>>14426 (Not that mod) I think this touches on an idea that maybe generals shouldn't be 'everything (USA|PRC) goes in here'. For things like mainstream politics news (Biden did a thing, AOC said words) or happenings (ten Afghan threads) then yes, a general becomes good at preventing a flood of crap, but there are other events and topics that may warrant an independent thread.
But where is that damn line? I don't know. And right now it's kind of a rapid decision process; you shouldn't just merge it once it's 50 posts deep so there's pressure to make fast decisions on those borderline threads.

>>14418 It might be better instead of sharing a stream key among many people to have an official twitch channel with very few operators and make use of the hosting features to share the channels of other users, but sorting out how to do that kind of thing warrants a much more in depth discussion snd community feedback.

If there's a non-public way to manage it (e.g. a Matrix/element chat room, or does twitch have DMs?) then that would work too. Worst case, reset the streamkey and reshare it.

>>14435 Right, that's what I'm saying. If there's an official Twitch instead of consolidating people using one official channel, ise that channel to promote affiliated channels or just people that the userbase likes. There are other smalltime leftist twitch streamers and promoting them and interacting with them can bring more attention to the site. Better use of the social network than a single channel that doesn't connect as much to others. Connectivity is a bog deal to the algorithms and to people's eyeballs.

The best way to recruit is going to be raids. That's how imageboards grow. Anons aren't going to get involved in elaborate plans that requires any effort on their part. At best you will get a small group that falls apart in a week. You need simple plans that are zero effort and lets the autists here spam their shitty memes. You have to lean into the strengths of imageboards.

>>14444 At the end of the day, the real issues are:
>having dedicated 'let's raid [x] threads' that validate /pol/s paranoia >threads that are obviously false flags made by /pol/ for /pol/ The only reason its a big issue is that our userbase is relatively small (big for an English altboard, but not comparable to a board that averages (not peak, average, and
super duper overrepresented by burgers) 5,000 PPH. There's already a constant baseline of raids and complaints about post quality, so it makes sense for the site not to officially encourage a /leftypol/ raid, at least at this point in time.
But you can shitpost on /pol/ regardless of what I say. I ain't your momma. We already had a couple of former users try to bait /pol/ by false flagging as leftypol.org so it will probably be fine if you do it 4reels. Sage !61KGLATVW. 2021-10-30 (Sat) 22:46:07 No. 14446

Appealing to disaffection towards liberalism is a better strategy than galvanizing hatred toward the right. This is true as a pitch for this site as it is a general approach in current politics. Liberalism is the first obstruction that must be removed to consolidate the left. The whole pitch needs to be the emphasis on political INcorrectness. There is a demand . Many leftists find all this talk of safe spaces and safe words and racialist identity politics distasteful and counterproductive , i.e "your argument is invalid because you're white!" or "speaking as a non-binary demikin double espresso shot mocha late". 4chan /pol/ has been able to tap into this widespread disaffection albeit from the reactionary side, but they had the advantage of piggybacking off the most trafficked chan in the anglosphere and arguably the world. And much to its detriment that board has influenced world affairs indirectly through its memetic activities. There's no reason this board couldn't also have such a detrimental effect, should we work towards it and prudent decisions made.

But there is a point where /pol/ 'da jews' becomes an instant derail and the site can't fucking resist low-tier bait and will let any thread get derailed over it.
So at what point does controversial reactionary takes become incompatible with a reasonable quality standard?
And again, there are politically incorrect leftist stances which are allowed, but the above is something worth thinking about. Our ban on idpol tends to omit many, but I suppose removing idpol rules is off the table as it's a core principle of the site.

>>14466 it varies day-to-day but its usually like roundabout 400 IPs to roundabout 600, with slumps and highs that mostly correlate to irl happenings or lack thereof. we don't have any way to look at the density of posts distributed through different threads but most of it is concentrated in cyclicals, which is why its not as reflective on the front page. using the overboard also usually shows decent health with the alt-boards, usually there being like 5-10 decently active threads (relative to alt-board standards) which vary on the alt-board subject.
a good example being star wars and avatar being big threads cause of the Mandalorian and the netflix release of the avatar series leading them to having a few pretty good threads, activity and quality wise, which have now gone into a lull without new content. there are a few which are slower overall but really consistent (like the HEMA thread with like 4 or 5 dedicated anons) but they are there and alive. they cater to niche audiences to which activity changes relative to content available a lot of the time, its not really the kind of activity which is easily reflected in PPH stats. but the goal of alt-boards is more fostering communities that PPH to begin with cause its just always a good idea to diversify a little bit, and relative to their predecessors on 8chan they are a lot more active than before, which is generally seen as a pretty good win.

>>14465 Stop conflating IP addresses with people.
Many users have constantly changing dynamic IP addresses due to ISPs cycling them. Many users are on the same IP address. It's a loose indicator.
>>14467 >you never explained how IPs and posts are counted, so the numbers are meaningless A post is counted when a user
makes a post .
You can also count/average this yourself by getting ([last current post number] minus [post made [x] hours ago] divided by [x] hours).
IP count is the number of unique IP addresses that
made posts within the given timeframe. An important note is that the Total column used to just sum the counts on each board, so if 127.3.2.1 posted on both /leftypol/ and /hobby/, it used to count as 2 in Total. Now it counts as 1.
>>14469 Which, if they're online for an average of one hour, would be 240-720 per day.

>>14470 >Many users have constantly changing dynamic IP addresses due to ISPs cycling them. Many users are on the same IP address. It's a loose indicator. Many users also use the TOR node, which only counts as 1 IP, or end up having a shared local IP. We don't just use IP, we also look at PPH and other more obscure measurements as well to try and keep a general idea of overall board health.
Though, this topic is divergent from the main thread one, so I'll just leave it at that.
