The last oyabun disappeared one month ago or so, which means /cyber/ is now under new administration.

Seeing the deplorable state of the board, I decided that maybe we could start talking stuff like civilized people, about what should we allow or not, or possible ways to boost board activity, in periodic meta threads, much like /tg/ does. Hopefully, this time it will not devolve in political shitflinging. If all goes well, maybe we could even manage to decide on a final design for /cyber/-tan. :^)

Times were really good when we had a weekly cyb movie. Can't remember which streaming site it was but on Sunday we'd play some Dogstar (Keanu Reeves band) then watched movies like Bladerunner or Johnny Mnemonic. I can't remember when we stopped but I started working nights and it fazed out. I still work weekends sadly but maybe you could organize something similar. It was really a blast while it lasted.

I thought it might be helpful to restate what the perceived goals of this board are, lest it loose focus and users once more. It might need some refinement, but here it is:

1. Retain the largely hands off approach to moderation. Bans should only be handed out for violating global rules, or false-flagging/attempting to derail every thread into a debate about how NatSocs suck or other off-topic faggotry.

2. Retain the currently alowed topics of discussion. As much as it may pain a rather vocal minority- any attempt by corporations or governments to deplatform or otherwise silence a group, political faction, potential competitors is pretty fuggin' cyberpunk. Likewise, attempts to circumvent this- be it cryptocurrency, IPFS and Tor, rogue servers, alternative websites, and hacking are all valid topics of discussion. Additionally, potential future defining technologies, cyberpunk media, and other related things all are kosher here.

3. Do more shit to keep this place at least partially alive, though careful to not bring unwanted attention. Maybe do some multiplayer of old abandonware or libre games with some of the smaller, more drama-free boards- potentially even some /tg/-tier activities like shared universe writing or RPGs. /cyber/ book club would also be nice.

Somebody has to bite the bullet and be willing to actually make posts, sit on the board, and contribute as much as they can inside threads. Things like a movie night are a good idea, but instead of having a three-month long vote to determine what's going to get played, it should just be an anon that's going to watch a movie on the weekend anyway, and just streams it. Even if nobody watches the first few times, keep doing it.

Make more news threads, even if it's stuff like CES. Sure on the one hand it's a brightly lit chinkshit showcase, on the other hand weird rollup TVs, AR glasses, and arguments about teledildonics are kinda cyber.

Maybe consider locking the larger older threads. The most popular thread of the past year was yet another state-of-the-board thread, and the cyberpunk guns thread is huge but 4 years old. Make sure they're archived, then let them sink. There's 30 threads showing 404 at the bottom of the catalog that nobody has bothered with, so at this rate they'll still be around for a good long while, but it may encourage people to make a new thread when it doesn't mean reading through the last and feeling they're just repeating what somebody else has already said.

There's not a high enough user count here to justify a dozen spin-offs. It's good to have a few places to fall back to if this place ever implodes, sure, but a conversation that's happening elsewhere is a conversation that's not happening here. Lain is comfy and a chatroom has a nice sense of immediacy to it, but it leaves us in danger of being spread too thin. Unless there's a conversation needing to be had that needs to be in private and/or shouldn't be seen from the clearnet, this should be the main base.

Also the jews are using mass immigration to commit white genocide.

It is also interesting to think that as the world becomes more cyberpunk that may make cyberpunk itself less interesting, because it'd become just the normal state of affairs, just a thought.

I spend time here for a handful of topics and sometimes the stolen art. Perhaps to avoid spreading ourselves thin with alternative platforms, we should specify one .onion domain to possibly serve as a backpage/IRC/BBS emulator. *shrugs*

>>53989

Yea, I have plenty of cyber-related projects as well. I work a lot more with things in meatspace, from drones to 3D printing. M'roommate is a machine learning dev…

I would also like to see more discussions on what conscious linux users are going to do next after the tragedy that is the Code of Cuckery(conduct). What new distros will be spinning off specifically rejecting this policy? Will their ever be a way to regain digital autonomy from megacorp sponsored SJW fascism?

On that note… Silicone Valley is indeed crumbling, prepare to see major disruption and new alternatives this year. California brain drain is already happening whether they admit it or not. China is also going through an ultra nationalist phase and driving away foreign owned tech companies, Id say expect to see new companies answering directly to DPRC soon.

/cyber/ as a genre is very relevant to current events, but that doesn't make it any less interesting. I'd argue more.

Your policy to blanket ban by affiliation is part of the problem. It only invites more of the political polarization.

What if I told you you're capable of ignoring pestilence as easily as you ignore beggars lying on the street?

I can reason with you, you're tired of seeing it and you want the good ol /cyber/.

However, this place sets itself apart by not incorporating nanny-like moderator action. You can argue against bad ideas, or support good ones.

If you want strict content control then fuck right off to plebbit.

