The different boards of 4chan have vastly different cultures. The tech board isn't much different than what you'd find on Lemmy. It's filled with Linux and Free Open Source Software geeks who love to ~~interject~~ argue over the finer points of operating systems.

There was a poster on 4chan's math and science board who solved a previously unsolved math problem.

The video game board sometimes sings songs from games

A large scale protest against Scientology also started on 4chan.

The negative stuff you hear about 4chan almost always stems from the boards that have little to no moderation. The boards with moderation aren't much different than Reddit or Twitter. Actually, Twitter might be worse nowadays.

b is the majority of the traffic and therefore the face of 4chan.

I personally spend a lot of time on advice trying my best to prevent more incels from forming or an heros

An hero... What a throwback.

I cringe to think about it but I was friends with the person who took over the Myspace page after the family deleted it. Myspace deleted the new page before I met her so I thought it was bullshit but she proved it with the sign up emails.
