/r/leftypol is now public

I'm going to start shilling on other leftist subs

NORMIES GET OUT

...

Fyi this has been tried in the past and resulted in this

It wasn't supposed to be like this

Reddit is somewhat free. I don't think it will get banned.

NUKE THIS

Holla Forums is Holla Forums. We don't need another & not on reddit for that matter.

Tbh, you probably won't even have to nuke it, because most new subreddits rarely thrive.

To late I all ready shilled for it on multiple subs.

KILL YOURSELF

So you're purposely trying to start shit on reddit? Fuck off.
Again though, even if you don't delete it now, it will just stagnate & die soon.

This is going to end poorly.

No!

With the amount of tripfags we already have that shouldn't be much of a change.

...

Just make the only post a referral link to here and then ban submissions.

I'm not OP

Welp, this is it I guess.

sorry man deleted my reddit account ages ago, fuck that place. Not even sure why I ever bothered with it.

Top mod here. I can make it private again and add a link to Holla Forums?

Would that be better?

Bad!

What's the point

just take it down, please

Just take it down, there's really no point in attracting something that cannot potentially get any subscribers. Besides, we already have tons of Redditors here already.

What's with the fuckers on this board trying to import as much reddit retards as possible despite the fact we already have tons of them?

That's not an entirely bad thing. I don't want to completely encourage their bullshit but maybe they'll learn something from being here.

Even if you have to argue with them I'm sure eventually after the argument you'll win a convert. I get that it's a pain in the ass to deal with redditors but you gotta win the war of ideas

After the r/soc & 4/pol/ drama we got a flood of new users. We don't need any more. We've had enough advertising for now. Those who care will stick around; others will leave of course. The board is twice as fast at least than it was a year or two ago. And it's been a bit of a shitfest over the past couple of weeks with the influx. It's starting to calm down a bit finally. So please, no.

I'd rather try to convert normie liberals and conservatives.

Please no.

Fair enough, was only trying to play devil's advocate.

If you don't want to massively discredit leftypol amongst imageboard users you should delete this shit right now.

and the Wolff announcement.

Delete that shit!

definitely make it private

Why leftypol hates reddit so much?

No ledditors, No Holla Forumstards.

We don't need /r/atheism+/r/trees+🍀🍀🍀Greatest Ally)), etc. spam in here.

In addition, I've joined leftypol-region on NS.
nationstates.net/nation=read_a_book

We have nearly 1000 people here, the vast majority of them being fucking retarded, there is nothing to gain if we import even more of people with double digit Autism Level who learn theory from memes. Go read theory instead of trying to make this cesspool even worse.

Cause they are fucking retards who are basically on the other end of the Holla Forumstards.

This. It's better to have an educated few than an ignorant mass.

I forgot about that. I'm actually fine with the Wolff announcement, though. At least that would attract more intelligent/lefter people. As opposed to shitposters & larpers from reddit/pol/

No, we need to educate them on their own turf. Redditors will just come in here and demand we start banning shit or start 20 feminists threads a day (like there used to be a few months ago). The average redditor can't live without their internet points and subreddit "culture" drama. There's a distinct difference between someone who browses a few subreddits while they're bored and someone who calls themselves a "redditor".

Because it's easily bought out by special interests, has cointelpro, ctr, liberal normies, etc. The censorship done there is terrible, too.

ITT: muh sekrit klub

You fags do realize we need to convert people to our cause, right?
Engaging in masturbatory circle jerks are cool but it doesn't lead to anywhere.

Sure, but not so quickly, after we already had a huge growth spurt. The board quality & discourse would be destroyed. Anyone who's been around for at least 6 months & compares it to now can see that very clearly.

Which one of you wants r/socialism mods taking r/leftypol over?

Putting there basic ideas "we are not pro-Hillary", "What is Liberalism and why we aren't Liberals", "What is Marxist Feminism and why RadFem aren't", "What is Cultural Marxism and why it isn't Marxism" would greatly reduce amount of nonsense we are getting and may keep quite a few redditors out of here.

tl;dr: expand or be overrun by reddit and Holla Forums.

The moderation feedback thread has been pretty hilarious to witness over the past couple of weeks, because of that. I'm sure hope, really that they've since left once they found out that's not how we run things.

