In order to further the production of native OC or other under-utilised memes, it is proposed to ban the following types of meme templates from /siberia/ (this may be extended to the entire board if the experiment is successful):
- Soyjak (excluding poljak)
- Pepe
- Wojak
- Chadface
- Stacy (etc)
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).

It's not impossible that a single soyjak meme could prevent an entire communist revolution in some country somewhere, if it received enough attention.
>>25286>anyone can do itBut are you doing it tho
I don't know who you think I am but seems you are mad
Good stay mad
>>25286Stimulus: The suggestion to read theory, because the post they responded to was being social media brained and it's author could use a theoretical basis to build off of.
Response: Chastising them for suggesting such a thing. Belittling the efforts of those who have done it, despite lack of implication that it's meant to be some impressive feat. Projection over methods of avoiding accomplishing said feat.
>>25293That can be solved with more grace art tho. Grace poster does lean toward commissioning mostly reaction images because they're commissioning them and feel like they need images with utility. I think if they weren't the main anon in charge of grace image making they'd use / commission a wider pallet and not just post reaction images. We could also perhaps encourage them to make a Neocities because I think that would be fun and bring traffic here from people curious about Alunya.
Also avatarfrens are normal on non-4chan Imageboards, you could just hide the royal colony thread, and Grace and Alunya are important for each other's enrichment and habitat.
>>25295lol the free screech crowd has no solidarity with anyone
I wrote somewhere reactionaries work against their own interest constantly and inadvertently.
And all the time I am reminded how correct I am
>>25498They seem to be enforcing a frog ban inconsistently. This post (me) had the image removed with the stated reason of "frogposting":
https://leftypol.org/siberia/res/391347.html#q391704Yet there are three other frogs in that thread uncensored (one of which I also posted). I don't know why, I see no significant difference in terms of originality (neither frog I posted was OP). I was surprised that they took the time to remove the frog but not the time to direct me to this thread or some other resource indicating the ban was real, not sure what those priorities indicate. I thought the whole concept of banning frogs was probably just somebody making up drama until the mods actually removed a frog (but only one for some reason that I still don't understand). I would've imagined that a change like this would be reflected in the rules page or at least a sticky thread in meta. I don't even care about frogs, but a rule change like this seems like it belongs on the rule page. I'm still confused about what contexts the frog is banned in, because as far as I know nobody has said. I'm not running the place though, I just post here sometimes.
