It's obvious that /pol/ and the sharty as a whole have been continually declining in the quality of its content and its users, and the fact that this board simultaneously has such a low number of notable users and a high turnover rate seems to coincide with this.

I've thought about using a forum like the shroom, the boorum or even kiwifarms instead, given that imageboards are a dying medium, but I'm not sure if could actually commit to using one. I like the idea of being recognised, but I'm also too averse to actually using a name or identifier to ever really become a part of any online community in a meaningful sense. I think I care too much about how people perceive me and talk about me to ever try to stand out and speak my mind, even if that "standing out" just means having an account with an earnest post history on a website frequented by less than 200 people. How do I realistically overcome this feeling, or should I just not bother and continue my no-stakes no-rewards Colorjakking?
