0/9 would not recommend. A disgrace to lainkind.
Somehow lainchan has like 20 times more javascript than any other tinyboard-based imageboard, without any noticeable increase in functionality at all. Even pigchan is less horrific in that regard. It's a really poorly designed site, and its community isn't active enough to justify using it.
I got like 3 threads locked because it's incredibly easy to bait them into sperging out at you for not being a neo-liberal like them. And for some reason every time arguments start the mods just lock the thread. It is quite literally ran by people who are terrified of any form of confrontation, which is odd considering the nature of imageboards. It's essentially just reddit the imageboard. They demand that you be nice and argue in good faith, but "arguing in good faith" just means never actually disagreeing with anyone. Once you point out that their userbase doesn't actually understand the concept of a good faith discussion, as I said before, they just lock the thread.
Lainchan is shit, In case you didn't follow the drama, here's a summary.
Namefags
* Kaylax - The original person behind lainchan, under his guidence, lainchan grew to a couple dozen users and put out a (arguably) interesting e-magazine, "lainzine"
* Appleman - The person that currently owns lainchan.org, a macfag (and allegedly a literal fag)
Story
=
Kaylax started lainchan. He's a macfag (speculation on also being a litteral fag), and can't really into computers. One of his mods, Appleman, started out helping Kaylax with the site. At some point Kaylax stepped down from leadership and sold the site to Appleman. Some of the mods and a lot of the users were upset because Appleman is a reddit-tier faggot, and vowed to crash lainchan.org with no survivors. The users rebelled and started lainchan.jp, now arisuchan.jp. Unfortunately it's even even more dead and inundated with anarkiddies and PC faggots.
TL;DR Lainchan never really hit critical mass, and the userbase forked before it ever got off the ground.
>>3726 Why does it seem like every chan inevitably gets destroyed by namefags trying to maintain control over their own secrit clubhouse? It's all so tiring.
It reminded me of personal websites of the early '00s. It could be admired aesthetically.
>>3747 It's the problem inherent in do-it-for-freeism. Attention whores are the least bad of power seekers, as many others want to undermine the communities they're trying to moderate. Benign do-gooders are one in a million, especially as morality is on the decline overall (I'm not excluding myself from this as I have no interest in moderating imageboards), so there just aren't enough of them to go around.
>>3948 >go to lainchan overboard
>see these on the first screen
>/sec/ - Women in Security (muh whammens in tecck)
>/music/ - How to be a cyberpunk rockerboy type (how to larp and look k00l)
>/hum/ - Intellectual Arrogance (pic related)
>every interesting word is filtered by butthurt admins
>some words such as "/pol/" are impossible to post
>if you make posts too quickly, you get blocked
Sounds like paradise! How do I make a lainchan account?
>>3950 Every single politically neutral imageboard/bbs I find flooded with lainchan niggers also turn into boomer and anarskid circlejerking about how superior they are compared to everyone else
If this site didn't have an explicitly /pol/ admin from the start it'd have suffered the same fate too
>>3951 dunning-kruger strikes again
It's pretty comfy. You don't get that /pol/-esque propaganda every thread (hint: the moderation doesn't allow it and you can see the butthurt posts above mine) so opening a thread in hopes of joining a meaningful discussion only to see that thread devolving into a political circlejerk between alt-rightists isn't a frequent occurance, thankfully.
