8kun or og 4/pol/, pretty much. You gotta wade through tons of spam. Like, literally 90% of the content is immediately-dismissable bullshit. It's why I was never a fan of the format, but you can stay pretty tapped-in as long as you don't allow all the rampant fed-posting to turn you in to a schizophrenic. Haven't checked endchan, in a while: but they were starting to have problems, as well, last time I was there.
I sorta-agree on the points thing. I have noticed that since I've been losing hundreds of points, randomly, here-and-there, with no discernible cause: it's made me care waaaaay less about how my opinion is perceived, around here. In fact, I've entered a mental-state which I can only imagine is an incredibly watered-down version of what people on death-row might be feeling: I've resigned myself to knowing that this account will end one day, and it's sorta just made me stop caring. Whereas before, I would at least make some effort to be entertaining.
Huh, well said.
I believe we're experiencing similar symptoms.
My fellow Murdochs!
I can understand that. Getting Voat suddenly shut down really changed some perspectives for me. It's good to not be attached. Inevitably, if the site is hostile to part of the user base, it's going to become hostile to every fringe outside the user base that is attracting new members at all.
