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

Hello /leftypol/ users. This is a thread to post ordinances, i.e. ad hoc rules voted on by the modocracy, which are not covered explicitly by the rules in rules.html, though most are arguably applications or clarifications of actions prohibited by the existing rules. Any posts violating these ordinances will be removed, and possibly banned at the mods discretion. This post will be periodically updated to reflect new ordinances, or to remove old ones.

Any mention of, depiction of, video, audio, or image (including memes) of, or related to, the individual known as Adam Tahir (more commonly known as Haz Al-Din), including associated projects such as the media collective "Infrared", or the US-based "American Communist Party" founded in 2024, etc. are BANNED.
2. No non O.C. Wojaks, Pepes, or Groypers. Any Wojaks, pepes, groypers, etc. which are not /leftypol/ original content are considered spam.Superseded by rule 15 on 2025-04-20

This thread is only for feedback related to technical issues (bug reports, suggestions).

We are currently working on improvements to the site, subject to the need of the tech team to sleep and go to their day jobs. If you need more immediate feedback please join the matrix room[s] and ask around. Feel free to leave comments, concerns, and suggestions about the tech side of the site here and we will try to get to it as soon as possible

I want to request a few flags to be added.
- LEFTYPOL Rodina flag
- /ref/ Tania flags
- /siberia/ Grace flag
- OPTIONAL /GET/ Rodina flag
Flags in the thread:
(The current Alunya flag is perfect, btw, so I vote to keep the current Alunya flag).

Lack of moderation is driving me crazy, look at all this shit.
WTF is going on with our moderation ATM? Just a couple of examples of the utter shit no self-respecting janny would have left up a few years ago:

Most of this is just shit bait by bad-actors sliding or straight up has nothing to do with the left posted by clearly special needs tourists.
I'm making this here because i already beg them to moderate the site there regularly and they will just simply refuse to read /meta/. All i am asking for is the mods to do the job they are here to do and keep the site in a half-decent state, If they are unwilling to do this why are they mods here in the first place? Jannitorial team should not be some power nonsense for your private chats, if you don't want to do the job then leave.

Last time I asked for this nobody seemed to care, but now there has been discussion about it in the thread. There is an appetite for it, so I think you should make one. I know at least one person who would come back to the site if there was a space like that. We could reach an entirely new audience like the kind of hexbear leftoids, leftypol has a bad reputation among a lot of socialists and a board like this would change that perception. I seriously think it would get more people to join the website then you think. But even if it doesn't the people here want it.

I don't have any IT skills so I can't really help and I think I'm too busy to moderate anything rn but I could at least make some threads at the start to liven the place up a bit. Advertise it on bluesky or lemmygrad or hexbear or however the reddit clone works and also maybe tumblr or something.

Thesis: Anonymity plus free speech is revolutionary because it allows dialectics without ego. It allows people to advance mistaken positions, get corrected by the masses, change their mind, and adopt a new position without a transitional period of shame or remorse.

Antithesis: Anonymity plus free speech is reactionary. It allows mobs of backwards people to swamp young and impressionable minds by advancing simple, easily repeated, bigoted and chauvinist narratives.

Synthesis: Anonymity with a strong well-read ideologically committed modocracy allows dialectics without ego… as long as you ban namefags and get rid of flags.

Word Filters proposals:

middle class > lumpenbourgoise
working class > petit proletariat

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

When I posted this over the weekend, it got deleted instantly. Leftypolcels have no problems calling Christianity and Islam fascist, so why is Judaism getting special treatment? If we consider Zionism a form of fascism and imperialism, then Zionists make up the major percentage of Jews worldwide in a way Evangelicals and Wahhabis don't for Christianity and Islam.

"I'm always worried to talk openly about this, because it's been drummed into most Americans that we can't talk about Jewish supremacy out of some sense of collective guilt (especially if you're Middle Eastern, even though we had nothing to do with the Nazi Holocaust). But of the three Abrahamic religions, Judaism is the only one that has an ethnoreligious element that has now spilled over into ethnoreligious supremacy. Jewish supremacists like Elie Weisel who survived the Nazi Holocaust, but still endorsed genocide against Palestinians weren't against the Holocaust because genocide is bad, they were against it because 1) It happened to them, and 2) They weren't the ones doing it."

For non-prudential, fully-hinged and dialectically reasonable purposes, I propose we have a sfw siberia and a nsfw siberia, for better facilitation of sillyposting of the sweet and spicy veriety.
- a general hangout for users visiting the site while at work/school that isn't an overboard.
- a place where threads for nsfw topics that aren't popular enough to keep up with the bumprate of /siberia/ but still worth exptensive discussion could last longer.
- we could give the nsfw board a funny name
