Hello,
Some changes in website management are happening. As the people who use the website, you've got a right to know. If you've been active on the IRC server you know what this is about.
Essentially for the better part of the year the mod team has been stuck in a series of personal and site management conflicts. The way our "modocracy" works incentivizes as much consent as possible but also has no leader with the final say on things. This tends to create conflicts with a mod team whose members frequently take unilateral action with the idea that after they take it they can get majority approval for it. The current problem is largely due to such unilateral action made by a member of the mod team and the resulting resurfacing of personal and site management differences.
For now the site admin and I have settled on a way to fix this mess through giving me basically the final word on everything. There's not going to be different mods starting votes to expel other mods anymore because I'm the only one who can expel anyone now. There's not going to be incessant arguing over things that are basically irrelevant t most of you and mods leaving (and consequently lowering site quality due to reduced moderation) because I get to just end discussions if they're going nowhere.
The odd mix of democratic centralism and a sort of anarchist council that we had going is going to come back in the future, maybe in an altered form, but for now the watermelon military junta is in charge. Expect to see not too many changes from the normal other than maybe a more strict implementation of the rules and more bans relating to liberal intersectionality garbage because that's what I think the mod team should be focusing on rather than personal nonsense.tankieTankie

>>22187nou
he was man who madess videos
u just know because of the inflreds >>22232this, if none you fucker care about avatarfag and not want to defend avatarfag then banned them if it goes board-wide and not just a small thread or let others discouraged it if it's not doxxing
that shit should've stayed in /get/
>>21410you say things like reactionary-friendly, but really what you mean is anti-establishment
what happened to left-wing meaning against totalitarianism? "COVID denial" or "anti-vax' is an effort that pushes back against the attempt to control a populace by fear. Is that in your view 'reactionary?'
If you want to be a liberal government kool-aid drinker there is every other site on the internet to do it. I'm not sure what the point of leftypol is if we can't even voice opposition to a government (or really, ruling class) that wants to squash us all with fear and, potentially, biological warfare.
From my point of view, the liberals are evil.
>>22237>>22238so, a strawman and the name of a bogeyman
not very bright are you libtards?
>>22240why even make a new site if you want to enforce twitter-level narratives here?
just makes no sense
how do you even differ from establishment thought
>>22243thats a fair point
at least it says something, unlike the other subnormals ITT
>>22092For reference I never opposed letting users have a part in the moderation process, or transparency, or anything like that, I only think that allowing Matrix users to straight up vote on mod matters as if they were mods is a bad idea. We should act on behalf of all users not just the most active and vocal ones. Hence the surveys we've been doing.
>>22099We did try to remove a mod who we couldn't work with though. That's why this power grab was attempted, because the minority couldn't bear to see one of their own be removed for his wrecking behaviour.
>>22111I don't love Stalin but I always advocated for all reasonable leftists (ie not nazbols) to be allowed to post here equally.
>>22122Cheers man.
>>22206The 'new junta' are united partly by their admiration for Haz and opposition to controls on topics about him, which was another nail in the coffin of our democracy, when the majority voted to ban Haz discussion because it was toxic to the board, this (I believe) caused the junta-ists to draw inwards to each other further.
>>22233Maybe I could have done more. I don't know.
>>22235As others have pointed out I'm a Demsoc, not that it matters.
>>22236Leftism means protecting the working people, not allowing them to be massacred in order to keep the economy going - as porky originally wanted to do at the start of the pandemic before overwhelming backlash forced them into moderate control measures. Ironically Chinese people who had a much harsher lockdown have been far more free for the past two years, with little to no pandemic controls outside the affected areas.
>>22142When would have been a good time for leaving?
This was just another inevitability in the history of the board. Coma just sled up the process. The contradictions between the mods who want to make this reddit and the mods who want to keep this true to the nature of image boards couldn't go on for ever
>>22250The reason people opposed your idea to ban Haz from the very beginning(this was when he was still making videos on leftypol) was because your reasoning was stupid.
Caballo wanted to ban Haz for Idpol. On account of the use of the word Anglo as a "idpol slur".
>>22246>because it was toxic to the boardWhich is why i think a ban for the shit 4chan meme or removing the penny face was understand even if i kinda disagree with it, it's the same bullshit.
Still glad he's gone, he was /get/ creep who posted penny porn which i don't trust at all and he spam his shit board wide
just banning an over amount of avatarfaging was the best option
>>22251it's best if you don't know
just another breadtuber that a namefag named sage is in love with
>>434283Exactly. I know I've been accused of being pro avatarfag but I would remove anyone's face pic if they asked me to. It's shitty 'content' for one thing. Make fun of their posts instead.
>>22253I did not immediately jump to banning Haz immediately, it took some time for me to come around to that, but I think it was obvious fairly quickly that he was an insecure, unstable, schizo that was going to harm the left more than ever help it. Now if he was just another content creator, fine, but he was clearly developing a colony that was harming the board. He practically exudes 'cult of personality' energy. And yes, I do think he's an idpoller, a bad one. But since we bring him up, I also removed Haz's dox on many occasions.
>>22253>Caballo wanted to ban Haz for Idpol. based
>On account of the use of the word Anglo as a "idpol slur".not based, although it's now becoming that thanks to haz far as i know
i miss anti anglo meme
>>22258porn of a cartoon child in a children show
There is aged up gumball porn out there but most gumball fans and porn are /ss/ and lolishit
I don't trust them like how i don't trust loud house fans in /co/
>>22261no I mean are you afraid it was made with trafficked peanut mooses or what
this is basically the one instance in which you can be totally sure what you are getting
>>22262>this is basically the one instance in which you can be totally sure what you are gettingYeah,
no trust and i don't want him anywhere near here. not
