>>43314434ive been on 4chan for 16 years anon. its been a ride, ill say that much.
to me 4chan is
>a news site>a way to not be censored (some exceptions exist admittedly)>one of the only places where everyone is on (for the most part) an equal playing field>a place that literally anyone can access regardless of background>a place where people with skills and exceptional professions can fuck around just because>a place where magic happens>a place that can teach shit that youd otherwise never learn (double edge sword on this one, but i have learned to be resourceful which is a skillset i cannot imagine living without now)>a place where even when youre wrong, you can shitpost to your hearts content>a place where anyone can jump in and dab on an entire thread effortlessly just because what theyre good at lets them (guy thats been making those ez builds is literally 1 dude with some free time just because he felt like it)no matter the circumstances you learn shit here, you pick up skills here that other sites wouldnt let you ever pick up on
you can tell when someone isnt from here just by how they post. thats literally the bare minimum examplethe amount of shit that was learned just by the right timing and minds meeting in the same spot is fucking incredible and id never want to lose a place like this, even if its flodded with wojaks shills and other retarded off-site posters.
