That Reddit thread is a very strange experience for someone not of their culture

[–] datavoid@lemmy.ml 47 points 21 hours ago

That is all 4chan lingo. As a general rule of thumb, if it sounds like something Elon would say, it's from 4chan.

Lemmy and 4chan do have one thing in common

Hating reddit.

Also a shady image to the point some people who have only heard of it think it‘s some deep web voodoo. They have that in common somehow.

We take turns taking care of it. You'll get your turn eventually.

Do what? Remind me of the babe

Of course, they hate Reddit because they can't use hate speech there

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 29 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Reddit allows racism or sexism just fine without slurs or with slurs depending on the subreddit.

You see it mostly on the more political and gamer/incel type communities there.

[–] kate@lemmy.uhhoh.com 13 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

there are literally subreddits with slurs in the name

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 7 points 15 hours ago

Ah yes "hydrohomies" had to change after they got too popular.

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 33 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

Just remember that the vast majority of those users are in their mid-late 30s or even early 40s. Zoomers and even younger millennials never gave a shit about 4chan.

[–] HATEFISH@midwest.social 29 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe they didn't care to the same degree but unfortunately incel culture was fostered in several areas, and a lot of them are younger than mid 30s.

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 17 points 21 hours ago

Oh incels are a massive problem. But younger millenials and genz and the like got radicalized by reddit and twitter and the like, not 4chan. And then they just went straight to 8chan if they left their festering grounds at all.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I think my only contact with 4chan was to get JAV content and also my first contact with torrenting.

[–] thatchemguy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

I open it periodically just to see what's up. I regret it every time :3

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 13 points 20 hours ago

the definition of Morbid curiosity is essentially what my experience w/ 4chan is

/tg/ was usually decent. Often a good source for pdfs

[–] Brutticus@lemm.ee 6 points 21 hours ago

its like... getting a whiff of something I haven't felt in a long time.

[–] real_squids@sopuli.xyz 5 points 23 hours ago

more like very sad
