It pays in a new currency called love and hugs. Plus complimentary staff pizza parties when they get too uppity about wages.

I think, in a sense, the discord is a fair bit more cruel and cliquey at times. A lot of users often get ignored or harassed in there. Anything against the unwritten rule of consensus there is immediately shut down, shunned, or marks you as someone to be avoided. It seems like its starting to wear thin on me personally. I find more traction here than I do on there, possibly because there is no identity tied to myself on the IB rather than the discord. It pretty much forces people to set aside their bias based on prior interactions and engage with the topic as is.

I do think a huge problem with the site is a refusal to adapt and evolve community-wise as well as adverse reactions to discussions that aren't simple "how was your day" or "what do you like?". This boils back down to the consensus problem where everyone accepts how discourse should be handled and naturally things stagnate to very simple discussion or image dumps. The random thoughts thread can be nice when discussions actually happen.

That cruel and cliquey Discord attitude is becoming more and more pronounced on the board. Topics are simply shut down if they disturb the consensus, and not in the counterproductive way of abrasive incitement, but thoughtful or interesting contributions. Any remotely interesting discussion is shut down and posts are removed for using the wrong words, and I don't mean blatantly offensive ones. e.g. there was a post in the movie thread criticizing a film and recommending an alternative. This post was removed. Why? Mods and much of the users bend the rules to their will, stifling anything that doesn't narrowly align with their values.

Ultimately, sushichan suffers from a kind of nihilism. Interesting talk is shut down, inane pointless image dumping and water cooler talk is stifling and conformity inducing. Anyone who upsets this balance will be accused of nazism or banned or have their posts unfairly deleted. I honestly wish some of the threads here were hosted on other sites where there's more room to discuss stuff. If its just a sideshow to the discord, why bother paying the server bill?

To be honest, I just don't feel comfortable posting here anymore.

Topics on this board don't get deleted for just "having discussions", they get deleted when they spread hateful rhetoric or politically charged statements. The posts on the film thread were deleted because they devolved into anti-gay ranting and calling other users Communists. The other posts that were recently deleted were also outright anti-gay and hateful, repeating the lies that being gay is a fetish or a social contagion. We have a 0 tolerance policy for hate speech on sushi, so they were removed. Quit acting like you're getting persecuted for being too smart, it's obnoxious. Follow the rules or your posts get removed. If you don't feel comfortable posting anymore, then just go.

>>1571
I'm not sure which posts you're referring to but the movie thread is a good example of everything wrong with sushi now. I'm talking about a case where a poster critiqued one film and recommended another and their post was suddenly removed. There was nothing hateful in that post. And while I can't see deleted posts, I don't see any anti-gay ranting or accusations of communism in the thread at all. There's some discussion of gay cinema, criticisms of it, and just movie discussion. And while sure being rude to a mod is pretty dumb, why was a user who was contributing to a pretty civil discussion banned while this >>>/lounge/1680 blatant shitpost was given a pass? At the same time I've seen pretty blatant hate speech on the boards and in the server that gets a pass.

Cliquey discord mentality is beginning to really ruin this site. What's the point of a discussion board if you're only going to allow a narrow checklist of approved topics and perspectives? What's the point asking for user feedback if you're going to dismiss it? Site admin only have themselves to blame.

I'm done with this place.

>>1571
There was another case of that in another thread, after i joked/leaned into a post with this one >>>/lounge/23846
The posts are deleted now, but you can get the idea of what it was like with one of the posts replying to one of the deleted posts. It was old brainrot rhetorics about "genuine gays" and gay being too mainstream. Just really weird terminally online shit.

I found this thread because I too host a vichan based imageboard that has the same problem.
This is my solution to the problem.

Change your instance-config.php to this.
It may be a bit much but it blocks a bunch of sus TLDs, all link shorteners that I could find, strange prefix letters like "t.badurl.ru", blocks spaced out characters "B a d u r l . ru" and a bit more.
Warning I coded this using AI, im not so good at coding.

another argument in favor of .cafe
it goes with the theme of the site, too.

>>1448
I like .net and .cafe, so .netcafe ofc.
>not an option
Then I vote for .cafe

I generally like .net, but .cafe reminds me of something Itamae once said, so my vote goes to .cafe.

>>1514
Ive yet to see any Japanese sites use .moe or even any commercial sites at all so I am not sure what makes you think this.

thanks for the suggestion

100% agree its time to pull the plug

How about just locking all the boards. Everyone is on discord anyways nowadays.

>>1523
I think op is right! we should give up the bandwidth and instead of having a quirky website that doesn't immediately overload all your dopamine receptors, we should let CDNs have it so I can watch netflix with ads .000000000001% faster!

The post form could get a bit less crammed with text. Maybe hide the supported formats behind a button. Also there is sushi on the plate, but also sushi underneath. I don't like eating from the floor.

>>1497
also stop lying about supported formats lmao

It'd be nice if there was a notice or something that a thread has reached bump limit. Sucks when you've on accident written out an indepth post to a sinking thread nobody will see.

>small things
my dick when a certain board is locked

Can we have a spoiler system, that allows to spoil only selected images in a multi file upload, instead of the all or nothing checkbox?
