelf once it allowed stormfront trash to join in. Picture related:

Couple that with the fact that 4chan ended infested with the same sort of assumptive trash as Reddit, that is also currently infesting Lemmy, and that I don't... really fit there any more. (That has political implications, but it is non-political and orthogonal to politics in nature.)

I used 4chan daily from 2005 to around 2013. It just doesn't have the vibe it used to, or maybe I'm just getting old.

Never.

At this point I see pepe as a hate symbol.

Never have, never will.

0 times per year.

I used to when I was in my teens, when 4chan wasn't as "well known" by so many people. It was definitely wild then. Now I don't really have the desire to browse there or anywhere else besides Lemmy

0 times a year. I used to lurk on Something Awful and Fark back in the day but I never liked 4chan.

Honestly, I’m kind of surprised 4chan is the one still around but I guess the non-religious kids who are the future of the Republican Party need somewhere to hang out.

The interface sucks. Never

None. I will never touch anything *chan

2chan, 4chan, 5chan, and the other number I won't even mention cuz I actually saw something very traumatizing there.

I haven't been there, I only see screenshots here and there, and the occasional YouTube video detailing their shenanigans

Sometimes I remember it exists and is vaguely legit to visit, and that there are other sections besides /b. I think maybe I go there for about an hour once a year.

1/lifetime

Never. I only look at the funny greentext highlights and I don't want to hunt for those.

Maybe once a year to remind myself I'm not a complete twat.

been decades around when moot left and 4chan was hentai pics.

5 years ago? Some people have something funny to say but it's not worth groveling through the hundreds of bot comments to find it.

Not much anymore. /diy/ is still good for some of my weirder technical questions, but the rest of the boards are in the gutter. /b/, which used to be good for a Friday-night laugh, is nothing but transphobic-trans worship posts or loli threads.

I looked at it for the first time a few weeks ago to see what all the fuss is about. Terrible user interface and the content wasn’t very interesting. No reason to go back again.

I mean a long time ago, like 15 years ago, before I really found reddit, I went on there pretty often.

Maybe once a week. Their torrent board /t/ occasionally has some neat stuff but sporadically when browsing different boards like /v/ I'll hear some news about a niche topic I'm into.

For example last time it was that a Youtuber I follow named MittenSquad died. Had no idea.

I have never visited the hacker known as 4chan, I hear he's a gross neckbeard who never showers.

Once before gamergate. I didn’t like the sort of people I found there. I wasn’t surprised about the following decade of newsworthy and leaking bad behavior

I've never visited 4chan. Everything I've read about it makes me think it's not the webforum for me.

Maybe once in the last 5-10 years to look up something specific... so basically never.

.

Rarely. Not more than once a month, and then I remember why I outgrew it.

Who is moot you all are talking about ?

I'm on /v/all the time

My 4chan days was almost twenty years ago, I am no longer interested in it other than the occasional greentext repost.

I don't really anymore.

Daily, watching the advances of ai porn generation techniques and tools. The deep fakes trend didn't spontaneously emerge from a vacuum, and ai generation of gif/videos from a single text prompt is in the 'dreaming' stage. I give it 6 months before you will be able to have a coherent scene of 10 seconds of ai gif or video based on a single prompt with minimal editing.

4chan is the best place I've found to watch this that isn't trying to sell me something or over sensationalize it.

Never. Like, I've browsed around a few times. /LGBT/ (when it wasn't people from /pol/ trying to debate trans people) was the only board of value...I can't put it into words but, it's the only board I think really lives up to the romantic ideals of what 4chan is. It feels... weirdly neither irony poisoned like the rest of 4chan nor dead serious and moralistic like the rest of the internet. Maybe the rest used to live up, I'm young so I wouldn't know (though I do know people were moaning about "the old 4chan" in 08.) But I don't belong on /LGBT/, I'm moralism poisoned.

Culturally, 4chan is a spent force, I think that became clear when every new meme from there was a Soyjak variant. It's a shame some channers think they're still on the precipice of internet culture. I just wish the ghost of /pol/'s influence would stop haunting my country.

Not since 2006 or 7, used to hit up the paper craft forum for Warhammer proxies.

Only ever used it for piracy, it's been the most reliable source for finding niche TTRPG books. From the first time I used it to now it probably averages out to once or twice a year, though in practice it comes in bursts.
