Might be alone in this but I did appreciate 4chan for chatting about niche topics that don't really work elsewhere. Reddit is just the same 3-5 topics over and over mixed with horny shit and you can't really have a conversation on Twitter, so unless there's some forum that's been running for 20 years about your hyperfixation, 4chan was the best option. Gonna miss weekly manga dumps and some of the smaller videogame generals.

If 4chan had shut down a decade ago it might have been nice, since the culture was more confined to the website, but now even Hexbear has fucking wojaks so what's the point?

And so was /g/, nothing new just the same shit over and over and over again

I didn't use /g/ so I wouldn't know.
IMO the boards with generals or weekly threads were more tolerable. Less likely to have random people come in to shit stir, although it certainly still happens sometimes.
