/mlpol/ - My Little Politics

>>212842
You Came to the right place.

this is like trying to find a new dark souls game after you finished dark souls 3. its just not happening. Expectations lead to disappointment. Find a place that is just "good enough" for the time being. that may be here, that may be somewhere else. The internet is changing fast, better get used to moving.

>>212842
Why just as good as 4cuck when you can have better?

>>212844
It's more like trying to find a new Dark Souls after Dark Souls PTDE on Steam with DSFix and DSCM.

Aside from here, there's 8ch and wizchan, neither have captcha every fucking time like halfchan does

>>213557
8ch is overrun with shills right now, it's brutal. neinchan had a good start, but it seems to be slowing down. The captchas are brutal on neinchan though, sometimes I have to click through 7 captchas for one post. Insane.

There are very few shills here, and a lot of thoughtful anons. Haven't been to wizchan.

>>213557
>wizchan
Holy fuck no, I just went there, why would you send someone there? It's like swallowing a bottle blackpills and depression for incels.

DO NOT GO.

**Going to go wash myself off and fuck the wife now.**

>>213557
>>213780
This. Wizardchan is the most depressing and lonely place on the fucking earth. Why even name it? There's a reason that Zoe Quinn targeted them for the bullshit """harassment""" story: they're so limp wristed and depressed that they'd lie down and take it. Stay here or go to Nanochan on TOR - at least you'll get some ironpills and whitepills around these places.

>>212842
Poni.fun is a new pony board. It's grand opening is going to be 6.6. but the board itself works already.

>>213976
>>214021
It looks alright from what I've seen, but yeah, this. No point in trying to make some kind of "grand opening" if the site's already open to the public.

>>212842
> isn't 4chan but just as good?
Hell

>>214021
>>214022
Not that we need another mlpol board, but grand openings usually happen after the place is already open. Yeah, wierd, but that's how it happens, at least in the US.

>>214045
>>214021

The finnish dude who came up with this poni fun thing did not seem to be the most stable to me, might have been the same guy from the yandere dev threads who kept trying to find an excuse to program something.

His idea seemed worn out from the start and the marketing pretty much sucks. His main reasoning was that the politics here were depressing him. If he wanted to make his own pony board id say he should have done it by himself and not piggyback off a bluepilled version of MLPOL

>>214050
Now now, let's be fair. He insisted that the reason Mlpol wasn't getting more traffic was because of the politics.
Anons had told him that, he claimed.
How did that work out for him?

>>214050
The admin is fully delusional, he's trying to mimic the 8chan & /mlpol/ migrations causing people to abandon the old boards and 'start posting all at once' this is never going to happen unless a large group is already sick of the moderation like how anonfilly found a home here so they barely give any shits about posting on /mlp/ anymore.

The thing is the only thing poni.fun can give users is just what they can already find on /trash/. Banned generals like fluffy ponies, or Milky way and so on. But he has no quality control so it's full of shit as well like futa anthro sfm. And the admin is a lazy retarded fuck who believes in "if you dont like it just hide it" but then in a feat of stunning incompetence hasnt even allowed in the board settings the ability to hide threads and posts.

>>214135
So what you're saying is, it could be annexed?

>>214156
I like the way you think, anon. I like the way you think.

>>214156
>annexed
to /mlpol/? what irony that would be that he tried to create a space for no politics and then get absorbed back into here.

A good number of them were actual ponychan fags who were tripfagging for a while and just have an overly positive 'brony' like feeling.

Not all of their ideas suck, they've got more creativity than the AyyQGfags but we can already do basically all of it here if anyone wanted.

>they think they might want to have a writing and content creation crit board
>/mlpol/ already has writer critics, writefags, and writer competitions.

