/int/ - International

Who cares?

Slowness is good, slowness is comfiness, it means threads take time to die.

Most of the original user base of Krautchan probably don't even know about this website. I only know about this place because I was randomly browsing Kohl and somebody mentioned it, I don't like that place much and preferred golden era Krautchan or britfa.gs . I think imageboards have been dying out as a platform for a long time.

>>23660 Did britfa.gs come back?

>>23661 >Did britfa.gs come back? It's still dead or at least inaccessible from a UK IP address.

>>23662 I can’t connect from my German IP as well

New Kraut was started in January, Bernd visited it the first Time in March and posted about it on EC at the End of April. Till May this Site was even slower than EC and EC was very slow and comfy with an average of ~40 Posts a Day. With the End of EC a lot of Ernsts came here and stayed but they dont post a lot, like me. I prefer to lurk most of the time and think about my Posts 5 Times before I post...80% of the Time I dont post in the End. Maybe this is similar for some AltBernds who came back to Imageboards after a long Break, additionally most of those mentioned above are no longer used to a fast Board. Imo a lot more People lurk than post, whis means Quality > Quantity. tl;dr This >>23655

It seems to me that schizo- and raceposting on kohl has recently decreased, which makes it less off-putting.

Same reason people still stick with Facebook and other crap. Habits are hard to change even if everything is shit.

>>23647 I wouldn't want to have most of the threads on Kohl here. Most is low quality cancer. If activity means trash threads, I choose snail speed.

People just don't know about it. I only found it recently when someone linked it on kohl

i leave imageboards when they get too fast

>>23677 > If activity means trash threads, I choose snail speed. What happened to the Mülleimer board there?

We need to get the world out more. When it first opened I checked it out and thought it would be a flash in the pan because bernd is old and doesn't like change. Now it's shown it has stating power when someone mentioned it again a few days ago on KC I came back and now I browse every day and try to post to boost engagement. It's going to be a slow process but for every time you shill it on KC or other chans you could potentially bring 2 bernds back "home".

>>23691 No you fucking moron. If there's no gatekeeping then the site falls apart. It has to be natural and gentle or it becomes a chaotic horde of nigger faggots who bring in pedos.

>>23688 got deleted because it contained too many pedo threads even by kohl standards

>>23694 Mods are gatekeeping pretty well so far, but yeah inviting everybody in is certainly a bad idea. There are some threads, that are pretty low quality already, but fortunately they don't get much attention.

I like /int/ but /b/ already degenerated into 80% generals on the first page at all times. I don't like those circle jerks and I also don't like seeing most of the top threads just be repeats every single day.

>>23718 >/b/ already degenerated into 80% generals on the first page at all times. I don't like those circle jerks and I also don't like seeing most of the top threads just be repeats every single day. Finally. I thought I was the only one. Why these people want to post in the same threads everyday is a mystery to me. Go post in a forum, there you can have your threads with over 9000 posts on a single topic. Our /b/ is really bad already, but the worst offender is of course 4chans /g/.

>>23664 >I prefer to lurk most of the time and think about my Posts 5 Times before I post...80% of the Time I dont post in the End. The world would be a better place if more people behaved like that. >>23718 I think it's mainly two or three unemployed alcoholics whose only social contact is the drinking general and the Friday general that's more of a "chat and post pictures of cartoon girls" general. They're easy to hide, so I don't mind them too much.

>>23677 Sure, but it's not like the posting quality is incredibly high here as well, I don't think speed and quality are necessarily correlated.

>>23719 >but the worst offender is of course 4chans /g/. /g/ is bad, but 4chan's /b/ must be the worst board ever.

>>23719 >but the worst offender is of course 4chans /g/. What's so bad about generals? They are the only reason why I even use /g/, because you won't find this level of autistic discussion anywhere else. And I ain't gonna use forums where you have to register a fucking account.

>>23719 I think it makes sense for plac

>>23726 sorry, hit "Post" by accident. I think makes sense for places like /g/ or /tg/ since those are narrow in their subject. You'll hav people talking about mice or operating systems or whatever all the time so it kinda makes sense to bundle it. Then again, you're completely correct that at the end of the day a forum is the ideal place to have ongoing discussions like that But a place like /b/ specifically should have variety. Original tagline for /b/ was CHAOS. There's nothing chaotic about generals and it just fosters circle jerks forming parasocial relationships via spamming their gay anime images. Most of them (Sauf- and Freitagabend specifically) would ve happier on a Discord server, they just don't want to admit it. >>23720 >they're easy to hide I'm still a no catalog boomer and hiding is suboptimal since the threads still take up space on page1. If the next thread of page 2 would take its place I wouldn't mind as much. Still, just from a board culture perspective I'd try to avoid the formation of generals like that.

The German side here is over moderated just like Kohl. You can barely scroll without seeing admin red. And what does a 4 pph board needs sub directories for? My impression was that this board gets slowed down by the admin on purpose just like Ernst.

>>23734 But all bans I saw so far on /b/ were completely justified.

>>23694 It all depends on how the mods moderate. Even on imageboards there's a ton of moderation happening. kohl etc has pedo schizo stuff etc simple because the mods allow it.

