Is Lemmy THE reddit alternative for you? Are you thinking about moving somewhere else? (self.asklemmy)

4chan legitimately still beats lemmy and anything else. Slap on a bunch of decent filters and it's far more entertaining and useful than both reddit and lemmy combined.

That’s a rather interesting take. Care to share your filters?

Normally I'd just tell you all to kiss my nuts but ok, we're not actually on that site, we're on another one.

If I shared all my filters here I'd probably get my account banned in 5 seconds due to tripping so many keywords.

Just Google "recommended 4chan filters" and then check a couple of threads FROM 4chan for examples.

Obvious ones would be:

<blocking every single memeflag if you intend to use /pol/>
furry, wypipol, gay, guro, rekt, gore, ukraine, russia, trans, etc etc etc (basically anything pornographic (use regex))
MD5 sums for all the "rainbow priests" and other bs the merchants are always spamming. Awesome thing about these is that as soon as you block these, it blocks everything else these morons use. Forces them to recreate the images if they want people to keep seeing them. It's pretty big-brain and you need a high IQ to understand and I'm too tired right now.

After setting up a decent filters list. eg. no memeflags, no porn, no rekt/gore, no trans etc. the site is pretty awesome. Plenty of hilarious schizo stuff, high quality bantz and because there's no karma and generally no rules people don't focus on fighting or arguing by trying to one-up each other. They just call each other a f*g and usually immediately move on.

Obviously not recommended if you are someone who is actually remotely offended by casual sexism, racism etc. aka you need to at least not have the fragility of a two year old child.

I also recommend:

/pol/ only with half-decent filters otherwise it's 90% merchant spam /wsg/ /an/ /v/ /vm/ /g/ /k/ /biz/ if you're okay with losing money lol

Or if you want something megawholesome: frenschan.org
