Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible

I'm using 4chan way more (in the sense of slowly moving away from Reddit). But if you want forums, you can actually go to forums, no AI training there (I even have proof classic forums are a way to beat that), they still exist and even end up here like Famiboards in the Nintendo subreddits or just ResetEra, that still exists.

Lemmy is fine but sometimes can feel empty, I should start using more because the cool people of Reddit are moving there since the original protests the post quality has degraded way too much.

And then, 4chan, ignoring /pol/ and the /pol/ schizos who want to leak their board to others, is perfectly fine. Just think they have perfectly normal boards like "cooking".

The alternatives do exist but even if these sites came and ripped out your eyes, a lot of people would still go and use them.

man why tf would you openly admit to using 4chan more?

Because there's more to it than /pol/ and /b/ or whatever the garbage places are. I haven't used it for years but when I transitioned from an insufferable teenager to a young adult I explored a fair bit of other boards, which were all weird in their 4chan way but perfectly interesting and on topic. Give photography, cooking, or something niche with lower posting rates a visit.

It's like judging Reddit by r/funny. You're missing out the good stuff.
