Lol, good point. I’m actually just doing that because assholes i used to talk to irl tried to “cancel” me by pretending i was an active 4chan user, and i did tell one member of thst friendgroup about this site recently. I am no longer gonna let my pathetic trauma get in the way of acting normal online. This isn’t reddit, after all.
Lemmy actually seems not blindly-anti-4chan, which is nice.
Still, i wouldn’t actually want to use it again. But it definitely has normal people on, because it wouldn’t function otherwise.

This is how people have viewed 4chan for a while now.
People think anyone who spent any time on 4chan are pedophiles/racists/misogynists.
They’re mainly right but it’s a mixed bag.
Don’t get me wrong 4chan can be a horrible place but most people just assume if you visit 4chan you’re on /b/ or /pol/ which is generally where things can get really dark really fast.
4chan does have some decent boards though you always have to be on guard for trolls.

AFAIK the /a/nime board translates and posts manga and do a really great job of it.
