/meta/ - Ruthless criticism of all that exists (in leftychan.net)

I mean, ultimantly, it's a demcoratic process; the creation of new boards. You would have to join either the irc, or, the matrix and talk to the anons there. We are pretty full up on boards right now. We just recently had one other board get shot down for that reason, but, in the future when we garner more traffic I don't see why not. It's worth joining the matrix and getting to know everyone, though.

>>11955
>>>/lgbt/ was fully created though, not sure which one was shot down.
>>11953
I would support this. Like the other poster said you should join the matrix or irc and make a proposal. How this works is describe in section 3 of this document: https://leftychan.net/static/manifesto.pdf#page=2

Bumping my old thread

in ol' Nihon soy is consumed in small quantities (cubes) … in ol' nihon they eat little protein bites combined with little/soluble carbs/fats/fibre as a delightful tapestry of cuisine

Are you the general uyghin guy they are always leaking about? What did you even do I really can’t get through the incomprehensible article about your “detractors”

>put up fake "We're hiring sign"
>collect emails
>tell people to visit .net
Would it work?

>>12086
That seems like a really dick thing to do, but try it anyway.

>>12086
>>12087
It really would be a dick thing to do

>>12061
don't do that

>>12089
Why not?

>>12006
>even need more banners
Idk but I added this one >>12005
we have 49 now.

>>12007
the more the merrier!

space themed one cuz i love space

>>12009
Not a fan of this one to be honest. It's obvious these were American astronauts, coloring the flag doesn't change that, and also the font you chose is weird (kinda looks like when AI tries to do letters).

Am I being picky or does anyone else feel the same way?

>>12010
i mean the canvas size is 300x100 so i cant really use detailed fonts can i? i tried a metal-ish font style but idk

maybe will make smth else? i thought it would be a nice jab at humour

>The Internet can also go over any medium and it is also resilient to topological changes.
On the clasical internet if your ISP goes down, your entire internet does. ISPs can also be main points of censorship, and they collect your data. On Yggdrasil, it is a mesh network, meaning every node can also accept connections over any medium it wishes and route more traffic.
Look at China or Russia. They censored almost all of the biggest internet websites, and to access them you need to use a VPN. Yggdrasil doesn't have this issue, because as long as you can make one connection over any medium to the outside world (like for example over packet radio), you can access the outside net.

>Yaggdrasil doesn't provide DNS either.
Most people don't actually even use any DNS with yggdrasil, but there are a few classical DNS providers that simply serve domain names, but the system is decentralized because there is no one single registry, and anyone can make their own.

>The encryption is nice but we have encryption on top of IP via TLS which prevents any sort of man-in-the-middle attacks and I trust that a lot more than a new protocol.
Yggdrasil encrypts EVERY connection, unlike the classical internet, which can only ever encrypt if you have a domain name, which up the line you got from ICANN. This is possible because your address is a hash of your public key. This way there is (practically) only one public key for each address, and you don't have to rely on companies to assign them.

>>11965
wait, so, i can use ygggdrasil if my internet goes down??

>>11966
If you have another connection to another peer (over a direct Ethernet connection, WiFi, packet radio, or any other medium), then yes, you can, and packet radio isn't very difficult to set up.

>>11965
If I understand this right and it's the same as reticulum: This is good if you are building a physical alternative to the internet, but what is the point of running yggdrasil (or reticulum) over TCP/IP if we already have I2P?

>>11968

>If I understand this right and it's the same as reticulum
Reticulum has its own network stack, with its own protocols, different addresses, and so on. Yggdrasil on the other hand uses the existing TCP/IP stack with ipv6, so that any existing application compatible with ipv6 can connect over Yggdrasil.

>what is the point of running yggdrasil (or reticulum) over TCP/IP if we already have I2P?
I2p is unstably slow compared to Yggdrasil, and i2p can natively only connect over the regular internet, meaning if the regular internet goes down, i2p does too. Yggdrasil on the other hand can peer over many different mediums making it much more resistant to censorship, and a much better mesh network.

bro got filtered by basic bitch ass r9k rules 💀

Cool story bro

Hi everybody it's me OP,
sorry I just am confused by my sexuality as I am in the throes of discovering that I want Liz Trueanon to shrink my dick into a little dicklet and then say buh bye to my dick
the realization made me irritable but Im ok now

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.

Probably not until we can do cheap directed energy weapons.

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.
