/leftypol/ is just /siberia/ now. A general purpose random/b board for retard stoners to post the first thought they had in their head that day.
How did we get here? How do we improve it?
For one i propose we bring back character limits in OPs and demand the jannies actually do their job in cleaning up the main board, pushing things to /siberia/, generals, deleting them and actively banning people who make such threads, as let's be real, it's probably the same two or three people who hang out in the Matrix with the jannies and think due to their bubble it's actually good content.
examples of the absolute trash you people are apparently pushing as good content:

The Jannies are very resolutely refusing to take action or acknowledge they have a problem, what do we do?
>>37076Did, it will be ignored.
It's posted here because the fact they will delete this within 15 minutes but leave every piece of linked dogshit OP's up is a vivid way of illustrating the point, anon.
>>37075The queers who run this site are butthurt over the alt media environment becoming dominated by rightoids due to their own abdication of the responsibility to write about anti-imperialism. They have become the Claighton (age 12): "Fuck the global south!" meme because they were beaten to the punch.
The only source of traffic they have apart from their own little outpost of the Hasan Piker Discord is the two war threads, where they seethe at people for not howling with anger at everything Iran and Russia do or do not do.
So, they make their little bait threads and whine about board quality and do psyops nobody cares about.
Cock in hand.
Akways drunk.
Single mom.
>>37079???
is the guy who makes all these two sentence blog-ops the same autistic neet guy who was spamming the 'anti-campist' threads here for months?
>>37084>Genuine question do people like this glossy anime aesthetic?No anon. do you unironically not see the trend of every OP that has this shit tier high-school amateur artist anime style?
It probably goes something like this: write two sentence bait -> find shit anime pic -> make post -> disregard the thread and laugh and high five with the jannies in the matrix about how 'based' and 'gemmy' you are for ?????? making the site actively worse.
>>37086Posted furious word salad proving my point again award ✅
I take no responsibility for or pleasure in your inevitable transhumanist suicide. I never left.
>>37090>But generals were cancerCome on anon you know this is a retard wrecker take.
Look how much worse the site has gotten, and many of us pointed out it's what would happen when we were pseudo-consulted on the issue.
It's okay to admit you were wrong, sometimes.
>>37091This site only got worse because the userbase here is retarded and unable to achieve actual discussion.
Personally i am happy for USApol be uncycled and ungeneralized so alot of interesting threads about american political movements or the labor movement wont be contained to schizophrenic left-trumpist or twitter screencaps from trump.
What jannies should do is send the irrelevant threads like the down syndrome adoption threads and enforce quality standards.
And yes if we go back to generals then have fun with anticampist #73 or leftcom thread #8 useless theory threads which i personally hated
>>37091 >>37099>What's the point of this site? Why don't you post on nukechan which is the real leftypol?For me, the Palestine General. It's what brought me back and keeps me here currently. It makes me depressed seeing the state of the rest of the board, despite the fact i think we keep a fairly decent quality General there.
> Last time I posted on the old place I got a month-long ban merely for agreeing with a post critiquing bad moderation.It do be like that, i fully expect to be banned for this OP, tbh. i get bans whenever i call out the jannies blatant woman hating and misogyny, too.
>>37102>comes to bitch about it<but he still didn't delete themPeak jannie shit.
This is why you are being criticised exactly.
blah blah blah blah blah charlimit Shut the fuck up.
/leftypol/ has never been a gentrified board. Go through the web archives of the catalog page until you can find this mythical /leftypol/ you envision, and share a link with us when you find it.
>and demand the jannies actually do their job in cleaning up the main board, pushing things to /siberia/
I've seen your constant shitposting, posting in every thread you don't like to yell "go to /siberia/". Most of them should not be put there. You have expectations incompatible with the very concept of the Leftist Politically Incorrect board. If anything, too much political content is posted to /siberia/, resulting in fragmentation and stagnation.
You are antagonistic to this site. Every time I see you whining in a thread about how le sage and siberia, I will bump it.
So, to answer the question:
> what do we do?
You should go to a site which has the quality you expect; a site that isn't /leftypol/. Maybe go to /edu/, maybe explore anarchist communities, maybe breath some life into nukechan, but you clearly aren't interested in /leftypol/.
>>37099>>37101>Why don't you post on nukechan which is the real leftypol?Nukechan is
not 'the real leftypol'. We intentionally did not create a /leftypol/ board, we set new default themes, we made these decisions to emphasize that we are not a /leftypol/ clone. We're a socialist imageboard too and we have a lot of shared users and crossover, it's no coincidence, but the design and direction is very different. Both address different wants.
—
/leftypol/ was made in 2014 on 8ch as "/pol/ but left". There's only so much that can foundation be reformed until contradictions appear (as we've seen). At the end of the day, if that's not the community you want, you have to put a different sign on your front door. And so, Nukechan has no /leftypol/ and no si/b/eria, those boards live happily on leftypol.org and leftychan.
>>37106sounds like you got butthurt and made your own website that has as many posts on its whole existence as leftypol gets in a few hours.
GL!
>>37108Might as well ask, what made space_ communism good?
The 2020 election?>>37109>admin makes post pointing out they're trying not to be leftypol<haha your e just mad youre slower than leftypol!l.mao average /pol/ literacy
>>37112>>37115I don't think you can do praxis via an anonymous imageboard that isn't localised. It has threads for a reading group, creating a zine, art requests and sharing examples of fascist posts online. Don't get me wrong, they're all valid and worthwhile threads to have, but that's not any more praxis than what happens on /leftypol/.
That being said, nukechan is a place you can tell tryhards to fuck off to when they start whining about how unserious /leftypol/ - "left-wing politically uncorrect" is, somewhere they can pretend like internet politics is srs bizniss without being accused of being pretentious or deluded, so it's something I think we should fully support.
>>37120>where can i sign up to be a voting member of nukechan?The fact you're asking made me realize the little announcement notice isn't good enough. Where would you expect to find that info? Sticky? FAQ?
I should also add some more information to this page about how the user union is organized.
https://nukechan.net/union.html>Running a 'democratic' image board is really easy when you have no users.On the other hand, it's also a problem. Originally we had a focus on checks and balances, like making the staff unable to vote once there were enough members, forced re-elections of staff, you need enough active members who are engaged to participate. Otherwise, it's just idealistic masturbatory overhead. So most motions are really just calls for feedback with one or two people saying yes, beyond the really critical stuff which has a proper vote.
>Whos running it exactly?I am the server owner and the sole tech staff member (other devs like Zer0 have given helpful tech contributions, but they don't have sysadmin access). The plan is to separate these roles later.
>>37112Shit, I'd like it if we were still a READ BOOKS site. When was the last time you saw a PDF uploaded?
>large-ass video dumpsAs much as I loved them, I also hated how hard it was to go back and find something you liked in the webm/OC threads
I do miss the spicy threads. Please President Build-Up-Country bring back BLM
