Since the drama over the Elon/h1b meltdown thread, I've noticed some people would like an opportunity to provide more generalized feedback. Most of the time mods would prefer to stay behind the scenes and not engage with the userbase due to the numerous bad faith actors, crossposters, and others who would take advantage of that. The downside is that moderation is often really opaque to users which is a frustrating experience.
Just note, this thread is for general site governance and policy, not specific ban decisions for example, which still goes to the relevant /meta/ thread or tech feedback, unless you really feel you can't get ahold of those people for whatever reason. I would like to continue the type of conversations that we've had in threads like
>>>/meta/37778I'm not terminally online and obviously I need to eat, sleep, go to work, and do other stuff so I won't always respond here instantly, but when I'm online I will try and respond to the queries in relatively timely manner.
Also note while I take suggestions, the website isn't a dictatorship, its a modocracy so any ideas I take from this thread still have to be put to a vote for 1-2 weeks or more before, for example, it can become an ordinance. Same for repealing ordinances or any other major decision. Normally, this sort of thing would go in /meta/ but some users have expressed that /meta/ doesn't get enough traffic for it to be truly representative of the userbase (not that anything ever could be).
This thread will be cyclical - also note that this is feedback to ME, specifically, not the whole mod team. For that use /meta/. Not to say they can't also chime in but it isn't a requirement.
TLDR: this is a suggestions/complaints + AMA thread.
>>38188>This whole narrative of chans aging out is bullshit. Pure bourgeois consciousness, where the myth of innovation is fetishised as technological change.Can you back up this opinion?
> It is not what happens to fora; their growth may stagnate, but the population is still replaced. More pointedly: when 4chan was young it was populated by people well over 20, with some teens in the mix (hence why they were so loathed).Yet, most of our political faux pas are usually people over twenty five.
>People who regurgitate that claim have no idea what they are talking about.Well, again, do you have evidemce for this claim?

By liberal standards I'm surely an evil totalitarian but I feel the need to distinguish myself from supposed socialists who want power over others just for the sake of it, because they aren't happy with their own lives, and actually think barracks communism would be a good thing. Of course the state should intervene to protect life in examples like COVID but it shouldn't attempt to control every aspect of culture and existence.
>>38437No, I am talking about unspoilered pornography being posted inside SFW threads. Its especially upsetting in light of comments from mods like
>>38179, about incels being banned. If I post a semi-ironic blackpill video it does get removed, but porn of some women being violently brutalized is perfectly ok.
>>38433 (me)
>>38435but barracks communism would actually be a good thing though, nechayeav was right!!!!
>>38448 (me)
Like Marx himself coined the term to criticise. Marx would be a libertarian socialist if that's how this worked, but nah he's just a socialist.
It's very common to see people get shit on for asking a stupid question, like with
https://leftypol.org/leftypol/res/2098551.htmlI'm of the opinion that these kinds of posts should still be responded to either in good faith, or not at all, and allowing people to reply with things like "fuck you retard SAGE!" is detrimental to the overall quality of the board. Good discussions can come from bad initial posts, and even if they can't, responding to garbage with more garbage ultimately just produces more garbage.
Of course, the counterargument is that not all posts deserve replies, and to that I say, why is the post still up then? It's the moderator's job to moderate, not the user's.
>>38447Its shocking that a socialist who has been in spaces like leftypol for nearly a decade
wouldn't believe it! There's currently a 300+ reply thread on this very site full of faggotards arguing whether the concept of hiphop is kosher for konunism (for the record, it is, China allows it and it's mainstream there, the guy who says they banned it is flat out wrong). So many of the people on this site think that Communism is fascism with the social values of 20th-century Russia.
And before you say anything, I'm not Vooshcoded. My stance is that of subsidiarity, that issues should be solved on the most local level that practical reality allows: federal government < state government < city government. If a town votes to ban homosexual relationships, for example, good for them. Go be gay somewhere else. You'll find very little resembling liberal notions of "human rights" in my thought.
>>38456I personally
am gay. But if a community finds homosexuality intolerable, they should not be forced to tolerate it by outside forces.
>>38459If a community finds homosexuality intolerable, then they already demonstrated non-ethically founded morals and will be counter-revolutionary.
Being a leise fair lolbert when it comes to reactionaries is just enabling reactionaries.
>>38460mandatory furry boykisser hypno
>>38461You are indistinguishable from a neo-liberal. Homosexuality is not and will not be sanctioned by any communist states, and like any other form of bourgeois decadence will be subject to repression until it falls out of fashion. Most of the population is already very much opposed to public displays of unproductive sexuality in any form, much less sodomy, so the only way you are going to get the proletariat to tolerate your ilk is through direct force of arms. In which case the status quo of NATO is perfect for you
>>38460Degeneracy is neither quirky nor funny
(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST) >>38462>Homosexuality is not and will not be sanctioned by any communist statesObjectively wrong. How embarrassing.
>>2098887I consider myself "libertarian" in the sense that I believe in decentralized authority; specific communities impose the rules they need to deal with their particular problems, rather than a giant state attempting to figure out everything in the abstract. Also, authority absolutely exists and if you claim it doesn't you're retarded.
>who rejects the scientific and successful applications of Marxism in Marxism-LeninismI don't reject them, I just think there's a better option.
>>38453>If a town votes to ban homosexual relationships, for example, good for them. Go be gay somewhere else.This is why lolberts are cringe lmao.
If a town votes to ban homosexuality, blow up city hall, preferably with as many bureaucrats inside as possible.
>>38462>bourgeois decadence<proletarian identitarianismThere it is again
>Most of the population is already very much opposed to public displays of unproductive sexuality in any formMore like in some cultures any public displays of affection are generally disliked.
Anyway dude you'll find a lot of proles are bi and do gay stuff without labeling themselves as homosexuals. Been there done that…
