Would need a lot of moderation and would absolutely be an uphill battle but that's the point. No where else has a space to discuss feminism from an actual left, marxist angle. Yes the board would probably be overrun by chuds/chauvists/incels/terfs at first, but just making the space should attract people who fit the culture we want to build for this site better. Liberals so thoroughly control this space that even people here don't think of feminism as someone compatible with Marxism, despite the absolute wealth of works it has produced on the matter.

How did we get here? How do we improve it?
For one i propose we bring back character limits in OPs and demand the jannies actually do their job in cleaning up the main board, pushing things to /siberia/, generals, deleting them and actively banning people who make such threads, as let's be real, it's probably the same two or three people who hang out in the Matrix with the jannies and think due to their bubble it's actually good content.

2. Enforce rule 11. For the love of god, enforce rule 11. I'd be willing to wager over half the posts on this god forsaken site are in violation of that rule, but for whatever reason they're allowed to stay up. If you allow people to make sling shit and argue in bad faith, they're inevitably going to; it's simply the path of least resistance.
When I ask a question, even if it's a bad question, I want to see people try their best to answer it. When I make an argument, even if it's a bad argument, I want to see people try their best to refute it. Right now, the response I get to both is "you're retarded" + an insipid reddit-tier reaction image.
Giving this its own thread because I think it's important. Things need to change. Because otherwise, I can't see myself staying here for much longer, and I'm willing to bet I'm not the only one.
dear mods
1. Disable Tor posting. Or if you're going to keep it, require some kind of verification like email + password accounts so you can keep track of people. The cons of keeping it around outweigh the pros, and I'm saying this as someone who regularly posts from Tor. People who are only here to stir up shit can and do use it to ban evade to their heart's content, and so you end up with people like Sandinistanon (picrel) who destroy every thread they touch.2.

I know this might be an unpopular opinion, but I like degeneralization. In generals, it's very easy for a topic worthy of discussion to get lost in the shuffle because some autist decided to hijack the thread. It's also easy for the opposite to happen, where the same topic comes up up over and over again because older posts go away too fast and people don't read the whole thread anyway. I've personally seen both happen on multiple occasions within the same day and at the same time

Developers/IT people and Administrators would still have site-wide power.
In order to break up the traffic to multiple boards, /leftypol/ would simply become the name of the overboard/site itself, and we could have in addition to a brazilian board, other boards for geopolitics, /edu/ would be renamed /theory/, etc.
I feel this would be a good thing because currently you have a ton of inactive or semi inactive mods who just hang out in the matrix all day and don't actually mod. Giving them their own little project/fiefdom would encourage them to clean up the thumbnail graveyard, and actually do maintenance on the alt boards.
you could have performance based metrics, using PPH / IPs on the front page you could measure if the mod is doing a good job by whether they have driven more traffic to their board over time while maintaining quality. If they do a good job they can get responsibility over another board of their choice, if not they will lose out to someone who does.
decentralize and reform
its clear to me that the current mod team is about as effective as an impacted bowel, and so radical reform is needed. I feel as though we should have a federal structure for leftypol. I.E. reorganize the matrix chat so that we have one room per board. Instead of having site wide mods we would have each board be governed by a single mod (for slower boards) or a clique of mods who share power. Each mod/mod clique could make their own decisions about who to bring on as janitors under them. Unlike now, those janitors would only be invited to the proper board-related room, and would not simply be junior mods non probation but instead would be perma-jannies.Developers/IT people and Administrators would still have site-wide power.

It would make sense to have a board like this on leftypol where a sizable chunk of the userbase struggles economically in one way or the other (especially with the decline of the labor aristocracy in places like the US + other countries). Think of it as a board where proles share notes on how to live a better life under The Man's system. You could call it something like /pl/ - proletarian living. Sharing knowledge on how to survive and thrive is just basic praxis and solidarity as far as I'm concerned.
/poor/ board?
Okay, so on 7chan there exists a board called /jew/-Thrifty Living. Basically, as the name suggests, its a board about how to survive as a broke ass prole. Some of the more interesting threads on that board are the DIY threads that teach you how to save money or make some side cash by using life hacks.It would make sense to have a board like this on leftypol where a sizable chunk of the userbase struggles economically in one way or the other (especially with the decline of the labor aristocracy in places like the US + other countries).

In order to rebuild /leftypol/ we had to secure new hosting, spin up and configure a server with software, firewall, etc. transfer and fix+configure the vichan/lain/leftypol source code, and load the SQL database dump, as well as configure cloudflare. This process was painstaking and slow. I suppose this goes to show the precarious nature of /leftypol/ in that both the domain name (paid for 10 years in advance and donated to the current mod team) and hosting have/are being paid by one individual as a passion project.
We are working diligently to secure backups so this will not happen again in the future.
Thank you for your patience - tech jannies
/leftypol/ outage
I'll make this brief. /leftypol/ was offline from around September 9, 2024 (Monday) until September 12, 2024 (Thursday). This was due to a hard disk failure on the server. When the split happened a few years ago, one of the previous mods/admins rented a bare metal server from a company (as opposed to a VPS/virtual machine instance) for us to host /leftypol/ on. As a result the hardware was not abstracted away. We were unable to boot the machine. Furthermore this individual, having paid for the server in advance, has since gone missing and has been so for at least 34 weeks. We were unable to log into the cloud account due to it sending his email address confirmation message which we were obviously unable to access. As a result, we could not ask the hosting company for support. Also as a result, the only thing we had access to was the cloudflare and a dated sql dump+copy of the source code. As far as I know, the media files (including pdfs), wiki, minecraft server, leftypol tv, etc. are all gone and even if the aforementioned individual returns, its possible that it still won't be able to be recovered due to the fact that they were on a hard disk that failed.In order to rebuild /leftypol/ we had to secure new hosting, spin up and configure a server with software, firewall, etc. transfer and fix+configure the vichan/lain/leftypol source code, and load the SQL database dump, as well as configure cloudflare. This process was painstaking and slow. I suppose this goes to show the precarious nature of /leftypol/ in that both the domain name (paid for 10 years in advance and donated to the current mod team) and hosting have/are being paid by one individual as a passion project.
We are working diligently to secure backups so this will not happen again in the future.
Thank you for your patience - tech jannies

These terms are massively overused, never used correctly, and usually result in a derail. May as well do something funny with it.