I see /cyber/ as the intersection of a Venn diagram with /tech/, /lit/, /tg/, /tv/ (not this /tv/ though), /v/, and possibly /co/. If we were to advertise in some of these places, I'd recommend /tg/ and /v/; /tech/ would be appropriate, but it is fairly cancerous nowadays, and we would probably get some unwanted attention. The others are either too dead, too uninterested in cyberpunk, or too cancerous to consider.

Which also brings me to consider the possibility of participating in the Attention Hungry games.

From what I have seen, it does not have that much of an effect on board activity outside of the first few days, but maybe we can remind people who used to come here, but have forgotten about the board to come back. What do you think?

>>53985

>Make sure they're archived, then let them sink.

I have been checking on the board settings, and I see no "archive on 8archive.moe" option like there used to be. There are also no noticeboard news on that option being removed, so I am not sure when did this happen. There is, however, a "request board backup" option, which takes me to a mailto to Codemonkey. I should probably check up on /sudo/, but I am not sure I will get noticed. In case we can indeed archive the board,

should old threads be let to sink with the autosage anchor feature? How old?

>>53989

>>53990

/cyber/ projects are pretty cool. Posting about them would certainly be great for the board. Could you take some pictures and write up a bit on what you are doing, and post a new thread with it? It could either be a thread for each of your projects, or a single thread for /cyber/ projects in general, as you see fit.

I recognize political derailing has been an issue as of lately. While cyberpunk is indeed political, I don't think real world politics are the most suitable topic for the board, outside of meta threads.

Basically, I'd rather let those posts be, but people bite the bait all the time, and the tu quoque back and forth often kills the thread, as seen in the last meta thread arguing about age of consent of all things, definitely the /cyber/est of topics. I considered that maybe posting a warning in a thread getting derailed (defined as: more than 4 reply, referenced or not referenced, posts have been made following an obvious derailment post), and then proceeding to delete all following posts replying to these, could be a good course of action, but I am not sure. I could also delete obvious political bait, or just let it be. For the time being, I am just going to ask you not to shit up the board; I know your political opinions are the best, but this is not really the most suitable board to discuss them.

What should wed do about political bait? Warn, instant deletion, or let it be?

>should old threads be let to sink with the autosage anchor feature? How old?

Honestly yes, even if the same things are discussed again and again it keeps the place alive, i think if a thread is 1 year old it is safe to lock or autosage it.

>What should wed do about political bait? Warn, instant deletion, or let it be?

Ban if it is derailing the thread or is too off topic, but you'd need some discretion in that case

This sounds like a good plan. Was gonna suggest warning then temp ban if user keeps it up but I like yours better. Don't like the idea of of removing posts but if it's off-topic, it's off-topic.

I'd not but if done once for a slight boost it might be okay.

>should old threads be let to sink with the autosage anchor feature? How old?

There are some pretty good threads and going down and forgotten is a way to resolve them itself, i don't see forcing them to stay down as a great benefit. Also long good threads that are constantly up akin to QTTDTOT make good boards, rather than constant flow of small fast-dying and low-effort ones.

>Basically, I'd rather let those posts be, but people bite the bait all the time

My favorite approach is to not immediately delete shitty and low-effort threads but to bump-lock them, keeping better ones in the view and afloat, improving the discussion and keeping focus on-topic. Other than that, for single derailment posts it's not really worth the effort to remove them, a simple reminder to stay on-topic and ignore the bait from other posters will do, while keeping your time and effort for dedicated raids like thread/post spam and like. If spammer uses some unique words that nobody else on the board does, then setting up a temporary wordfilter works well too. It probably won't hurt to delete obvious political bait immediately but that'd take your efforts, attention that could go somewhere else, might provoke shitposters for dedicated spam and raids, lead to mod abuse, even if unlikely and just more management and possible mistakes for little results.

Could have sworn we were already doing that. I feel pretty civilized.

Easy. Allowed: Cyber. Not-allowed: Not cyber.

>or possible ways to boost board activity

Because what we really need is another /tv/,/v/,/pol/, or /[insert popular and horribly terrible board here]/. Slow boards are fine. I'd not worry at all, but if you're hellbent on it then I'd recommend you avoid worrying about post count or unique IDs or whatever it is they rank boards by and instead worry about severe off-topic and spam. Though, again, I don't recall seeing much of that around at all. It's a quiet board so it doesn't see much "Is BIG FAT NIGGER DICK cyber?!" type threads.

>in periodic meta threads, much like /tg/ does

Meta threads are shit. Board Owner presence is shit. Talking about talking is shit and if you haven't noticed, /tg/ isn't exactly a shining beacon of popularity and high function itself.

