Why does this board have so many falseflagging grifters compared to the 4chan equivalent? Every like third thread in the catalog looks like bait of some kind.
because this is a half dead board. by replying to you i have increased the PPH of this board by 1/3.
the board was added despite a general /meta/ consensus that it wasn't particularly necessary and despite there seemingly being no real plan to make it particularly active by (say) trying to poach a userbase from 4chan.
so far as i can tell, the board hasn't actually hit the maximum number of threads yet. (e.g. no threads have been pruned by the board software to make room for new threads, threads from 9 months ago remain up.)
as a result, every bait thread that doesn't violate the rules remains up. meanwhile on 4chan's /lgbt/, you can expect 15 new threads about the UK's latest transphobic measure to push mild bait off the board in no time at all.
leftypol /lgbt/ is actually faster than my expectations, outperforming most of the other dead boards. unfortunately, this will probably motivate the creation of yet more dead boards with no plans on how to make them not be dead because, if you're unwise, you can read it as a case of "build it and they will come"
>>5888have you been on 4chan's /lgbt/ recently? it's ALL bait.
cause the 4chan board is actually active and they have better strategies for dealing with /pol/lacks since it's just one click away for them to grief.
This board is almost dead and thankfully leftypol isn't as homophobic as leftychan but it's still not a very sympathic space
