Why is /leftypol/ so censored?

The entire purpose of the “imageboard” website format is to encourage a wide variety of ideas and information by using front-end anonymity and less moderation to spur people to post new ideas. The ability to remain anonymous (on the front end allows people to post different ideas and stops critics from browsing through one’s "post history”. The low-moderation encourages new ideas that would be “revolutionary” or “unsettling”.

This forum (/leftypol/) is heavily moderated which prevents free discussion of ideas. The reason why /pol/ is "avant garde” and “revolutionary” is because it doesn’t censor controversial ideas.

It seems to me that /leftypol/ merely adopts the “aesthetic” of an imageboard instead of its actual purpose.

Are you a delusional oldfag or very new and naive ?
There haven't been ANY board that doesn't moderate specific topics.
Text only boards like 2ch are not exempt,and also delete political posts for exemple.
Jannies always curate context and content,and only those who see the posts disappear can tell you if they are censored,and you can't check whether or not they're lying to you (since it's anonymous)
Even off-topic posts also get deleted all the time to curate threads.
Your exemple is one of the worst to choose too as others have already mentioned,any thread made on here would get deleted on /pol/ in less than a day.

I do believe it is moderated too much, at least in some areas. It literally says in our rules that non-leftist topics are allowed. A couple of mods don't realize that, and same with many users.
>The reason why /pol/ is "avant garde” and “revolutionary” is because it doesn’t censor controversial ideas.
They have the same problem of mods deleting stuff that shouldn't be deleted. Also, they aren't avant garde nor revolutionary, unless /mlpol/ and qanon count as avant garde.
>It seems to me that /leftypol/ merely adopts the “aesthetic” of an imageboard instead of its actual purpose.
Who died and made /b/ king? There isn't some inherent purpose of an imageboard. I use them for cybersecurity reasons, convenience and distaste for persistent identity.

This thread will only be on /leftypol/ for 72 hours before being moved to /meta/, so answer at first convenience.
Greetings users, we at the mod team are trying to understand user browsing habits. We're hoping to understand who the userbase is and how our actions are affecting them, so we're conducting this questionnaire.
Answer as you please, just include a greentext arrow and the number of the question you are responding to.

Survey Start
1. How do you feel about the general post quality on the board? Have you noticed a shift in quality since the redirect or any other recent events? Does it need increasing, and if so how should it be done?

2. Recently /leftypol/ implemented a rule requiring OPs to have at minimum 150 characters in order for them to post the OP. Do you believe this has affected new OPs since then positively or negatively?

3. Are there any posting trends or other forms of content in /leftypol/ that you have noticed that you feel is outside of the expected level of discussion in /leftypol/, and if so what is it and why do you feel it falls short?

4. How often do you tend to post? Do you have a regular schedule of when you come on to post or do you come on more at random?

5. Have you found yourself posting more or less often than usual? Is it because of something to the board or irl stuff or something else?

Tor gets blocked by CloudFlare on the clearnet domain. I know there's an onion domain but the connection is too slow to watch certain videos that are posted. And frankly its only benefit that I see is having a backup if clearnet domain gets censored.

So if possible unblock Tor in your CloudFlare's settings.

It limits a lot of spam :/ especially "the bad spam".

A read-only mirror of the site could be good. It might also serve as a backup. Idk.

When are you faggot admins going to address the wojak spam? It is unbearable to lurk a thread that has over 30 shitposts of greentext and shitty .jpg images

It should be a bannable offense to post more than three on the same day, if your only contribution to a thread is spamming it with shitpost because you can't form a coherent reply, you shouldn't post, just look at the Albanian faggot and the anfem currently spamming the main board.

I don't see that being enforceable, but wojak-posting should be seen as no exception to the existing low quality rules on non-/b/ boards.
Albanian flag (they rotate flags) is an unironic spammer. Report them on sight.

>>296545 (You)
To recount what Pakistani femanon said as best I can:
Islamic raiders invaded in the middle of a war between Pakistani forces and used the opportunity to conquer and disseminate Islam. Anywhere else in the world this invader would be viewed as some kind of arch-enemy and enemy of the local people, but because of Islam this invader is considered a hero and statues are erected to him across Pakistan. Muslims invaded and displaced all of Pakistani local culture and replaced it with their Arab culture and Pakistani Muslims all worship Arabs now. She wanted to go back to Pakistani culture and repel the Muslim invasion/erasure of her culture.

And there were dumb white westernoids calling her a sellout back then too.

I have two questions for the owners and devs of the site

1) Does people posting many images cost the website a lot of money? Like I post a lot of images and I worry that I'm ruining the HDD the site is operating on because of that?

2) When I use a picture on one thread and then use the same picture on another thread, Is it uploading and hosting the image twice? Or is your site smart enough that it uses the first to use as a host for the second file?

Thank you that is all, I have a very huge images folder and don't want to destroy the site that I like.

 No.7263

If that were the case I don't think the size limit would be 100 MB.
>>

 No.7266

I can answer a few of these. Essentially, I'd be more careful about flooding the community than ruining the site infrastructure.

>Or is your site smart enough that it uses the first to use as a host for the second file?
Nope!
Tinyboard and children (like this site) don't. It uses the Unix timestamp of when the post was uploaded as an identifier (in the address).
e.g. https://leftypol.org/meta/src/1622176382404.jpg
Usually that duplicate problem is 'solved' by not allowing duplicate files, but leftypol doesn't do that yet.
I know Lynxchan is smarter and uses a hash of the image (those 'random' letters and numbers) as an identifier, which is always the same for exact duplicate images.
e.g. https://anon.cafe/.media/135b31c5e2e9b2965140a47b4ed077e67b87433109b3c4821eadfbd0e3bf744f.gif (I posted that on two different boards, same link)

>1) Does people posting many images cost the website a lot of money?
Most server hosting deals work on a flat rate IIRC, like 2TB total storage, 100mbps bandwidth, possibly with a total bandwidth cap like 10TB a month. If so, you individually wouldn't be costing money by posting more or less unless you're hosting entire films. Either they need to pay for a whole extra tier, or they don't.

/b/ currently has an average of 12 images per thread, and 36 pages of 10 threads.
If we assume an average of 2MB per image, that's only 8.6 GB of storage needed to host /b/!
