This is the democratic process. This is why having one cunt at the top calling the shots is undemocratic. This is what happens when you have many people pulling to different sides. And the board is insulated from this shit drama. We take the blunt of the drama for the sake of the community. If you want to get involved in the drama, become a mod, otherwise, we don't share these petty squabbles to not bother the wider community. Yeah, inconsistent moderation is annoying, but it's the brice of freedom etc.

and it is a LARP, but we also take it seriously It's a long story on how we got there, but we were testing out more avenues of transparency. We've been testing it for a while now and we've had mixed results. We've discussed rolling it back too, because it actually stifles discussion internally and also mods forget to check the board. Things are moving, which is good.
Btw: This chatroom is now for user-mod moderation. It doesn't have long since it's inception, but it has given good results so far.

Posting from mod room -
https://lemmygrad.ml/post/12165 Wvobby has an account here, and had one before he was a mod. He further had a mod of the website, "Seabourne_PLA" say that "To address concerns of brocialism and western leftism on /leftypol/, though yes that used to be a major issue, the people in charge of Bunkerchan are well-read Marxists and are trying to turn the community around on those things. I don’t scroll it myself, however. The information I’ve shared is entirely second hand from a close friend who’s a respected member of the community."
"Seabourne_PLA"'s post was on the 25th of Janurary and Wvobbly was interviewed for a moderator position on the 19th. This and Wvobbly having an account on the site as well as Wvobbly's pro-idpol modding behavior strongly implies that Wvobbly is the "close friend" PLA is referencing.
One of the mods discovered this and was warning about wvobbly back in February

>>5037 The issue isn't anti-idpol, but rather how we conceive it. In /leftypol/ a lot of the time this is approached not by addressing the faulty reasoning of the reactionaries and trying to lead them to a better understanding of these issues (woke capital, pandering, co-opting) , but by sucking up to them to own the imaginary radlibs living rent free in their head.
Of course this isn't something that every single poster engages in, thankfully we have sane Comrades here, but we can't deny that it's usually these socially conservative users who usually derail conversations towards their talking points in regards to culture war nonsense.

First it happens in the other direction with libs too.
Second, most posters will either dismiss them through shitposting, or redpill them by explaining where this shit come from from a marxist perspective (but not as often, as it require effort for educating a retard, without guarantee of success).
I have never seen good posters (or even a big amount of shitposters) "sucking up to them", only retards getting called out. And yes, if they call out retarded libs sjw, we will join in. Just like we join libs calling out retarded polyps.
But in both case, with our own justification (that can often not be spelled out clearly in the case of shitposting, which is the majority)
Also, I will point out, the mainstream media power support both, but sjw are a lot more prominent in them, so they naturally receive more attention.

so long as someone else is enforcing bans for excessive liberal idpol, i don't care how radlib a place people advertise in. they will improve over time or fuck off because they're bored and don't buy into the psychological reward mechanisms of imageboards. (that is, they prefer retweets to (you)s )
it is more important to be vigilant against idpol of the right, which as we've seen enjoys a structural advantage on imageboard style sites with a culture of lax moderation. this is
especially true if the rest of the web is turning away from liberal idpol, as that will only increase the power of right-idpol as western imageboard contrarians march ever rightwards in response.
>>5016 "and since we conducted that meeting all sides have had a meeting and sorted everything out…"

>>5046 the purge was good and undoubtedly sped up the reunification of the community on the site with competent administrators. absent the purge we would probably still have two /leftypol/s, each going at quarter speed.

Is there any proof at all that this wobbly guy is up to what he's being accused of? Coming down harder on reactionary idpol is a very welcome change imo, even if I ultimately believe the root of this kind of drama is that theres no workable definition of "idpol", especially as a term that can allow for consistent moderation. /leftypol/ has always primarily used "idpol" to mean liberal and left-liberal excesses regarding the prioritizing of various identities over class, and an overemphasis on discourse as determinative. /leftypol/ has also always been more permissive of "right wing idpol", both because it was almost a welcome change to deal with that instead of liberal hysterics, and because the climate of *chan culture that most of us come out of desensitizes the community to what would otherwise very much be considered "right wing idpol." Face it, there's no reason that left-liberals posting about lukewarm intersectionality racial politics would "divide the working class along identity lines" more than users saying uyghur and faggot all the time, but there's an implicit understanding that when people on here say idpol they mean liberals talking about identity. It's always been like that and there have been waxing and waning periods when /pol/ spam was banned with the justification of it being right wing idpol, but we should be honest about what /leftypol/ has always fundamentally meant by being "anti-idpol." If you act like "identity politics" is such a self evident thing and that its easy to distinguish in such a way to enforce a ban on it, of course the moderation is going to devour itself by chasing shadows.
