no i get the history and all that, i just find it a bit confusing with having only two channels and them being structured in a weird way

@patchuun @rose It's a split from an MLP community? Incredible.
I just know it for the communist music YouTube channel.

yeah it is, i checked like yesterday because i was bored
it kinda sucks that both leftypol and getchan arent as active anymore tbh, scrolling through them makes for great time killers without the 4chan edgyness

@coolbean @rose 4chan is going public. You have to provide your retinal scan to use it now I think

@rose one could make a fedi chan-fe to achieve something similar. the fundamentals between an image board and a microblogging site are not very different

@coolbean @rose
leftypol was never on 4chan, it was on 8chan (before 8chan self destructed)
leftypol is now at leftypol.org, or leftychan.net (if you're BASED)

@rose @coolbean
There was a mod coup a few years ago, I think a few of the old mods were kicked off or something, but I can't remember the whole situation. Besides that, the mods on leftypol org are a bit more trigger happy when it comes to banning people and deleting threads, especially if they think it's a 'troll thread' or something like that.

there's a thread about it here https://leftychan.net/meta/res/11101.html

I think it's because right wing communities often prioritise being as edgy as possible, with everyone attempting to push the envelope of how absurd and crass they can be, leading to a sort of degeneracy spiral.

Leftist communities, on the contrary, are often extremely policing of language, jokes and other such things, which often leads to purity spiralling, which bolsters the biggest, fattest reddit-tier moderators to become the leaders of their online communities.