What poni.fun fags are trying to do is give everyone free space so that 'the next big meme' from the fandom can happen. They do have a creative desire and ability to brainstorm, so it's not a total lost cause. Like how they have a milkyway thread but inside it tried to spitball a new crotchtits oc. But some of it looks like it's trying too hard, like the idea for making an entire sub-board for /faust/ canon only and brainstorming off that instead of just a thread. like really, how much do these faggots think that has for potential. a whole board for it? for what purpose? the main poni.board is already dead, why would you make another dead board? And trying to be the next EQD without seth's shilling. Maybe for a good intentions but does anyone really care at this point for another EQD? I sure dont.

I will say that this search feature is very good though, and since they are using /mlpol/s source code shouldn't we have it too?
https://poni.fun/search.php?search=faust&board=poni

>>214135
The rest of the internet is available for lefties. The politics isn't hurting adoption here.

Someone recommend me a VPN that's known to bypass 4chan restriction

Bonus points if it's simplified (never used one)

>>214206
If you find a VPN that works it'll be blocked as soon as mods and admins find out and/or as soon as someone spergs out and uses it to post CP. Don't expect to find a good solution.

VPN software is usually easy to use as far as I know, just grab the client software from the provider website and run it. They're basically all the same thing - OpenVPN - under the hood but are bundled with easy to use frontends.

>>214050
Poni.fun admin here, and I'm not delusional, just desperate.

YandereDev is a failure and his last few videos have been practically parodies of what he's doing wrong, but the reason I took his side was that I hate it when people who do nothing act superior to someone who at least does something. One man trying his best is better than million waiting for someone else to act on their behalf. In the same vein, I am far from the best person to run a board but after waiting years for someone else to do it I *had* to take action myself. Like Brenton Tarrant said, you can't just wonder why won't somebody do something when you aren't doing anything yourself. "There is no pleasant meadow in which you can lay down your weary body, rest your head and wait for it all to blow over."

The only boards I'm trying to draw users away from are 4chan, and maybe 8chan. /mlp/ is to pony fandom what Facebook is to public discourse; a trap, drawing people to a place that appears nice and free but only because certain opinions have been banned altogether. It is slowly and intentionally killing the fandom, with exactly the same tactics the left is killing the white race. If they were too blunt the users would abandon them, but by narrowing their freedoms little by little they're slowly suffocating them without anyone standing up. After all, who would get banned to defend a single character? Or a single topic? Or a single fetish? They just submit and adapt, accepting that there's one more taboo they can't post about, day by day narrowing the range of content they are allowed to post or discuss.

8chan isn't bad because of moderation, but the users and their all-permeating pessimism. During one 4chan crisis I did my best to lure users into migrating there, but the handful of oldfags on /pone/ just drove them away and told them to get back to 4chan. /pone/ is all about lamenting how the show is dying, the fandom is dying and the board is dying, all the while openly saying that they're trying to kill it all themselves to "get off the ride" and "let it all die with dignity". I don't know if it's the shills, but there are threads on all the boards all the way to /sudo/ from people wondering why the users of 8chan seemingly want to kill their own site, with answers along the lines mentioned above. Whatever the cause, a site where the users themselves want to kill the fandom isn't good for the fandom either.

>>214052
If you don't think the politics are the reason 4channers don't come here, what *do* you think it is? If you don't believe me you can go to literally any pony board on any site whatsoever and ask what they think of mlpol and why they aren't posting here.

I myself think mlpol is the best pony board there has ever been since mlpchan got merged away into ponychan, but I simply can't stand all the blackpills here. I made a thread here years before Tarrant's manifesto about how spreading the word and motivational speeches among ourselves isn't enough if no one's committing to action. And I can't see how news about enemies censoring freedom of speech and arresting wrongthinkers is supposed to be a sign that they're getting desperate when that seems like another giant step towards their victory. Ponies are the only thing in the world giving me will to live, but the constant threads about how the world is going to hell and how no one can do anything about it overshadows any joy there is to be found here.

