Getting off Jow Forums(nel)

How the fuck do I get off this goddamn website? I'm 23 and have been frequenting Jow Forums since I was 18. I've realised that this place and the people and attitudes therein are fucking cancerous and toxic. Incel shit and racist Jow Forums attitudes have seeped into my brain, and I know that getting away from it all will help significantly, but I don't know how to leave for good.
For the record, I only visit blue boards, but such is the cancer that it's everywhere on this site, and the only way to escape it is to get gone for good. No more memes, no more shitposting, no more retarded incel ideals jostling around in my head. I'm done, but I can't stay away

True. Reddit is unironically better. But a few blackpills "people" drop on this site is real, and improved me. I should be leaving though.

There are some good people here with good ideas, but I don't think it's worth sticking around through all the bullshit, baiting, shitposting, and le ebin maymays

Bump
I'll probably end up blocking Jow Forums on my phone. That's where most of my compulsive browsing happens

I'm 27 and have been here since I was 14. You're never going to leave.

Simply find better things to do. Also throwing your smartphone will help. Just dont fool yourself with
>no chan = instant better life
You will most likely just end up wasting your time with something else.

You could read books, go for a hike, learn an instrument, learn to draw, study for school, etc etc etc. So many productive things one can do besides lurking Jow Forums

Yeah, they are all super "productive" activities. Enjoy them all user. Go to gym.

Start watching CNN constantly and you will be brainwashed in no time at all

Jaded much? All those things I listed better your cognitive abilities.

Btw, Jow Forums racism is the culmination of the Jewish Soviet stigma attached to the word. Real racism is love for your own pure blood and tradition, and the hard work that goes into preserving it and bettering yourself.

Get some friends and a job. You'll be plenty busy if your friends aren't boring.

>doing things you want to do
>doing things because somebody labeled them as productive
It isnt rocket science to spot the difference.

>I enjoy going on Jow Forums, fuck all those things that guy labeled as productive
Stay mediocre

>implying you shouldn't want to do productive things?

>Reddit is unironically better.

The people I meet there are just as annoying as some of the people here. Don't give up on Jow Forums because it plays a Important role on the internet. there are better boards than Jow Forums so you don't have to give up on the whole website.

He's right, Jow Forums is sad/degenerate. What do you like? I really like firearms as a hobby, so I frequent Jow Forums or /tg/, because I also really enjoy tabletop gaming.

This actually would work with some people but I don't suggest you do it.

People who want to do productive things are already doing them, not writing about it here :3

This

>Implying someone can't take 5 seconds out of their productive day to write about it

I don't need to hear that

I try, but browsing gets in the way. I've been seriously tempted to remove smartphone or at least social media, but haven't gotten the nerve to pull the trigger yet

If you consume any media at all you' re subject to "brainwashing", i.e. inherent bias. Your media is no less biased than any other. It just so happens that its bias aligns with your own beliefs, in whichever direction that happened. Don't be an idiot.

>No true Scotsman
This is the kind of shit I'm talking about. You say this but I bet you'd turn around and decry peeps for saying that "REAL communism hasn't been tried yet".

I have a part-time job, working on friends since my usual crowd don't get together much anymore. I'm also currently figuring out a diet/exervise regimen so I can have more energy for doing things. Yet I'm still here, shitposting, almost on the daily

Fair point, but exceptions can be made when the things someone tells you to do are objectively good for you

You literally don't know anything about what you're talking about, which is why you should get off Jow Forums and go experience life.

Same. I think my problem is that I have nothing else to do, or rather, I use this place to procrastinate on what I need/should be doing (living). Part of it is that literally anything else requires money. Part is like, right now I say, "I'm waiting on an email," so like, that means I can't go do something the fuck else?

