Apparently we do, so I've set one up. Same domain and port as in the OP. It's bridged to the matrix room.

Additionally I hooked it up to i2p, so you can access the irc over i2p by using the domain leftypolmatpqjy3d653eqncfblx6iaze6dlxcax6r6asbito2tq.b32.i2p and either port 6697 (make sure you can accept invalid certs) or 6667 (doesn't use TLS).

Originally it was only viewable by mods. In 2021 antinous made it visible to everyone because an anon requested that feature to prevent samefagging.

But I agree with you, it was probably only for mods for a reason.

For now we've fixed the count, but I've brought up the issue of removing it in the congress.

OK I think it's fine now

>There isn't a janniod chat room
yeah right

>Believe it or not staff actually do have to be able to speak especially the administration.
speak here so I can see it

There is a janny chat but it hasn't been used pretty much for the better part of a year. Everything we do pretty much takes place in the public congress.

Guys the matrix server is fucking up AGAIN after an update. I have no idea what the fuck it's doing yet, it's pretty much using 90%+ of the CPU. The logs aren't helping.

We had this problem before, but it went away after I migrated matrix to another server.

Anyways I guess for now we have IRC, or we can use our matrix.org accounts (yuck).

OK it's fixed. It was my fault, when upgrading postgresql you need to run vacuumdb otherwise it just does a whole lot of nothing.

And when I resubmit it detects the image as spam, then when I resubmit it detects the text as spam
can't post shit, and yet reactionary subhuman primitivist uyghurs are allowed
no wonder nobody comes over to your shitty splitter site

Cool story bro

Hi everybody it's me OP,

>>11880
>Maybe push leftychan to the Haz/ACP types on Haz's Kick
I do like this idea though.

https://d15cord.gg/JjD5MDSBzk
Server link to Haz, Hinkle and a bunch of the Infra/Midwestern Marx people hangout. You could try get them to promote the site if anyone cares enough.

Share the site with your orgs, show it to your comrades!

what do you mean

Filter deng to dung

filter dung to deng

Filter Hitler to Shekelgrabber

Filter fascist to faggot
– ontologically, linguistically, historically & actually accurate.
or maybe shitskin subhuman (as they always relate to the aryan race they love so much), th@ works too.

>>11859
In chan-lingo "fag" or "faggot" are synonyms for "person". You kno, like "old-fag" or "new-fag" that differentiate on the basis of how long somebody has been posting in a chan.

Maybe "fascist" could be filtered to "national-suicide-gang", because historically that's usually how it turned out.

>Are we done with guns?
As a species ?
Probably not until we can do cheap directed energy weapons.

>What should the next board topic be?
tools ?

This might be a blind alley, but let's take a quick and dirty look at how for-profit platforms work. Take Twitter/X for example. Most(?) of its revenue comes from advertiser fees and the sale of data. To this end, advertisers need clearly defined audiences to target, whereas the value of data relies on plentiful and consistent user engagement. The platform supports this by encouraging the development of communities surrounding cultural products and specific personalities. Nearly all content revolves around some form of personality marketing or cultural production. Users are given numerous ways to superficially engage with and curate content. They are served content through an endlessly scrolling feed interspersed with advertisements, and the platform uses various limitations and nudges to encourage content creation which can be consumed with minimal cognitive load. Moderation is oriented towards securing communities and advertisers by policing speech, and eliminating junk content (though what counts as "junk" is pretty much arbitrary at this point).
Other platforms with a developed business model tend to follow the same pattern, driving the process of market concentration and degeneration ("enshittification") that defines a lot of social media, but this could change over time. Smaller cultural producers would prefer a simplified version of decentralized platforms similar to Mastodon, since the lack of such a business model puts less pressure on the platform's developers and maintainers to interfere with content consumption, as well as allowing for interoperability between a multiplicity of niche sub-platforms that can organize in ways that better serve their specific needs. Since existing platforms are under immense financial pressure to maintain their existing business model, it's likely we'll see the development of sophisticated services that help users automatically collate their data across multiple platforms and export them to another one.
With this in mind, as long as we're still assuming that leftypol is supposed to be political, it really doesn't make any sense for it to be structured like other imageboards considering the business model that the most prominent ones operate under. However, simply altering the structure of the site wont help if it still lacks a clearly defined political movement to drive the kind of engagement that is needed.