I’d also say there’s no problem discussing it either unless you’re more concerned with alienating potential male chauvinist allies over basically all women that might possibly be interested in radical politics
This board doesn’t discuss patriarchy
I don’t get why, patriarchy is a pretty pernicious and violent hierarchical structure that negatively effects both men and women, makes female workers more easily exploitable and easier to disrupt in organizing, makes men more likely to act as class collaborators with more powerful men against women from their own class and as a whole, is consistently used as a means to establish buy-in for many men into capitalism, with many reactionary bourgeois ideologies targeting young men playing heavily on patriarchal beliefs and norms, and of course, like it or not, but part of the issue with SA and less serious but still harmful forms of gendered and intimate abuse in some socialist parties and anarchist groups like it or not likely come down to patriarchal attitudes not sufficiently critiqued and deprogrammed out of male membersI’d also say there’s no problem discussing it either unless you’re more concerned with alienating potential male chauvinist allies over basically all women that might possibly be interested in radical politics

There is no organization going on on leftypol. In truth, there is only an ongoing process of atomization. Every day our numbers dwindle and our site loses users. The fact that we are so unwilling to recognize leftypol, not as a silly hangout spot, but as a military base surrounded by enemies on all sides, is probably why glowies even keep this website from going offline completely. We're an utterly worthless leftist organization. What is all the philosophy for if all of it is stupid edrama bullshit and attempts to explain an outside world we never explore ourselves? How exactly can leftypol have any purpose in this world if we don't convert people, or seek out comrades to befriend in person, or find leftist communities we can ally ourselves with, not that there are many of those. Why can't we have raids into other online spaces, or form communities on other websites that represent our interests as online leftists? Even twitteroid leftists do more activism online. Not to mention that there's a decrepit atmosphere of paranoia and existential dread, as well as everyone on leftypol being a piece of shit fossil who denounces porn addiction and criticizes everyone who actually makes an attempt to post something interesting for once. We practically do the glowies' work for them. If 4chan can organize real life attempts to steal a flag from shia labeouf's private residence then why cant we, i dunno, form cliques and networks of people willing to actually do shit? I wanted comrades from this place and all ive ever gotten were parasocial relationships with people who only share philosophy and poke and prod at anybody who suggests doing anything at all without giving anything in return. Fuck the air of critique here. Why cant you people propose projects? What's wrong with a 5 year plan? This is why the third world is the only hope of progress in the world. You firsties all gave an internet connnection and pretend to be "socialists" but you are the most antisocial people that could have ever pretended to be "comrades". This place is designed to lull leftists into a false sense of security and community. Wake up. Start organizing on a regional basis and stop focusing on the internet. You wont find any cameraderie online and your online comrades are pure fiction. Go outside.

It's time to dismantle /edu/
Let's face it; leftypol and all other side boards have become more retarded ever since the theoryposters were given the ability to seclude themselves in their little book club of a board. They don't crosspost and they don't debunk jack shit because they're too busy circlejerking eachother on /edu/ to give a fuck. This is clearly one of the biggest problems with the website. Although i used to believe that /edu/ should be left alone as a repository of information, a digital library for people on leftypol.org to view once in a while to read things, while promoting crossposting using the overboard feature, the jannies have no willpower to overhaul the site. Instead i say it's time to break an egg to make an omelette by forcing /edu/ out of their little gooncave so that everybody else can be forced to get browbeaten by theoryposters. For the purposes of this thread ill admit im a theorylet myself, but if you're an /edu/ poster youre just as useless as i am theoretically if you dont DEBOONK.

Because gas prices are lower or muh inflation wasn’t as high doesn’t have anything to do with Trump or Biden. Unironically saying it does is just buying into Great Man Theory and exposing your liberalism.

Because gas prices are lower or muh inflation wasn’t as high doesn’t have anything to do with Trump or Biden. Unironically saying it does is just buying into Great Man Theory and exposing your liberalism.

Bye guys.
It's been long overdue. I've worn out my welcome on leftypol.org, and although i have struggled to impress people and try to remain within the site's good graces by effortposting here and there, it's clear to me that nobody actually likes me here, and it's also clear that most of you guys are yankee collaborators if not outright US nationalists. I'm sick of being constantly ridiculed and mocked and it's probably better if i just focus on writing my second book and trying to stabilize my life, because my "comrades" sure as shit couldn't care less about any of it. I'm still going to be using element but i don't care about the site anymore, especially because the fucking staff can't fucking figure out that maybe instead of trying to constantly engage in the sisyphean task of banning reactionaries they should have been improving the site. I put forth proposals to improve the site myself, such as having an overboard that focuses mainly on collecting effortposts from /edu/ and /leftypol/ to reduce the theorylet problem, or having an overboard that focuses mainly on current events, like a dedicated NewsAnon section. I don't care to flesh out these ideas, i felt like i did a pretty good job explaining them in a thread that nobody cared enough to archive about 2 years ago. I understand that the jannies are understaffed but stop fucking wasting your time on cleaning up pepes and maybe focus on coding the fucking site idfk. Anyway goodbye guys. I thought maybe i'd have earned some respect by now but whatever. Despite the mockery and disrespect, i promise that when Socialism is established in the south, i will give all of you guys a position as indoor slaves where you can at least have air conditioning. You won't be mistreated.