>>214259
mlpol.net Admin here, and I am going to explain to you precisely why mlpol has had difficulty growing, and why you are going to face an extreme uphill battle in getting your website going. I have tried to explain this to other people within the staff of this website who at one point wanted to transform it into 8chan-but-with-a-different-URL and I was not believed. I do not know if you will believe what I am about to say, but it is true, and I hope you will understand me.

All social media, and really, all websites that rely on user uploaded content, rely on what is called “the networking effect.” That is, that for each additional person engaging with the site, the value of engagement with the site increases slightly. Why do people lurk on 4chan? They want to see what other people have posted? Why do people post on 4chan? They want other people to see what they posted, and to reply to it. Thus, the more people that post, the more value in lurking. The more people that lurk, the more value in posting. The same is true of sites like YouTube, where the more videos that are uploaded, the more value there is in watching, and the more people that are watching, the more value there is in uploading video. Put simply, a site that already has many users engaging it is highly desirable, while a site with fewer users is less desirable.

Social media and other forms of websites based on user uploads are thus naturally occurring monopolies, because they tend towards a single entity dominating the market, with new entrants having an extremely steep barrier to entry. This is why Facebook, YouTube, and 4chan have what are essentially monopolies over their specific markets. This is why Minds and all of the Youtube competitors have difficulty breaking through. And it’s why mlpol.net remains small, and why you are desperate right now. To be desirable to posters, you must already have posters. With no or few posters, the site is desirable to no or few posters.

To be sure, there are other factors in play that affect desirability, like moderation, and these factors occasionally allow a competitor like 8chan to take a portion of the market. But it is easy to overstate the importance of these factors for the vast majority of posters. Even factors like quality of posts is related to the quantity, as an increase in quantity usually means at least some increase in the number of quality posts, and most users are willing to wade through low quality posts for a higher number of quality posts, rather than a smaller number of high quality posts with no low quality.

There are some exceptions. Mlpol.net was able to establish itself because it formed a coherent board community while still on 4chan, slowing a migration to occur as a collective all at once, meaning that there were a decent number of posters at the very start. It also helped that there was no other pony-politics combination imageboard or forum on the internet. But the low number of posts does deter many new posters, and makes growth difficult, as many posters who would otherwise be interested are deferred by a low posting rate.

I know that saying “it’s the posting rate,” or relatedly, “it’s OC creation/greentext writing” may sound trite, but it is said so often for a reason. Because it is the truth.

I do agree blackpills are getting hard to deal with. I've been posting when possible to rally people and excite them, but not much response has been attained. Meanwhile I've lost a fair amount of weight while working toward a simple pump action 12G shotty and some birdshot. I'm excited to shift away from (((google))) and other social media, and I'm ecstatic to toss my smartphone and get an old fashioned flip phone so I can work on ghosting. But it seems like most people here are lurking and posting impossible questions like how to stop the west without direct action.

I love you anons, please come to /ub/ and post?

>>214353
I know the networking effect, and that it is the single biggest obstacle in moving them away from 4chan. Saving them really is like trying to save literal sheep, who will run back into danger if they see more sheep there than the safe ground. The term "sheep for the slaughter" really couldn't suit 4channers better.

It is also why I'm trying the "Grand Opening" plan to get things started. It's more like a virtual pussikaljamiitti, an agreed place and time to get a lot of posters and lurkers to the same site all at once. It is going to make or break the future of the board, and is my last, best hope to get it running.

It's a long shot, but I really don't know what else to do. For the last 15 years the ponies have been the only good thing in my life, so I can't bear to let them die before I do.

>>212842
/mlpol/ is the most elite rarest chan for actual National Socialists, Esoteric Hitlerists, hardcore right wing nazis, discuss shit bro, we're the ones smart enough to see through all the shill garbage, stick around for the Equestrian Order, and worship the inherent racial values of Pony guiding our ideological principals for tomorrows new movement

>>214361
>I love you anons, please come to /ub/ and post?
/ub/ still dead. Checked on it the other day. I'll go back.

