The anti-sectarian rule on this board is problematic. There are too many libs calling themselves "socialists" and yet they reject Marxism-Leninism outright in favour of liberal theory. You can see this most in the multipolarity threads. There needs to be a board, or even leftypol needs to undo the anti-sectarianism rule, in order for us to get to the root of how these anti-Marxist libshits think. Otherwise they have free reign to smear every anti-imperialist force as fascist and imperialist based on "muh capitalism" which spits in the face of the continuation of Marxist-Leninist theory which cemented imperialism as a definite phenomenon in the contemporary age.

Multipolarity is inevitable. Multipolarity under capitalism is war and a rewind in the falling rate of profit. Only socialism can survive a multipolar world. You can't promote the inevitable. Become a socialist

>I've seen blatant Nazi posts stay up for hours
Which means they were taken down, so this is just complaining about moderation being slow.

>>28794
Only after people report the shit out of them and post in /meta/ about it, and the libshit stuff stays up regardless, which is blatant favoritism, given the official "idpol neutral" stance of leftypol demanding that if bad faith nazi bait ought to be removed, so should liberal bait.

ITT: butthurt "MLs" can't handle different opinions proceed to shit up the board and cry(many such cases)

So, what's the official stance on the two competing PRC threads on /leftypol/? Is one going to be locked or are they both going to continue to co-exist?

>>28828
We have a Two Chinas policy

baizuo jannies add the taiwan province to the /PRC/ map already 😤😤😤😤

Can the mods please implement a minimum word requirement on all boards (including /siberia/)
It will greatly improve the quality of discussions

mods please do this

mods please don't do this. ;)

>>28679
my time is worth more than yours, be concise or be ignored. if your opinions were more important than the few minutes lost reading a wall of text, you would be a published author

>>28723
>anon wants to eliminate single-word responses
>"this must mean he wants every post to be a wall of text!!!!"

Adding on to this, the posting system shouldn't be so anglo-centric. I have to throw in English words into a post in a language that isn't English just so that it doesn't get caught by the "flood" filter. So if I want to post a reply or a quote in Russian or Japanese, I have to throw in English language characters.

I understand that mods like encouraging theoretical debates, and I understand that the war is slow and that "happenings" don't happening often, but over the past few threads Zigger vs both siders bickering seem to be reaching about 85 to 90% of the /ukraine/ thread content.
See following threads for examples:
>>>/leftypol/1503308
>>>/leftypol/1502252
It seems pretty ridiculous considering most of this "content" is just rephrasing of the same few talking points that have been talked to death over the course of a year. Maybe early on exposure to these talking points may sway people to ziggerism or both-sidism, but after a year no one is going to be changing sides anymore and this debate is largely redundant imo.

Obviously I don't want to ban debate about multi-polarity vs socialism, but having to shift through 80 paragraphs just to find information about developing events about the war is annoying to say the least. I propose a separate thread to this debate so that the /Ukraine/ thread can be more orientated to the actual war and a seperate containment thread for those who want to waste there time writing 30000 word essays that will not change anyone's opinion

<but anon that will make the actual /ukraine/ thread really slow

imo thats desirable, less shifting through essays so you can find what you want

containment is actually not effective whatsoever. any time there is a question of containment the question inevitably shifts towards "removal". the ukraine thread is not at that state (yet) but we do try to trim away the excesses of retarded sectarianism. thankfully its mostly just a few anons of either side appointing themselves as the golden arbiters of everything which is righteous and good in the world (mostly on the ukraine side), and a handful of trolls / insane people who just go on those threads to post insanity (more equal distribution).

Thanks for the laugh!

To to mod who runs the Twitter (misato I believe). Here’s a chance for promotion lol. Qrt or reply should suffice. I would probably put something dumb like “We remember 😉”. Also a May Day tweet should be made today maybe

Misato… what have you done!?

misato here
im really sorry i missed this, i was probably awol when this thread/tweet dropped
ill make it up somehow :(

>>28724
appreciate the kind comments, it is kinda overwhelming and draining sometimes (hence why i burn out and go absent sometimes)

>>28727
does more than one person have access to the twitter account? would make it easier for it to be responsive if it's not entirely shouldered by one person.

Can I ask, what's the rationale for having different boards, when most are barely used? /akm/ and /tech/ for example?

As for /siberia/, what's the point?
2 posts omitted.

>>28709
I know, I was pointing out OP’s false logic

>>28708
>only keep the main board and meta

That's exactly what should happen.