You know what's funny? People on this site who want to strengthen their arguments by sharing links to Youtube videos. No, I will not watch your "educational" video. If you want to convince me, post a link to an article! Yes, text is superior to video. We should actually ostracise people who post here links to Youtube videos. Video is the medium of emotional manipulation, while acquiring information via text is much more analytic and distraction free. Text is pure information, video is a huge neon pile of shit which contains nearly no informational value. In short: Fuck video posters.

I have been banned for a month for saying Al Shifa has not been destroyed when the rocket chimpout haplened. I have been banned for stating an obvious fact that everyvody knew was true. Arent mods supposed to be impartial and not ban people based on what they dont like hearing but those who break rules? Literally why was I banned?

For me, I always get bans only from him on bogus nonesense, which gets immediately revoked, when other mods look at it. Seeing picrel, I'm not the only one, who has complained about this.
It's aggravating getting all my posts in a thread, including the effort ones, deleted. Even after unbanning, they remain gone.
This guy is clearly unqualified for moderation, since he abuses his power constantly to silence people he doesn't personally like.
Please, PLEASE do something finally! 🙏
wvobbly is out of control!

I believe the LGBT general should be on the main board, just perhaps without the suggestive OPs. My thoughts are such: I understand why the thread is on siberia, since it avoids the idpol discussion and puts us away from the worst of the homophobes. But this just feels like LGBT people have been quitely hidden away as to not cause drama with the anti-idpol crowd. It's a bit like someone who won't go out with their trans partner or mention the relationship to anyone because they don't want to worry about being stigmatised. There are also a lot of users who do not frequently go on siberia, so having the thread here means it isn't representing all of the queer people using the website, which is what it should be doing. There are at least as many, and almost certainly more, LGBT people who rebound away from the website because of the lack of totally clear representation as there would be socially conservative people who would shake their heads and leave because of it. Lastly, and I understand that this is just my own ideological perspective, and I even sympathis with the anti-idpol stance, but I think that minorities such as LGBT+ people should be targeted for socialist mobilization due to their marginalised positions, and we especially need proletarian queer spaces in order to achieve this. Even if it will cause trouble with a certain crowd, it is only fair to have the LGBT general on the main board.
Thanks for reading. If I could just add an adendum, I'd also like to say that there is a lot of casual misogyny across the website (I am not talking about the virgin threads). It infects people's normal speech. I know I'm sounding slightly like a dreaded SJW, but the subtle and totally unconscious misogyny is very grating. A more obvious part of it are words like 'roastie', but it is almost always much quieter than that. I'm unsure about a solution applicable to this website. Certainly, liberalism has no answer. The only real way is total revolution in society to eradicate unconscious patriarchy. If we really want to go beyond identity politics, we need total egality, and this sort of language and, more dangerously I fear, way of thinking, is not conducive to such egality. I don't like complaining about a problem and not having a solution, but I'm poasting anyway so there you go.

Using terms such as "firstoid", claiming vast swathes of the working class are not working class because they dont adhere to their made up standards of "real workers" despite fullfilling the marxist definition of proletariat, is a clear instance of identity politics. It is no different from sakaiists saying "white workers cant be revolutionary" or other forms of race and identity based politics.
This is a clear violation of the "no Identity Politics" rule of /leftypol/.
In accordance with this, the moderation team needs to crack down on these groups, not least because they have historically been a wrecker force to the movement and most likely to pull people into fascistic currents.
Workerists and people who use the word "firstoid" are identitarians
Workerism and the fetishization of the third world has grown more and more on this site. To anyone with an actual understanding of marxism, it is clear these people base their entire politics out of the aesthetic liking of a specific subset of the proletariat, and sometimes not even proletariat but ethnicities or countries.Using terms such as "firstoid", claiming vast swathes of the working class are not working class because they dont adhere to their made up standards of "real workers" despite fullfilling the marxist definition of proletariat, is a clear instance of identity politics.

I don't believe this because I always found it funny, even when it's done at the expense of me or other leftists. Is the reason that the jannies truly hate soyjaks because of the fact that, at some subconscious level, they fear that they truly are soyjaks?
Let me elaborate, I know I might sound chinletdy here but bear with me. By this I don't mean the mods fear that they are literally the superficial pathetic, open-mouthed caricatures that characterize the myopia of right wing aesthetic "critique". Rather, I mean that I wonder whether the jannies have banned soyjak because they harbor a deep-seated internal fear that they might be the fabled half-man of outward meekness that harbors internal monstrosities; A being who believes they are good, and takes keen effort in ensuring the world sees them as good, but at a base level can be reduced to the horrors of his or her unrestrained libidinal desire. Moreover, I wonder if the soyjak gets to them because the stupidity of the average right winger that dabbles in soy-art is an impenetrable fortress, so much so that it makes critique of their artwork a psychic nightmare and an internal crisis that emerges from an inability to reconcile with the artwork's irreconcilability.
Finally, I wonder if jannies dislike the soyjak because of an unintended critique laden in soy-art, which generates, within both the right-wing creators and left-wing deriders, a fear of being castrated or of being considered among the castrated. Considering this board is majority-male, I would not hesitate to say that there is a high possibility our jannies might be among the many here who carry a neurotic fear of emasculation.
>It's shitty art
In the same way cave paintings are maybe. As a mark of human existence, soybooru is a treasure of paranoid desire and far more reflective of a universal loop of hate-agony that found a unique expression in the mind of the rightoid: Perhaps our era's version of "futurism". From my understanding, no left wing visual art project, to date, has produced the heights of brutal ecstasy and real-world affect as found in the violence-spurring hyperstitious effect of soyjaks.
I say with great sorrow that it was the soyjaks who had a part in producing Tarrant, and it was the soyjaks who had a part in producing his several copycats. One of my morbid fascinations is reading the manifestos of these putrid psychopaths is that they make use of a dialect of imageboard-speak that sprung from the minds of the soyteens. While this statement itself may be taken as an argument against soyjaks, I think that it is the restrictive reaction against soyjaks by the left that has a part to play in their psychological effectiveness.
To taboo-ify soyjaks, and to deem them symbols of the right, or to ban them under the dishonest pretense of them not being funny, you let them win. You let them empower the creatures with violence, and draw from them when they smash through the glass wall of reality and enter into the night as callous murderers steeped in the hatred of their mutilated aesthetic.
The solution, in my eyes, is to water the soyjak down, to reduce it, to make it superfluous, and to universalize it. As long as we remain bitterly opposed to being depicted as ugly, bald emasculates, then it will remain the punching bag of an enemy who believes our rejection (and perhaps correctly) is a sign that we are, indeed, soyjaks.
I for one see no reason why the ugly, bald emasculate should be reviled and the hostility towards it, or of being depicted it, seems to me the sign of our social backwardness. In our societies rife with violence and hatred, the only solution other than communism itself, is the arrival of this new type of man, this meek, sensitive and intelligent type of man, who does not concern himself with the needlessly serious vanities chased by the right, doomed to be reduced to dust, but with joyful frivolities and the development of his inner self, knowing full well our time here on earth is short, and there is nothing to do but love and be loved.
I'd like to hear your ridicule, but especially your most sincere thoughts, if you have any.

