How much do you think this website is under the influence of other, more popular websites?
| Danger/u/ seems to be pretty isolated because of its obscurity, consistent userbase, and anonymity. But there's also a lot of crossover content with what I see on the danger/u/ discord server, which, like it or not, is a lot like any other discord server. You would surprise me if you could show that certain people on /new/ are not chronic twitter users.
Would you say that this website is truly different from larger social media? Or is it the same culture in a different format?
| since every other user is a consumer of said mainstream internets culture, parasitic influence of which is seemingly more prevalent in the minds of local denizens than whatever quirky not-like-the-other-board stuff is a thing here - yes you would say that
and like you would say that everyone is a relative due to common ancestor - so you would say that everyone is a part of the same culture due to common ancient ancestral ideas
| tied in a truly world wide web of globally agreed upon and unspoken social contracts we sign up to - you could postulate that rare few posess true originality, and even those that do are more often than not led by what they seen, heard and learned. meme man once said free will is a myth, religion is a joke, and a meme was passed onto us
| but cringe meme it was. man may act in bad faith, misled into belief of his lack of choice, succumbing his will to the external, his true self buried under what is of convinience. yet true self there is, an unbounded, intangible something, that which thought of the first word ever uttered, that which once touched the akashic records. the capability authentic act is what truly define a man from a gene carrier, moves him from realm of statistic animals to realm of divine
| so that said, maybe that quirky little thing is what makes this pocket of degeneracy differennt from the larger social space
seems like a regurgitated twitter feed to me tho lol lmao
| >>151c94 not a twitter user. It's not worth participating in a discussion there.
There's a sort of sliding scale somewhere on how much of a normie you are, and I think the users of this site are detached enough from the wider web world that people won't be able to easily transfer between places. Things may come in, but little goes out, so whatever is going on in this site is mainly contained here, creating a unique environment. Even the fact this is an anon textboard changes a lot
| haha haha
| A lot, this place is too small to be the main internet community for anybody, the biggest shared "culture" is having played va11halla, aka probably liking videogames and internet/cyberpunk subculture but that is very generic and applies to most non-normie internet communities
| >>850765 i doesn't use platforms as FB because i don't like being under my real name and twitter is too much political.. i just like lewd things, videogames, IT, and having sympathy for styles like akibakei or yumi kawaii.. i hate communism, and love capitalism. I love cyberpunk, lain and feel sympathy for asian culture. And basically i'm living as hikki if doesn't count days when i must visit uni.

>sicp meme
>terry davis
>anime and videogames
>cyberpunk
yeah, a culture all of its own
| We definitely have inspiration from 4chan here on danger/u/
| Not TOO much. Just a bit of influence from other places.

I mean, I've heard of worse ideas than a floating independent nation-state. But I also have a hard time not romanticizing the black market.
I wish I could go to an underground market and pick up explosive shotgun rounds with my weekly groceries.

| The central broadcasting social media websites have become and are increasingly one cultural monolith. Not only do posts get shared between them (screenshots or reposting images) one quite often sees ideas and attitudes that are common across them. For specific examples, we previously had the stereotype of the idiot tumblr user become youtube's Feminist SJW and the Horny! Bonk meme and such have been part of a long trend towards a more sexually conservative internet.
