US Politics is killing discussion on Sup Forums. Every thread from /lit/ to Sup Forums is completely infected by Sup Forums. No thread can stay on topic for longer than a few posts before a political argument breaks out. Who gives a shit? At least on reddit if you go to a literature or technology sub the posters stay on topic.
As far as I can see boards like Sup Forums and /vr/ that are more niche are able to stay on topic for longer. I suspect they also have more heavy handed rules and mods. Could boards like Sup Forums benefit from stricter moderation to cut down the toxic levels of shitposting?

no

>wanting politics in a technology board Go to pol and please take the commies with you
Evan Gonzalez
Yup. Sup Forums and MRA manchildren need to go.
Nathan Sanchez
I agree but Sup Forums isn't the board to discuss this.
Joseph Mitchell
I was the main Commie in Sup Forums arguing my points in that one thread, I only did it to make them shut up so, I just want to go on Sup Forums without seeing Sup Forums fucking everywhere I go
Jackson Thompson
I sure hope something gets done soon.
Those Sup Forumstards with their far right spam just can't stay on their fucking containment board for some reason.
Carson Ramirez
>, I only did it to make them shut up
Yeah you made some real convincing points
Angel Ward
What needs to happen is a strict new rule for Sup Forums that bans politics and moves any political spam to Sup Forums so we can focus on Technology, I come on Sup Forums cause I left Sup Forums cause it was an everyday headache, so I left and now it's creeping it's way to my favorite board Sup Forums, it hasn't been this bad in the 3 years I've been on Sup Forums. I go on Sup Forums for technology not another headache, any and all posts that aren't strictly about Technology should get perma bans from Sup Forums
Hudson Jackson
Politics is an inherently normalfag interest and anyone who wants to discuss it needs to fuck off.
Cameron Anderson
Keep up the good fight comrade, half bakes defenses of communism are the way to go!
Brayden Gonzalez
This is the real issue here. Politics takes no real investment to get into and anyone can talk about it, not well, mind you, but they can still talk about it.
Nathan Lee
All politics is cancer now. Especially since the political metagame is "Don't listen to anybody else, anyone who disagrees is an agent of The Enemy".
Jackson Adams
>A thinly veiled politics thread >I want politics out of my technology board but only the Sup Forums side of it! Technology is politically charged, just like how Weapons is. To demand we take politics out of technology is asking the impossible.
Jaxson Hughes
wrong, we want all politics out of it, I'm a Commie but when I go on here I don't want to see Commie shit I want to see the regular technology shit I saw for most of the time I've been on this board for the past 3 years, neither do I want to see Sup Forums garbage. Just recently this board has been infiltrated with Sup Forums retards constantly flooding this board with politics, it is a serious problem that should be dealt with immediatly, I come on Sup Forums for technology not a headache.
William Ross
Yes you're part of the problem, delete this thread.
Jaxon Campbell
Sup Forums could do with better moderation to filter out whining irrelevant posts like yours, which have nothing to do with this technology board

GTFO, newfag
Sup Forums has always been the home for retarded comments

>Technology is politically charged, No it isn't. You just think so because you have literally nothing in your head but identity politics and have to bring every topic around to it. The actual technology is fucking neutral.
Ryder Anderson
>this shitty argument again Just come out and say it. You only want to talk Sup Forumsshit. You don't care about technology. I see you niggers all the time, starting a thread that's tangentially related to computers only to talk about some SJW bullshit, but never about the core technology that's the real issue. If pressed to give an actual, legitimate opinion of whatever you're meant to be talking about, you hide behind your politically charged view and stay silent. You not only don't give a shit about technology discussion, you can't contribute to it without it being political. This is just a way for you to metastasize into other boards to drop your ebin redbills, failing to realize that other boards know far more about any given topic and the implications of change than you ever will. Kill yourself, apenigger. You're the cancer killing Sup Forums. Your social media recruitment bullshit bought it more newfags than fucking chanology. Politics and political activism is what ruins Sup Forums, every time it happens.