Was posting in a seperate thread, but I'd thought I should make a new thread on this.
In this thread: >>29952
After there was a fight about porn being on /siberia/ – personally think it should be hidden behind a flair/toggle, (if I wasn't struggle on the job search, I'd contribute and add that feature (if allowed) – there was then an argument on if the bulbasour images were pedophilia.
The argument basically went, as always:
>X is pedophilia
<How?
>IT JUST IS OKAY?!?!?!
<*Insert 3-7 similar replies* it's not
>*Smugly* you guys are actually wrong.
Whenever this topic is brought up, it goes like this or something similar, and it completely derails the threads.
I understand this is abit of a slippery slope, but I think we should put bans for people who argue that those drawings are cp.
Bans for like a few hours or a day or something.
A ban for troll like behavior, and by extention: those who feed the troll are also given a slap on the wrist.
I'm not asking for loli images to be allowed.
Such a topic can't even be appproached since how we talk about it is awful.
For instance, it shouldn't be called "cp"/"cartoon cp" when it has no connection to child sexual assult, unlike phyiscal cp.
If anything on that, we need a new term for "cartoon cp", to make it easier to talk about.
My issue is taking the analysis of the "cartoon cp", and arguing that something unrelated is "cartoon cp", because it """looks""" like a human child.
While sure I'm fine with people having moderatly bad takes – these people poison the discussion in every way:
>As the already mention lack of sexual assult, equivalating "cartoon cp" with actual cp, leads people to give tips to anti child abuse agencies on this stuff, which has halted their ability to fight against pedophilia.
<They've been on record to stop telling them about this stuff because of how much of a waste of time it is.
<These posters are literally defending pedophilia by calling it cp.
>This thinking that X has to be cartoon cp, which is just them wanting to see it as cartoon cp so they can be right, infantizes people to them.
<Img rel, for example, was a character used in a thread months ago, where people claim that it was a child because it "looks" like one.
<The idea of a short woman with small breasts and makeup, does not cross their mind – and such behavior it worsened by just further expanding to just having one of those qualities as pedophilic.
>It's because of that infantizing, it leads to people slandering bisexuals as pedophiles because they like twinks. Because a guy with smooth skin or makeup = child.
<Which, unsurpring, that we then see the slander trend of calling lgbt members "groomers", and by extention, "pedophiles".
<What those posters are doing it literally supporting/defending anti-lgbt movements.
>On the rebecaa thread example, the only other argument given is that: "The authors said so Some people who worked on it think it looked like a child."
<Instead of approaching art as something that, while you can learn about the author to get a another perspective, it's still divorced from the author, and you're free to interpret it regardless of their want.
<They're defending copy right to the extention that you can't even be free to see something without the authors consent
That last point is also a fuel of the derailing.
It's:
>The author said it's a child, so ergo it's a child, the author is alive and we must serve them!
but then it's:
<The author didn't say a child, but it looks like a child, so ergo it's a child, the author has always been dead!
It can only be one or the other.
If they actually cared about fighting against pedophilia, they wouldn't resort to debate-bro techniques of lieing constantly so they can win points.
These posters can only be summarized as: like Chris Hansen; not an ally, but a road block.
But hey, if the majority of the community disagrees, feel free to label the post as cringe, (using a ban message to make it easier to check on).
Also: alot the stuff mentioned about, like the rebecca thread, is old shit that I originally was going to make this post about, and many of the type of posters who comment on this probably have left.
But the topic never got properly moved past, and I figured making this thread will allow a proper step towards moving past this.
Grammer errors are because when I set up my computer, I choose "Brazil" as my location sicne I wanted a timezone ahead, and I've been too lazy to change the actual setting that makes my system use english as the default language, and by extention chromeium spell checks those errors.
I have work in a few minues, so I won't be looking at this until either tonight, or tomorrow night when I'm off work again.
Anything that requires a source, (except the rebecca thread I guess), I can go grab, though it's not hard to find. Like the "cartoon cp" having no relation to child sexual assult you can find the article easily if you look up the debate about it or cp on wikipedia.

Proposal: Moderator votes remain the counted votes in admin decisions, but users should let vote using strawpolls (or perhaps polling systems built into the site?) per topic to display general user attitude to a proposal. If the majority User opinion directly opposes moderator majority vote then the proposals should be discussed and votes called on again after a break of 1-2 weeks to let people rethink positions on a topic.

