/christian/ - Christian Discussion and Fellowship

not gonna happen soon.

red pilled christians are few and far between, even this board is pretty slow

it's a matter of numbers

>What boards would you want to see on a Christian chan?

/v/

/pol/

/fit/

/lit/

>>587330

Christian /fit/ would be a literal Godsend

Would love to see this but there are too few people who 1) know and use imageboards and 2) are religious at the same time.

>red pilled christians are few and far between, even this board is pretty slow

It would seem to me that, in order to truly be a "red-pilled Christian," one would have to actually understand the concept of God's Grace, as taught by Scripture. And, by that criteria, there are very few red-pilled Christians on this board.

>>587325

>Or maybe a small selection of pre-selected images just to fill the gap?

this is a good idea

chan admin would start with at least 100 images then add more with time

this would help protect the board from pornography (thus protecting it from DMCA and CP). The lack of user uploads would probably make the server cheaper to run too. Admin could use a simple email from google or something just for picture recommendations from anons.

>>587330

this would be my main concern

there is christchan and it's ded

what if instead of (or along with) having a pool of pre-selected images, when images are posted that are not part of the pool, they are not shown until a volunteer (whose sole function is to do this,) approves them? in place of the image would just say "pending approval"

>>587550

>mixed grip

ya I gave up that grip and just went double overhand instead, i feel like my form is better cause of it but my grip strength went down

i'll give chalk a try

>>587330

I think the slowness factor is a feature, and possibly a blessing. If a Christian chan gets too big, things move fast and you don't get time to reflect / take in the word of what other Christians are sharing with you.

Good board suggestions. I wonder if perhaps a few of them could be under a more broader, general title, eg. perhaps /hobby/ ?

>>587376

I like that idea, could even isolate that to a small selection of boards (while the rest only use the pool).

>>587369

That's a good quantity, and I'd try to have a majority of them as quite small dimensions too.

To further that, I considered that you could cycle through some of the available images in the pool periodically, to avoid repetition (especially if people are suggesting additions)…and for the commonly used smaller ones, retrieve them once on the first load of the chan (storing locally in the browser since it would be quite small). This would mean that your browser is essentially retrieving just text later on, as all the bits to make the page "look like a chan" just sit in the browser permanently…putting very little strain on the host.

Do you think it would make sense to also have the option of defaulting some boards to a certain range of IPs, but having a period of time each week where certain boards can open up and allow anyone from around the globe to post on them…or even have those boards begin to display posts from other instances of the chan that might be running around the globe? So a decentralized Christian chan, but it semi-centralizes itself each week for a limited period of time.

A way to come together in Christ, but to also be able to have boards separate for say, those you do bible studies with if they want to ask you questions and discuss the bible, etc.

I think a chan configured in this kind of way could make it easy for Christians from all walks of life to access it or to run their own one for their community or local church to use, on a very minimum setup. Something you could give out to churches, pre-bundled.

>. I wonder if perhaps a few of them could be under a more broader, general title, eg. perhaps /hobby/ ?

I don't think so

they're quite different hobbies

>>587729

Nah, more-so just as a place to discuss Christ that's free from the wicked works found elsewhere. A place to share wisdom and guidance with one another as Christians, etc.

Literal internet churches are subject to grey areas of ecclesiology, and being at the mercy of whomever runs the internet. I'm very thankful for the internet, especially those who maintain it, I just want to make tools that would do good for others online, not bad.

I've noticed over time that online communities are subject to the tools their platform provides, regardless of the user-base. If the features of that platform by default allow works of sin to be at the forefront, and allow it to enter the community with little or no effort, then things become corrupted by sin. That sucks for everyone, those who use it, those who moderate it, and those who host it.

So if one creates a fork of that code, and changes those features so that they prevent sin, it's a beginning step towards something good.

As mentioned here >>587369, it would help to protect the community from content that could be used to try and destroy the community.

What happened to christchan.is? I have a small personal vichan board I'm working on that I was going to have /cathedral/ on. No porn is in the rules. I will post again if there's interest.

>>587772

The answer to your question is yes.

>>589375

Please post it.

I want this now and I know I'll never have it. Thanks OP.

>>591115

>>591159

It is done: https://questchan.org/cathedral.

Please try to bear with me because everything is in a very alpha state. I advise discretion because the rules page isn't quite up yet.

Happy posting!

>>591216

There's a link at the top to a [b] that has pornographic images on it. If we're just gonna be a click away from porn on the same site, may as well just stay here.

>>587589

>I think the slowness factor is a feature, and possibly a blessing. If a Christian chan gets too big, things move fast and you don't get time to reflect / take in the word of what other Christians are sharing with you.

I totally agree. A crowded place, even online place can get uncomfortable real fast.

Also I do not think a full Christian chan will work either. Separation of boards could breed difference and their own "subculture. I like what we have now. A /insert board here/ thread on one /christian/ board.

>>591217

I apologize. Like I said, there isn't a rules page yet so they couldn't be enforced then. I've taken care of it now.

>>591221

I don't think a Christian chan becoming too big and too fast is something to worry about. Personally, this place's speed is fine, but the number of pages makes it feel crowded. I'm not a huge fan of generals though, but they're there.

>>591216

Very nice anon. Don't let this project die out, good luck.

>>587547

>how do I improve grip strength?

look up hook grip, it's really useful when you're hitting high numbers on your diddlies, but it takes a couple weeks to get used to, because it kinda hurts your thumbs

if the pain is unbearable, wrap them in stretchy bandage things

>>591241

Honoka is definitely a model Christian.

>>587729

it would be nice to have a Christian chan that didn't have adds and links for weird porn all over the place

>>591407

An entire Christian chan is probably too much, but a small board that's part of a SFW imageboard is already posted ITT. No ads because it's small and a labor of love. Also, you can easily hide that here with custom CSS.

>>591406

Good man, she best girl

>>591273

Thanks.

>>591701

Honestly, I had been mulling over the idea in my mind before christchan.is existed and then went down.

>>591216

Thank you for your service anon, best of luck.

I can't really advertise outside of this thread so I'll give it a weekly bump for questchan's /cathedral/.

>>603642

why not make the board here on 8Chan? It would make a better transition and i bet more people would post there.

>>603765

i think one of the concerns having it on 8ch is the degenerate ads on this site

>>604008

This is a good point
