i got board of browsing 4chan, it became repetitive seeing the exact same threads over and over again, and my go-to altchans where either offline or became stale. i've seen a bunch of threads on alternative imageboards being shilled on /b/, a dozen at least, i lurked and posted on these imageboards, but a lot where cut from the same cloth, they had the same issues, became dead, or where quickly abandoned. out of all the imageboards i tried out the only one that resonated with me was heyuri. it was charming seeing a imageboard not trying to be the new 4chan, and even though heyuri takes a lot from le old internet, it still has its own unique culture, which is cool.