Proposal: Make this the ‘official’ Leftypol channel >>>/leftypol/534666
—
Proposal: I think that we should also keep the current userbase engaged, making things like weekly game tournaments, actual organized debates, movie nights followed by discussion and so on. I've been thinking that a weekly leftypol podcast could be a good idea, just a couple of anons talking about what happened in the board and the world during the past week and inviting people to talk if they so desire, we could have debates there, and interviews and other things, and share it on spotify for others to see.
—
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.
Proposal Agenda Thread
Hello everyone. This is the thread to make proposals. Feel free to have your say whether user or mod. We have these proposals did not pass last week, but may be worthy of further discussion:—

Very strange ban. Is making multiple threads spamming to the mod that banned me? I think I know what thread I got banned for (I can only guess however since the mods deleted it, so I'm assuming it's that one) but interesting to see I didn't get banned for the content of the thread itself, but for making previous threads. Can the mod that banned me explain a little bit? Two weeks seems excessive as well.

If I found out one of my neighbors was a Nazi smearing his propaganda all over the internet I'd kill him (in minecraft). I'd go to prison just to know one less Nazi walked the earth (in Sim City 2).

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.

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

Here's a sample of threads from 8chan's /marx/: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://8ch.net/marx/res/*
/marx/ was also previously linked on the old BO administration's list of associated boards.

In case somebody doesn't know who Ismail is and why this change would be helpful: on 8chan he was the board owner for an associated board called /marx/ where he would answer questions random anons would ask him about Marxism. He also posted books that he uploads scans of to the Internet Archive.
Here's a sample of threads from 8chan's /marx/: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://8ch.net/marx/res/*
/marx/ was also previously linked on the old BO administration's list of associated boards.

Noticed this in the mod logs yesterday. How is a negative time ban even possible? Wouldn't it be pointless because negative time is time that happened before the event? It's some 4D Interstellar shit.

I'll keep the OP short, blog post inside. There are a few reasons, the main one is I am completely demotivated to prolong the decline of this site. There is a major contradiction between much of the mod team and /leftypol/. My time is better spent elsewhere.
I have no interest in returning until these contradictions are resolved. Resolving them would require harsh and uncomfortable decisions by people unlikely to make them, so I have no confidence it will happen.

It happened again, for the third time now, that I was banned from all boards based on a falsehood.
The first time was for alledged ban-evasion, the second supposed "low-effort" posting and the third for "spam IP".
The first case was luckily reversed. The second one's appeal was denied, where I had to wait, till it expired (24 hours) and the third would have meant a ban for 22 weeks!!!
This is insanely excessive! I would have had no means to communicate to the staff that this ban was wrong, since I'd be banned from /meta/ too.
I have to ask again, why such severe bans are thrown around utterly recklessly. WTF?!?
Banning from all boards is shitbrained. At least keep the option for people to file a complaint in /meta/ for the high possibility of getting unfairly banned!
Could the mods get a grip please? I was banned after just the first post today.

There's pages of other threads for other topics so don't derail it with 'jannies should/nt ban [x]'.
—–
I believe a discussion community should ideally be capable of self-moderating. There are some obstacles to this, and I want to ask what they are, which can be solved, and how it can be achieved.
1) Why curate?
In a sentence, so that the catalogs aren't filled with or endorsing 'the same thread every week', reactionary shitposts, idpol bait topics and other generally-unwanted or quality-degrading topics.
Most of the community consider this a detraction from insightful threads getting attention, a welcome sign to unwelcome users, or simply a bad experience. Too much of this, and the users leave and the site essentially dies.
1) b. Why self-curate?
In a list:
>so that the site isn't reliant on random volunteer jannies to stop the above from happening
>so that jannies can be told with confidence to not curate topics that currently would just sit at the top of the site all day if they didn't
>so that a raid when jannies aren't online isn't paralyzing for hours
2) Tools of self-moderation
Online forums have different methods of self-moderation. Some sites like reddit are famous for a straight-forward, direct curation method of user-voting: a thread must be pushed up less than it is pushed down to continue being promoted. This is moderation based on approval.
Imageboards and forums use a 'bump' system: unless explicitly instructed otherwise, a post will rise all the way to the top whenever a reply is made. This is moderation based on attention.
Both styles have their pros and cons. With the bump system, for example, any approval raises threads to the top equally, which promotes attention to unpopular/slow yet positive threads. On the other hand, disapproval tends to promote threads. This is evident when a 'bait' thread stays at the top despite most posters considering it a bad thread, leading people to request moderator intervention as a drizzle of users disputing to the thread or two autists arguing keep it stuck to the top of the site.
On an imageboard, the bump system is the core method of user-controlled curation. There are also some malicious tactics such as Papiezposting (essentially flooding a thread with spam to prevent discussion) which is an easy way to get banned on any forum with a semblance of quality control. Others are social (such as memetic) rather than mechanical, which generally has little potency in an anonymous forum until there's a higher participation rate.
There are also personal moderation tools like filters and hiding, although this doesn't have a direct effect on what the site overall gives attention to.
3) Obstacles to self-moderation
>lack of awareness and participation
Due to the asymmetry of the bump system, if you don't bump but five other mad people do every minute, it's invalidated.
>>>new users
See above.
>self-control
Impulsive users see something they disagree with and think they have to respond. In you're not helping and your not having fun, why reply?
>believing sage helps
Saging is a false god when used in disagreement: it still prompts a response that almost certainly will be a bump. Saging is useful when you think your post doesn't warrant the thread being raised, when your post doesn't prompt a reply, or when the site is fast enough to handle counter-bumping.
>malicious self-bumping
This is largely invalidated by this site's rule against samefagging.
4) Methods of self-moderating a bump system
The most effective thing you can do to promote a better board is to bump existing threads with good posts the prompt positive discussion. Make good threads worth posting in. Create original content or effortposts if you can. Just saying 'bump' is a shitpost that doesn't really help beyond a few seconds. There's 36 pages of threads, surely there are ten good ones you can contribute to.
Secondly, raise awareness. Drive-by thread-shitters and impulsive bait-bitters caught in a thread don't realize they're keeping what they hate at the top of the site so that it will stay there longer. You don't need to get caught up in a conversation and contribute to the bumping, just notify and leave.
Thirdly, don't be part of the problem. Don't reply to obvious shitposts that anyone with a brain-stem can see the issues with. Simple enough.
If you must express disapproval, then don't even give them something to reply to and start a fight. Post your favorite laughing reaction image and ignore.
But we can't do that! We need jannies to delete bait because 10 people will take it!
I've seen sites self-moderate. I've seen places where a /pol/ flame won't get more than one reply and sink off the bottom. It's usually in slow places distant from 4chan IHM culture who have dealt with enough shit-and-run baiters to have to have learnt how to deal with them if they don't want to go to shit
There are reasons why we don't have that culture right now: people used to other sites who never considered this, a mutual pessimism that resistance is futile due to other bait-takers, a lack of awareness and any community culture, narrow-sightedness, all kinds of things.
But the great thing about a community is that culture can and will change if the people in it want it to.

