You should beware that /lmg/ is full of horrible people, discussing horrible things, like most of 4chan. Reddit's r/locallama is much more agreeable. That said, the 4chan thread tends to be more up-to-date. These guys are serious about their ERP.

- dang 3y agoCould you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
- LoganDark 3y ago> I personally don't get offended by words, but I guess if you are born after the 2000's perhaps you should avoid it. Ouch
- mitchdoogle 3y agoBelittling the youth is one way that insecure people make themselves feel better about getting old.
- Psyladine 3y agoAnd dismissing the old is one way that youth make themselves feel they know better.
- phkahler 3y ago>> Belittling the youth is one way that insecure people make themselves feel better about getting old. That seems like one possible explanation for the comment. ;-)
- spiderice 3y agoSurely you can see the irony in your comment
- lwhalen 3y agoGen Y hits back. I love it :-D
- Spivak 3y agoWhich is just a way of saying he not part of any of the demographics where going to 4chan to see people froth at the mouth dehumanizing and belittling people like you is self-harm. Wow an edgy white man not offended at seeing racism and transphobia, so brave.
- throwawy67103 3y agoNot him, but I browse it and I’m Jewish. I’d rather have free speech and see constant posts about holocaust denial and oven jokes and just ignore them
- Spivak 3y agoIt's a little telling that saying that a particular cesspool of the the internet is inhospitable to some people is responded to with talk about free speech. I didn't bring it up, just said it's not for me. You can browse 4chan because you don't have a strong emotional reaction to the shit they say, but if you did that would be fine too.
- pohl 3y agoHaving free speech is allowing Birth of a Nation to exist, not making popcorn and watching it every night.
- Levitz 3y agoNo, not at all. I've received more slurs than you can imagine for being Spanish. I just don't care. Sorry if it comes as blunt but I find no better way of saying it, you just don't understand the culture of the site, which is meant to filter people like you. They are just words on a screen from an anonymous person somewhere. Easily thrown, easily dismissed. It makes no sense to be offended because some guy I don't know and who doesn't know me calls me something.
- SamoyedFurFluff 3y agoI’m actually unsure, hasn’t 4chan been involved in some seriously heinous shit, way more than words on a screen? I remember when “mods asleep post child porn” was a running joke. I feel that normalizing stuff like child porn as jokes is more than “words on a screen”; you have to re-learn how to engage with people outside of such a community because of its behavior.
- dopidopHN 3y agoYeah « outch this is cringe »
- rejschaap 3y agoPicked up some bad habits from 4chan?
- LoganDark 3y agoLike having emotions?
- beepbooptheory 3y agoDespite the current culture war meme thing, the kids today in general surely have much thicker skin than other adults did at their age.
- dqft 3y agoLOL
- beepbooptheory 3y agoI don't get it. Isn't the whole critique from you guys that their snowflake-sensitivity is performative and in bad faith, thus harming the more normal people with wokeness or whatever? Is this just a new evolution in the discourse now where the kids are actually more sensitive? But that this fact is still condemnable or something? Like I get it, kids are bad, but you guys have to narrow down your narrative here, you are all over the place.
- op00to 3y agoKids are constantly bombarded by bullying and abuse online. It's seriously unhealthy. The fact that kids are growing up more in touch with themselves and able to process their feelings in a healthy way is amazing compared to how their parents dealt with emotions.
- lovich 3y agoWell, you certainly have the personality type I’d expect from someone who frequents 4chan Edit:oof, checked his profile like he suggested and in just two pages of history he’s engaged in climate change denial and covid vaccine conspiracies. Buddy, I don’t think using 4chan to “train my brain’s spam filter” is working too well for you. You’ve got a mind so open your brain fell out.
- Hitton 3y agoGoing through someone's comment history to find reason to engage in ad hominem attacks is exactly the type of personality of someone who I expect to frequent Reddit and reason why I switched to HN. Sadly, it appears that this malaise reached here as well.
- malfist 3y agoI mean, he's literally saying the jews are responsible for bot farms and "offensive content". That's not the stance of someone rational.
- lovich 3y agoYea, good point. I had missed his line about “country bordering Palestine”. The quip about downvotes exciting him is telling as well. Going against the common consensus can make you feel like you have hidden knowledge and you even could, but a certain type of personality gets addicted to that feeling and reflexively seeks to always go against any consensus, regardless of the facts

- Slava_Propanei 3y agoReddit is censored, nerfed and full of a different sort of horrible people.
- boppo1 3y agoThis is why I'm aware of /lmg/.
- theodric 3y agoHN is a kind of small miracle in that it's the sort of place where I'm inclined to read the comments first, and seems to be populated with fairly clever people who contribute usefully but not also, at the same time, extreme bigot edgelords and/or groupthinking soy enthusiasts. (Sometimes clever folks who are still wrong, of course, but undeniably an overwhelmingly intelligent bunch.)
