>>20856345>>20856352/bant/'s been unusable for over 5 years, I don't think I've posted outside of these threads since 2019ish and even then these threads aren't nearly as fun as they were almost a decade ago, I just keep making them to see how long I can keep it up desu.
Some of the oldfriends are still around, but they're buried even more by the waves of crossboarder cancer. A lot of them post on altchans like bantculture, but I don't post there much because I've never been into 2hu
the final nail in the coffin for a lot of people was /qa/ddit being shut down and so a lot of the frogposting/wojakposting discord troons colonized /bant/ which led to a lot of people just giving up any attempts at gatekeeping and either fucking off to somewhere else or staying confined to specific threads, and then random generals and trash migrated from other boards to /bant/ with little resistance when they'd be spammed to death with hentai in the past.
The most recent happening was /biz/ switching to requiring e-mail verification to post there, so a lot of /biz/tards were against that and came here with their generals and /biz/ spam and memes.
newfags that come to /bant/ aren't chased out anymore and any semblance of board culture's been whittled down so much that newfags can just assimilate to whatever "group" they want.
