>>16026704>Combined with how lenient the moderation is, I believe that's what makes the board unique. It's left to it's own devices for the most partYeah. It was interesting to me that during the janitor applications, /bant/ was not an available option. Maybe that meant this board had enough jannies, or maybe it meant this board has a different approach to moderation. I also think it's interesting that the mods dump threads here instead of /trash/, but that's another tangent.
>And honestly, it's so disconnected from how the site usually is that I've always viewed this place like an altchan/bant/ is unique for the reasons you mentioned but it doesn't feel like a completely different site to me, though that may be because I have relatively little experience with altchans. There's one other board on this site that felt as unique as /bant/ to me, and that's /lit/. There seemed to be more people that put care in their posts, not that they were the majority, but it was a clear difference to other boards. I never really spent much time there because I don't really read and too many posters there were insufferably pedantic, more concerned with precise vernacular and vocabulary than the ideas and thoughts expressed.
>the kind who'll present a proper reply to you. And I think that kind is just more prevalent around slower boards, naturally. If I ever find a place where longer posts were more common, I'd post there all the time. They don't have to be as long as ours and they don't have to be the majority, but I just wish I knew a place where more substantive posts were the norm. I suppose that's kind of against the spirit of imageboards, though. Posts are transient and there's barely any barrier to posting, so by design it implicitly encourages brainlessness. Why put any effort into typing a long post when it's going to just disappear? Sure, it may get archived, but who's going to go through the archive to read your threads? Of course, there are other incentives, charlimit
