What the fuck happened to you guys? I don't get around here all that often but is it just that you guys' hotpockets have been as dogshit as the hotpockets on all the rest of the boards in the last year or two? What killed you guy's discussion?

Oh believe me motherfucker I *know* why /pol/ and /v/ are dying, those motherfuckers are getting murdered, nothing natural about it. Kampfy and ((((((Markstein)))))) deserve nothing less than a 9mm through their skullls for the trouble.

I'm just wondering what happened to /tech/ in particular. I don't really hear too much about y'all. You guys tend to be pretty quiet and drama-free on a site-wide basis in my experience.

Nothing in particular, it's just slowly dying thanks to: tripfags, /*pol/, consumerism, lack of projects, shills, license wars, browser threads and other periodically occurring content that get's boring to read after a few times. It's just shitposting at this point.

I've been here since 2014 and some of the banners at the fucking top are mine. I will tell you straight up honestly right now, what killed /tech. was 100 percent the freetard GNU/Linux hivemind that would block ANY threads that wasn't about their meme distros.

What gives you away is that isn't actually happening. Nobody is being banned. The hivemind just makes the majority of lurkers here to oafraid to speak their fucking minds. And when nobody is talking that tends to drive pph down. Funny how that works

While I'm going on this rant, I love how Terry Davis left this place too because nobody would engage in conversation with his gigantic technical walls of text. A fucking schizophrenic was too technical for the larpers here.

And remember MikeeUSA? When did he finally fuck off?

Something is mentally wrong with you, seek help, you are fabricating scenarios that are not happening. What you are calling shitposting is people not complying with the Freetard hugbox and its triggering you. It's actually quite fucking sad.

I remember when i first joined this board was slow but filled with half-screen taking effort posts. The slowness was accepted as it was thought to prevent the drama makers and shitposters from spending too much time here. it had that pre-eternal-september feel.

Then 4chan started forcing that google streetview images not a bot verification thing and required loading some JavaScript at least ounce. A lot of 4chan shitposters bailed and made 8chan their new home overwhelming the current culture here.

I am sure you could find some archive somewhere of what this shit looked like before the exodus and how slow but quality discussion was.

Oh, and when posting from TOR actually worked.

And also to this day I'm still not sure if the Brian Fagioli poster legit thought he was being clever. That shit was /leftypol/-tier levels of bad meme.

(((Diversity))) and asiatic fem cannibalism of 'STEM' as their new vehicle for world gibs. Was always present, accelerated in bursts. One was around 1998, and the next around 2003, (both of which weren't contained, so much as the 'net expanded out past prior positions now occupied to new space). The next major cannibal expansion started circa 2005 behind the scenes with the same tech take overs and Google's capitulation, straight from the top down, in each of the major sectors of tech software (I believe this was a natural consequence of the next-to-fall following hardware's remnant's utter sequential annihilation just coming due with the mid-2k China boom frauds). By 2007/8, these became visible to the outside, but I was there behind the scenes in both Ubuntu, Google, and various PLC+Verilog peripheral manufacturers. I saw it with my own eyes -- had to keep moving though; I could sense it, but didn't know the math and mechanics, only that it was 'the other' and 'does not compute' / 'wtf is this' / etc.

By 2011, the external views present in 2007/8 were horrible, but stalled at some strange holding position, possibly due to gorging themselves, and shock cannibal troops rapidly flooding in. My god, what expansion of false underwriting and jewry funds that was. You all saw the rest ticking away, accounting away, straight through. It was from here that the forum cannibalization took over all expanding sites, opening up new horrors past what happened to slash et al.

I will now digress.

Damn Pottering to hell. Damn reddit with its Asiatic and African liars. Damn Obama and the Fed. And damn Schmidt for what he has done, serially. Poor Brin and Sergy stood utterly no chance, useful-to-useless pawns. Shuttlecock turned fag. Linux and conferences turned BDSMfag worse, somehow. The mid-teir 'old guards' were all migrants by 2003 -- I swear it so. I saw them. I worked with many of them. And I saw each and every one of them, when it came time to defend the work, capitulate, hand-over, regress, reduce, and maiwaifu +/- animu out (the bad way, not the irrelevant way; relax, reader, stay focused).

I thoroughly agree with this here >>917611 , minus the shit at the end. Every one must fight, and you all damn well know what happen/ed/s when those around you don't. Many were children, who just didn't have to grow up in the specific axis outside of work and production, and paid for it beyond their comprehension, to the detriment of all. Casual, but forgetfulness is not permitted, ever.

An argument against autistic advancement, failure to ironbro + failure to deus-vult-every-thing-that-isn't-Caucus-Man. In a way, it was the truth, come due.

Never forget.

i like that lispposter has an alternate view, but the same quotations of the Hater's handbook are now boring. He needs to mix it up, make it more subtle. Sure, it still fiddles with the occasional /g/remlin, but the rest of us are tired of it. Find another way to criticize without embedding half of a chapter in every post.