Cry more faggot
Sebastian Watson
When leftists stop infecting technology with their agenda. It is 100% the commies fault that politics is not interwened with everything.
So please when you want to say >go to Instead leave your leftist ideals of technology
Bentley Murphy
>waah every thread is infected by Sup Forums >it's not that my socjus ideas might not be grounded in reality and that the political center is now rejecting them, no, it's because 60 million americans are nazi Sup Forums posters
Get a fucking grip. Even classical liberals like myself think that socjus needs to be killed off.
Ayden Ortiz
Technology doesn't have an agenda. It's your mind that's infected.

>youtube, facebook, twitter, cloudflare, opendns, tor, mozilla and others are all in lock-step with the same far left ideology and attempting to censor any dissenting speech based on political reasons >"HERP DERP TECHNOLOGY DOESN'T HAVE AN AGENDA"
Eli Baker
This. Sadly true.
Dylan Thompson
Sup Forums crossboard general when? Just start threads on Sup Forums and link them in the designated Sup Forumseneral.
Evan Rivera
People aren't technology. You have a problem with people? Take it to Sup Forums.

Corporate politics is not technology. POLITICS GOES ON Sup Forums.
Carson Lopez
The only threads where I'm forced to acknowledge any politics are these ones that keep coming up to bitch about a non-issue.
Go find somewhere else to work your political agenda.
Brandon Watson
Corporate politics is technology when it affects the technology dumb lefty
Luke Robinson
You being triggered by corporate politics is doubly Sup Forums.
Ian Miller
You should have been fighting the moralfags back when chanology was taking root. This is what you deserve. Neck yourself moralfag enabler.

>Could boards like Sup Forums benefit from stricter moderation to cut down the toxic levels of shitposting
yes, but only in the long term.
getting there will be hell though. Assuming that Hiromoot actually does anything to make this site better in any sense, we'd need more moderators in the first place. Like enough to dedicate at least two or three for slow boards and probably anywhere from 5-10 for faster boards (like Sup Forums and Sup Forums). We'd also need way more janitors to keep a closer watch on threads and help fill in the gaps that the mod teams might have.
Secondly we need hard rules about what's "aproved" topics and where those lines blur into unacceptable/off topic posting. We can't have "mod discretion" in effect on whether a post/thread is on topic or off if they don't have a clear set of standards or guidelines to follow, or else we end up with a mod who doesn't like anime nuking every reply or thread started with an anime image, even if the body of the reply or thread IS on topic (and it's happened before, just see the constant desktop thread drama from years back)
And lastly, if we somehow get enough moderators and verse them well enough in each board's culture to get a good feel of when something is just harmless memeing and when something is intentionally derailing a thread into offtopic territory, they also need to be focused and calm enough to deal with the inevitable shitstorm that the posters whose threads they delete, time out, or outright ban will try and bring. Sup Forums is notorious for trying to flood other boards and then throwing tantrums when a mod steps in to nip it in the bud. same thing with the off topic anime posters who frequent the board. You need a mod team who can dedicate the time and energy to deal with it until the person (or persons) get tired of fighting and just leave, and that's extremely hard to come by on a volunteer basis.
So yea heavier moderation can remove a lot of problems, but it's not going to be an immediate change
Sebastian Hernandez
>i only egged them on and baited them to continue shitting up the board by doing the exact same thing to get them to stop shitting up the board
Caleb Thompson
Also fuck pooneet indians taking tech jobs in america I would say 'AMD fags BTFO' or 'jewtel is finished' with some cherry picked meaningless benchmark threads are more cancerous than a section of replies getting Sup Forums'd Keep in mind a section of this board idolizes a guy who lives with his parents and builds an OS from god to combat "CIA niggers"
Joshua Gonzalez
The problem is not having enough moderators to care about this board.
