Video Game Communities Anonymous Id: 3157a5 No. 1990
Gamers have bonded over games both offline and online over the years. From LAN parties, to Xbox Live, to Roblox and Discord grooming rackets. Nowadays, all communities for games that don't have their own social media features seem to be relegated to a single place: Discord. Forum culture is all but dead, and is survived by increasingly dwindling populations of niche places like this. Discord chats aren't indexed by search engines. They don't allow you to just lurk a chat, you have to join a server in order to see any messages, and finding worthwhile discussions is a headache because they may either be deleted or too far back in a log. Use this thread to talk about niche communities, forums or chat servers (ideally not discord) that you know, or how dedicated communities online have evolved over the years. In-game chats and communities are fine too.
There's also a behavior pattern that I want to talk about, and I don't think it's directly related to zoomers treating every platform like a discord chat, though it is a factor. It's the sort of posts that get made in the gacha, vtuber threads over here. Even the touhou thread currently on /v/ seems to have this vibe. Most posts are 4-5 word sentences of some quip about what they're going to do to their waifu or whatever. The discussion is almost unintelligible to an outsider or the uninitiated, and it seems like even if I was aware of what was going on, it would still be an absolutely garbage tier conversation. I don't know what to call it. "Cuckchan general behavior" maybe? I guess it's a combination of having a laissez-faire attitute of towards the conversation, effortposters giving up, and the rest just putting in the littlest amount of effort only for the sole purpose of having activity. This isn't exclusive to /v/ or adjacents either. /a/ also has some of that going in too: >>>/a/9796 , >>>/a/2116 (the latest posts here at least) I distinctly remember this not being the case always. The Mousou Telepathy threads back in 8chan prime had more substantial discussion than this despite being fast.
>>1991 >Most posts are 4-5 word sentences of some quip about what they're going to do to their waifu or whatever. The discussion is almost unintelligible to an outsider or the uninitiated, and it seems like even if I was aware of what was going on, it would still be an absolutely garbage tier conversation. It's what I've heard some people refer to as "TikTok Brain", but the trend even proceeds that as this kind of socially interaction began festering with the very creation of Twatter back in 2006 (And when it began to take off in 2010). As that site started breeding the mindset of trying to condence everything you needed to say down to 140 character (Now 280). Not necessarily a bad thing, as I fucking wish a lot people would just get to their point instead of endlessly rambling, but this significantly alters how people interact with others. You cannot have a serious deep conversionsation on a site that's even more limited than older SMS systems. So people just jump to the "important" points and leave it at that.
>>1991 >>1992 This isn't even about twatter. This is just run of the mill chatroom behavior, where all posts are just soundbites because they're going to be buried in 5 minutes anyways by hundreds of other short posts.

>>1991 >touhou thread Almost never as conversation starters, I've seen maybe 6ish posts in the past 3 weeks that were independent low effort shitposting/waifuposting you're describing. All the rest are responses to someone else starting a conversation, if this were a discord or some other social media hellhole they'd hit a like or some other +1 button or something to show their support instead and up to 80% of those posts wouldn't exist. Some people just genuinely have nothing to contribute other than basically "^THIS" or "^SEX", in spite of -chan sites have a reputation of being able to say whatever shit you want anonymously, and no ambitions for anything more because of what >>1993 points out. >they're going to be buried in 5 minutes anyways by hundreds of other short posts. Kinda funny that imageboards/threads (well, niche ones that weren't 1000 PPH, and even then if a post was extremely potent it could get dozens of one liner replies as well) didn't have this problem until recently. Nihilism perhaps?
>>1993 I guess, though I would liken it to something like Twitch chat as opposed to a normal chat room. The normal ones can still have long-form conversation if the audience allows it.
Their brains are being eaten by prions from the fake-covid vaxx.

>The niggecattle post ChatGPT responses to support forums and places like Stackoverflow or even twitter instead of putting in actual effort into understanding the problem, then act surprised when people are mad. >Search engines are by default putting in AI summaries into their responses so you don't even have to visit a website. >Hell, there's a good chance that you're interacting entirely with bots if you're on any of the mainstream social media websites. Dead Internet Theory blah blah blah. >AI companies are DDoSing any website they see with their crawlers because they need to harvest data for their god awful chatbot, get that investor money and then get acquired by one of the big goons. Small websites get disproportinately affected and drive up costs and maintenance. Not to mention the plethora of scammers and hackers. >All of the big tech niggers are flooding their platforms with ""slop"" because they need to justify their investment and make number go up. Which brings us to the questions: <will there be anything worthwhile left to do on the internet in about a decade's time? Will you even be able to own a non-pozzed computing device? <will small independent websites still manage to exist? <will all white collar work vanish besides for a select few in the elite? <will society destroy itself through a tiktok addiction? No one's breeding except for niggers.
