hello,

I have been diving into these anonymous boards and stuff. I wanted to know if anyone use it for any actual purposes like for getting some tech knowledge or something?

      Yeah, I enjoy the 4chan highlights. Some of them really know how to entertain. But those communities have like a couple posts per day out of probably a higher volume of posts than Lemmy sees on its entire network.

      Just like Reddit or here. The memorable threads are rare, you’ll go through hundreds of average ones for each one that gets adopted into the lore.

    I went on a few boards. /wg/ and /po/ is interesting. (Do not put an l there’s that’s a mistake) /g/ was interesting at times. I visit it a lot less these days, but I still check /wg/ for wallpapers.

    No, I never went down that rabbit hole, which is interesting in hindsight. I went straight from old-school forums and chatrooms (where I’m sure I was very obviously a child) to Reddit.

    By the time I was hearing about it it was just “that Nazi pedo incel site”.
