I liked the image board format. 4chan's design with Hexbear moderation would be my ideal social media site.

is that not what leftypol is? idk I can't stand the format

Their culture sucks a lot worse than ours. It's not as bad as 4chan proper (which I haven't used in over a decade because of how bad it is) but there are enough endemic bad takes that I can't stand leftypol either.

I wonder to what extent the format itself informs how the culture develops.

Superstructure: website culture

Base: website format

In the same way that Hexbear was formed from Reddit refugees, leftypol was formed from 8chan refugees, and 8chan was probably the worst large site on the internet while it was operational. I don't hate leftypol but I have a pretty thick skin, wouldn't expect most people to want to deal with that culture

I think I remember there being ideas of a hexbear adjacent image board in the youth of the site but that never panned out sadly
