It sounds sad, but isn't it more like no other site gives us this unbothered experience? You can make a fool out of yourself here, but at the end of the day it doesn't matter because you are Anon and nobody can shun you for it.
>a BBS while great is not a replacement for 4chan
My only criticism is they are too low tech. The art is very pleasing and nice to look at, but it's lacking otherwise
>boards don't provide enough dopamine, addiction is a bitch
Don't know, I suffer from ADHD and dopamine is always busted when not on Ritalin. Dopamine is not addictive btw.

Maybe I should not get into epigenetics here but I might as well.
Stress can fuck up acetyl groups and methyl groups on a DNA and histone level. That means your body can over or under produce receptors for serotonin, which causes depression. That mechanism is largely stress and inflammation triggered. Inflammation is caused by poor sleep and bad diets too.

Modern society itself is killing us mentally. Did you know that FOMO (fear of missing out) and anxiety is not dopamine driven, but serotonin driven? Droomscrolls and algorithmic feedback loops are supposed to screw your serotonin.