/hangout/ thread on main board
I know half of you will freak out because its me saying it, but could we have a thread on the main board that is just for people to hang out in, post random shit, generally talk about things, not necessarily politics related but obviously there will be a lot of crossover. Like Matrix/fbi.gov but you don't have to sign in an all that junk. Just a thread for banter and shitposting. Yes technically there is a whole board for that on /b/ but i feel a fast hangout thread would be better. Also whatever happening thread is happening and ITG end up defacto being this anyways, so it might free those threads up a bit.

Hello everyone, we have decided to take some measures to try to make /meta/ more productive - first of all, all posts by mods wil now be identified by mod tag (preferably) or by putting mod in the name field if needed. This will also apply on all other site management threads. Individual mod names will be optional. We hear the criticisms that have been levelled on this issue and we apologise that it has taken some time to take this action.In addition we would like /meta/ to be a more productive space in general, so please try to post suggestions for improvement rather than blanket criticisms.

When did the mods on this site become the same stick-in-the-butt-leftism-is-a-secret-treehouse types as the reddit mods?
Like, wasn't one of the key moments in leftypol history the Catgirl meme war, where we established that pictures aren't inherently reactionary?
Weren't the original principles of this forum of ours that unlike every other "leftist" space on the internet, we don't take the bad faith "everyone is a reactionary unless they prove they aren't" path to community building. Don't we believe that "open discourse and shitposting is a superior pedagogy to strictly moderating and banning potential comrades for not towing an increasingly strict line of things that will lead to instant bans?
I've been in the meta room on Matrix, and it essentially functions exactly how you'd expect it to: Mods and their sycophants acting like they are above everything and not wanting to dissent, because the logic of these spaces is always:
>If you disagree that we should ban someone for X, then that must mean you support/defend X.
And no one wants to be that person who criticises the process for fear of being labelled a reactionary themselves.
Clearly something has gone wrong in the process. I propose a "Poster's Union Thread" where only non-mods and janitors may post. Would the moderators agree to that?

Why is the Matrix server not end to end encrypted?
Whoever has rights to this room should enable end to end encryption.
I understand that because there are around 300 users in the room at current count you might think that this doesn't give much security but actually it gives more than you think.
First of all if the users are using the public matrix .org server, and then that server is a counterparty and can read all of the messages. Why let them? And the same is true of any other public or semi public server.
And even in the case where it's a law enforcement who for whatever stupid reason wants to see, having them end to end encrypted makes the investigation more costly because they have to find somebody with the key who is willing to share it. That's not hard to do when you got 300 people to go through but it is definitely work and won't get done in an hour, probably has a turn around time around 6 for the feds.
Finally there is the point that ISPs can read all the messages. It's just not smart to leave it off

The first time was for alledged ban-evasion and the second supposed "low-effort" posting.
The first case was luckily reversed. The second one's appeal was denied, which is a first. I had to wait till my unfair ban expired to even post here (24 hours).
I find this all boards ban dangerous, extremely excessive in my cases and impractical. Especially the first one would have meant a 6 week ban if it weren't withdrawn. I would have had no means to communicate to the staff that this ban was wrong, since I'd be also banned from /meta/.
This wasn't the case in past bans for me, so I have to ask, why such severe punishment is being made for minor offenses now. In my cases, they weren't even justified. The appeal box only lets in very few characters to explain oneself, which I also find bad.
Apart from this, some mods seem to have a grudge against me, since pretty much 90% of my past bans were completely unjustified, and were always quickly reversed after my appeals.
I'd suggest you to look into this issue, because it seems some mods are abusing their power here. I've also seen this happen to other posters like IronFelix. His views in the Ukraine general aren't bad or rule-breaking by any means (from what I've seen, since mods delete posts without leaving any red texts like they used to), but only unpopular among Zisters, which leads to him getting banned all the time, while actual trolls remain for hours shitting up the thread. Sometimes, they even get a warning before banning for repeated rule violation.
This is ridiculous.

The ban would only apply to content posted after the rule comes into effect. The punishment would be a simple deletion or short ban for repeat/egregious offenders. The rationale for the change is that these memes are incredibly tired and many of them are outright reactionary, and they allow /pol/ to have rent free real estate in all of our heads. They are derivative and dull and they stifle the production of any new material or effort posting and the like. This change is only a proposal at this point so please make your thoughts known (PS: posting these memes in response to this post is expected and will only prove the point so have fun).

