Can Tor image posting be restored for /siberia/ now?

>>32775>The majority of spam comes from proxies outside Tordoubt it, proof? They could just waste the network's bandwidth away like leeches just for spam or posting illegal crimes, leftypol is doing wonders on preserving bandwidth for the Tor network for those who need it better than for those who post illegal crimes or spam to overwhelm and slow down the entire network and potentially DOS attack many Tor relays
(guards, bridges, middles, exits) at the same time out of existence. It's not about just leftypol, it's about the network itself too.
Tor should be allowed but measures should be taken to avoid spam, for the sake of the network, which I'm sure none of you actually care about the network itself even though you use it everyday.
oh btw, if you like to use Tor so much, consider hosting a Tor relay to make the network faster pls

No.32785
>>32777>why not pretend like it's IRCBecause we have an IRC chat- this is an image-board, sir.
>doubt it, proof? Ctrl+f the website for "Glownonymous" or "Glowie". You'll find spam, sure, but not as much from un-glow tagged posters. A prime example would be the /pol fag who posts with that retarded Anime picture, who uses proxies outside the Tor network.
>Leftypol bans Tor spam, less of an impact on Tor bandwidth.Sure, I guess? At a fractional capacity. This is like plugging one hole in a porous and sinking ship. Besides, we aren't outright banning Tor IPs, Tor users can still view, but not post, which still transmits a shitton of bandwidth. Why don't we ban all users from posting, so to better allocate resources to the Tor network.
By disallowing Tor users to post, you're preventing good meaning people from sharing information and data. It's a disservice to the community.
>Tor should be allowed but measures should be taken to avoid spam, for the sake of the network, which I'm sure none of you actually care about the network itself even though you use it everyday.>oh btw, if you like to use Tor so much, consider hosting a Tor relay to make the network faster plsBruh. This is bad faith, you're just strawmanning. I'm sorry you had a bad run-in with someone that abused the Tor network, but you can't let emotion dictate your line of thought. I do run a Tor relay, via a 2012 asus-pc on Arch. No need for this.

>>32784>why tf isn't LGBT its own boardone of the organizing principles of this site is opposition to identity politics. if you don't like that, i suggest you go elsewhere.
>apparently queer folk existing isn't political enough to be on the main board despite the fact there are several country exclusive main boards thereyes. being a member of an identity group is not in itself political. discussion of national politics in a world dominated by nation states is, and bear with me here, political. the main point of national generals is really to keep burgerpol from drowning out everything else.
>It's pathetic how the right-wing infested board gives us better representation a space to be among our own but the supposedly leftist one doesn'tif "representation" and being among your "own kind" is so valuable to you, then why don't you just go to the place that you say gives you that? problem solved.

No.32805
>>32792>being neglected to an obscure thread What the hell does this mean? This sounds like you're demanding to be given specific attention, that's not how this site works… that's not how ANY imageboard works.
The primary reason why the general is on /siberia/ is because it mostly consists of non-political & low effort discussions. Just like the relationship general. It serves the purpose of being a space for people to casually talk about it. Giving it a specific political focus IS identity politics and INEVITABLY leads to bad-faith gaslighting rhetoric of "So much for the tolerant left". Additionally, if a general board on siberia is "neglect" and "containment" then how would a board be any different? And as other people have pointed out, the examples of /lgbt/ boards on other sites degrade into toxic shitflinging. If you want such an environment go ahead, but don't complain about the inevitable /pol/ raids, at least /siberia/ will be less of a chinlet target.
Politics regarding individual groups exist, and they are seen through the lens of objective, material analysis, rather than emotional reflex-responses, that's what makes leftypol and communists in general different from radical liberals. In this case, the specific instances should be posted and discussed in already-existing, relevant threads. So, for example, racial politics in the US should be discussed on /usapol/, rather than the China General.
Finally it's a fact that we're a small site. At most 1000 different users, and never all at the same time. Majority aren't gay or otherwise, ergo there's not a sufficient number of people to merit an entire board. The MUCH broader topics of anime, hobbies, weapons, general education etc. are slow as is.
