/meta/ - Ruthless criticism of all that exists (in leftypol.org)

HEY MODS!

Please don't just merge threads. Make a post announcing it a while in advance, because otherwise it just looks exactly as if the thread got deleted.
This is especially an issue if a non-local OP has their thread disappear without any reason and assume they're just not welcome anymore.
in fact, just don't merge threads tbh. its not as if we have 5 USA news threads covering the first page

October 10th 2022: tor node is disabled
Mod response: >>23341
>Tor service is not broken, it requires authorization
>We're working on a tentative solution which will allow access to the onion hidden service based on user accounts, in order to moderate the the traffic coming from the loopback address in more targeted way

The tor node was then down for ~3 months. The account system discusses was never implemented - likely because it's a terrible idea. Eventually you were forced to enable tor again due to internal and external pressure.

MODS HEAR MY CALL.

lol

in the /siberia/ sex and relationship general

remember: "image.webp.enable = false" so it never caches.

Oh I see what it is, the 2+2 prompt is only on OPs, not replies. So it is an effective deterrent is a sense.

>>29009
sorry this isn't good enough - unless there is an official policy banning this image (like the wojak script) there is no good reason to delete only one specific reaction image, because presumably it annoys you. Are we living under the rules which are merely enforced by mods, or does every post have to cater to individual mods specific "tastes".

>>29021
it's spammy and somehow worse than users that post with an avatar.
You deserve it for being obnoxious.

anyone who posts pics of lena denham should be banned

>Russians use American military speak
did you forget how this conversation started? take that American cock out of your mouth, diaspo.

>>29037
1) Yes Russians do use some American lingo, including military lingo - it's called loan-words.
2) Reread my post
>every country with a standing army has veterans and people that sign up for service and later discharged
>Army speak flows out into the population naturally, veterans or servicemen leave their posts and use this language irl.
My point being that this is universal for all countries with a military, has military lingo become part of common language, English, Russian, Chinese, etc. and it's not cringe, it's consistent with how language develops and grows over time. A specific usage becomes more widespread with exposure and time if it is relevant. Acronyms, slang and terminology spread naturally, regardless of origin.

>>28817
Yes we can.

>>28820
Not now, but large scale raids in the past use TOR. IIRC the raid that came from Thai royalists use TOR. This idea is just a backup in case we get raided and have to turn off TOR but still let people who need it to post still able to post.

>>28822
> This idea is just a backup in case we get raided and have to turn off TOR
Ok, that's not bad

Also be careful with how heavy handed you do your moderation, the other site is relying on that for you to chase away the userbase and make this site unuseable.
Paste /i/res/1351.html to their link and you'll see.

>>28820
Like literally right now ThingNoticer is using TOR to spam.

>>28823
Yea we will try to test it to see if it works before implementing it.

>>28844
Tbh I think it just means that IPs which are flagged as bad faith get banned under a single term. You don’t have to actually spam to get banned for it, it’s the mods way of telling you to fuck off and stop ruining this place.

There should be, it's a really huge strike going on. Although I'm guessing the auto industry will be bailed out, just like every other major insolvent compromised institution and enterprise is these days. Although, taking into consideration the economic realities due to massive increases in the cost of living - price inflation - that is not so much the fault of employers or businesses. It's a currency issue: insolvency. And currency issues have to do with unsustainable governmental budgets and bad central banking monetary policies.

nice cat

>>28987
its in the general

damn this thread got me sap af I think I may be one of the few zoomer posters here and also completely missed the peak era of the sight by a few years. I've been phoneposting and lurking this imageboards since middleschool but literally didn't own a PC until abt a year or two ago. lmk if theres any chill life boat servers fr. fwiw the site is slow and low pop but that gives it kinda of a cozy feel. Generally speaking I still get a good discussions(fucking galaxybrain tier by 4chan standards) as long as you avoid certain generals. I get annoyed by the whole socialism is when the government does stuff and has decent foreign policy crowd but they're only a problem cuz issa slow and small sight so a couple no-lifers can easily fuck up all discussion. It's still annoying to have some guy who has a cold war americans understanding of socialism shit there pants everytime someone has a slightly different opinion then them. Like >>28971 said alotta Dengist posters are great and have convincing arguements. Its basically the Leninhat-Tankanon users who would be annoying no matter what tendency they want to misunderstand that are the problem. I also suspect at least one or two of the mods actively side with them but thats pure speculation. tbh I could see the site having a resurgence if chan culture in general does just cuz its the only imageboard I know of that effectively purges nazis that alone makes it way more appealing to new people than any other board. ik this corny but if anyone wants to drop a fbi.gov server link I do need some chill commie servers again cuz my old acc got deleted.

>>28973
Mfs need to learn to do their research and organize whatever theory they own.
There is a point to quoting everything marx, engels and lenin wrote like the gospel. Most of it is accurate for the time. Their lives are well understood and so are the caveats i.e. specific tactical positions.
Better yet, quote often and for every time explain the circumstances of the quote and why it may be applied outside of them.

most users left last year i think
it's gone the way of every imageboard

>>28971
>have solid arguments
pretty much every interaction i've had with them has been them throwing a bad faith tantrum
these are people who have been isolated from society and developmentally inhibited as a result, i think

>>28967
This is exactly why .net came into existence in the first place.

I think anons saying that the cultural moment of leftypol has post might hold some validity, but, I think it has more to do with this than anything.

>>28918
then why you lying

>>28919
you may as well fuck off and die

Go fuck yourself you racist prick

I've def posted china skeptical shit b4 without getting banned but I wouldn't be suprised if a faction of the modteam were nolifers aligned with the whole multapolarist-dengist crew. fwiw most of the dengists here are fine its just the mfers built like leninhat/Tankanon that fuck discussion up but they would do that regardless of what ideology they try to turn into a replacment for a personality. that being said I do think it would be helpful if we actually knew if the mods ideologies better just for transparency sake. also wtw with this pasquale guy some people have a strong dislike for that fellow. Misato and Sabocat are the only mods I think I've directly interacted with and they seemed p chill.

>>28790
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

>>28789
>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)
