      4chan, particularly Anonymous, has definitely done good before:

      • Project Chanology
      • Operation Payback
      • Arab Spring Support
      • Breach of HBGary Federal

      and more

      There were some okay boards like /a/ and /vg/. The rest was pure trash. I used to play warframe and world of tanks and /vg/ had a pretty decent thread (but that was like 10? Years ago) where you could find other players and discuss builds.

      /a/ was okay but as soon as reddit (which i stopped using too) had a decent anime community i left from that too since it was mostly shitposting.

      Unironically /g/ sometimes had some good threads for recommending used laptops.

      The past 5? years I barely visited it since every single board became a breeding ground for hate speech, trolling and shitposting. I checked time to time if things became better but nope. I decided it was better to just check reddit (and now lemmy) communities that highlighted the funny posts.

      Yooo that’s like, your opinion man. I’ve often encountered some legit amazing stuff there. It really is the place where 80IQ and 120IQ people mingled, with the 120IQ people pretending to be retards and the 80IQ people pretending to be smart.