In related news, my DNP run is going ok. I'm a little over 2 weeks in, going to stop at 3 weeks and see how it all shakes out. Arms are looking pretty cut, still have some fluff around the middle. Supposedly after stopping you lose a lot of water weight, we'll see. Been hitting a little below maintenance calories with almost an hour of cardio 5 times a week.

>>214361
I love that place, it helped me break my addiction to human porn.

>>214370
Your 'grand opening' is going to have no more effect than when people already first learned about the site and started posting as you already used all the bait and shilling, go ahead and cap this.

And then what are you going to do, close the site and be a weak bitch and a quitter? 'networking' isnt everything and give up your messiah shit about 'how they're sheep to the slaughter needing to be saved by you' because it just makes you look like a twat and nobody wants to rally behind a shitty lazy leader with pie in the sky dreams. You made a new pony imageboard, so what? There's been tons of those already. Your leadership blows, you made a bad first impression of being a whiny faggot here about how you dont like politics and you have little more to show for it than desperation for people to get on your board repeatedly, and you continue to make bad impressions on new users. You know what that reminds me of? Those cucks on mewch shilling 8/sudo/ for years about how it's so much better and then having a 0PPH and 20 user count max. You are not going to get users by insulting them, be it from 4chan, 8chan or whatever.

>Users and UIDs
Many places on 8chan and 4cuck and other completely separate imageboards are either comfy or crawl at a snails pace, people lament the death of /mlp/ activity because all they're comparing it to is the height of the fandom so no shit it will look dead when band-wagoners and everyone else moves on besides the dedicated few. And those places are perfectly happy because they don't have some idea in their head that they cant do anything without more posters, that's what /pone/ was like before it became overly pessimistic and dead. This attitude still carries on in their drawthreads, even though /mlp/ has more /r/equests then /pone/s slow drawthread they don't have near the healthier support, organization and sense of community because it's without shitposters that are on /mlp/.

The people who want /mlp/s activity will never get it anywhere else and wont likely budge so don't bother chasing it, focus on quality and enjoyment of the users. This is the opposite of what you did, which is just free reign for anyone to dump shit on the board that people you're trying to hook would despise and walk away from. The only thing you did right was banning tripfaggotry attention whoring.

>PPH
The second option is to be like the short lived 3ch who made up for their lack of a big userbase with a strong, active and engaged community that made it great, embrace shitposting and bantz and through that you grow a bond the same as /mlp/ and /pol/ clashed forces. Make it worth coming back to daily like a mini-mlpol. But right now poni has jack for anyone to care about and the community is weakshit, you're a newfag snowflake and people will tell you to fuck off because you cant roll with the punches like how the 3ch admin did and get support you just react like you belong on reddit. You suck ass-cheese as a leader and you type like you have a punchable face.

The ideas on your board are stale or just the same thing we've seen for years like fluffies. Copy pasting non-political threads from /mlpol/ to /poni/ just shows how poni depend on other places to come up with what to talk about, and cant be self-sufficient with new interesting subjects, so there's no reason to post there when the original threads on /mlpol/ has twice as much discussion or content.

Let's compare this thread made about a spinoff town
>https://mlpol.net/mlpol/archive/res/96492.html
>made on /mlpol/ 1 year ago
>50+ replies of discussion and oc, the idea was plain but it had a fair shot.

https://poni.fun/poni/res/1271.html
>remade on /poni/ a couple weeks ago
>many are just reposts from the /mlpol/ thread
>12 replies, weak as fuck. It's just a general in another way, looks desperate to keep pushing it.

And compare these about humans never being accepted in Equestria by Celestia's decree.
>https://mlpol.net/mlpol/res/203906.html
>Many users get in on the fun, and some roleplay which would be banned on /mlp/
>70 replies not bad for a prompt in a community a fraction of 4chan, it's still going.

>https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/33661326/#33661326
>some are just reposting from the /mlpol/ thread
>nobody really cares and the thread dies in a day
>12 replies, pathetic.

