Idk, this is 2meta4me. Also I don't go on any other chans nor have conversations with anyone apart from an occasional comment below a video or a short.

What kind of normal conversation are you looking for?

normal conversation being: feed confirmation bias and stroke ego, post anytin no-likey or no-comprehend an u is [insert derision]

nowadays: actually yeah, read early internet forum stuff and that shit be like fucking Hemmingway, bros be having vocabulary, complete an intricate sentences, asides on tangentially related and personality-havin tings, sometimes simply witty non-sequiters, dey could discuss politics based on merits of policy and ideological nuance while not resorting to butt-hurt if someone criticized dey fave political sportsball team, etcetera

granted, the nature of the internet in those days meant they didn't jerkoff to bbc, grift, and play fortnite 24/7 [obviously this is a snarky generalization and having to point that out is much the reason why erryting shit]

of course, early internet be mostly nerds/academics, and, as with any media, once the filthy peasants are factored in: entirely variations of banality

just casually talking about whatever, it does happen, but there are certain posters that are incapable of this, they're like shills or are actual shills

people claim many factors
- mobile phone internet
- tumblr failed raid
- south park with a vendetta mask wearing fucko on it
- 2016 elections
it was a race to the bottom

>>842019
Because the internet became mainstream, Smartphones, and third world shitholes got access.

>>842035
the way I see it is the following
. old-timers left
. new-tierms came
. shills came
And by the time old timers came back everything was ruined, something along these lines

society basically became nofunallowed.robotnik.meme irregardless of team/brand affiliation

echo-chambers feels kinda derisive and buzzwordy, perhaps pigeon-holes is more fitting, we seek lick-minded companionship naturally, but many simply lack the discernment to tell if they're being bamboozled... [something sounds too good to be true it prlly is scam], and because they want to be coddled, ideas that ruffle their widdle feathers makes 'em be feeling sum type of way [and lacking emotional intelligence, they can't understand what they feel and usually do stupid shit, see:2025usa]

what is normal? the internet, an immediate diffusion of global ideas/cultures, has never existed save for the past few decades, it's the fucking definition of abnormal... especially considering humans are slow to adapt their thinking, 200,000 yearsish of humanities existence and only a few centuries ago we l2gravity, or how our physiology works, or that we could use heated-up water to make shit move and dork work. And we continue to backslide towards some mythological past where tings were simple and awesome... no, things were shit, things were hard, and if a mother-fucker were lucky they lived beyond 30-40.

anywho, back in the day, moar tech moar explanation fewer hypebuzzword-shillery, occasional tom-foolery

So is being a pleb.

It's important that people feel like they fit in, especially for long-term discussions where they might open up to each other. On the Internet, you can seek the community where you actually fit it more than the others. Probably won't go well if you don't fit it: it's not some trivial "high school" metric of being cool; it's a real aspect of human psychology.

Not saying you have to agree all the time, just agree with or mutually respect each other enough. On the other hand, too much shit is on the Internet, and not enough stuff which should be on the Internet is on it. Example for too much stuff being online: If you want to get a job at a place which is popular beyond just your city or a tech-related place, then you have to fill out some shit at some website and message people digitally. Nigger, I don't need to send stupid emails so you can hire me to jack off dogs or whatever the fuck at some pet store. In the past you could get some job at the library or pet store or some such place all on physical paper (no Internet needed).

Said "fit it", meant "fit in". Image unrelated.
