What actually prompted the soyjak ban? Was it really just the "bussiness proposal" thread? Popular demand? The soy machine from 2020? Or was it just mods powertripping?(Derailed, question answered)

 No.25593

Wojaks are banned, leftypol has fallen.

 No.25594

There's a whole board for this, you know.

 No.25595

I actually had asked for it a few times suggesting these memes stagnate memes and no one really likes them anyway

 No.25596

it's a protectionist measure that aims to create an arms race unique to leftypol for creating our own memes to rival peepee and soyjaks. As a result of this arms race we now have glegle, wawa, poope and blood clot, but we're still pretty much in our rough baroque era in my opinion, we have yet to make a breakthrough in original meme quality

 No.25597

It was just a fun idea to shake things up a little.

i don't care. soyjaks and frogs were attached to the most annoying and inane posts (mine) so i don't mind

really don't see why we need a next big meme in the first place, we can have memes without having one centralized picture to create weird variants of. you'd just be recreating the conditions for making it a soyjak again

Wojak is a proletarian meme that was corrupted into a petty-bourgeois form (soyjak) by reactionaries.

 No.25602

>>25592
The boymoder soyjaks were causing one of the trans girls on the mod team (moody) a lot of dysphoria, which triggered a wider discussion about the overall reactionary nature of 'jaks among the moderators. This discussion resulted in a vote to ban soyjaks and other 4chan memes, which obviously passed.

I believe it is for the best after finding out about the soyjak wiki. Soyjaks clearly induce some kind of mental illness onto the people that post them.

 No.25627

Not a mod and I don't care about their reasons but it was still a good idea. Pepe (and also regular Wojak) is an overused meme that killed unique reaction images on IBs. Get something new and by that I don't mean another fucking mascot.

And I don't think soyjaks need any spelled out reason.

It was floated by a few anons, put onto a vote by the mod team, passed and was implemented. Of course it would be relatively unenforceable without the work of anons tirelessly reporting them, so there is a degree of popular will behind it (or at least, popular hatred of soy and pepe).

 No.25668

The reason annoying fags get the idea their opinion is part of the majority when it comes to complaining about moderation is that pretty much nobody makes meta threads to say good things.

Anyway, fuck Wojak, fuck Pepe and fuck 4ch*n cultocargoing.

That has no real explanatory power. It's not that they act like that and then say suddenly: Hey I am a lot of people, there's like five of us.

Unironic liberalism
Twitterfags and redditors claimed that soyjaks are somehow fascist because they’re a popular meme on 4chan frequently used to mock liberals, since the mods and plenty of users secretly identify with woke liberals they supported the ban

>>25769
I don't think your assessment is wrong nevertheless you're very liable to eat a ban for soyjacking in the wrong boards in cuckchan.

 No.25775

>>25592
The funny thing was their actual rational which they came up with post fact to justify their banning of people who soyjacked them after they posted soy, is that they somehow think getting rid of soyjacks etc is going to lead to the production of other, better memes.

It is just laughably ignorant. "beatings will continue until morale improves"

Imagine being at party, and the host is like "i know what will make things fun, if I kick everybody out who makes cheap jokes, this will certainly lead to a more fun party atmosphere"

They have literally no idea how people work. Not that it matters, because as has been said time and again, they aren't actually interested in creativity, humour, the board developing an organic culture, people having fun, or any of that stuff. They are just interested in wrapping bubble around themselves inside their very insular fiefdom.

Can they point to any improvements in posting quality or meme quality since the bans? Obviously not, no such thing exists.

They have a completely arbitrary idea of what works. Frankly, the only way you can read the current mod team, is that, if they do have any plan or intention to what they are doing, they plan is to drive people away.

There are by the way, several mods who have expressly tried to do this. They tried to deliberately drive away britpol leninhat, for example, along with some other posters.

Britpol leninhat was antivax and other things. According to the mods trying to drive him away, this was "skitzo" despite it being a huge cultural phenomenon, and based fundamentally in a distrust of large pharmaceutical companies.

Scepticism of vaccines is in fact very common in left wing, particularly para political literature. Actually, it is an opinion that is quite keeping with leftist thought in general, despite the fact I am not personally anti vax, although I am very soft sceptic.

When it boils down to it, they generally enforce a moderation policy that appeals only to unread, low info, liberal normies, there is basically nothing radical or left wing about it.

There is less and less reason to post here. Less and less of interest.

queue the

>heh it would be better if you stopped posting heh


which is precisely the mentality that leads to the dead board we see, and they know this, yet they continue, this is what we are dealing with.

When mods made that thread asking for people's opinions on banning 4chan memes, I saw little agreement on it. However, the ban was approved. This means that ultimately the mods can decide anything they want regardless of whether the /leftypol/ community agrees or not. The mods simply have their own agenda and there is nothing we can do about it.

It's not about art merit, it's about the active detriment that mindset has to a forum where people want to have serious discussions and share things they enjoy freely without having 4chan/reddit consensus enforced by the same handful of ad hom jpegs spammed ad nauseum.

We're both engaging in judging memes by certain standards. Yours was that it's a normalfag thing therefore it's le good and I disproved that soyjak in particular fits this.

 No.25834

>>25825
The majority of the site is low quality shit posting, there is very little serious discussion and what serious discussion there is has become less and less since the moderation adopted this attitude.

>>25827
Nothing is forced on anybody, you are perfectly free and able to disagree with the arguments presented. The existence of somebody else memeing does not stop you from speaking. If it’s spam, it’s spam, that’s different. It’s not always spam.

Also see above, serious discussion used to happen before you adopted this attitude, now, less and less of it happens. Why? Because people want fun with their serious discussions. The site is not a university lecture or seminar, far, far from it. You believe you can increase quality by arbitrarily banning things according to your tastes. Now, this might be true, assuming that you’re tastes were good, but, we cannot assume that, and in fact there is ample evidence to the contrary. What evidence? The quality of the board right now is as you made it according to your tastes, the mods have adopted this posture for years now, and the quality is low, there is nobody else to blame, they are in control and always have been, it is their fault. They have the board they have been pushing for, this is it, well done.

>>25829
I have standards sure, the difference is, I’m not enforcing mine by getting rid of political content.

You say all of this above, it’s about serious discussion blah blah, and yet dog porn is allowed on the board.
