4chan,/b/ and safety

>>17263390
Not sure if I totally understand your question, but here goes. You're on the advice board, which is a SFW (safe for work) part of 4chan. The "shocking" stuff is on b, and likely other NSFW boards. Just avoid those. I'm not so tech savvy as to say that you can individually filter the stuff you see on 4chan, but maybe other folks can chime in here.

1. Lurk more
2. Don't click on gifs
3. Don't browse /b/ or /x/
5. Recognize that those things aren't even that common on this website
6. Die alone and afraid

Just don't go there, I still don't understand why people keep thinking 4chan = /b/

/b/ is pretty tame these days. Compare it to 6 +years ago and its more and more like a reddit board.

Im one of those people that hates animal cruelty and gore but find myself so intrigued i have to look. Then regret it.

Honestly the longer you do or see something the easier it gets. Plus if yoube been here long enough you know the thumbnail .gifs to avoid.

Maybe stay away from /b/ /x/ and any non porn threads in /gif/

Why would you bother with /b/?
Seriously, I just went over there and it's even shittier than 5 years ago, but yes, it's more harmless.

/b/ was 50% gore and cp when I first came here

This.

Been part of the Chan since 2006. 07 to 09 were /b/'s prime days

/b/ was fucking disgusting back then, I would never go.

sadly the small boards are starting to suck though

I just want back to /b/ to gather a look

despite being /b/tards, the people seem to answer post like actually humans and not meme generating bots.

they seem genuinely smarter than posters on /pol/ or /r9k/ but that is not saying much

>/b
/b turns over way too fast to do anything meaningful in it. Don't understand those, for whom /b is their mainstay

Don't share anything that might give a hint of your location?

/b is now full of fag threads. Once in a while there is some funny shit in there but most of the other threads are repetitive with no oc.

Just sent there for the first time since 2008. Man the catalog really changed everything. Used to be if you lost track of a thread on page 1 you'd never see it again.