Here's the things can be deduced here by observing these in the separate communities.
>Having a larger PPH and Userbase does not guarantee you shit as seen by the threads on /mlp/ vs /mlpol/
>People want new ideas they can contribute or riff off of, new things to talk about and new OC. Reposts are stale and will not engage anyone new. as seen on /poni/ and /mlp/
>Politics doesnt stop people from being passionate about pony, as seen by both /mlpol/ threads.
>Banning fun makes people less likely to post because they'll have less options to do so, conformed to anti-board culture as seen on /mlp/
>People will not get behind someone who's desperate because that person looks weak, people want a strong leader to follow and someone relatable. as seen by (not you)

>>214259
There isn't much I can add that hasn't already been addressed in far better terms by others here, so I'll just go over the few failures I've noticed right away.

⮊ Your concept is not unique. This has been explained to you already.
⮊ You and your staff do not care about the site. I will submit https://poni.fun/meta/res/50.html#51 as my evidence for this claim. Compare that to >>>/qa/ here.
If the people running the site can't be fucked to care about site functionality and QoL, why the fuck should they care to stick around?
Finally,
⮊ Nobody wants to use a site that insults them. You have constantly insinuated that the only reason the 4chan crowd won't use your site is because they either don't know about it, or are too stupid to recognize your alternative as superior.
I explained to you already (>>203013 →) why the users of 4chan won't move, not even to /mlpol/, and why they'll put up with any amount of bullshit from both staff and shitposter alike. Evidently, my post had flown over your head.
Let me tell you something. In an imagined SHTF scenario where /mlp/ gets nuked off the face of 4channel, they're aren't going to pick the first place that reaches out to them. They're going to pick the place that actually values them being here. Ask the Anonfilly crowd why they wound up here, and not simply as a /trash/ general.
This post (>>214370) right here is a perfect summary of why they won't touch poni.fun with a thirty-nine and a half foot pole. Describing 4channers as "lambs to the slaughter", while simultaneously wanting to pull them into your site? I'll tell you what my immediate two word reaction to your invitation would be: Get fucked.

>>214507
Minor correction: >>203013 → was meant to be linked to >>203254 →, my mistake.

>>214175
Stop trying to shill your degenerate board FINNISH anon.

>>214519
>Shilling for finfaggot's board
Yeah right, he didn't even have hiding functional until I specifically chewed him out on here a day ago. That just says worlds how much of a lazy shit he is when he doesnt even care about his own users.

And this isnt the first case either, for months the site was bare bones with no ability to report until he was told he's a retard. And there's shitpost threads that arent even touched left up for weeks.

He regurgitated the pony town thread from /mlpol/ onto /poni/ and cut all /mlpol/ ideas like using Fireaxe or regulating them to background cameos. Shills it on /pone/ and then largely just tries to make everything about his shitty OCs he squeezes out from pony generators. Trying to get people on 8chan to get on his dick for his project and then tells people behind their back that he hates 8chan anons while continuing to shill poni on /pone/

Put simply, he's a fucking fag

>>214500
I concur with this deconstruction. Also I love that roleplay thread about human immigration, I'm gonna lurk in it for a while~

>>214370
>For the last 15 years the ponies have been the only good thing in my life, so I can't bear to let them die before I do.
You need to lift anon and join the rest of humanity in the world. It has been prophesied, the end of MLP is nigh.

>>214575
>nigh

>>214370
A fandom doesn't have to die with its source material, but even then, who seriously does that? Who seriously relies on a single show to keep them from kermiting sudoku? Either kill yourself or find other, more permanent things to involve yourself in. Maybe take Herr Kommandant's advice here:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/wl3Edr0QTbPE/

>>214575
>>214584
Concurred. G4 MLP is coming to a close, that's inevitable and unavoidable. But the things that anon has learned and experienced isn't going away. Maybe this is the first time anon has lost something important, maybe it isn't. Letting things go while retaining the good that came from them is part of life.
>lift anon and join the rest of humanity
This. Git gud fgt