Our user base isn't even properly educated, you cannot have untrained soldiers on a battlefield when they don't even know how to use their weapons. How do you expect to convert,faggot ?

no you idiot. If you want to do that and educate them on their own turf, do not do it under the name of leftypol. Create a subreddit with another name and do that shit.

otherwise, it'll cause too much shit

They can come here & ask. I don't see why we would only be able to do that on reddit.

I agree we need to expand our ideas, but after all the shit that's gone down recently I think it's best to let things calm first.

Yes, I retracted my statement here:

my appologies comrades

I don't think an apology is needed, comrade. If all the shit that's gone down recently hadn't happened, I think people would've been more receptive.

The board gets more retarded every time we get a new wave of users, especially if they got invited from shitholes like facebook or reddit. Back then theory threads had more detail and the walls of text were also more common(due to the sizable numbers of theoryfags from places like /lit/), but with the increased number of users invited by retards who think they are "contributing" to the left-wing cause by "converting" people with memes this is not the case anymore. Your shitty mentality of wanting to have as many users as possible is what killed Holla Forums by turning it into a board full of edgy meme-spouting teenagers and I definitely do not want this tragedy to repeat here.
But I don't expect cretin who says "muh sekrit club" to understand that.

Because it lacks all the things that make imageboards so fucking good.

Well said, user.

I.e. spawn dozens of inane threads. I thought we didn't want that.

Because we can pin there the most common questions and let redditors discuss stuff among themselves there.

We are talking about people who have their heads so far up their asses, they ban catgirls and demand from banned users to go here and stir things up.

Do you really want to leave them alone and in peace long enough for them to come up with something new? Granted, they might get distracted by something else, but they might not.

OP you are a huge fucking faggot and cancer incarnate. Your presence here is like an inoperable and terminal tumor on the lymph nodes of this community.

this.

Think of having a subreddit like Holla Forums before and after having a furry board

You make a good point. When I first came here back in the day things were quieter. Honestly I was out of my league with the theory but I stuck around, lurked, and caught on. You guys posted different works to read, explained complicated theory, ect.

That sort of stuff has been happening less as of late because of the influx of shitposters. Those that will be receptive will use this place as a jumping off point to research theory. We don't need to make this place a "baby's first leftist" intro place. Keep it complicated and esoteric and those worthy of the name "Leftist" will catch on.

Someone in a previous thread suggested that some threads should be subject to rules by the OP. IMO something like that could cut down on shitposting and derailing, which is what drives alot of theory-heavy posters away. It's awfully frustrating to right out a long response to someone only for them to fart in your face with
or some other non-answer.

And Holla Forumscucks that come here to shitpost and not discuss in good faith should be treated even more harshly imo.

It's not reddit per se, but the Fake Left - or New Right - that made their place there.

also, it allows for a (relatively) searchable archive

Ooh, now I get it.
All that matters it's just to have the knowledge of theory not to actually change anything.
Like Marx said The philosophers have only changed the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to just interpreted the it.

The faster a board becomes, the less likely there is to have detailed discussions on things.

the influx has been mostly from Holla Forums. redditors wouldn't know the first thing about shitposting.

.>>1338733
I mean, I get why it could be a good tactic but I just don't know how well it would work in practice.

So we wouldn't want to more easily lead them here, right?

Could you not be a faggot for like a second

...

The classic passive aggressive redditor attitude with a complete refusal to admit they are the problem with every site they infest.

I dunno, I'm kinda glad I don't have to spend pages btfo leftcoms anymore

Yea, it makes complete sense. Sort of a shame because you obviously want to promote theory, spread class consciousness, but at the same time I feel like we need a homebase. Finding a balance between keeping this place useful and spreading the word is tricky though

pretty much, not to mention there are plenty of other places to post walls of text of theory and not meme spout

remember kids: chans are for serious bizness only

yea php/whatever forums are the best for walls of text, chans are for the more immaterial things.

Although fast boards are garbage

...

What?
Don't you agree that the whole point of Marxism it's just to create an intelectual elite knowledgeable of theories?
So let's do this, let's just circle jerk about theory, meanwhile IRL the number of aut-rightists grow exponentially and Trump do whatever he wants. That seems pretty good to me.

bunker-dollars when?