I don't watch tv/movies, no youtube/gaming/other shit, no social media. Jow Forums is my only online activity of any impact. I have hobbies, I just procrastinate on them. I know it's shitty and going on Jow Forums all day makes me feel like shit, unaccomplished, unfulfilled. "an entire day and nothing at all done but wait for it to end." I tried leechblock and i just used my other browser instead.

once my financial situation is better it might help. right now even spending $5 is a lot. luckily I have put in the work for it and it'll go one way or the other within a week. I hope to leave this place. if I start living with someone else it might help too because i'm too ashamed to browse here in front of anyone else.

tl;dr my life is shit and this helps me avoid the depressive reality.

but also i think, no one is "up" 24/7. we're not machines, we need rest and downtime right? Jow Forums is a social interaction replacement. for every minute normalshits are gossiping with friends, we do that here. but it takes everything over. starts as checkign threads between activities, then cutting activities to keep browsing. then you spend 14 hours a day here and go to sleep havign done nothing but get a day older.

What do you mean? What do I know nothing about and what should I know about it?

This is similar to where I was a year ago. I've gotten a bit better since then, but I haven't "made it" yet

Stop waiting on the world to change and get to changing it

Idk man I am trying right now to cut my internet usage what helps me is just reading book that I like to chill and calm down this site really fucked up my world view

Good question! Disable Jow Forums.org and 4channel.org in your hosts file. It's in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
You can read up on how the hosts file work by doing a quick search online. Or disable access directly on your router. Also, disable any Jow Forums apps on your phone. Access from mobile network is probably entirely up to your willpower, I don't know if smartphones have something similar to a hosts file.

But maybe, you just want to browse the other countless boards instead? Niche boards have less members and have less Jow Forums or incel crossposters. Makes the them really wholesome.

I try to read but there's often noise and distractions around which make it difficult. Browsing the web is mindless enough that I can't really get distracted from it

I meant more in terms of willpower stuff, but that might help

The answer you need to hear is that you are mentally weak and underdeveloped. Anons can use this board and still go on to have healthy relationships with people they know and their communities. If you find yourself so concerned about being so defenceless against not being able to be a decent human being after using this place then go to reddit. Tireless moderation teams there will sanitize your browsing, removing any faintly questionable or questioning material, and only deliver you correct mainstream opinions and discussion.

Go on. Have some free chains on your way out.

Make friends IRL and just hang out with them.

This started out as a good post but you got real edgy toward the end. I'm not replacing Jow Forums with Reddit. I'm just going to get off Jow Forums and experience real social interaction with real human beings, which I don't do much currently because I'm used to socialising online.
i.e., That strengthening and development shit

The fact you think it's edgy means you're weak. It's word for word what the reddit team does, unless you have hitherto unknown and accurate information regarding what they actually do. And they are chains, because you will be expected to self moderate and conform much more than you do here.

If you're trying to blame a lack of social development on Jow Forums then you're blaming the wrong thing, when it should be you, and even then you shouldn't be blaming anything and just going out and finding things to do, accepting that it might feel useless or hard for a while before things get better. Sports clubs, hobby clubs, music venues etc. Again, weak. You probably knew the answer, if you wanted encouragement or support along your way you were better served not getting it here and going to a professional, a therapist or similar.

Now go.

I'm seeing a therapist because I know I'm lacking in a lot of areas. You're not telling me anything new. Being on Jow Forums/the internet all the time is a symptom of my lacking development, and I'd never say it's the root cause, just that it's not very healthy for me to be on here all the time because a) it's not healthy to spend all your free tipe on the internet anyway, and b) there are a lot of reall shit attitudes floating around this site in particular. We're known for being edgy, angry, bitter fucks.

As an aside, Jow Forums culture is literally intertwined with assimilation. The whole "Anonymous is legion" thing, the hatred of newfags and reverence of oldfags, the cries of "lurk more". Refer back to what I said in this comment; your media is no better in terms of brainwashing. You just like it more because you agree with it and it suits your personality/background

If it agreed with me more I wouldn't have to deal with people like you, moderators would have removed your posts or banned you because your opinions didn't fit. You and other anons with differing opinions are allowed to stay and dissent to your hearts content. If you feel like you're part of a minority, you either need to dissent better or review your own beliefs. But at least you can do the former as much as you want.

And if you still have to go here to offload and get support, maybe your therapist is shit.
