I used to like 4chan's /jp/, but it's been utterly devastated in recent years, and I'm not just talking about the typical cultural rot that's plagued the site for years.

1. half of the board is now dedicated to idols and vtuber generals.
2. the users of these threads often bump touhou threads with their inane crappy posts in order to bump their old generals off the board, so that they can make new general threads with refreshed image limits.
3. to combat this (I think), the moderators added a two-week autosage to all threads, which now means that any slower and more thoughtful threads will always die within a few weeks.
4. the moderators do little to stop trolls and mentally ill shitposters from derailing and shitting up threads they don't like, or even threads that they DO like. at least one of them is actively protected by the mods.
5. the hack split up the board, and now most /jp/sies have fled to other imageboards, never to return. the activity on the board is way down just like it is for the rest of the site.

it's just in such a sorry state that it's heartbreaking