That's what I loved about this place when I first got here. Not as fast, but much more substance.
1 wall of text > 20 random shitposts

bunker-bux :^)

Let's be real, how much of this have you seen lately? Not enough, imo.

You read my post and everything, but then still talk about walls of text?

...

You are not only a retard, but also suffer from unwarranted self-importance. Still, that is to be expected that from a faggot from /r/socialism who believes he will change the world through meme warfare while at the same time quoting Marx.

Yeah & it doesn't change my opinion.

k

Reminder that Holla Forums elected Trump using meme warfare.

Nobody knows. But will not doing anything work better? That's the question.

I'm not sure it is possible to hide existence of Holla Forums or Holla Forums, if that's what you are implying. [/sarcasm]

What is possible is to create a first stop for redditor crowd. A buffer of a sorts, where they can get the answers they would've sought here and get a place to discuss stuff among themselves.

It's not about that. Be real, Holla Forums is not going to lead the revolution. At the very least this place serves as a focal point for leftists to come together and discuss Leftism

If you want to promote class consciousness, go print out some propaganda, hang it up on the streets. Class warfare will be fought out there, not on the internet. This is not the place for "greenpilling" liberals.

Go hand out some of Marx+Engel's pamphlets or something.

No, there are far more reasons why the average Trump voter would have done the same thing without Holla Forums. The rust belt does not care about some SJWs in their cloistered universities or about building a fascist ethnostate.

or you know, create a place to discuss real socialism on one of the biggest website on the internet

This is not about the secret club. The fact is that this is a place has little use beyond discussing things, so we should at least aim towards discussing something substantial like political theory, economics or philosophy rather than creating another shitty compass or gay circlejerk threads.

Are you that guy who posted the Marx's quote above? If so, congratulations on admitting you not barely read what he wrote.

Do you mean make a Holla Forums subreddit?

The idea itself isn't bad but why does it have to be called Holla Forums

Dude don't get me wrong I agree with you but I also think we need a place to retreat from the masses for a bit. Yea maybe it is a "secret club" but what's wrong with that? If you want to focus on internet outreach, and believe me that is a noble goal, let's have a place we can retreat from it for a bit.

If you are putting on a protest to promote some sort of activism, do you invite the entire protest back to your house after? Maybe invite your friends and a couple of good people you met, but not everybody. You have to have a place to organize your thoughts.

...

This I agree with

Like?

...

so is it private yet?

OP, you could always just rename it to something besides Holla Forums like others are suggesting

Mod here. Not doing either of those. Waiting to see what happens.

In an ideal world, what would happen is you'd never find this place to begin with.

reddit.com/user/SolarAquarion
This is a person that says we should open up to redditors.

SolarAquarion is a massive faggot from the irc that actively tries to sabotage Holla Forums.

Really makes you think.
But you're just as big a POS for posting that gif.

you're no better than OP newfag-san

I didn't click it because I recognized it.

Redpill me on his faggotry.

They killed Rosa Luxemburg

Chans and Reddit have always hated each other. Usually, on the ground that their karma and name system works to push back dissent and make people jude the validity of an argument on the post who made it rather than the argument itself.

That's not a reddit problem tho, it's a human problem.

>because I'm totally not SolarAquarion
I would like to know, too. But seeing as how that user is reddit subversion incarnate, I don't need to know much more.

Everyone who defended this idea - I hope you see that this is why we avoid reddit bullshit. This asshole is trying to subvert Holla Forums.

I give you -1 as a person.

So he was behind the redditelpro shit.

No, it's a reddit problem.

I'm not him you fart sniffer, I just want to know what he's done in the past.

Anyone that is posting in his faggy sub should take a good hard look at themselves.

It's a human problem.

I'm sure those are his other subversionist friends, trying to make the appearance that people are fine with it or that it's working.

Which is why that's not a good thing.

Pretty telling that on his twitter he got himself banned from r/soc in the latest shitstorm, and that the most responded to thread there says "we are back on reddit".
Redditors are truly incurable, they haven't moved on culturally from le epic trollface rage comic infantile mindset that their site is the best and is the central hub of the internet.

You are nominated to be a Cheka inspector.

Not that user, but when I saw the subreddit I thought to check who opened it, but figured there's no way to see who created it. Didn't occur to me to check the fucking mods, lmao.

I second this nomination.
