Like literally the fucking president is running a psyop that has sent 4chan and a mostly recent (and probably built from the ground up for this) imageboard called 8ch to the mainstream of the highest levels.
Now every asshole and their retarded half-nigger cousin with downsyndrome knows about the chans.
As someone who has been there from the beginning this truly disgusts me, and not just because they're becoming mainstream but because these people have no fucking clue what imageboard culture is all about.
Their only knowledge of memes and internet humor comes from expose to fifth generation 4chan newfag culture via facebook feeds, it's nauseating.
The culture and feeling that I knew and loved is gone, all the original people seem to have disappeared or died and a lot of the original websites (such as my beloved iichan) have gone POOF.
These places were once bastions for a certain type of mindset and creative output that had a very particular feel to it, the internet culture that came from late 90s and early 00s anime otaku culture, internet obscurism, TOTSE-esque attitudes (a TOTSE none of the faggots on this website even know about including the douchebag who created this place himself).
Imageboards were MAGICAL, it was like entering a totally different universe, now it's like seeing the same exact bot posts every single day all day ever since around 2009 (/mu/ is literally the same garbage threads that started appearing around 2009 when kpop was becoming popular).
And to detour here for a bit
It's not just imageboards that have been lost, gaming has gone to total shit too.
I look at the various gaming sites and they're only covering like ... four or five games total and besides two that MIGHT be fun somewhat (Read Dead Redemption and some other game I can't remember atm) everything else looks like a 00s straight to DVD CG movie (Fortnight) or some regurgitated garbage I fully expect to be shit and will never bother with (Black ops five, assassin's creed odyssey).
Everything I loved in my teens has been destroyed or died
There is NOTHING today that feels as amazing
Not even VR, but it's still the extremely early days so I'll give that some time.
When I get moved back into an apartment I'm literally going to buy a CRT and for the next decade play nothing but PS2, Xbox and pc games up to 2006 ... or maybe do that for the rest of my life.
Oh and I'll stick to cds.
Then I'll start an imageboard of my own using the old software with some new touches, I'll host it in San Francisco so I won't run into legal issues when someone posts child porn.
Or maybe it'll just be a textboard like 4-ch and 2ch idk.
Has anyone thought of doing this?
Shutting out the modern world and living like your favorite era?

No, fuck my favorite era.
Everything anyone has ever made is a broken piece of garbage made out of worthless finite resources that have no chance of lasting more than a few hundred years.
The only thing worth anything is the data, with the amount of crap that exists right now you could create an infinite amount of new games, media and technology. If you think about it everything is just a copy of something else.
Self driving cars are literally based off of horse drawn carriages. You know what computers are based off? Calculators which is just a fancy Abacus.
Imageboards are nothing but trash along with everything else that exists today. This is not the golden information space age it's the TRASH AND USELESS SHIT age

New things are awesome - eventually all the shitty boring people find out about it and the new things become shitty and boring.
It's the Hot New Nightclub effect.
Examples include computers, the internet, newsnet, and just about every website ever.

Who cares if everybody knows about it? They'll assimilate or leave.
As long as the formerly unknown place doesn't change to accommodate the newcomers it shouldn't matter how many people know about it
