>it feels like a lot of boards fell in quality after 8chan fell.
the "quality" is proportionally more or less the same as ever, the root problem from the various communities drifting further and further apart, due to the demoralization and how the state of affairs helps the propagation of it.
the smaller the community the smaller it is to divide and conquer. when an imageboard entity is big enough, it becomes nearly impervious to subversion attempts because governments simply do not understand how the system works and throwing more money and manpower cannot stop or contain the free discourse and the waves of diarrhea that go along with it. the only way to try and slow it down is to buy the platform out or nuke it entirely, see 4chan for the former and 8chan for the latter example.
8chan used to be one such giant unhinged place but since the fracturing, every community that sprouted off its remains has been ruined and tarnished time and time again by a handful of dedicated people until either the admin gave up or most/everyone got demoralized and left for a perceived greener pasture only for the cycle to start over. what's worse is that demoralization works like an infection and anons themselves get so blackpilled they start contributing consciously or not to the destruction of their very own communities. the webring was never going to work because of being divided as a feature, like that you're just asking to get demoralized. think about it, decentralization is one thing, division is another. all 8chan spinoffs boards and sites have been bleeding users ever since they were created, as few are interested or stubborn enough to browse 20 barely active sites instead of a single moderately active one. it's actually really simple: united we stand, divided we fall.

>inb4 muh decentralization
a single site can have a decentralized administration, decentralized software and decentralized hardware with multiple backup points, you don't need to make everything a private circlejerk with 20 users including the mods ad admins to be decentralized. everyone seems to fail to understand that, and the ones that don't either aren't willing to do anything about it or are unable to. 8chan is dead, gone to hell, and it's not coming back. the ones that are left, us, are living in the limbo soiling our pants and throwing shit at each other until someone actually does something.
a new decentralized not8chan that unites every bunker of the limbo is needed.
>inb4 blacked
blacked is literally and unironically the perfect successor of 8chan, in that it encapsulates and embodies everything wrong there was with it except with a new coat of paint and less users
