I am resigning as a developer, sysop and moderator of Leftypol.

I'll keep the OP short, blog post inside. There are a few reasons, the main one is I am completely demotivated to prolong the decline of this site. There is a major contradiction between much of the mod team and /leftypol/. My time is better spent elsewhere.

I have no interest in returning until these contradictions are resolved. Resolving them would require harsh and uncomfortable decisions by people unlikely to make them, so I have no confidence it will happen.

Sorry to all the users who had no real power to prevent this. It's not your fault.1

Also, just to reiterate, moderating leftypol should not be even remotely difficult. You just need to ban 3 things:
>Illegal content
>Actual spam
>Obvious /pol/ invasions

Everything else can be left alone and, if it lowers board quality, have some bare minimum faith in the users that they can deal with it themselves.

>say they will support a policy just to hear people complain
I'm curious about this one. I've always been honest, maybe held back a little too much.
Also would you say you slipped into a cultish devotion to incorrectness rejecting correctness? Just the vibes I am getting from these first three posts. Just asking questions here.
>openly hostile to feedback
I maintain this is me holding back. I can either take you seriously or not. But being dishonest is just not me.
>>26088
>If that time had been spent making leftychan a site with better content and better community, it could have been thriving by now
Or if there wasn't all these ridiculous issues (mentally and structurally) it would be good.
Do you believe in non-determinism?
I don't know if I need to explain it in detail. You start with pretty much correctly laying out the make-up of the site (which continues after but in the middle there is this weird statement). So in what world could it ever have had a good community?
>leftypol.org's shadow
In the psychoanalytic sense?
>>26117
This post, I suppose, makes sense if you are paranoid but in the wrong direction.
>someone[s?] apparently told pasquale to stop constantly being an outright troll on /meta/
Sorry, that didn't work out.

>The fact that both you and woobly say you didnt know disco had any gripes is exactly the problem.
I've made the comment that I think disco is a woman to several people at this point. Make of that what you will (unlike me, most people are also not that great at the whole Mentalist [remember that show] act)
I could go on but I'm bored now and it would just be rude and impolite.

Let me ask in seriousness why you have no answers OP. I have answers to everything, you might not like them but I have them. So where's the problem? Standing by something isn't a problem. At a certain point you will get into a situation where you think "might as well". Or maybe not, maybe it never happens for some people.

Yeah, obviously too late for me to change it now. I also didn't realize this theme has black spoilers on black bg… vichan is just a poorly-designed mess all the way down.

There's nothing confused about it.
Clear, concrete, substantiated problems have been repeatedly listed and noticed by a variety of users and even demonstrated ITT.
Likely causes have been diagnosed.
Solutions have been put forward.
Nothing has changed.

Even extremely basic communication problems with easy and safe solutions, like avoiding bad ban reasons, are lost on half the staff. The bottom line is, it is now crystal clear that the core staff just don't give a fuck.

Disco, take a lesson from history and get that you are lunacharsky encarnate, a person who made this place special but was too afraid to speak out when it mattered. It isn’t all your fault, but some of the blame is in your hands. This is why differences of opinion need to be expressed but collective action should be taken in regards to running this website, it would have streamlined a lot of moderation decisions and would have made drama less common. It would have led to the
Leftypol of 2020 to be back. Oh well, your sexy ass tried and did a good job for years.

>While /leftypol/ was always dominated by a broad range of socialist and anarchist tendencies, it was also frequented by the larger 8chan userbase. It was common to see succdems, lolberts, burgerbrains, brownpants, blacksharts and everyone in-between and around. There were even notsocs who declared their home to be /leftypol/ because we could actually hold an intelligent conversation, unlike their comrades on /pol/.
Yeah lets ban literally everyone except /pol/ shills deliberately sabotaging our site. Good riddance fucking retard.

After some violent thoughts about this guy its safe to say /leftypol/ will be much better without you.