>>23736 >completely justified doubt

>>23745 >kohl cancer >not justified No idea about the second one though, probably an attempt at ban evasion.

>>23647 >but it seems only a handful of those users have found their way here This is the answer to your question. >and even fewer regularly post here. People (after the first "wow" impact) realize it's slow, therefore keeps on posting on boards where they get faster replies to their threads/replies (as always). That said who's the owner of this board now? t. been here all summmer actually, not even that, just few weeks feels cozy though, especially because of the lack of all those borderline pedo threads, which were fewer and basically hidden only on /b/ on old KC Aslo, I see there's that supr sicret board like on OG KC :DDD :DD

>>23748 >Aslo, I see there's that supr sicret board like on OG KC :DDD :DD Yeah, I just use it to deposit lewds because some asexual identifying Bernd got mad that he has to see dressed and naked women on /b/.

>>23745 >accusing someone of shilling >then ban evading That was a justified ban.

>>23750 I also saw similar complaints by an Italyball on /int/. tbh, I don't mind being able to open KC without being blasted with tits and bagina and benis, but spoiler tags would be enough for my taste.

Its comfy.

subversive ernest elements making gay generals, calling for over moderation, curiously posting curt messages with a cunty tone at you for suggesting getting more people

>>23786 This reads like a line from a rap song.

Yeens, how cute ;3

>>23802 there's alliteration and assonance with some ad hoc syllable pattern

>>23822 Yeens are indeed cute.

I find it hard to interact with Ernsts. It's like they can feel that you are a Bernd and then they just ignore your posts and only interact with each otehr. But also as I got older I started to dislike image boards. It's like an eternal cycle of everyone posting more or less the same things over and over against. There is rarely anything interesting and I got too lazy to think of interesting posts myself.

>>23786 Again, what's wrong with generals?

>>23853 It's not just imageboards. It's life in general.

>>23854 They're like subreddits

>>23854 4chan has no culture anymore because it's all general circlejerks. Look at their /int/ to get an apples to apples comparison.

>>23861 4kanker /int/'s generals can hardly be compared to, say, a general music or video games thread. What a bizarre thing to complain about.

>>23859 >>23861 How about this: General threads are OK if they stay on their topic but are not ok when they turn into fucking /soc/ diary bullshit where u cant even discuss the topic anymore because everyone is too busy talking about off topic shit all the time.

>>23854 >>23864 how about we do separate but equal and all generals stay on a board designated for that. clearly the front page is majority generals and many dont like that

>>23865 Too extreme. Generals are somewhat part of modern imageboard culture for a reason. If they stay on their topic they are only half as bad. Problem is that they often dont. That needs to be fixed.

>>23862 What's the point of going to a general on 4/int/ just to hang around people from the same country as you? what's /int/ about that? Half of the countries with generals on 4/int/ have their own imageboards anyway.

>>23866 The problem is that topics usually get discussed through and then there's nothing to discuss anymore on the topic unless you just want to repeat the same stuff over and over again.

>>23867 I like to go to /sauna/ on 4chan/int/ sometimes to pass the time. Ylilauta is complete cancer and other Finnish imageboards are either dead or dying.

>>23868 Well an example for a bad general thread is the videogame thread on kohlchan /b/. You can barely talk about videogames there cause people are too busy talking about food and drinks and work and politics. That should be gassed tbh. They should tslk about gaming and nothing else.

>>23867 They are dreadful, yes. That's why they can hardly be compared to the general interest threads on here, that's what I meant.

The whole of /int/ is not able to come up with one good reason why generals are bad. Wow.

>>23873 -culture of circlejerk -they annoying faggots -talk about favorite avatarfags, troon posting anime they would have sex with, not on topic like topic based threads -whenever contained to a general thread, immediately start posting outside it because they themselves hate it

IMO the board is a bit faster now than when I first found it a few months back. It could be a little faster for my taste, mostly because I often see the same threads and I'm not too keen on posting in them. Having said that, posters here seem to take more time with their replies and treat each other with more respect, which I appreciate a lot. kohl is almost unbearable since a long time, save for the occasionally outstanding thread

>>23875 >posters here seem to take more time with their replies That's a benefit of a slower board. On fast boards threads die quickly which reduces motivation to spend time on your replies. Slow boards are more like sending letters to each other. You spend time on writing your letter and then you send it and go do something else while you wait for a reply and discussions can last days or weeks. But on a fast board the thread will have vanished in hours so there's not much point in making quality posts.

