hello,

I have been diving into these anonymous boards and stuff. I wanted to know if anyone use it for any actual purposes like for getting some tech knowledge or something?

I've been using 4chan for longer than Reddit and Lemmy combined. Mostly /vg/ (games), /g/ (tech) and /a/ (anime, manga).

Mostly for discussion. /g/ and /vg/ are decent for asking stuff if there's a general about the topic that you want to ask info about, you want a relatively fast answer, and it isn't something overly asked (e.g. "which distro should I use?" "INSTALL GENTOO" tier). Just make sure to not trust anything said there.

Other boards are typically too slow (like /ck/) or cesspools (like /b/, ~~/b corta/~~ /v/, /pol/).
