but yeah if people want to stop using the site, i understand

i don't know if we will keep the name libpol but so far after like 2 years of brainstorming it's the only name that most people seem to hate the least

i tried to warn people about the redirect for a while but yeah

you can treat it like the exact same site

if you don't like liberals or liberalism you can still stay. the only overarching principle of the site is banning social rightists

yes and there may be a lot of it but it will be kept out of the brainworm.surgery surrogate thread (whatever board it may reside in)

and also unironically if anyone has a better name suggestion (it can't be brainworm) we may try it

brainworm as a name is too repulsive to too many people unfortunately

>>26825
hmm

when i link brainworm.rodeo or brainworm.surgery to average people they think the site is a virus. they think it's an edgy weird name for elite hackers or underground researchers or something

i agree it's a good name in theory but in practice i want what will help the site to grow

not super rich but rich enough that i can pay hosting bills out of pocket for uhhhhhhhhh enough time

well to clarify, like hosting bills are probably $50/month, which anyone with a job can probably afford

if it gets very big i will definitely need donations or some other things. but like that's something to worry about later. right now i have not much hope it will ever grow at all

step one is just seeing if i can come up with a site that people (as in a lot of people) actually want to use

yeah, i have some vertical and horizontal scaling plans in mind if we reach that stage. but right now i am just trying to focus on actually reaching that stage

we might drop the libpol branding if it fails, but the goal right now is to try it out and see how it goes

i guess i won't totally rule out trying a brainworm.* site again

>>26848
the thing is i have come to learn people trust .com/.net/.org and brainworm is not available for those

the fun TLDs are fun and i like them but people feel safer with regular TLDs

and are more likely to recognize they are actual websites

so yeah i'll be generating endless tons of AI slop to shill my stupid website

>>26853
wow

>>26856
this one is......at least coherent

and i honestly kinda like the red coloring a bit though the text below is bad

well there's https://boymoders.com

yeah

but yeah i am sorry to disappoint users who just wanted a cozy discord server with livetyping

my goals are to make a large website with a lot of boards and threads and users

libpol may or may not be the best way to achieve that, but that is what we'll be trying for now

lol

>>26871
yeah mostly

>>26870
it is sad that a lot of the early brainworm regulars are gone

yeah

i kinda expected it'd turn out like that. oh well

if not for technical issues i would probably try to make it so there were boards with alternate domains on here but yeah for various reasons everything needs to be under libpol.org

>>>/worm/ is an unlisted board if anyone is interested as well

>>26881
see ya. sorry that things turned out this way

uhhhhh it one sec

yeah we have certain DM restrictions to prevent spam/abuse

>>26903
i honestly get it. i was expecting WAY more users to quit forever when i announced the new site

as long as like at least 4 people stay here then it's just what i've accepted as the trade-off

indeed

that's why i think it's a funny name. i love the inherent contradictions

i will be and i would right now probably if we had more than like 1 person online so i think i'll wait until tomorrow

yeah that's the angle i'm going to be going for, that's why i decided to put /chat/ on hold and force everything into /lgbt/ for the time being as a kind of marketing campaign

or i'm sure there's some kind of marketing term for it. like a uhhh......focusing on a specific cohort or something, i dunno

i feel like they might have a more pretentious marketingspeak term for it but yeah pretty much

i have no online or offline patterns i am a formless void inhabitant

oh but

we have more mods besides me

so response time will hopefully be quick

yes

>>26924
quite a few

>>26925
yep

>>26925
post hiding should work now

also linking individual 4chan posts should now probably work now

test

[4chan]

we now have #libpol

you can try to make a better melody if you want

true

so

here's welcome:

#say [weh4,17lkah4,12m _2 tuw2,11 brey4,19nwrr4,23m daa6,24t _2 srr2,19jhrr2,16iy4,12 _4 dhax4,17 pley4,12s _2 fao2,11r ao4,19ll wrr4,23m riy6,24 _2 ley2,19tih2,16d niy4,12dzz]

and here's libpol:

welcome to the new brainworm

friend

brainworm is dead long live libpol

in order for a site to grow activity needs to be concentrated

>>26957
sorry you can just treat this place exactly like brainworm and pretend there is no difference

it does

well we do have a secret >>>/worm/ board too

if you want to stop using the site, i understand and wouldn't fault you or anyone else

i want something that has a chance to grow, and unfortunately when normies or even non-normies hear "brainworm" they think malware, viruses, crime, underground, "this link is unsafe" etc. etc.

oh because in order to bootstrap this place it needs activity and to help deal with the chicken and egg problem transplanting brainworm's userbase to here helps

i would possibly re-establish brainworm yeah

if this place gets big enough

it's ok

there are lots of new features here at least

call me whatever you want but admin is preferred

>>26987
what does this mean

>>26987
#oracle ()

hmm

>>26992
well you can set flags in the person icon settings

and you can do

for buries or a billion other things

>>26993
interesting video choice

.skip

>>27000
are you slowtyper

>>27013
if used not pejoratively yes or uhh if used not as a right-winger would basically

>>27016
where are you from

lol

>>27029
cool

we have like 50000000000 models

or like......13 models

the real fun stuff is modifying images though

observe:

see

that is the true fun

>>27051
yep

yeah but it's mostly just for like

uhhh

not much

we greatly reduced the rate limit

we don't want threads to be filled with endless AI generation

yeah makes sense

i might increase the limit a bit i guess

btw anyone can use #slop against an image to destroy it (if it's made by AI)

>>27081
try typing # bleet words

https://bsky.app/profile/libpol.org here's the libpol bluesky

we have a surprisingly high-ish number of followers

given 0 are bots

>>27096
possibly

https://bsky.app/profile/egregore.libpol.org and here's the libpol egregore bluesky. all uses of the # bleet or # skeet command post there

>>27098
there's a bunch of socialists and neoliberals and everything in between there i think

i, personally, am a liberal

this website's only real guiding principle, at the moment, though, is "exclusion of social rightists"

but uhh yeah despite the name of this site this board is not for this sort of political discussion really

probably

>>27120
>oh hmm multiline paste doesn't really play nice with the chan/email quote marker
i think it uhhhh used to work as you intended it to here but i think i may've changed it for some reason. i can look into that

or...actually what exactly did you intend

fuck did i accidentally turn this into a politics site

>>27173
>>27171
damn i messed up...

it's ok though..

everyone should please keep talking but yeah probably in the future i may encourage most politics discussion occur in >>>/libpol/ and >>>/db8/ (the latter intended to be a more thoughtful longform-driven place)

yeah it's fine, the site ends in pol dot org and i uhh probably even started the discussion so it's expected but yeah

>>27189
apparently that was a misattribution like 90% of quotes of all famous people

though he said something somewhat similar

>>27191
#this

>>27191
#somuchthis (you can say that again!)

>>27195
yes he never said that exact quote or anything quite like that exact quote

but he expressed the same sentiment through different wording

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/lenin-decades-quote/

>In the space of a few days we destroyed one of the oldest, most powerful, barbarous and brutal of monarchies. In the space of a few months we passed through a number of stages of collaboration with the bourgeoisie and of shaking off petty-bourgeois illusions, for which other countries have required decades.

this is the actual quote

a journalist then later like swapped it out for something that sounded pithier

>>27206
this won't bleet or skeet AI or command output fyi

>>27212
i could try to make it work but uhh yeah not sure
