I was one of the first posters on this board, even have one of the T shirts from that time merch happened. Gotta ask, what's the site been like for the past 4 years? I'm amazed how active it still seems. Any crazy drama or happenings? Last I remember /mlpol/ nearly won the /pol/ cup, and that shit was hilarious to watch.

Can't comment on drama since im not here often somehow it is just a little to slow for my taste. But i still love it when i do come here. Mlpol has the most successful team in /pol/eague history. Aryanne is still the best Pony in mlp history.

Ah man I can't do that, I wish you guys luck though. I've fucked around on the internet too much in the past 10 years, and I gotta take the real world seriously. I've gone from being a weird ass 17 year old to a functioning adult who can at least put up the facade of normalcy, hopefully long enough to get a wife and start pumping out white kids. Just glad to see something from the past still alive, I feel like everything I liked on the internet has been shoa'd.

The whole internet was censored and mlpol still stands, so people stream in when they find the place. I'm a refugee from reddit and daily kos of all places. Whether you guys are ironically pretending to be nazis or serious, this board is more tolerant of differing opinions and has more intelligent geopolitical conversation in between the pony porn than most places. I just want to talk about the news without getting banned for having opinions that Obama campaigned on, and there are damned few places to do that these days.

Brings a tear to my eye, that's what I wanted to see it become. This is what the internet was meant to be, weird little communities like this, not giant cesspits like Twitter or Reddit. This site is really the perfect thing, I remember how back on that April first everyone said /pol/ needed the horsepussy to keep it from being overwhelmed by retards, and lo and behold.

Really? Woah, that's crazy. I didn't think we got refugees from anywhere, at least of all from reddit.
Welcome!
>>348713
Huh? That's an intresting persepective. Like we on this site often hate ourselves because we're are slow compared to 4chan but this is a perspective that isn't often raised. We have talked about it but maybe, we haven't seen how good we actually have it on those fronts.

Reddit was supposed to be a hub of weird little communities but it got bought out and taken over. The new owners gave the retards admin access and had them take over all the subs and ban anyone who wasn't a retard. Have you heard about Aimee Challenor? That's the kind of person all of these sites are hiring to moderate their content.

yes place is comfy, now there is less political threads on /furi/, /mlpol/ is clearly here to stay.

>>348713
big communities tend to gather normies and they hire troons and kraut spergy mods. All niche communities, brony, furry, anime you name it.
People are the problem. People turn anything into shit.

Hehe. But skynet >>348722 has a point though.
It's almost like a social law that the more people you get somewhere the stronger the social pressure. This is why the epxression scientific community is an oxymoron because communities, especially big ones, don't have the same priorities as science which is suppose to be about truth-searching.

Idk, I watched a mad at the internet thing where Josh talked about some tranny jannies. It's just that retarded people want to feel important so they change things. They steer clear of places like this because no one would get clout by saying they ran a website for Nazi bronies.

I always thought "mlpol" was just a meme but I'm thrilled to find out that it not only actually exists, but is probably the most active natsoc imageboard at this point. It took 16chan getting shoah'd before I started looking into real altchans. Leftypol is run by ban-happy covid kikes and Frenschan is 2015 4/pol/ (at best).

We bash Reddit a lot around here, and rightly so because it's cancerous, but still; it's not like 4chan is significantly better at this point.

>>348713

This is what I think the strength of this place really is. The centralization of the internet around a few major sites is really what killed it. Not just censorship and whatnot, but that it became this yuge general-interest platform filled with normies. As soon as something fun and interesting becomes open to the general public, it always drags everything down to the lowest common denominator. What happened to the internet is the same thing that happened to punk rock and "geek" culture: you have something fun that a niche group of people enjoy, then the artfag hipsters discover it and make it a trend, then the general population discovers it, then finally it gets commoditized and ruined.

I notice a lot of modern *chan culture is made up of younger people who romanticize the old internet but clearly weren't around for it, because they don't seem to understand how it actually worked. Being on the old internet basically meant having a personal webpage with some long ridiculous geocities.com/neighborhoods/3435t3445r3/buttsex/whatever address, filled with epilepsy-inducing gifs that took forever to load. At the bottom was a counter that told you that over the past month, maybe 5 people had wandered in and read what you had to say about Star Trek. If you wanted real-time stimulation you sat in a yahoo chat with maybe 15-20 other retards trading sex jokes and SNL references. Being online meant that nobody else in the house could use the phone, so usually you were only online for an hour a day tops. That was plenty of time to read updates on whatever pages you followed, maybe bullshit with someone in a chat, and post replies in whatever message boards or usenet groups you were involved in. Then you just logged off and did whatever with the rest of your day.

I think that's what frustrates a lot of younger people, who can plainly see that the modern internet sucks and are subsequently drawn to places like this, but at the same time are addicted to the continuous dopamine rush of real-time engagement. They like this place, but get frustrated because it's "too slow." However, the slowness is part of the appeal. The old internet was fun because it was made up of thousands of tiny sites offering niche content, that only appealed to people who were interested in that specific content. This site has the same appeal: we don't have to worry about being invaded by normies because the site revolves around niche topics that don't appeal to most people. This means that the content is better; however, it also means that there will be less of it.

In my view this place is the ideal model of what the internet used to be and what it could be again, if anons could free themselves from the dopamine dependency on immediate (You)s. Instead of a huge centralized bazaar with thousands of people shouting at each other at once, the internet should be a network of small niche sites with small but dedicated userbases. The kind of place where you can refresh the main page each morning, skim updates to the threads you're interested in, make replies where appropriate, and then go on and do something else with the rest of your day. That's my two cents, anyway.

Moderation is also something people forget about. I had to be reminded when looking at the history of the PPP, when they avoided getting taken over by SJW's with community guidelines. Then remembering about some Derpy debacle from the early fandom. MLP is the only community other than GamerGate to reject SJW control. and even the gaming communities eventually got controlled centrally. MLP is on the top of the list when is comes to resisting SJW control. This might sound purely political, until you remember what reddit, discord, and tumblr look like. Moderation can ruin an entire site. having MLPOL made and operated by anons, for anons, is a big deal.

That's an intresting perspective.

Thats why this is a superior homeboard tho. It allows for and touches on all the big ticket items, while allowing also for more niche interests/pursuits with the off boards. Its a perfect hub in the making, in that everything begins and ends with ponies and the gassing of jews

I would say this is largely true. Gab is one of the other big ones out there and more obvious of a target. There are not many other places of free speech.
Matrix, some other smaller places. Still baffles me why other people don't use such platforms, its not like they are hidden or that most don't even know about such things. I guess people just prefer to complain about things rather than post where there is free speech.

I haven't been around because been exceptionally busy. Lots of stuff happening, no time to talk about such things, only act.
The soap saga is continuing though, and I haven't forgot about you guys. I have some really cool (mostly soap) things to talk about, some of which I can't say till there is an official statement from the other parties involved.

nah m8, gab is just free speech for rightoids of a very specific pressing. If you want free speech you have to dive into the wild west of the ActivityPub Fediverse (Pleroma, Mastodon, etc)

It didn't matter if we are real nazis or fake ones. Like a fucking shitty isekai, a bunch of retarded degenerates found themselves in a secret war way over our heads. We're about as pure and white as hitler was blonde and blue eyed, but we're here all the same, fighting so that our waifus will smile at us.
