@sdfgeoff: What motivates me? The same thing that motivates anyone: The desire to effect real and actual change for my life materially, even if small, and for the greater community of humanity that I share with everyone else. · 2 years ago

@sdfgeoff: My perception of the culture is that of when I first got into IB and anon type culture: Edgy but not serious. I am obsetensively pro rights of all oppressed communtiies and am a hardened leftist. · 2 years ago

@sdgeoff: Amfora is being impossible so I will reply in sections: The staff that we broke off from uses a type of profiling system to profile their userbase based on IP information, yes. Leftchan.net holds a firm commitment against any such activity. · 2 years ago

Ooh, a leftist chan board? Color me interested, as someone who enjoys chan boards but hates how they imevitably become full of nazis. · 2 years ago

@sdfgeoff I think Usenet was fine with the odd /pol/ group. IRC had provocative channels. Now such discourse is seeking refuge in dwindling corners of the Internet. While I wouldn't want to see /pol/ content on alt.hobbies.knitting (and that rarely happened on Usenet), it feels to me important in principle that it should be tolerated. · 2 years ago

I am curious as to why people enjoy that sort of discourse.

My perception, as a non-user, is that full-anonymouse-comment-boards reward people provoking reactions from others, and that encourages types of extremism. Perhaps due to it's anonymous nature it doesn't seem to form a stable community.

As a person who is involved in that side of things, can you help me understand things like:

- what is your perception of it's culture?

- what motivates you to be active in it's community?

- how anonymous is it really (do you recognize people by contextual information)?

- what do us non-participators miss by not getting involved? · 2 years ago
