Over a decade earlier I could occasionally find an interesting thread on /v/, and at one point I was even an /int/ poster, but the posters themselves are rarely chill and immediately spew rage at others over the mildest mistakes. (The biggest ‘Old Man Yells at Cloud’ moment that happened to me was when somebody spewed a slur at me and told me to delete my thread and commit suicide…because I made a thread asking others if they said ‘ciao’ and I said that I prefer it because it’s less religious than ‘goodbye’.) Even the one board that I still visit with any regularity has this problem.

I have occasionally found a useful link there (responses to Shoah denial, for example), and it’s funny to watch neofascists infight, but even so I’d say that it’s more trouble than it’s worth. Too much raging, misogyny, white supremacy, uselessness, boring posts, and sometimes images that might cause you brain damage (white supremacists in particular love equating their enemies with all things unclean). You aren’t missing out on much.
