Enjoy your stay

>>7314 I hope to liven things up

Can I fondle you?

>>7318 Stop groping new hikarins...

>>7319 why not? this place is so sweet and juicy i can't wait to have you all in my tight embrace!

>>7313 welcome hikarin. glad to have you here with us. i agree that much of the internet has lost its charm. social media is quite bad, and doomscrolling YT doesn't feel much better. it's nice to have refuges like this.

Frierenfag! I want to fon Internet has never had any charm. The only thing that's gone is easy access to free, anonymous communication on the large scale. The software and means to facilitate that still exist, but amount of people interested in that is exceedingly small, and those who are interested are mainly computer freaks aka programmers, neets etc. There used to be more diversity. Social media arguably consumed internet.

>>7324 cut me some slack, i keep my frierens to the game night thread usually. i don't know. maybe it is just nostalgia but the internet used to have sovl. nowadays the entire world is online, and have congregated into a handful of big sites. i still find a glimpse of that old internet feel by digging for niche sites and communities. it's not all bad.

>>7325 where do you dig for those communities!?

>>7326 Lots of altchans link to more altchans.

>>7326 yeah as the hikarin above me said altchans usually lead to more altchans. altchans are kinda my go-to since they have a homey feeling i can't really describe. they really do feel like an oasis away from the modern internet, even if they aren't heavily trafficked or have lesser post quality. i also have a good time browsing neocities and other personal sites. i enjoy reading random blogs people make on their personal sites that aren't really expected to be read. i get to see a glimpse of someone's story and personality without having a face or even a name behind it. like reaching into the void and plucking out a random person's thoughts and memories. i don't do this on sites like Twitter where most people are bland NPC's, but if someone cares enough to make a sovlful looking site and post on it i'll browse. sometimes when i am sad i read through old forums just to see what people talked about when i was still in elementary school. i don't really know how to describe why i do all of this. it's kinda like internet-based travel or archeology to me.

fondling isn't groping groping is an act of lust and sin but fondling is an act of love and affection!

Hikarichanners want to be groped and fondled, they love being molested!

you will molest me?

What's with all of this talk of fondling?

are you flustered?

providence has seen that those posts got deleted in what i surmise to be a reversion of the site state, but you absolutely have to show off your gay character to everyone. godspeed hikarin

>>7354 So?

I am also a newfren of this site! look at this roon I found

>>7356 welcome hikarin. nice roon!

>>7357 Thank you!

>>7356 I'm also a newfren, hi! This place seems very nice

>>7359 so many new hikarins where have you all come from?

>>7360 I'm from the pissu

>>7361 分かった。 well, enjoy your stay! this is the comfiest imageboard on the net

>>7360 i was web sleuthing across imageboards and found this place. Usually i'm very cautious with visiting anime imageboards because a some of them would qualify among the worst places on the clear web, but i finally found a imageboard that's comfy, and where i can interact without nsfw, flame wars, politics, and bait everywhere! I can tell Hikarins are real people with soul

>>7365 indeed. we try to keep all of that off the site. there are many other places to post that kind of stuff. hope you enjoy your stay.

>>7365 what do you mean? all usable imageboards i have ever seen have been friendly with anime

>>7372 I meant imageboards dedicated to it entirely. Usually they end up turning into something relatively nice, or they turn into heyuri...

What's your problem with heyuri? Bbcspam is gone, moderation?

>>7389 probably the fact that the site is one giant circlejerk

fwiw zzzchan's /b/ is *somewhat* better than heyuri but still is mostly faggotry

>>7313 hai! I am new too! I'm probably going to be lurking for a bit, but I hope people will be patient if I post before I'm totally ready I don't have much chan experience, but I never really used or liked most social media, especially ones that are account focused or have an algorithm. I also like being anonymous the other places I've tried to hang out are not comfy and very bad for me so I hope this place is different! ^w^

we need :exasperated:

>>7395 epic emoji fail

>>7395 is good for that

>>7398 No we need hikarin that is exasperated. Like , but with a hint of being tired of certain things
