I think most people here left Reddit when Spez started the thing with the API and asserted his dominance during the protests. That's when we learned it's not our platform, but his. And he has a very different vision for the place.
People who properly like 4chan don't really mix with other people. It's for trolling, shitposting, sharing porn and gore amongst random stuff or shouting at each other. More anarchy than other places. And filled with incels and 14 year olds. I mean it's a bit more than that and it has it's unique culture. But there isn't really an overlap with people who like places like this one. This is less anarchy, you can discuss your Linux server adminisration woes here without getting yelled at. Or share pictures of your crocheting pieces. Of course also memes and pictures.
So in summary: Where else would I be? I'm not 14 anymore and Reddit gave me the finger.
