Recently I started visiting /lgbt/ again, and the experience made me appreciate leftypols slower posting. Imageboards are just not made for large userbase, it turns into a cacophony. For all the reddits faults, upvote system or some other way of ordering and managing posts is needed when the site is being flooded by thousands.
Still, would appreciate if we could up our average active IP count to around 100.

 No.29962

We need to go to communities where we generally like the people and invite them to post here. Disc*rd has primarily but also other media have sucked entirely the discourse online. Many have never used an imageboard in their lives. We need to grow constantly or we'll die. Further, we can't depend on anyone. It needs to be decentralized and we need to encourage others here to shill leftypol in other spaces.

This website has been bleeding numbers since like 2022. I quit last year because I grew really tired of the moderation, having received several arbitrary bans. I don't come here a lot anymore but I still enjoy reading effortposts and making them as well from time to time, because I know at least a couple people will appreciate them.

NTA, but outside of numerous IP range bans I got caught at, I was banned at separate occasions for incelposting, racism and homophobia, but for stuff far milder than shit that gets posted on this site on daily basis, its just what mood is the mod at the time.
On the other hand, misogyny and sexual harassment is given a free pass (except occasionally it isnt when mods are in ban-happy mood).

Guessing a lot of people left when leftypol not only went from being aggressively pro-tank/anti-anarchist to also embracing right wing capitalist militarism while still rejecting anything to the left of Stalin

Really put it all in perspective, at least for me, to see that the only difference many anons here have compared to /pol/ is purely aesthetic and rhetorical

The activity is about what you'd expect. Lowering over the holidays and has been picking up again.

The site's user count, (if I remember correctly), only displayed ip count of the day and week.
Obviously still down, just that you're looking at the wrong measurements to compare the old site's success.

>I grew really tired of the moderation, having received several arbitrary bans.

Yeah that's annoying.
Got banned multiple times for range ban stuff, and had to either do a weird reset of my router so the mods see the ban as the false positive it was, or ask on the element.io chat.

Both posting on /meta/ no matter than ban; and bans being done through inconvenient amount of time, (long enough to stop raids but short enough for regular users who're not interested in going through the process of getting unbanned) – should both be adopted.


>>29960
Maybe they should try a system of being given a random id for when you enter a thread, that way you can filter out annoying posts, (with tor being 00000000).
Because otherwise mods have to be more active to do proper moderation, since otherwise they let stuff slip depending on how motivated they are to do what is volunteer work, (something that can be done by more mods I guess).


I'd suggest technical ideas, but I'm supposed to develop that stuff, and I'm still struggling to find a job so I have no time ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Infant rape. This is beyond child anything or under-18 anything. ofc children or teens can be sexual with each other. this is beyond everything.

I didnt think of the pic as either child-coded nor depicting non-consent. It definitelly should be spoiled though.

 No.30114

I really think you're overreacting to say it's 'infant coded' though.

Also people use your kind of logic to get their foot in the door, plenty of porn sites and banned art of any characters that are canonically under the age of 18 even if they're clearly beyond the age of sexual maturity. I believe in sexual freedom and I will continue to do so

What is the body shape of the character? What age of human is it suggestive of?

What is the expression on the face of the character?
>>30114
>I really think you're overreacting to say it's 'infant coded' though.
Again, What age of human is it suggestive of?
>foot in the door, age of sexual maturity
These are medieval lolbert talking points. You've prevaricated on infant rape imagery. We're not talking about under 18, this is infant images.
>I believe in sexual freedom and I will continue to do so
This isn't a sexual freedom issue. You seem to think depravity doesn't exist when it comes to sexuality.
>quit getting mad at cartoons
I shouldn't get mad at cartoons depicting infant rape? You're wrong. I've done wild bold shit in highly sexualized environments. Defending anything near images of infant rape is wrong.

 No.30126

>>30125
It's not a human. Who cares what it's 'suggestive of.' Even if it was a human I wouldn't care (morally speaking, I'm apathetic on whether it should be removed from the board in that situation), it's a piece of fictional artwork. Yes some people are attracted to infants or at least fictionalised ones, so what. It doesn't mean they're out there raping people

Why would a pokemon be suggestive of any kind of human, let alone specifically an age of human?
>>nor depicting non-consent.
>What is the expression on the face of the character?
Do you think that lolicon/shotacon would be more ok if it depicted "consent"? Because that would just be implying that children can consent (they can't). A depiction of sex with children is a depiction of rape regardless.

idk why you are calling this CP when you could just say it's zoophilia or something (which is illegal to depict in some places)

Would be funny or a possible good take if it wasn't for the massive centralization of the web.
Yeah (American) imageboards have problems – except that one kpop imageboard, from what I've seen it's all about kpop, and that's rad – but the other alternatives in communication is:
>Instagram
<Very rough in many areas you probably already understand
>Tiktok
<Alof of misinformation, constantly dealing with children, and constant sensitivity that you get overloaded (unironic pain) – all of this with a annoying algorithm.
>Facebook
<Have fun with dealing with your family members
>Twitter
<Filled with fascists, and liberals who will throw slander like >>30084 (should be a bannable offense. Literally defending pedophilia by calling those drawings cp).
>The rest is low user places
<Mix bag, alot of just fascist enabling, and a few that're nice
<Frustrating to push people into using.


>>30026
I never understand how people say that women are hornier than men, and then post stuff like this.

Still, a flair to hide porn threads would be nice.
I love my porn – you WILL post in my femboydom – but some people just don't want to see it.


>>30032
The sfw is a really underwhelming tool.
It's because of it that you have to spoil the images of the porn thread.

Surprisingly, getchan, which alot of people here hate since of their allowance of loli and stuff, hide the threads behind a mature toggle.
Of course it leads to the site using javascript, but still would be nice to have a feature like that here.

If I wasn't still struggle in getting a job, I'd learn the stuff and contribute to this site for once in my self (ignoring the shitposts and porn thread.

the centralization of the web will eventually result in its death. a system cannot survive in isolation. one day every centralized platform will eat itself alive like twitter as it becomes increasingly less feasible to offer these services for free (remember, capital demands infinite growth) and when this happens there will be nowhere left to go. the internet will be dead once and for all, and it will be a good thing, because it was a massive failure of an experiment.
