8chan

An anonymous imageboard that was formerly home to /leftypol/. Founded by the free speech advocate Frederick "Hotwheels" Brennan in 2013. Shut down in 2019 after an alt-right spree killer posted his manifesto.

Formerly home to a number of leftist boards:

• /leftypol/ -- see the article for more details; the biggest leftist board on 8ch and imageboards in general.
• /leftpol/ -- a split-off board which was created due to a dispute over moderation on /leftypol/.
• /marx/ -- an M-L aligned board which was intended to have a 'higher tone' and more educational content.
• /libcom/

Its main successors (in the context of leftism):

• Bunkerchan /leftypol/ -- the successor board to /leftypol/.
• leftypol.org -- an alternate board which is intended to have looser moderation policies.
• /leftychat/ Matrix -- the official Matrix chat for Bunkerchan's /leftypol/
• #bunkerchan @ irc.rizon.net -- chatroom; slow, but fairly private. Just click the link to start chatting. No registration needed
