>>11278150>I've been here twice as long as you guaranteedIf you want to make the audacious claim that you've been here since 1989, be my guest.
>People used to come to 4chan because it was a place to talk without censorship. Coming here to talk should not be the act of a "fucking retard."This place has always had a 2000 character limit on most boards (/jp/ being the only one I can think of off the top of my head that is free of this) which automatically disqualifies it as a place to have "meaningful discussions". It's an image board. You come here to post fucking images, and talk about the images that have been posted. The fact that you don't understand that and are crying about the quality of discussion exposes your oldfag larp.
>trying to ruin the ONE FUCKING PLACE we can talk to each other in earnest without fear of cancellation, with people who can take a fucking jokeThis has never been what 4chan was, no matter what pseudophilosophical ramblings moot gave in interviews to try to justify shit. It's never been something so noble, it has always just been a place you can post things with zero commitment to your posts. Which has always lended itself to vociferous shitposting. The term "samefag" is older than you, and for a reason. It's because the people who have posted here have never respected this vague, nebulous ideal you're appealing to, anonymity has always been used and abused.
Your post reeks of a newfag who has just left the honeymoon phase of posting and is flabberghasted by all the "sudden" shitposting that surrounds you. It's not new, it was always there. If you were half as old as you're pretending to be, you wouldn't be so pathetically thin-skinned and obsessed with something that never was. 4chan has never been what you're pretending it was and it never will be. It has been, and always will be, just a place to enjoy shitposting, stupid memes and light conversation without the commitment of logging in to some shitty forum account.
