On Leftypol's "Responding to Bait" Problem

From everyone I've talked to, the reputation of Leftypol outside of Leftypol is "that really edgy commie board that calls everything they dislike 'a spoog' and genuinely responds/gives serious answers to ironic memes." Why do we do this? Should we continue engaging with the obvious bait posts put on there, or will we look like stupid-asses to these people either way?

"should we continue engaging with obvious bait posts?"

the problem is that people here are too retarded to tell when a post is bait

the trick isn't to tell people not to respond to bait - they know that, it's to teach them to identify bait so they know what it actually is they're not supposed to respond to

that's never going to happen, cause people here are spastic, so the whole question is moot

You should tell them that if that's what they think we're doing then they clearly don't understand the concept of a spook.

Only way to fix it is to get mods to delete obvious bait, which is never gonna happen because our mods are lazy af. We're basically living the true anarchist dream.

In fairness many do use it that way

This is an example of bait. Do not respond to it fellow denizens of the leftypols!

I'm so ready for an alternative to Holla Forums where I can get quality discussion that is well regulated.

And when I mean regulated I don't mean Nazi mods like /r/socialism and any other "socialist" bastion on reddit that ban people for saying something they don't like. I mean moderated and regulated in the sense that if it's a bullshit bait post, delete it and post the deletion on a public list for transparency like it should be so people can see what is going on, and make commentary and possibly changes on how the board is run.

But after my millionth run in with reddit recently and getting banned because literally "you're quite the devil's advocate" (I shit you not, that was the reason) and then coming back to this place…I'm getting real sick of the socialist scene online. Either I come here and only get to talk to a crowd of teenagers who find posting Stirner memes repeatedly, or I make yet another account on Reddit to get banned because I step on some SJW mod's toes somehow.

Good fucking God adult leftists need an online place to gather and it is not Holla Forums.

You think you can tell me what to do???

Well yea exactly, that's why me and others have been trying to get all the good posters here to move to bunkerchan. People here complain though with some conspiracy bullshit like 'omg they just want all the power and want to control us' like wtf it's just an image board and we all recognise Holla Forums isnt modded enough but then everyone freaks out when we try to provide an alternative with more moderation?

This is why the left is dying.

I heard Bunkerchan is dead? You know, fuck it dude. I'll start posting there.

it is dead. It gets maybe a post a week.
