How to get more people into the site? Anonymous 2021-09-12 (Sun) 08:42:18 No. 11991 [View All]
Reposting here because no one ever reads meta and because sage ruined the thread, sorry mods I think that we can all agree that we need more people, more posters spanning from all the left positions, let's go past the "much PPH" meaningless debate, we barely have any effortposters now, much less drawfags and other kind of talented people, the split was a catastrophe in terms of users and we have not recovered yet. A small imageboard may be good for very niche hobbies and things like that, but for leftism it's the absolute opposite,our ideology is supposed to appeal to the vast majority of people that composes the working class, we should strive to be an Imageboard for the masses, the more people the better (leftists ofc),we used to have a very large potential userbase on 8chan but that's gone. I think we should start promoting the board, in youtube, discockrd, hell even on reddit Twitter and Facebook, there's literal thousands of people that are members of communist and socialist parties around the world, hundreds of unions and workers organizations etc, and their input could be very valuable, hell maybe we can get some Chinese people in here, or people from the Japanese communist party etc. I think that everyone should do their part in your social circles and social media you frequent the most, casually mention leftypol if you have leftist friends, mention leftypol in breadtube videos, if you follow communist or socialist party accounts on twittee or Facebook invite them to come etc, if you speak more than one language the better, if you have the means to get in touch with people from China or Japan or you know someone who knows the language maybe we can try to get some people from those countries here, along with people from Arab countries, Africa etc, that would be awesome. Leftypol should stop appealing to its own userbase and reach out for people, just like the bolsheviks went out to the factories to garner support for the revolution and just how the CCP talked with the peasants to fight against the nationalists, we should do the same. We have a world to win!

Reposting from the internet shit thread.
COMRADES This video was recommended to me just now.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_zZiEr4psj8 It has 450 views now, but their channel has videos with much more views. The video is also good.
The guy has 3 Patreon supporters. It would be a great channel to advertise Leftypol.
So, call to action comrades:
If you have a throwaway account, consider advertising leftypol in the comments.
If you spare some bucks, consider getting the Patreon to advertise Leftypol. The cheapest option is 4.5 USD and the advertising is the same as the highest paid one.

Also how leftypol.org is exclusively by leftists & for leftists, but /leftypol/ once was on 8ch with other boards and politics.

Here's a truly controversial take. Detente with the Infraredfags. There are probably thousands of them now, while this board every year can't stop with the self sabotage. They literally have influence on the CPUSA nowadays. Then transform this place so that it is focused on high quality Left posts, or otherwise the worst tendencies of the culture of imageboards will come and wreck it, over and over again.

Our philosophy should appeal to the vast majority of people who make up the working class; the more people the better (leftists of course). I believe we should begin promoting the board; there are literally hundreds of people who are members of communist and socialist parties on youtube, discockrd, and even reddit, Twitter, and Facebook.
>>12082 A board for e-celebs in general might be reasonable, though. Especially if there's a concerted effort to appeal to the zoomers. It would also be good if we got back to the days of, like, old youtube where there was actually active discourse happening.

It is not a substitute for really going outdoors and discussing leftism with people. It isn't a magic bullet or a master key to getting into what you consider "internet activism." This is a simple message board where people debate various topics.

>>12854 The things that would genuinely help the site expand would be unappealing to most users. Allowing user boards and encouraging e-celebrities to create their own boards only to discuss that content creator's videos/takes is nonsense. Any of those ideas will be dismissed as too much labour, resulting in a perpetual September scenario in which normies and radlibs dominate the site, e.g.

>>13313 >proof? Script based on Hotwheel's GET watcher.
Scrapes each of the top 20 8chan boards once a day (), compares the current post number with the one stored from the same time yesterday to calculate total posts since then.
Here are stats from the last 7 days. I haven't checked the front page but I'd assume it would support this trend:
>/qresearch/ + /midnightriders/ + /qrb/ 7405 = 7387+0+371
8034 = 7150+435+449
7207 = 6559+184+464
9592 = 9188+0+404
6765 = 6541+0+224
6838 = 6177+383+278
7405 = 6868+228+309
>divided by total sum of top 20 7405 / 8204 = 0.9026…
8034 / 8529 = 0.9420…
7207 / 7795 = 0.9246…
9592 / 10726 = 0.8943…
6765 / 7209 = 0.9384…
6838 / 7691 = 0.8891…
7405 / 7984 = 0.9275…
So yeah, basically 90% of the site traffic is Q boards. Which isn't too surprising as most smaller imageboards have an exponential distribution of traffic on boards, with 1 or 2 super large ones and the rest being relatively slow. But 90% is excessive given its historical popularity for a wide variety of topics. Even /leftypol/ is more like 75% of traffic (add /siberia/ and it's 92%).

Do take into account that in August (that month is bad for 8ch) Someone fucked all the images and nuked dozens of boards so a lot of content that remains is /pol/shit… that being said almost nobody is posting there right now. leftypol.org could take it by storm.

The main /qresearch/ board? Probably not. They still have about 7000 posts per day, while Leftypol in total has about 2250 posts per day, and most people wouldn't be bothered anyway.
That said, I haven't looked into they types of posts, as last time I remembered it was very fast-pace-low-effort, similar to a /b/ board.

>>13332 >the story Oh it's fairly simple, Ron (Codemonkey) abandoned 8kun in July (around the time his social media got blocked by site hosts) to pursue some bullshit internet legal career. Jim dropped 8kun roughly 2 weeks ago to also pursue some internet bill of rights. In betqeen this some hackers broke into the servers and nuked images and made posting impossible for days. The images are still gone despite Jim's claim of restoration, instead they are replaced with Gadsden flags of 8kun.