In the /prc/ China general there was someone who posted this link, https://twitter.com/CindyXiaodanYu/status/1597247427781984257?cxt=HHwWgoDQ9dWEyKosAAAA, to a video of protesters in China arguing with someone in a way that could be construed as coming from a pro-communist but anti-CPC tendency. The anonymous arguer says that the protests are sponsored by foreign agents and is replied to saying "what foreign agents?? Marx? Engels? Did foreign agents allow the fire to occur in the tower block? We can't even access the western internet we have no rights!"
Really, it's inconsequential. A group of random men with a megaphone, it's worthless to argue about. What is more important here is the behavior of the person who posted it. The post read "MAOIST WRECKERS BEHIND CHINA PROTESTS," and has the ban message from an admin saying "(astroturf IP) (potentially sussy amogus IP)," and in the replies are these messages which have also been linked to similar sussy IPs and banned -
It's unbelievable that in le West we need to remind "our comrades" that Marx literally advocated for building productive forces. It's in the fucking Communist Manifesto, btw.(I can see you ban evading buddy)
Glory to Mao. Glory to Mao Zedong thought. Glory to the Maoists of China and May they take over once more. Glory to the communes, glory to the red brigade. Down with the revisionists.(ban evading astroturf)
Notice the switching between differing tenancies wrapped in absurd flavored, cultish rhetoric. There are only two possibilities for what this person is; either a "glowie" or an anonymous hobbyist troll, and in that second possibility we could consider it a piece of art that draws to attention a potent astroturfing tactic that we've seen used before - the creating of cultist fringe tendencies within the communist movement that from a new reader gives off an air of insanity, of cultish frothing, spewing terms from marxist theory six per sentence whilst creating internal divisions within the communist community to generate internal battles between groups of people who, even though having differing opinions on what is "good or bad," still agree on the materialist analysis of what is going on in the real world.
If this actually was a glowie astroturfer (and an inexperienced new hire), then the implication that we are worthy enough to troll is quite flattering. This video is quite a good example of fringe-group infighting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtubShygZUs. I am also sure than anyone on here who has been obsessed with the communist users on twitter at any point will remember maoists and their public talk of attacking infrastructure and other LARP plans that would dismay the sorts of people we advocate for.
Everything you have ever said has been generated from everything you've ever heard. When you are around people you begin to have their style of speech and ideas slowly encroach into your own via human instinct. You are not immune from these people. Look what happened with the turncoats who ran off to LARP with Haz.

Really, it's inconsequential. A group of random men with a megaphone, it's worthless to argue about. What is more important here is the behavior of the person who posted it. The post read "MAOIST WRECKERS BEHIND CHINA PROTESTS," and has the ban message from an admin saying "(astroturf IP) (potentially sussy amogus IP)," and in the replies are these messages which have also been linked to similar sussy IPs and banned -
It's unbelievable that in le West we need to remind "our comrades" that Marx literally advocated for building productive forces. It's in the fucking Communist Manifesto, btw.(I can see you ban evading buddy)
Glory to Mao. Glory to Mao Zedong thought. Glory to the Maoists of China and May they take over once more. Glory to the communes, glory to the red brigade. Down with the revisionists.(ban evading astroturf)
Notice the switching between differing tenancies wrapped in absurd flavored, cultish rhetoric. There are only two possibilities for what this person is; either a "glowie" or an anonymous hobbyist troll, and in that second possibility we could consider it a piece of art that draws to attention a potent astroturfing tactic that we've seen used before - the creating of cultist fringe tendencies within the communist movement that from a new reader gives off an air of insanity, of cultish frothing, spewing terms from marxist theory six per sentence whilst creating internal divisions within the communist community to generate internal battles between groups of people who, even though having differing opinions on what is "good or bad," still agree on the materialist analysis of what is going on in the real world.
If this actually was a glowie astroturfer (and an inexperienced new hire), then the implication that we are worthy enough to troll is quite flattering. This video is quite a good example of fringe-group infighting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtubShygZUs. I am also sure than anyone on here who has been obsessed with the communist users on twitter at any point will remember maoists and their public talk of attacking infrastructure and other LARP plans that would dismay the sorts of people we advocate for.
Everything you have ever said has been generated from everything you've ever heard. When you are around people you begin to have their style of speech and ideas slowly encroach into your own via human instinct. You are not immune from these people. Look what happened with the turncoats who ran off to LARP with Haz.

/grass/ - Board for everything non internet/screen/media related, eg cooking, sports, fitness, making friends, drugs, whatever. Cause we could all use a bit less internet.
/life/ - Pretty much the same as above but about only 'lifestyle' topics like cooking etc.
/tv/ - Television board since there are multiple active TV topics on /hobby/ and the general has gone to 500.
/antianglo/ - Board where no English language is allowed
OR
/antianglo/ - Board where nobody from the anglosphere is allowed (CANZUK+US) but English is allowed
OR
/antianglo/ - Board where everyone is allowed but discussion of Anglosphere-related things is not allowed. Learn a bit about other cultures and so on.
Any other ideas also welcomed. Please let us know any feedback on these ideas or your suggestions.
As for /x/ we have decided not to create it as a board due to the lack of popularity during the original 30 day run. But maybe we can try some old board ideas again in the future.

twitter.com should word filter to nitter.net so all /leftypol/ers can be directed to that front end instead of the main site whenever a twitter link gets posted to reduce potential data collection. It wont break any links just make them viewed by the front end. Using the url it also wont add an annoying needless confusing conversion of Twitter to Nitter. Twitter links get posted often. What this will do is help protect us from more invasive datamining from Twitter.