/siberia/ attracts people who think communism is a joke and meme

>>28711
Tbf so does the main board to an extent. I still think the problem with siberia is the sex and relationship general, it attracts too many incels and pedos

idc either way but ya Ive definitely wondered why like every board into merged into either leftypol or siberia and maybe hobby. edu is basically just an excuse to turn leftypol into siberia and now siberia feels pointless no? again tho im a relative new fag so take my analysis with a grain of salt.

/siberia/ is the renamed /b/ board, made for exactly that purpose, random, and less moderated posting

/AKM/ is the /k/ board for guns and weapons and shieet.

/tech/ is the board for IT work and development of the site by users as well as addressing tech issues or giving advice regarding computer problems.

The side boards are slow but they're still filled with meaningful entries and their slowness it to their advantage.

what is it about leftypol that makes it the best imageboard BY FAR????? is it the genitally gifted mods??????? is it the lovely schizo-autistic posters?????????
4 posts omitted.

This is an imageboard?

File: 1692659800992.jpg (138.81 KB, 1280x720, literallyme!!!.jpg)

tbh for its problems leftypol is p cool site and fw ya'll heavy. the lack of insane right wing schizos (with some notable exceptions) is refreshing and the discussion by the standards of imageboard is high quality. It would be nice if it was a less slow board but by the standards of more obscure imageboards we're fairly active and sometimes the small poster base gives the site a cozy old school feel

>>28628
I will play Marx to your Hegel:
this is site is fucking terrible, and it is still, by far, the best imageboard.


>>28626
The lack of any actual posters

it should be renamed to /incel/ or /relationshipwhining/

They probably will since they're incels

>>28684
They do seem to do a fair job at culling spillover, and claim to have a 0 zero tolerance for it in-thread too, but design wise someone new here is going to recognize it as a containment thread and either leave upon recognising that red flag or contribute to the problem. It's a UI problem, people's pattern recogniton will take precedent even if you are vigilant about enforcing a 0 tolerance on it.

>>28687
Speaking for myself, I don't particularly check /siberia/ as much at least as of lately and, in my my experience, trying to clean up/moderate the /relationship/ threads always end up in me trying the hold the thread's hand every time so it doesnt "spillover," as you said. It can be overwhelming to deal with it.

I appreciate the constructive criticism, though. It does feel weird that the relationship general threads tends to be referred in jest as containment threads for incels. There is a place for productive and constructive discussion for these kinda topics without falling into reactionary and chauvinistic traps and derails. I'll try to keep an eye/focus on the board and the relationship generals more, I apologize

On that note, PLEASE report any instances of blatant misogyny and incel reactionary bullshit. If one report doesnt work, send another one!

I still think my idea of moving /siberia/ to the most remote part of the top bar would be a real funny move

Rename it to /relationshipwinning/.

Leftypedia lived - Leftypedia lives - Leftypedia will live!

Greetings, comrades. Leftypedia, the radical encyclopedia, should be back in a usable state. We have more moderators, which will help with spam from now on, and images are slowly being repopulated for your viewing pleasure. The new domain has been up and running for a while at https://wiki.leftypol.org, and we've imported the vast majority of content that was on the old site while adding a lot of new stuff. I hope that Anons can come back and fill in any content that was lost.

For those unaware, Leftypedia is an original /leftypol/ project dedicated to combating the disinformation of mainstream media and academic sources, as well as discussing leftist history, theory, and practice from a multi-sectarian viewpoint. We welcome additions from different leftist perspectives provided that they are properly sourced and well argued. In addition, we maintain a separate space, tentatively titled "Essays", for more subjective or polemic work.

The original thread is here: >>>/edu/3780
You can find Leftypedia at: https://wiki.leftypol.org

kino wiki

Am I the only one here that knows Wikipedia has different language subdomains that have different articles? Sometimes it is just a translation of the English page and occasionally vice versa but other times far more detailed and nuanced positions are revealed for the same topics. Just take those and translate them and see if you can find matching information in English sources. Ideally human translation but you somewhat can pull off machine translation if you're careful to cross compare with multiple translators. Then once something is decide as of high quality for sources being as bias free or at least accurate and held in high regard as possible try to take over English Wikipedia with these revised articles if it's an actual improvement instead of limiting it to an obscure Wiki no one is going to find. Just make sure to use an account, you expose your IP without one.

>>40088
You're not the only one.
And if you look through enough pages, you could even spot wikipedia vandalism. I remember seeing this one page about a small town being completely wrecked by someone advertising a party (not a political, an actual party with dancing and shit) with a location.

>>40089
Yeah talk about stalin

just FYI, now that the link on the topbar is working and this thread has been around enough for most people to see it, we'll be moving it to /meta/ after a while.
