You hate the decadence of mainstream platforms, yet you are unwilling to put in the slightest effort to change the status quo.

>In the 90s and 2000-10s we had the traditional hackers who built up the majority of modern tech infrastructure in protocols most people now considered "dated".
>Okay, fair. Now, tell me, "most people", huh? Where are the hackers of the 2020s working now?
>Oh..
>[...]
>... You mean to tell me that the majority of software development is commandeered over [mainstream websites]?
>...That C autists also do this?
>...That the majority of video game modders also do this?
>...And that, it appears that the majority of programmers visible to the public appear to all be doing this even if it makes them look completely retarded to anyone who isn't on these centralized platforms?

A 17,000-word essay on the state of the internet is not "high quality". It is not original. Simply relying on "decentralized protocols" and an "anti-mainstream" attitude will never build a vibrant community. The true path forward lies in shedding ideological obsessions and actively embracing those "mainstream" people who are willing to create and build, and using that bridge to breathe new life into the web.

>Many altchans, modern forums, and generally most alternative spaces on the Internet have a very incorrect perception about what makes a space "Good",

Why do you think you deserve a "better Internet" if you aren't going to work for it? You reap what you sow.

Making a reminder thread again since I'm afraid not many people check the front page or forget about them easily. There is around 1.5 months until teh event

There's enough information @ https://www.heyuri.net/#news77 , the important part is that this year we are experimenting with a 2 day bunkasai for the first time, so mark both these days: 2026/09/19 (Sat) and 2026/09/20 (Sun)

Also notice it's earlier than the previous years - it seems Japanese high schools hold theirs around early autumn too (unlike what wikipedia suggested), and this way we don't have another event right after halloween.

For those who joined Heyuri recently: bunkasai means "cultural festival", the event you always see in school animu, where classes spend weeks preparing fun stuff (meido cafes, haunted houses, some performances...) and then everyone and their friends wander around and enjoy each others' works. On Heyuri it means releasing projects, OCs, or just small gimmicks you have been working on, alone or with cooperation of other Heyurizens. There are no limits to what u can do, and no such thing as "too small contribution"
Even if you have been neglecting until nao, over a month should be plenty of time to come up with something.

For inspiration, the contents of previous 3 bunkasai are archived on Museum@Heyuri: https://museum.heyuri.net/bunkasai/ (I will prepare a proper index sometime...)

As far as I remember, the current rule about posting 3D lolis is that you can do it as long as you don't sexualize them (and that they are not in an obviously sexual position themselves). Now I'll admit that I've been warned for posting sexually charged comments about JC's before, but I've also gotten a few deletions for images that I made with completely benign captions and that weren't sexual. Of course, I'd like to upload the image in question along with my comment, but they got deleted and I don't want to break the rules.

I can describe it though: It was a JS age girl sitting on a bed in her pyjamas (nothing revealing) and I said something about "you should play board games with your daughter and teach her strategic skills". It got deleted and I'm really confused and feeling pretty heartbroken. I think that posting cute girls can brighten our days, make us happier, and make life better for all of us.

I would appreciate a clarification on where the line is, and I apologize for accidentally crossing it if so. Also, I posted a picture of a JK's bare breasts that I downloaded from twitter, that image had thousands of likes and was weeks old, so I thought it was legal. I apologize to the mods for causing them trouble.I hope I can understand the rules and not break them again.
Thank you!

This website is gonna go to shit unless the mods remove the fucking politics, ai, and porn threads off /b/.
There are some good and funny threads that are on page 4 and 5 that have not had time to mature because they have been drowned out this fucking trash.

I do not want to see threads about american politics or happenings.
I do not want to see threads talking about covid.
I do not want to see threads about hating men/women.
I do not want CP cached onto my browser.

The entire point of Heyuri is to avoid this shit, is it not?

I don't like the thread watcher. It's not enough for me to turn it off in the settings, I want it gone for everyone.

Remove it or else, you've been warned

I think the loli outside of /l/ rule is being applied too strictly now. It's to the point that almost any mentions of lolis in a thread or in a reply get deleted.

Make yeah! a different colour so it sticks out moar

Please go fuck yourself heyuri, you are too fuckin anti social

Testing for webp support.

I recently created my own IRC network called BullyNETs that I would like to promote on Heyuri if the admins are interested.

It's a small thing, but it may interest the netizens of Heyuri.

Check it out and reply if interested:

to alleviate the AI generation thing, should AI content threads be relegated to one specific thread as a rule? /l/ is almost exclusively AI now and is virtually unbrowsable (not to mention it's always metaforced into threads where noone asked for it at all), make it so it all has to go into one thread and then it can be hidden by the user if they so wish

you should institute a new policy. Whenever you feel like moving a thread on /b/ to another board where it "fits" better, consider letting it run its course for a week, and when its about to autosage, move it then. Otherwise your policy is tantamount to "if you have a loli image in your OP, your thread is banished to a board no one checks".

you may need to rethink banning the word "zoomer". At the time rule 8 was written, it was imageboard slang that fit with the other banned words, but 6 years later it is now a common term.

Similarly, "boomer" has been around for decades. But if those terms arent going to be unbanned, what should we call people from the baby boomer generation and generation z?

Why is the refresh button at the bottom of threads gone?

The site has been loading very slowly for me recently, and I get Cloudflare errors every time I try to log on at first (though it always loads after a refresh). Is anyone else having this issue?