I got banned for a week by the mod wvobbly without clear reason or explanation. All his message stated was 'pol', so I can't even know what actually caused the ban. I'm obviously not pol and have been here since the 8chan days, but if you really thought I was you could have simply checked my post history. Last thing I did before the ban was argue with an ancap on a very poor quality thread and I didn't break the rules
>>>/leftypol/1229929/
I was banned from /meta/ as well, and my appeal was denied. So I had no way to defend myself.
I'd like an explanation because from my perspective the ban and its length don't make sense, and this wvobbly is just handing out arbitrary bans.

What happened to leftypol?
Oldfag here, it's been a while since I've used leftypol but it genuinely seems like the site has improved. Whatever happened to bunkerchan anyway? Maybe my memory of the 8gag days are fuzzy but the current leftypol seems like less of a neckbeard echochamber. Don't get me wrong, it's still an anonymous imageboard and with that comes a certain amount of toxicity, but now idpol threads seem rarer or at least there is definitely a certain amount of pushback when people use being "anti-idpol" as cover for being reactionary. I'm also glad users seem to have outgrown Muke and co.Btw, I still remember that one time leftypol had a massive hardon for Jeremy Corbyn, there were so many memes and they're all saved on my phone.

been seeing a lot of picrel since july. Is this one guy or is this some new annoying strain of anti-"""totalitarian""" liberalism that has infected the board? The constant accusations of having not read any theory are particularly rich, and the vague gesturing towards a perfect revolution that need not be carried out violently nor defended with violence is laughable. The inability to distinguish between "critical" support and "uncritical" support is also common in posts of this vintage, as is a very glowing tendency to get frustrated at Anti-American sentiment. "Why do you hate America? Just get mad at capitalism! Ignore that America is the current unipolar capitalist hegemon doing all the coups and IMF loans and privatization! Sh-shut up!!"

Reacting upon the OP lumping together feminists with "loudmouth conservative boomers" and "alt right manchildren", I wrote a friendly remainder that you can't really be a socialist without being a feminist as well. I later noticed that my post was silently removed. The OP remains.
That this can be an inflammatory issue on this site does not elude me, but here's the rub: on any other socialist space that I know of, my statement would have been uncontroversial to the point of being meaningless. Feminism is literally the stance that genders should be equal, and that some amount of struggle towards that goal is warranted. Now, far be it from me to demand that leftypol conform to the standards of other socialist forums! However, I think that clear and articulated rules and policies are always serviceable – if nothing else than to elucidate what audience is welcome, or not – so with that in mind I kindly ask our mods to clarify the following: is leftypol an anti-feminist site, or is it not?

B) how was the above mentioned not an abuse of power? The fucker LITERALLY deleted after modifying & stickying that post pertaining to communist discourse, for whatever reason.

Why do mods throw the idpol ban out the window when it comes to religion?

INCREASE THE FUCKING BAN APPEAL CHARACTER LIMIT BY LIKE TENFOLD

I was just falsely banned for ridiculing a reactionary position (gays=pedos). I even fucking REPORTED the mother fucker and he was banned in the same thread. Then I get banned after the context is [deleted], and I have like what… 100-200 characters to appeal the ban?
Ridiculous.
For the love of God, give us at lest 1k character limit on appeals. Actual communists will write a small essay to explain why you mods shouldn't have banned him/her, while reactionary assholes will just write "lol, fuk u jew" in the appeal field.
TL;DR: Give comrades the space to explain the context and themselves. Otherwise we are losing valuable ppl.

Evidence of a junko denying the genocide of Palestinians by the imperialist Israeli government, repeating talking points made by hardline Zionists in the Israeli and US governments, as well as spouting schizo religious sectarianism that doesn't belong anywhere near leftist spaces.
Over the last few months we have seen countless anons banned for being "glowies" after making much more moderate and less sus posts abut Ukraine. Junko's posts break both the site idpol rules and past precedent set by mods. I can only assume that she is permitted to post stuff that regular anons would get banned on sight for simply because she is a tripfag and friends with the mods. I sincerely hope this is not the case and would like to be proven wrong.

To bring up just two of our most notable examples, namefags such as King Lear and Grillpilled Schizo have made posts bragging about
A) How America will handily defeat Russia in a real war and how it would be good, and
B) Critical Support for Azov Battalion.
And that's just the namefags. The anonymous posters are also full of people quoting out of context, trying their best to regurgitate demoralization /pol/ memes but without the racism ("OH NO NO NO RUSSIAN BROS HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?", "Putin is FINISHED", etc.), and even just re-posting stuff straight from Ukrainian or Western MSM without even bothering to first re-package it in an ultra-"left" critique.
How do we stop the glowies? Simply range banning American IPs won't fix this; they'd just fire up their VPNs and be back the next day. There must be a systemic and concentrated effort to puzzle out how to fix this, preferably BEFORE we become a popular forum and not AFTER.

Recent events (particularly the Ukraine threads) have revealed just how many bad faith actors relentlessly shilling and promoting Western talking points have joined up on this board.

There is a serious contingent on this website of nazbols and strasserites on this board. They say they want the working class to own the means of production. They say they want to overthrow the bourgeoisie. Good.
They also think all bourgeoisie are blue-haired black Jewish transwomen for some reason. They will accuse you of "idpol" unprovoked, while constantly spamming the maxim gorky quote about fascists being homosexual. They find a kindly worded request to stop discriminating comrades based on their identity more problematic than anything. They will call you a n*gger, a f*ggot, a r*tard, a k*ke, and a wrecker with almost zero provocation. They will judge you even more harshly if you respond to them in a level-headed way without using slurs
It's all so tiresome. It's not comradely behavior and I frankly think these people would embrace fascists at the drop of a hat if the fascists merely promised them redistribution. Doesn't even matter if they deliver. Simply the rhetoric of class is enough.
