Seems like everyone here is having trouble making friends. So let's create a denpa-themed version of /frengen/!

binnie (from robin), 25. midatlantic u.s

i love the process of creation, the act of self expression. there is nothing i'd like more from sharing myself in this way than to find someone that i could talk about and maybe collaborate on music production together, although i am always perfectly happy when i can talk about the beauties of the world, the difficulties of the process, or those sorts of things.

i also happen to generally get a great deal of enjoyment out of speaking over the phone. i've been doing it for a long time so it's very comfy to me. i enjoy writing letters as well.

my d//is//cor//d name is five thousand written with numerals, no comma. binnie@ravemail.com in case i mistake you for spam, or if you want my telegram or matrix.

Guess i should’ve actually written a bio or sumn since everyone else is doing it. Really love just talking to anyone about anything but specifically deeper conversations. I have a deep fascination with people who are outside of the norm and love to hear what they have to say/think. I also enjoy bouncing ideas off of each other in casual conversation leading into more serious conversations.

Disgusting /r9k/ tier namefag discord thread.

>>11
spread those ass cheeks you thug

>>9 >>11
true
but still I think some people are not anonymous, and use tripcodes, names, even links to profiles on other websites

>>8
shouldn't speak like that on denpa, it's not a chan, go back to your scumcave, channie

>>10 hey cutie UwU
are you like Carl Brutanunanulewski? I like him.

There is a reason /soc/ is considered to be the worst board on 4chan and there is a reason why /r9k/ and /lgbt/ are the very close to being the second worst boards. It's the people, who break their anonymity for dubious reasons. Socializing and treating the Internet like a meta-meatspace is what make it so much worse than it could be.

>>14
So many alternative messaging networks just to avoid using XMPP. XMPP has been around for decades, has good crypto, is actually decentralized, and most importantly isn't a fad that will die off as quick as it come as soon as it's gimmick gets boring or broken. I'd say Matrix is fine, as long as you use a home server and not matrix.org.

Just make a IRC or something if you want to talk so bad, why would you want to openly reveal your identity?

>>13

it's not a chan

Denpa is a altchan (i think that is the name of chans that dont want to be 4chan), or what ever it is named.

The proper thing to say is that they should fuck off to 4chan.

>>16

Agreed, why does everyone those shitty centralized im's, why not xmpp?
What so scary about xmpp?

>>16
XMPP, Mastodon, email, IRC, www makes you to be at mercy of server owner.
I had xmpp id, server I used has been shut down. I can't authorize & login with my id to another xmpp server instance. Lost contacts, friendlist.

alternative to run own server is not easy. hosting. domain. ssl. time consuming.

stuff in >>14 is
serverless, friend2friend.

https://yesterweb.org/#pseudonymity

communication in network is a function of trust calculation

hey Anonymous-kun, why don't you dilute overtone borders of your group identity & be friend with Pseudonymous-chan? Don't say "NEVAH1"

>>20

Self hosting is not that hard.

>>18

altchan

It's called an "imageboard". "Altchan" is the name 4chan folks give non-4chan places implying they are the hub of the world and all other imageboards are just alternatives to the real deal.

>>23
4chan is the hub of the world. We 4channers OWN this irrelevant shithole, get over it.

>>24
4chan is an altchan

>>25
It isnt.

>>23
Denpa is a CHAN. Look at this sites URL.

>>26
Can't argue with that, tbh.

4chanocentric model world view need to go

I wish more people used Matrix or what is sometimes called Element

>>29
Matrix is the chat protocol, Element is a client to utilise said protocol.

>>20
Maybe Delta Chat is something https://delta.chat/

>>31

based on email servers

That has to be a joke. What were they thinking?

Maybe using one of the oldest and truest of decenralized systems already in use? But then there are some spezial "stripped down" mail servers just for Delta Chat

>>21
Yesterweb is gay.

How are you supposed to make friends online in 2026? Discord is a cesspool, but there are few other places with large communities of people looking to make friends.

necrobump award

>>35
just like randomly reach out to people idk sometimes ill see someone make something cool and start talking to them

>>36
Where?

>>37
email, comment sections, private messages? it's really not that complicated

Even if we had common interests and values, we probably wouldn't get along because I prefer very structured, goal-oriented socializing. I've wanted to start a cult (or something like it) for many years now.

>>39
This is why I enjoy the DenpaTuber stuff. It's socializing with the goal of proliferating a sort of art movement.

I have friends already. What i want is a gf or a femboy but those seem impossible to find

>>41
>>42
this ain't a dating app brah also you a fucking fed cuz
"age:17" and then "intrestings:watchingprn"???? plus rule 6 plus don't date people online???

>>43
You are my least favorite poster on this board

>>43
I am not 41

This thread is a norman trojan horse, do not listen to Eris's sirens.

>>43
yeah, agree with >>44 .

please stop name-fagging.
please stop making the "15 recently active threads" list one large shit hashbrown of your posts.
i dont care what your opinion is.
that is, im never going to care what your opinion is, because you have continued to make a habit out of devaluing the anonymity of the board, use discord syntax (which lowers the overall quality of discussion) and have generally been one of the most frequent posters to engage in fights with other people.

>>47
I wholeheartedly agree as well. Please stop namefagging.

it's kinda amusing that the only reason there can be any negative reaction to all "meat's" posts is because they all have the name attached. there have definitely been more annoying users on here, and their lack of name didn't save them from being identified across threads and called out. that one othodox poster comes to mind (or did they namefag too? i can't remember that was like... over a year ago? time is mysterious)

you'll never stop me

>>44
>>47
>>48
"namefag" lmao (i use meat on my posts because it's my username on everything else i use)

>>21
Quality post, much appreciated. TBH my initial mental reaction was "fuck you for doing what i want to do", being a contrarian, but I'm glad someone came forward with decent relevant material.

>>50
The key to good namefagging is baiting somebody into a sincere conversation then later naming yourself with tripcode as somebody they didn't expect to get sense from. This is someting I've yet to acieve personal proof of, yet :P

please stop making the "15 recently active threads" list one large shit hashbrown of your posts.

There are links to the other boards accessable at the top and front pages, you know.
What you could do is browse the archive of posts (there's some c00l stuff there!) and note which boards your favorite conversations are coming from. Browsers allow you to bookmark pages, too!

Alternatively you could namefag yourself and learn to play the complex social game. It's fun :)

>>52
i should figure out how exactly to use a tripcode or whatever it is i mean i know what it's used for but im not sure how to use it myself? if that makes sense

i have figured it out and am definitely the real and authentic meat.

>>54
what a weirdo

please stop derailing

namefags derail thread, hilarity ensues

the tread is a bad thread at conception so the new purpose is to show how terrible an idea of trying to meet people online through the most bandwidth limited format availble is.

the real thing yall need to turn into a friend meet group is youtube. maybe use a tag to make other people in the same niche able to find eachother and blast your whole ass personality for all to see.
a/s/l is so dumb.

>>47
That last reason is why I do not want to post here anymore.

>>47
"fights with people" sorry for not being a yes man i guess? a lotta the stuff i get posted is absolutely stupid (like needless antisemitism)and is it not fine to argue about stuff that's how you get actual productive discussion?

>>60
Yea, I saw what those guys in the →/read.cgi/lounge/1774134023 thread said.

Two anonymous strangers making a small back-and-forth joke about the site admin POTENTIALLY being jewish (!!!11!!)

Just to have a namefag like you come along to tell them to "shut the hell up"

What kind of websites are you using where telling someone to "shut the hell up" has ever resulted in an actually productive discussion? just face it, you have a nasty habit of getting in the middle of other peoples conversations
