How does the overboard work? Some threads don't appear while some do, even though the order is different when I look at https://leftychan.net/b/index.html . Is this a glitch or by design?

Hello everyone. I am making this post to announce the establishment of the leftychan official IRC network: irc.leftychan.net/6697 #leftychan
It took about a days worth of work but we finally managed to get her up and running. We plan to establish a bridge connection in the future to the matrix and fbi.gov chats and possibly a massive bridge room too. Also I2P service is coming in the future. So, come join us, anon! It sure would be nice having you around the IRC!

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).

This sticky will be for discussion about the on goings of votes currently happening in the congress.
All votes that happen in the congress must be required to be posted here upon their establishment as a vote in the voting hall.

For anyone who is not aware:

Every single person on this board is entitled one vote on the matrix for any vote that is taking place on sed matrix. Voting functions as follows: Firstly you must join the matrix upon which you will enter a vetting room. The vetting is pretty much to make sure you are not a poltard and that you follow some tenant of socialism, nothing more.

After you are vetted you will be added to the chat, the voting hall and the congress respectively. Any anon may make any proposal at any time
In order for a proposal to become a vote, firstly, a proposal must be created (duh); simply make a post in the votting hall declaring your proposal.
A proposal must receive two thumbs up by two other congress members other than the person who drafted the proposal.

After you get two thumbs up you, or any other congress member, may open up a vote by declaring that it is a vote, a short summary of what the vote is over, and a date and a time for when the vote will conclude.
In order for a vote to pass there must be a civil majority (no ties) from the time the vote opens to the time the vote closes. Votes close, nominally after 3 days from the time they are start, but, if a majority of 6 or more anons over overwhelmingly support the proposal then the vote can be fast tracked to 24 hours upon such a threshold being reached. One last thing: A vote that is deemed critical cannot be fast tracked.
The numbers required for a proposal to become a vote and fast tracking are subject to change as the congress grows, fyi.

Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

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.

I remember using /leftypol/ back in 8ch but I didn't care enough to come here after it died. I decided to check again some days ago and I noticed that there are two boards now
what's the lore behind this?
what's the difference between the two?
which one should I use if I don't care about idpol?

Yeah orge as a community that has anything to do with classic Leftypol is fucking dead. This is what happens when you let Troon mods take over. They always have to turn every community into their fucking Tumblr idpol hivemind. What is annoying as well is how bad faith they are. They always play dumb, then try play bad faith linguistics games then run to the mods.

What can be done to advertise leftychan and get more users? I'm sick of all new users being sent to .orge and thinking Leftypol is a bunch of histeronic hyper-authoritarian BPD troons.
Leftychan in it's current state is functionally dead. We get maybe like 5-10 unique posts in a day.

Man, calling back to BBS?
Come on, dude. I grew up with small webforums and then 4chan, 7chan, and the 8ch precursor to this… and none of those were this slow back then!
There's a difference between expecting an imageboard to be a real-time chatroom and wanting it to be more active… I agree that the long-form discussion is a great advantage of this format, it's easy to find topics and to chime in or check them whenever, which gives us a huge advantage over deliberately un-navigable major social media sites where discussion is a jumbled fucking mess. With that said, I'd like to see this advantage put to more use - it's shameful, to me, that we are losing out to sites like Twitter, Facebook, etc. which actively suppress and censor leftist and anti-imperialist discussion and news. It's easy to understand why this is happening - we don't have the kind of capital they do, they have connections in the political and military state, they collude with eachother, the post-8ch /leftypol/ community has been couped and faced repeated splits - but I think we should at least aspire to do a better job of countering it. Bunkerchan successfully picked up refugees from /leftypol/ when 8ch collapsed - will we be able to do the same when .org collapses?
Will we be able to catch leftist activity from Twitter as the boot comes down? Will they even realize that posting here is an option?

I’m finding this harder to believe.
Yes, mainstream social media is cancerous but having spent a decade in alternative social media, I’m not convinced that imageboards are any more sincere.

In fact, imageboards seem uniquely toxic in how they obsess over literal nobodies that don’t even dent in the typical underground culture.

And let’s not forget about how everything is a fed or making up some new slang term for any current year epoch.

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).

>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.

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.

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.

Hi I am from the soysphere and I’m wondering if there could be a /leftysoy/ board here.
Context: https://wiki.soyjak.st/Leftysoy/

The board formerly existed on soyjak.st until it was eventually deleted because of bourgeoisiecucks, I have also been exiled from the new administration on the site and some of the soysphere for bullshit reasons.

I would like a new /leftysoy/ and I think it would bring in many users for the site too

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.

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).
