0/9 would not recommend. A disgrace to lainkind.
Somehow lainchan has like 20 times more javascript than any other tinyboard-based imageboard, without any noticeable increase in functionality at all. Even pigchan is less horrific in that regard. It's a really poorly designed site, and its community isn't active enough to justify using it.
I got like 3 threads locked because it's incredibly easy to bait them into sperging out at you for not being a neo-liberal like them. And for some reason every time arguments start the mods just lock the thread. It is quite literally ran by people who are terrified of any form of confrontation, which is odd considering the nature of imageboards. It's essentially just reddit the imageboard. They demand that you be nice and argue in good faith, but "arguing in good faith" just means never actually disagreeing with anyone. Once you point out that their userbase doesn't actually understand the concept of a good faith discussion, as I said before, they just lock the thread.
Lainchan is shit, In case you didn't follow the drama, here's a summary.
Namefags
* Kaylax - The original person behind lainchan, under his guidence, lainchan grew to a couple dozen users and put out a (arguably) interesting e-magazine, "lainzine"
* Appleman - The person that currently owns lainchan.org, a macfag (and allegedly a literal fag)
Story
=
Kaylax started lainchan. He's a macfag (speculation on also being a litteral fag), and can't really into computers. One of his mods, Appleman, started out helping Kaylax with the site. At some point Kaylax stepped down from leadership and sold the site to Appleman. Some of the mods and a lot of the users were upset because Appleman is a reddit-tier faggot, and vowed to crash lainchan.org with no survivors. The users rebelled and started lainchan.jp, now arisuchan.jp. Unfortunately it's even even more dead and inundated with anarkiddies and PC faggots.
TL;DR Lainchan never really hit critical mass, and the userbase forked before it ever got off the ground.
>>3726 Why does it seem like every chan inevitably gets destroyed by namefags trying to maintain control over their own secrit clubhouse? It's all so tiring.
It reminded me of personal websites of the early '00s. It could be admired aesthetically.
>>3747 It's the problem inherent in do-it-for-freeism. Attention whores are the least bad of power seekers, as many others want to undermine the communities they're trying to moderate. Benign do-gooders are one in a million, especially as morality is on the decline overall (I'm not excluding myself from this as I have no interest in moderating imageboards), so there just aren't enough of them to go around.
>>3948 >go to lainchan overboard
>see these on the first screen
>/sec/ - Women in Security (muh whammens in tecck)
>/music/ - How to be a cyberpunk rockerboy type (how to larp and look k00l)
>/hum/ - Intellectual Arrogance (pic related)
>every interesting word is filtered by butthurt admins
>some words such as "/pol/" are impossible to post
>if you make posts too quickly, you get blocked
Sounds like paradise! How do I make a lainchan account?
>>3950 Every single politically neutral imageboard/bbs I find flooded with lainchan niggers also turn into boomer and anarskid circlejerking about how superior they are compared to everyone else
If this site didn't have an explicitly /pol/ admin from the start it'd have suffered the same fate too
>>3951 dunning-kruger strikes again
It's pretty comfy. You don't get that /pol/-esque propaganda every thread (hint: the moderation doesn't allow it and you can see the butthurt posts above mine) so opening a thread in hopes of joining a meaningful discussion only to see that thread devolving into a political circlejerk between alt-rightists isn't a frequent occurance, thankfully.
laincucks - arrogant marxist drug faggots with low self esteem.
Had one fag effectively claiming he was right and the person who invented the coding technique was wrong. Called the faggot a nigger in a technical manner with proof - the whole board lost their shit. Where 8ch anons have weaponized Apserger's autism, lainfaggots have plain autism. They think they're amazing with fuck all to back it up but an over inflated ego.
Lainchan: Imagine SSRI induced weebs fantasizing about magic mushrooms at a CoC convention, and you'd be pretty accurate.
Even if you're a an idiot awed by their soykaf leet speak you could accomplish more following a jewtube video in 20mins than they achieve in a month.
2/10 - worth visiting to understand the references that appear elsewhere, and being able to detect the fags shitting up other boards. Otherwise avoid.
>>13861 This has to be one of the worst Jewish propaganda images I've ever seen.
Is the puppet to the right of the Jewish puppet master the minority? Statistically, sure. Look at the media.
Now, imagine thinking the majority of media comes from the right puppet AND thinking it's anything to brag about that you're "a special minority snowflake". It goes to show how ego driven those who follow the left puppet are. (((They))) pray on the ability to say, "See, I'M oppressed!!!1!!1 That means I'm correct!" because there is so little to validate their arguments otherwise.
The right puppet does the same thing occasionally, and I respect the practice when tney do it just as little. But, it's clear as day to even the moderates or those who follow the middle puppet that, statistically, the left is much more free to express their opinion. It says a lot when Ted the Jew has to KILL people in order for anything of note to happen following the publishing of the "Unabomber Manifesto".
>>13861 >Hey! Everybody look at me! I'm posting a highly intellectual graphic that makes a nuanced response to a primitive soykaf post
>Is actually posting professionally-retarded.jpg
This has butthurt lainfag written all over it.
2 replies and both the anons call him out as a retard.
>>13864 >soy
>gulped
confirmed for butthurt lainfag
>>13872 Americans coin as marxist pretty much everybody they want and lainfags simply are not marxists. That's it. Last time I was there they were sticking their asses out like basic ancaps.
Euros are just so left wing they think left is center.
It's like someone who has vision problems, they need some glasses, but without them see distorted and/or fuzzy imagery. Or maybe they are drunk, or maybe both!!
The Lisp and haskell community there used to be really nice but the problem is the moderation as everyone has already mentioned. If you dont stray outside of the few cool /prog/ threads you won't have any problems, the rest of the site is a cesspool though. I prefer arisuchan.jp personally.
>>3696 >Lainchan
Suckass community and bloated compared to nano. If I wanted to feel guilty for being white or comparatively wealthy to the rest of the globe, I would just join reddit.
>>13861 >muh 2 choices
So how's the left and right wing working out for you?
>>3696 I lurked there once or twice, it's mostly bunch of try hard circlejerk of namefags.
>>13863 >>pray on the ability to say, "See, I'M oppressed!!!1!!1 That means I'm correct!" because there is so little to validate their arguments otherwise
Isn't that the same for you paranoid NEETsocs which got nothing besides we're being censored so our BS most be true?
>13873
>>Americans coin as marxist pretty much everybody they want
It's pretty much done by dumb NEETsoc and Neocons
>Last time I was there they were sticking their asses out like basic ancaps
Really? I got the feeling they're more leftist anarchists at best, any proof for being pro-capitalism?
Don't go there. It used to be tolerable, but nowadays it's just a bunch of skiddies who only lurk for scripts and in vain hope that somebody would post a "hacking tutorial" that would cure their room temperature IQ. If you're looking for a left-leaning hacking community, just stick to IRCs. I haven't been active for a while, but I'll come back and post the ones I used to go on probably tomorrow.
