Are there any cyberpunk communities left? User 06/09/22 (Thu) 23:51:10 No.58637

I'm not talking about video game communities, book clubs, or wallpaper dumps. I'm not talking about corporate "cyber security", authority loving political "discourse", or consumer electronics. I want to know where the cyberpunk imageboard/textboard culture of at least 4-5 years ago, but going back even to 10 years ago, went. Found new communities? New interests? Got too old and caved in and started using shitty popular social media platforms? I miss talking to hackers, not to fame-seeking, attention-whoring, corporate-backed, "infosec pentesting allstar" wagies. Fuck, even the old skiddies larping as if the 90s hacking culture hadn't been completely killed already would be better than nothing at this point.

While I know /cyber/ was kind of enemies with /cyb/ and LameChan some years ago, it's still unfortunate to see all of them die or become inactive at more or less the same pace. I've never felt more disenfranchised and unmotivated, and I can't help but feel that it's not accidental.

I feel pretty much the same way. It seemed like it happened very quickly. LameChan seems to still be quite active however, but nothing like it used to be.

Depressing, isn't it? Not sure what happened there. I guess people just moved on after finding these kinds of communities became too hard.

As someone who just got into cyber topics when it was already dead I'd like to share my pov.

First: I think this dead wasteland of small /cyber/ communities like this or f.e. wirechan have their own romanticity in their abandonedness. While more and more people get an uncanny feeling about social media and data privacy, they feel less like there is something they can do against it. Also the cyber dystopia got so real, that people dont find theses places anymore because the internet traffic gets more and more centralized by those who have the one correct opinion.

hunter biden laptop story is the best example of how we actually came up in the reality that supports the right example and punishes the wrong one.

Second: Those who were actual cyberpunks probably realized that the fight is lost and the only real way of being a cyberpunk is by not being active as a cyberpunk but live in the woods without internet and collect mushrooms.

Third: They started a family and suddenly it is more important to give your offspring a good future. Who can blame them?

One of those crazy things about life, people get older and change. Younger people have different views, and desires in life then the ones who came before them. So some things just move further underground for a time, It is just the way of things. At some point everything will circle back around like it always does.

Sure >>58647 but one would think that cyberpunk gets more and more interesting the more we become a cyber dystopia. Yet it does not really feel that way

Real life is never as exciting as the fantasy makes it out to be.

I suppose the thought goes "why would I get invested in cyberpunk if real life is heading in the same direction" ?

lol @ thinking that was the epitome of Cyberpunk.

Well, what were you doing when the Government mandated using QR check-ins everywhere, and demanding you have their spyphone on you at all times to prove you were 'legal'?

Anyone who wasn't a social fashion victim was using their technical experience to slide between the electronic cordons.

Well, young feller, I am a longtime cybersecurity researcher. But the fact is I kind of suck at it because I can't make a living at it. So both cybersecurity and cyberpunk fiction take a back seat to my pressing urge to survive.

I plan to revive cyberpunk communities. I was headed in that direction around 2017. And suddenly Qresearch started heating up, and all the mental energy that I could have spent on cyberpunk instead got focused on following the elusive hints of "where we go one, we go all." (All for a LARP?)

Q did not deliver Hillary Clinton to prison in the first four years of cryptic hints, so if I am wise, I will ignore Q and focus on building cyberpunk community. However, I am not exactly as young and sexy as I used to be, so I can't just unbutton my shirt and cause hacker-wanna-bes to flock to me. In fact, I sometimes feel about as ugly as pic related. So I might have to overcome my autism and learn actual social skills before I can build a schway community. I am very interested in darkweb technologies, so any website that I build on the unsafe web will just be a front door pointing to the dark web.
