It's an interesting movie: it <br>encourages us to doubt objectivity, reality, virtue, truth while<br>also encouraging the audience to sympathize with a psychotic vandal,<br>criminal, killer. <br><br>20+ years after the fact, I'll say Donny Darko is not so "DEEP" or<br>world changing, especially relative to all the multiverse / timeline<br>hopping stuff that became so trendy since its release, but it's still<br>a fine movie to watch and enjoy for its general conceit... multichan/0chan.vip down https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1729791464 2024-10-24T17:37:44+00:00 2024-11-02T08:40:08+00:00 0chan.vip (multichan) is down. <br>unavailable.<br><br>the last bastion of truth & freedom. a truly decentralized federated multichan <br>bbs without js bloat.<br><br>bring it back. <br>pohon is not a replacement because it's not a decentralized multichan.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Disable Gikopoi Firewall? https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1726241774 2024-09-13T15:36:14+00:00 2024-10-30T22:46:09+00:00 Should I disable the Gikopoi firewall that keeps out (primarily) Tor<br>users? A lot of people have complained about this over the years; <br>largely I've felt that if people want to use Gikopoi, there should be<br>no problem in using their normal IP address and that there is no good<br>reason for using Tor -- no countries block gikopoi.com and information<br>is already encrypted via HTTPS if people are concerned about roommates<br>or government spying on them. <br><br>However, at the same time I acknowledge that there may be interesting<br>(yet mentally ill) people who will only use Tor or whatever sketchy <br>VPNs the firewall blocks that are not necessarily pedophiles/spammers. <br><br>If this experiment goes wrong, it only takes 2 seconds to turn the<br>firewall back on. So, I open this question up to the audience. Does Anonymity really improve discourse? https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1716535805 2024-05-24T07:30:05+00:00 2024-10-30T22:38:09+00:00 By anonymity, I really mean anonymity -- not pseudonymous communities<br><br>Anonymity lowers the barrier to entry... for people who prefer <br>anonymous communities. But a lot of people who want to invest a lot of<br>real energy into a community, people who want to put work into serious<br>projects, are not going to prioritize an imageboard over something <br>like Discord or Twitter. <br><br>The main purpose of imageboards is to give a toilet to the internet.<br>Need to blow off steam? Vent? Post a dick pic? Get involved in petty<br>debates? Or are you such a brain damaged person that you get banned<br>from "mainstream" internet constantly -- you're the target audience<br>for 4chan. <br><br>Textboards and Gikopoi seem to have less tendency to go to complete<br>ass than imageboards, so anonymity does not automatically imply shit.<br>But this may just be due to the fact that these communities are very<br>small -- and they have less bias against pseudonymity than imageboards<br>As a counter-example, look at Sageru IRC for something that's generally<br>lower quality than /b/, /soc/, /pol/ etc <br><br>On places like IRC, Gikopoi, Mastodon, and other low-barrier pseudonymous<br>communities, mentally ill people and naughty children are easily blocked,<br>which creates a negative feedback loop that incentivizes the posters to<br>either shape up or get out. On the other hand, with an imageboard, when <br>trolling, someone can flame himself in the comments to keep himself in the<br>spotlight -- an anti-feature. <br><br>So my basic opinion is that anonymous and pseudonymous communities are<br>essentially equally good when small, and that as communities scale,<br>anonymous communities fare worse. This makes me think that gatekeeping<br>is actually not a bad thing. I can't imagine that Something Awful would<br>have done well without the $10 account registration fee, and something<br>like Reddit wouldn't work without karma. Anonymous communities have no<br>means by which to gatekeep, which is ultimately to their detriment <br><br>What do you think?

Playing poker https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1720976773 2024-07-14T17:06:13+00:00 2024-07-14T17:06:13+00:00 How do you like playing poker? <br><br>Me, my favorite is Omaha Hold'Em or 5 card draw. My friends like Texas<br>Hold Em though. The only poker they knew of was Texas Hold Em. It's <br>not a bad game, but I think introducing more variants could be fun --<br>we currently go for "dealer's choice" in our games. <br><br>If you have any variant ideas... would love to hear them... trying a<br>few hands of the original 4 player, 20 card poker could be fun too, <br>maybe I'm being unrealistic. <br><br>We usually start with 40-50 "points" per player. This can last quite a<br>while. Betting rules are pretty minimal -- you can't raise in a round<br>if you previously checked or called, and you can't re-raise if you<br>raised and no one else raises. We don't have any betting minimums or<br>maximums in play but pot-limit may be a good approach if anyone, err,<br>plays against the vibe. We tend to double the blinds every 15 minutes or<br>so to help speed things along. <br><br>It would be great to play poker with other gikos sometime, whether for<br>money (gikocoins?) or prestige. stylesheet thread https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1720824245 2024-07-12T22:44:05+00:00 2024-07-13T17:33:47+00:00 talk about pohon stylesheets here<br>here are various site features to test<br>>gtxt<br>%%spoiler%% Melancholy Paradox https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1715598930 2024-05-13T11:15:30+00:00 2024-07-12T14:56:20+00:00 Recently I have been craving solitude.<br>It's strange since so much of my life has been driven by<br>companionship and socialisation.<br>I sort of have everything I've ever wanted, a dream job,<br>a life long companion, financial security<br>and future growth prospects.<br>Yet.<br>I feel the intrusive urge to throw it away.<br>It's as if I WANT to become a hikki.<br>Im well aware how privilidged I am to contemplate this, it disgusts me in a way.<br>So is this just a manifestation of selfdestructive tendencies?<br>Or am i trying to fly to close to the NEET sun?<br>Was Diogenes wise to become a hobo-maxing NEETma grindset enthusiast?<br>Niavely romanticising a dilapidated empty flat with nothing<br>but the echoing keys of a dumpster laptop and stolen WIFI. <br>In more important and relevant matters:<br>How often do you wash your sheets?<br>I want to wash them weekly, but have failed this routinne so far. <br>Till we meet again - blogfagchan Hello world https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1704210819 2024-01-02T15:53:39+00:00 2024-07-12T07:38:59+00:00 welcome to my web sight bbs cert expired https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1720002867 2024-07-03T10:34:27+00:00 2024-07-03T16:46:07+00:00 certificate for pohonbbs is expired 29th of june It's good to send emails to friends. https://bbs.gikopoi.com/thread/1705087964 2024-01-12T19:32:44+00:00 2024-06-30T16:03:13+00:00 As life goes on, and we separate from people we cared about before,<br>it remains a great practice to send emails to old friends every now <br>and then.<br><br>It's not essential AT ALL to make a Facebook / Instagram / Tiktok <br>/ LinkedIn / whatever to stay in touch with old friends. If anything,<br>people are more likely to keep their old mail address as trendy <br>spyware apps come and go. <br><br>Equally, it's easier to keep a friend's mail address for long spans<br>of time than phone numbers -- and the kinds of communications we make<br>over email tend to be more meaningful than the kinds we may make on<br>text-adjacent platforms like Whatsapp or Signal, Telegram, etc. <br><br>Do you ever send mails to your old pals?<br>When was the last time you sent a personal email?<br><br>If you know any old friends' emails, maybe this thread can serve as<br>a timely reminder to fire them off a message.

Email is a<br>great way to maintain friendships over time and distance -- even if<br>it's "not trendy" it's also not bad!
