That Reddit thread is a very strange experience for someone not of their culture
- Lemmy and 4chan do have one thing in common
  Hating reddit.
  
  Also a shady image to the point some people who have only heard of it think it‘s some deep web voodoo. They have that in common somehow.
  
  We have voodoo? Since when
  
  We take turns taking care of it. You'll get your turn eventually.
  
  You do
  
  Do what? Remind me of the babe
  
  Of course, they hate Reddit because they can't use hate speech there
  
  Reddit allows racism or sexism just fine without slurs or with slurs depending on the subreddit.
  You see it mostly on the more political and gamer/incel type communities there.
  
  there are literally subreddits with slurs in the name
  
  Ah yes "hydrohomies" had to change after they got too popular.
- That is all 4chan lingo. As a general rule of thumb, if it sounds like something Elon would say, it's from 4chan.
- Just remember that the vast majority of those users are in their mid-late 30s or even early 40s. Zoomers and even younger millennials never gave a shit about 4chan.
  
  Maybe they didn't care to the same degree but unfortunately incel culture was fostered in several areas, and a lot of them are younger than mid 30s.
  
  Oh incels are a massive problem. But younger millenials and genz and the like got radicalized by reddit and twitter and the like, not 4chan. And then they just went straight to 8chan if they left their festering grounds at all.
  
  I think my only contact with 4chan was to get JAV content and also my first contact with torrenting.
  
  I open it periodically just to see what's up. I regret it every time :3
  
  the definition of Morbid curiosity is essentially what my experience w/ 4chan is
  
  /tg/ was usually decent. Often a good source for pdfs
- its like... getting a whiff of something I haven't felt in a long time.
- more like very sad