>>23738 Mods are merely a last line of defense. If the users who make up the majority of the population have to accept shit, then the culture will be shit. This is just a repeat of zzzchan arguing about 8chan's demise and succession and where the future of imageboards progress. Protip, its gonna rot into smaller boards repoasting the same shit like mintboard and sharty. Sharty is already in its demise and hasn't formed a scion yet. Ultimately I'm cynical of where it goes because that lightning in a bottle cannot be replicated under modern internet conditions as eternal September depends on the naivety of users blindly coming into boards without foreknowledge of the board and blandly applying their reddit tier assumptions or conditioning. If we're to accept that the medium is in decline, then where is the future without new users? The current base of 4chan is full of redditors who are cleaner, less keen on trolling, cannot stand anonymity and blindly accept moderation. These are huge issues and I think in my drunken state that eternal September becomes a decline into stagnant Autumn when users (newfag zoomers) are disinclined to learn about the board culture of a potential new home for them because its too intimidating for their retarded short term memory and the lacking of Bernds who remain to ever teach the ways of proper shitposting or gatekeeping. This in form causes dilution of a culture that should really just disappear. Krautchan died when it did and should never have had a spiritual successor(s) as it'll be this repetitive and irritating burnout of cyclical nostalgia and old bernds reminiscing about the past like some fucking boomers instead of just joining a new board like how it was in the past.

This thread proves why it was a mistake to invite Ernsts to this board.

>>23658 Yeah, to me the best boards are slower ones. You don't have to always keep hitting f5 and be ready for serious discussion. If you want fast and endless streams of discussion I would recommend twitter and such. Kc is at peak comfy when you can chill and look at different threads in your own time

>>24219 >I would recommend twitter and such. Nah, politics poisoned every other forum, I'm glad it's relatively contained here.

>>24219 there's not even enough traffic to check the site once a day

>>23647 dead imageboard probably there only 5 active imageboards 4chan 2ch (russian) 2ch (japan) Soyjack party Lolcow board

>>24225 Why don't you just exclusively use sosach instead of the English language ones

>>24227 maybe because your mother is dead slute

>>23854 One look into Freitagabend-thread should answer that question.

This site is reasonably active during European hours. It’d be nicer if more people were here but it’s not exactly dead.

>>24225 There's a few other active boards. Zzzchan being one of them. Mintboard is fairly active and then there's more specialty boards. Soyjak is likely the more younger, faster and popular one but its running its course. No idea how crystal.cafe or lolcow.farms or wizchan is doing. I'm also sure 7chan is still dead.

>>24300 I don’t participate in those threads, but what’s wrong with them?

Fast boards aren't necessarily good. If you spam political ragebait in every thread then you'll have a fast board but it becomes a shit one to post on.

>>24365 This. Also there arent many people left on Kohl who could come here. Its literally a few bots, a handful of political/economical pali shills on int and a bunch of schizophrenics shitposting with themself in their own thread during episodes.

>>24384 *Paki shills

Because the moderation is like ernstchan. I was banned for saying faggot, and looking at the main page just now, someone else was just banned for posting statistics on homos.

We are older now and busy with wörk wörk wörk

>>24384 Yeah, sure man, that's why int here is so faster and interesting right? "Mmm blackberries yummy" is literally a thread on here, that's how bad things are.

>>24365 Nobody said that, slow boards aren't necessarily good either. You can have a fast board with little shit, if the moderation is right.

>>24388 >I was banned for saying faggot You where banned for your constant stream of low effort shitposts, dipshit!

>>24402 sage isnt a down vote, im not seeing any kind of post volume to qualify as spam

>>24393 the shitposts must equal the serious discussions. the sprit of spurdo vs spede must remain in balance

>>24442 I don't think it's a shitpost anyway, it's serious discussion about blkackberries t. blackberry OP

>>24446 Maybe they don't have Black Berries in England.

>>24446 Maybe the blackberry thread is a Spede thread and not a Spurdo thread.

>>24450 That would explain how England-ball is as sour as blackberries during early summer :DDD

>>23734 >>23853 >>24166 >>24388 This. Bernds don't feel like being around either ernst cancer that this board and its mods are infected with, or kohl pedos. What a shocker, another attempt at recreating the real original KC has failed.

>>24457 An really original KC, specially like pre-Winnenden could probably never exist today. It was a special kind of chaos, which mostly worked, because the average Bernd was pretty young at this time. But as time went on, many Bernds grew up. Others radicalized over politics over on Kohl and the Ernsts started acting like boomers even back then. So something like oldKC could only happen, with a fresh set of young Bernds, doing their own thing. And it would probably the biggest cringe any Bernst has ever seen. But given the average attention span of a today teen and many young adults, that probably would never happen in the first place.

>>24457 EC 2025 felt a lot more like KC 2010 than EC 2010.

>>23647 >slow not really. also: it loads stuff way, WAY faster than kohl.

KC now is like 4chan, no more lolis here

>>24478 ok and?

>>24478 Wow, so true. Now commit suicide.

>>24479 This is why OP think is more slow KC, less bernds come here for the new rules >>24480 Why? Italy is always really retarded

>>24493 I prefer slow over pedo. Don't you?

>>24495 I think is less dangerous, in this term yes, i prefer slow, but, i think footnik and other pokemons of here are funny guys and is like a KC pets, a rarity that gives flavor, something balanced would be nice, because otherwise KC becomes a generic site

>>24495 This ernst-induced cerebral phimosis is as bad as pedoscum-enabling. Every time someone tries to claim the heritage of the real KC it turns out to be a group of annoying clowns that used to get shunned and ridiculed there.

>>24495 The more people talk about Kohl the more I wish I could fucking find it. I must be retarded.

>>24499 Just make your own imageboard with blackjack and bitches.