Don't do a fucking thing. Do not advertise this board. Do not participate in the "attention hungry games". This gay social shit can only bring disaster down on an insular community. Don't do anything that would make this board any more like /tv/ or all those other fucking terrible boards. Cutesy social club bullshit is one of the metaphorical roads to the death of a good community. Though based on your post I'm not filled with confidence you understand or care about that.

I say quality over quantity. I've experienced some better dialogues here than elsewhere. In a way, off the beaten path and insular boards are what makes for a better experience instead of filtering the shit we see on any other major board.

The majority of the discussions I've at least been tracking have been on topic, even if it went at a slight tangent.

I think our user base is the the right size for a comfy time, some of us just need to remember that you can hide threads and individual posts, and that you don't need to engage everyone who is wrong on the internet and getting the last word in a pointless argument is equally pointless.

As an aside, while some are just trolls and some aren't, you may notice that the bulk of the people spouting at length about jews, nazis, antifa, trump, socialists, communists, pedophilia, etc. get most disruptive when conversation starts to get interesting, or when conversation is about how to heal divide or build communities. Maybe I'm paranoid but I see this all over the web outside of the big corporate platforms and it smells like an effort to keep tensions high and divisive conflict frequent in order to make sure no strongly rooted communities grow outside of their controlled spaces. Just something to think about.

You're not paranoid. Monitoring and subversion is very real, some bot is probably scraping this thread right now and sifting through data for triggers that tell operators to investigate further. Try going to 4chan /pol/, that place just feels off… We seriously need to think how to solve this problem. That is if we even have a chance. We're against well organized and well founded group with advanced training in cyber intelligence, information gathering, data analysis and psychological warfare. I'm fully aware that this sounds like some stupid conspiracy theory, but the fact is: this is our reality right now.

No, you're completely right this shit has been going on for a long while.

Honestly what hope do we have?, seems to me our best hope is to infiltrate them as they have infiltrated us.

I mean, anyone can come here and post, a simple captcha is not going to stop them, so how do we create communities that they can't access but that interested anons can? at the end of the day you'll never know who's on the other side of the screen so it seems impossible to me.

I don't want to be all "it's fucked, it's not worth trying to resist" but damn once you learn how easy it is to gather data about people and have an algorithm make sense of that data, it's quite discouraging.

I think that a lot of the net was protected for a time by memes, jargon and common culture. Our signal looked like noise to the powers that be. Unfortunately while the lexicon of the web is evolving faster than ever, it no longer outpaces their ability to decode it. Plus, memes have changed. When used for communication rather than just funnies, they used to be more metaphors for concepts or actions, now they are mostly analogies for emotional states. Even if we could outpace the efforts to decode our communications, I doubt we could shift the language of the net back to a more subtle and info-rich form. After all, you can't force memes. Plus now there are those working for the intelligence agencies who were raised on the net, so no matter what there will be at least a handful among them who speak our language. We need a memetic enigma machine.

Sage because this line of conversation isn't really on topic with the thread.

If you actually think this then you aren't paying attention. I agree that cyberpunk fiction is still fun (I'm currently wrapping up my third re-reading of the Sprawl trilogy) but the entire planet is spiraling far too quickly towards a dystopian cyber-globalist hellscape.

There was never anything wrong with it.

Overall I think I agree most with >>54023 and >>54030. I do think the board has been slightly slower than I'd like, but we don't need to go out of our way to advertise ourselves anywhere. Megachan was the best cyberpunk imageboard I've ever posted on and it never really had a huge userbase. I'd much prefer having a small but active community that makes worthwhile posts, over having a fast board that's filled with garbage.

A few updates:

Board pages project

I have recently added our first board page. It's at https://8ch.net/cyber/lusers.html, and it is meant to be a page full of guides where we can point not-so-tech-savvy /cyber/ Users to in case they need help with some relatively simple stuff. I know some of you will probably opine that n00bs have to be told to lurk more and that's it, but considering the first guide is a guide to use SFTP over Tor, which is exactly one of the latest projects of /theend/ users (thanks for all your hard work, by the way), I hope you can understand it is probably for the best to have more power users and less lusers.

Problem is, the Luser's Guide is the only page we have right now, and it only has a single guide. Boards can have up to 10, so given that it's free hosting and you can never say no to free hosting, it would be pretty schway if we expanded on it.

What pages should the /cyber/ pages contain? I thought of:

>Index page with links to the other /cyber/ pages, and possibly interesting content (the sticky will still list all the user projects as the very first thing on the board, don't worry). Could possibly offer small expanded descriptions to the stuff listed at the sticky.

>User's Guide, a guide with more advanced manuals for people who probably know a bit more than a luser.

>/cyber/zine. It was an idea thrown around some years ago, since IIRC Lainchan had their own, but I think nothing came out of it. It would be monthly (or far longer, since I doubt we can produce enough content to publish something decent every month) publication that would list all the /cyber/ User projects and news, short stories and essays, manuals that don't fall in line with neither the Luser or User's Guide, ilustrations, etc.

