My 4chan days was almost twenty years ago, I am no longer interested in it other than the occasional greentext repost.

Never. I only look at the funny greentext highlights and I don't want to hunt for those.
I used 4chan daily from 2005 to around 2013. It just doesn't have the vibe it used to, or maybe I'm just getting old.
Once every few days? And only very specific boards: /a/, /vg/ and /g/. Mostly /vg/, it's actually decent-ish to talk about games.
I used to be a fairly active 4chan user a decade or so ago. In fact I learned about Reddit from 4chan. However the place became a shadow of its former shelf once it allowed stormfront trash to join in. Picture related:
Couple that with the fact that 4chan ended infested with the same sort of assumptive trash as Reddit, that is also currently infesting Lemmy, and that I don't... really fit there any more. (That has political implications, but it is non-political and orthogonal to politics in nature.)
I used to when I was in my teens, when 4chan wasn't as "well known" by so many people. It was definitely wild then. Now I don't really have the desire to browse there or anywhere else besides Lemmy
0 times per year.
Sometimes I remember it exists and is vaguely legit to visit, and that there are other sections besides /b. I think maybe I go there for about an hour once a year.
4chan died about 2010. After that the ratio of idiots vs people role-playing as idiots tipped and it never tipped back.
been decades around when moot left and 4chan was hentai pics.
I have never visited the hacker known as 4chan, I hear he's a gross neckbeard who never showers.
I mean a long time ago, like 15 years ago, before I really found reddit, I went on there pretty often.
Why would I want to lower my faith in humanity more?
rock bottom should be the default
I looked at it for the first time a few weeks ago to see what all the fuss is about. Terrible user interface and the content wasn’t very interesting. No reason to go back again.
official old fag right here. bet he can triforce and everything.
Maybe once a week. Their torrent board /t/ occasionally has some neat stuff but sporadically when browsing different boards like /v/ I'll hear some news about a niche topic I'm into.
For example last time it was that a Youtuber I follow named MittenSquad died. Had no idea.
Zero times. If it’s worth looking at it’ll make its way eventually to another platform that’s less of an ass fissure
Absolutely never.
Rarely. Not more than once a month, and then I remember why I outgrew it.
Too much...
Like once a year or something.
Too much manipulation by racists, nazis, and russia. All they have to do is tell 4chan that doing x/y/z will offend people, and suddenly they are a willing personal army.
Back when stormfront said how easy it was to funnel chanfolk into their ideology, I honestly thought 4chan would break stormfront. I didn't expect such enthusiasm for an ideology that would outlaw 4chan if it got enough power.
Yeah I was a big channer many years ago I still don't understand how the fuck fascism won there. The only reason I go there now is to snoop on fascists since I know how to click around there. The only thing I can say is that it must be that most channers really were idiot loser NEETs with nothing to live for, instead of people pretending to be idiot loser NEETs with nothing to live for.
Pretend to be something long enough, and you slowly become that thing.
I haven't been on 4chan since like 2011
I'm not adding to any conversation really but this is pretty much my answer too
Not much anymore. /diy/ is still good for some of my weirder technical questions, but the rest of the boards are in the gutter. /b/, which used to be good for a Friday-night laugh, is nothing but transphobic-trans worship posts or loli threads.
/b/ was never good.
Eh, in retrospect I agree but as a socially awkward annoyingly atheistic teenager in the late oughts/ early 2010s there was some times that were fun in the moment. Definitely didn't do anything good for my development though
