What’s missing is the X factor.

Things are too constrained to give birth to the unexpected, random or truly heterodox. Anything seems out of place and there is a twitch to get rid of it rather than to see where it goes.

It is founded in arrogance. People think their views are of a higher quality, and so they should be the arbiter therefore of quality, they can then discern what should be allowed based on that. The problem remains, and I must stress this there is zero qualification or metric by which this supposed “quality” is judged and never has been it is entirely down to personal preference

And, frankly, a majority of people are incapable of differentiation between “objective quality” and “my own subjective tastes” and often confuse “my own subjective tastes” with “the highest possible synthesis of revolutionary theory”.

There is very little room for people accepting that they might be wrong and therefore hearing out other opinions to the extent that you allow them to be around.

What has been lost is challenge, what has been lost is debate besides on a few topics. The scope of orthodoxy that you can’t question has expanded.

I am no longer an anarchist, but this began with the Rojava purge, which amounted to basically a purge of the anarchists. I don’t even like anarchists, but the board was healthier with a culture where there was basically no sacred cows and less consensus besides on a few very fundamental things.

>>14202
And no, before someone says “you just want no moderation” wrong. There is a broad consensus (like probably 99.9% of posters) against CP and spam, there is a broad consensus against giving reactionaries the same free reign we would give a leftist, but that doesn’t mean we need to completely silence them, as well as silencing leftists who have one or 2 beliefs some other leftists feel are reactionary, or what have you.

The whole point of this board is discussion, and the discussion aspect has been taken away. Moderation should happen bearing this firmly in mind, and mods should mod with the mindset that it is imperative they use the lightest touch possible, an only intervene in extreme cases, rather than shoe horning in excuses to mod where they feel it is appropriate.

It is a slippery slope, and we have slid very far down already. Time to winch back to the top and attach some strong security ropes so it doesn’t happen again

It sounds like you're fooling yourself, doomer. That's just showing the last 8 weeks. The site had higher stats before the coup drama pushed a large amount of users away from both sites, which takes more than a few weeks to recover from unless some happenings or new culture draws people in. The takeaway from this graph would be that despite months of numerous dedicated leftychan saboteurs and /pol/ spammers, the site is still stable, slowly growing and quickly recovering from shocks.
As for 'small', we're one of the largest alternate English imageboards, even after a dip /leftypol/ alone is still larger than sportschan, soyjakparty, lainchan, 7chan, endchan, 9chan.tw and every 8chan board apart from /qresearch/. Bigger than [s4s] and /fa/, and over 3 times bigger than /news/ on 4chan. And as for 'always', you clearly didn't even check.

>i don't even know why they exist if you want to talk about video games go to a video game forum
no, like, years ago you would just post a /leftyvidya/ thread and we would all see it, no need to use an overboard or flip between boards or whatever

im still thinking about it but the best way to treat this may be to build side-boards but not pressure people to use them, i wouldnt recommend deleting them or anything

i always kind of figure /leftypol/ would remain alive even if a shit ton of activity was deported to siberia aka /b/ but it seems like we kind of leeched the site due to the policy of shipping everyone there who shitposts any

And this is determined by…?
>greentext schizo

<ban something intrinsic to chans and the point of an anonymous glass-polishing forum
>ban /siberia/ and /USApol/
the latter is the /trash/dump of the site, it's a much better alternative to deletion and actually permits people to have a board to be more untethered and so reign in these tendencies from the other boards, it also gives mods the excuse to tell shitposters in other boards to just take it to the designated board
>/itg/
It needs more moderation and less tolerance for liberal idpol but it generates social media discussion that at least keeps users in the know of social trends, but not requiring extensive twitter usage by anons here.

> /USApol/

I meant the FORMER is a trashdump. The latter, being USApol is a containment thread for USA focused leftist discussion.

 No.14105

>>14099
Idpol & crypto-idpol shitposters will always exist and there is not much mods can contain all of them. It's better to keep them in the designated /itg/ and /USApol/ containment zones than allow them to spread to the rest of site. Those threads exist as generals for a reason. Off-topic shitposting threads are often redirected to /siberia/ as it is the equivalent of /b/.

Hello everyone. This is the thread to make this week's proposals. We have these proposals which failed previously, that perhaps we should discuss again this week (I won't put these on the docket, unless someone actually brings them up with amendments so they might pass this time):

Proposal: Reorganization of modocracy to groups based on siloed focus (ex: tech/mods/outreach)

Proposal: Elect an executive. Instead of voting on every issue, simply elect an executive, either a single individual or small group (individual is better), who is recallable by vote. The executive makes all decisions except electing themselves and kicking or adding any member from/to the modocracy. This will free up the modocracy to get back to the core tasks of tech, modding, outreach/growth, and other activities associated with maintaining and growing leftypol.

Proposal: - same as above except by sortition.

Once again, I must clarify that ONLY MODS CAN ACTUALLY VOTE ON PROPOSALS OR VOTES. Anons are free to have their say and offer suggestions and feedback to improve proposals/votes but these are only advisory and user votes are not counted for official decisionmaking. But who knows, a persuasive enough argument might sway the mod team to your cause?

Please reply to this post to post proposals for consideration next week. If a user proposal seems like a good idea, we may adopt it and make it official. Thanks everyone. Feel free to post your opinions but try not to spam or needlessly bicker back and forth in order to keep the thread clear and legible. Any off-topic posts may be removed without warning.

I am heavy in favor of movie nights and would like to propose the utilization of the Syncplay software. This would however necessitate either distributing links to the files themselves via either BitTorrent or OCHs like catbox.moe. The latter would also allow users to stream the movie directly as that is a build in function of Syncplay.
I would also like to propose to kick the movie nights off with one of the translated Ogawa Pro documentaries.

From the meta thread:

How hard would it be to put a cool-down timer on posts? I'm probably the only mfer who would benefit from it but anyone who dumps anything on this site would appreciate it.

Sorry about the major delay, I have been caught up with work. Regardless of the long wait, no proposals passed in this topic.
