>>201607724chan in general has, with some ups and downs and board-to-board variation, been suspiciously better overall since about November 2023. Not sure what's happening, and it's hard to have faith it will last given how things have always gone around here, but it's definitely interesting.
I noticed that people all of the sudden started using capitalization, punctuation, and proper spelling again out of nowhere very, very quickly around last November, to where it's now probably the habit of half the posters. Seeing a post in proper English was like finding a unicorn from about 2018–23, and it was honestly still much less common than now from in 2015–17.
