Somehow 4chan sounds like a healthier option.

As long as you stay off b/ and pol/ it probably could be.

Even pol/ has pro Ukraine and pro Russia posts. It’s not tailored to only show you only one worldview.

Well I was talking more about the kind of people frequenting those boards, not necessarily the content.

It is kind of wild to me that out of all the websites on the internet, 4chan of all places remains one of the few where you stand a chance of seeing a relatively unbiased set of viewpoints. As in, there's no algorithm or underlying agenda promoting certain posts to you and not others. You're going to see posts from users all over the world and they are going to contain every conflicting opinion that mankind is able to hold.

In some ways it reminds me of Lemmy, in that way. I'm glad to hang out with this population instead of that one though. 4chan has had a bit of a reputation for a decade or two now, and the kinds of folks that are drawn to that reputation are usually something of a self-selecting crowd of assholes. I was one of them when I was a teen but I grew out of it.

Lemmy is more beholden to the “upvote algorithm” though, where the most popular posts (and engagement bait) tends to snowball and more obscure posts get less attention.

4chan is chronological. It’s more pure, in a way.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
