It basically is what you thought it was, /leftypol/'s existence was cope on the 8/pol/ owner's part that /pol/ was not a right-wing safe space and that he didn't have control over any board but his own (apparently he was already a neurotic freak who demanded control over /pol/ boards and equivalents across webring imageboards, and would threaten to spam/DDOS sites and report them to feds if they didn't give him /pol/ moderation)

Eventually he lost ownership of cripplechan's /pol/ because he disallowed the word "nigger" on the board and the hypochondriac neo-nazi userbase he cultivated was so outraged they spammed the site to the point of choking its servers, it was taken from him the next morning for trying to ban the global admin from /pol/ and copy-pasting a global rule at him. When it came under admin ownership its users spent a very long time moaning that they couldn't report anybody for wrongthink anymore, and ultimately Jim Watkins trying to rebrand to 8kun and other legitimization attempts meant any kind of board with /pol/ in the name was banned for a long time

And that is the story of why anybody complaining about leftypol on 4chan is a webring imageboard reverse-migrant or their malformed offspring; they're a neo-nazi without a home
