Conversation quality is objectively superior to the vast majority of Western spaces. This holds true for other runet websites such as nnmt and even vk when they are compared to their Western equivelants.
People here speak to each other a lot more freely over a much wider variety of subjects. Here you can still tell jokes and have fun.
Some questions to get the thread started.
How have things degraded show much in Western sites?
Can you identify any particular causes that led to this?
What are the irl effects this has?
How do you the future of Western internet?

I don't sit anywhere but 4chan. 4chan is a very backward site with late 90's level design and features (and you know it yourself). I used to have a Facebook account. It was considered a “delicacy” (I don't know what word to choose in English) in Russia in its time - to have an account in VK and an account in Facebook, only pseudo-intellectuals and “non-standard personalities” had an account in Facebook, most Russians didn't care about it, it scared away at least the impossibility to listen to your favorite music, as it was done in VK.
Nevertheless, both then and now Facebook is really inferior to VK in terms of functionality and infrastructure. VK is not so popular in the West due to weak advertising campaigns and users' attachment to their Facebook pages.
However, both 4chan and Facebook have a greater impact on world culture because they were the first.
To be honest, internet development is one of the few industries in Russia that I can be proud of, unlike everything else (which I am very dissatisfied with). The Western internet looks backward compared to the Russian internet, both in terms of functionality and the content of some social sites.
As for Dvatch, the most vile and useless section is /b/, however, even there there are philosophical threads from the deep industrial zone filled with gray longing of commieblocks and despair of their own insignificance in the universe - such people go into themselves and reflecting discover unique things, which they share in their tracks, using 15k available characters to the maximum.
My favorite section is /sn/, but not because I'm the shizo who believes in paranormal phenomena and conspiracy theories, but because this board has a lot of horror threads written by talented people, this board is also where SAMOSBOR (2018 y.) was invented - an open universe that went beyond Dvatch and on which several games were made and many books written, has developed communities in VK and Telegram. Something similar came out only a year later on 4chan. And it was called Backrooms. However, SAMOSBOR did not become so popular because of the prevalence of Russian language in the world, although, in my opinion, it has a higher quality.

Thank you for your input anon.
I too have been visiting 4chan since 2009. It was a very nice place up until 2016. From 2016 on wards it was just bearable, and after 2021 it became completely unusable. I am currently only visiting specific threads like /chug/.
Never really used my facebook but ever since I created a vk I noticed that I actually like logging in once in while and getting current news about certain music genres that I like.
As for Dvach, threads are very informative and very funny. Reminds me of 4chan pre-2016. Posters are trying to help, they are pragmatic and can debate opposing points of view. The vast majority of time that someone will become a nuisance he'll come out as a Russian expat living somewhere in Europe and start cursing everyone just like a Western liberal would.
If the Western side of the Internet is indeed degrading due to Western populations and their governements degenerating then that would mean that there is hope for alternate online spaces to substitute them.
I've also noticed how frequent it is to find Chinese and Russian codebases on github, especially regarding censorship bypass and hosting your own sites. I wonder what's gonna happen when inevitably a corona level happening occurs once again and there is no place in Western Internet that is able to inform people truthfully. Most people will just wake up one day with zero access to outside sources of information and they will neither have the experience to bypass government firewalls.