Obviously, suggestions are accepted, and feedback is required.

Luser's Guide

As explained before, now the board has a board page (https://8ch.net/cyber/lusers.html) named Luser's Guide, that's meant to compile several guides to forcibly teach some sense into the more technologically impaired users of the board. Problem is, it has a single guide as of now, so if you would like to write a guide, or suggest a topic, just hit me up in this same thread, or open a new one dedicated to this, if you please.

You may notice (or not, if the cache has finally been invalidated) the CSS looks wonky. I have actually patched the CSS a bit to include the modifications present in the Cyberpunk 8chan theme to adapt the board pages correctly, as well as some extra styling, but it won't reflect the changes. I assume this is some Alacrity issue. I will leave it to rest for a bit to see if it finally fixes itself, but if it doesn't, I will contact Codemonkey to check if it can be solved.

It's down. No surprises here. It seems as if the website is never going to come up again, or at least under that domain, since some user found out a dump of the site at https://github.com/Hal47/cyberlife-site, but thing is it's taking up space in the sticky. I would just remove it and call it a day, but it's been a part of the board for so long it feels wrong to me. Should I just remove it?

/cyber/ 8chan Steam group

Look, I know they did not do it in bad faith, but every time I see the link there it makes me cringe a bit. I guess I can understand why they chose to open a Steam group (the Steam Groups GUI is tidy as all hell, and it includes a chat), but checking out their page, it seems all activity died on 2015. I haven't joined, so I don't know if the chat is still active, but if it is, and some /cyber/ Steam group member is reading this (shame on you, btw), please let me know, as that would be at least one reason against removing the link. I have also noticed some of the group owners are currently online and playing, so we know they are alive, but I do not know if they are still interested in reviving the group or maintaining the page. If anyone knows them, hit them up and let them know we are still alive and kicking.

I love movies. I would suggest the following streaming sites: https://putlocker.unblckd.live, https://fmovies.unblocked.llc, https://hdonline.unblocked.llc, https://solarmovie.unblocked.llc.

Warning: Expect a sh*t load of popups from any website that offers a "free" service and use a VPN.

I think we should also organize a stream on an IRC.

This is not a political study debate board. Anyway, some of their sperging is amusing.

>How can board activity increase.

Sadly, most people on /cyber/ are technologically illiterate fashion followers (see the recent Google AI caller thread). Additionally, the "cyberpunk + cybersecurity general" followers on 4chan's /g/ board aren't posting here. Many seem to care about the culture and tech.

That whole place used to be cancer, and I am fairly certain it didn't get any better. In specific, /g/ was full of consumers who knew little about actual technology, and the more interestimg threads they had were processor wars, five years ago. Our /tech/ has gone to shit lately due to some cuckchan imbecile who spams one sentence long threads with a Pepe image, but truth is it's been going down the sink for a while and even then, it shits on the /g/ I know.

>Honestly yes, even if the same things are discussed again and again it keeps the place alive, i think if a thread is 1 year old it is safe to lock or autosage it.

Pretty much the only reason the place is alive is that intresting threads from years ago are available.

>Ban if it is derailing the thread or is too off topic,

YES. Every thread degenerates into (((jews))) . It is not cyberpunk. Its not relevant. IDGAF about (((white genocide))) please STFU. There are litterally no NATSOC cyberpunk books. Cyberpunk takes place is a post-racial disutopian society. (cf. cityspeak in blade runner)

>>54015

>"Hahahahahahahaha How The Fuck Is /pol/ Real Hahahaha Nigga Just Walk Away From The Screen Like Nigga Close Your Eyes"

Its not a "safe spaces" kind a thing. Its litterally the conversation is not approachable when there are pages of back an forth about some niche area of unrelated non-sense. It degrades the value of the private forum. Its not censorship, its sorting. Go make a /cyberpol/ board. Im not saying you should be able to discuss your (((whitegenocide))) im just saying it ruins the forum to have posts about UMPCs degrade into pages of arguments about why white-genocide is real.

Top 水. This would probably help build a common culture among cyber-operators.

>anon that's going to watch a movie on the weekend anyway, and just streams it

Yes. Someone has to take ownership and build it. We are too small to vote.

>Make more news threads

Yeah, but maybe we should have category threads for news to avoid creating hundreds of threads. Like one category for New Technology, one for Current Events, etc.

>Problem is, the Luser's Guide is the only page we have right now, and it only has a single guide. Boards can have up to 10, so given that it's free hosting and you can never say no to free hosting, it would be pretty 水 if we expanded on it.

Post the Libre Software Minimalism Guide from the one post. This is definitely a good idea. We definitely need to produce and curate desirable OC to make this an attractive board.
