> Personally, as a German I see way too many parallels between the current USA and the pre-1933 Germany for my liking I don't have much else to say that's worth arguing about. I just wanted to say that I acknowledge that you ha

I guarantee you that if the guideline documents in TFA came to the attention of Twitter, they'd already be dated, and somebody would start righteous-indignation-tweeting to get their personal army to boycott Nature until they change it

Everyone's gonna tell you this is fully explained by nostalgia and various cognitive biases, actually, cuz that's what we do hyea. But I'll back you all day. I know they literally can't hear it, but I always have the urg

Ok. I don't think I disagree with anything you wrote. But you seem to just assume that "Kiwi Farms does/did such an such to so and so" is a fitting description of events that, just for example, a court of law would reach

I know. I see it. And I don't know anymore how to tell people the emperor has no clothes. On odd numbered days I think the culture is going in a dangerous direction that will lead to unintended consequences. On even numbered days I thi

Your experiment is the first interesting argument I've found in this whole accursed thread. As someone who gets triggered by child abuse, thinking about it forced my mind past the Cloudflare issue to what is my real issue, and the whol

If people make things up, they're doing so against the written rules. I'd link to it, but the site is under a DDoS attack being very proudly and loudly organized by an individual they believe fits said narrative. The gist is: &quo

It's been documented by very angry, frustrated people who feel personally attacked. I don't trust people with all of their own skin in the game to tell the truth. I expect them to say whatever they have to. People have been going

Lol. I know, right? But there aren't many of us old-school "The Internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it" types left anymore. And sometimes it feels like we're getting run outta town. We always knew

So, this was 100% a false flag, there's not even a question. The caller did give the user name of a current moderator. That mod didn't even know what happened until people told them like hours later. Nobody on KF thinks it was the

Oh ok. That makes some sense.

I'd link to the thread, but the farms are presently under ongoing DDoS attack at the behest of one 'Keffals', noted Twitterninja and the Fastest Ratio-er in the Wild Wide Web. They have been having some trouble with n00bs t

I can sort of see the "barely understand" part being relevant if I squint. Really don't know how "megacorp subscription" relates to a tool's toolhood.

Ahah. One of my peeves about the streaming era is having to squint at the thumbnails to make sure it's the genuine article.

LOL! This is very gratifying in a kind of egotistical way. Myself and some close friends (artists, musicians, game developers) have always, always found 'content' too disgusting to ever utter. If we have to, we pronounce it "

> Kiwi Farms is a ball of hate just like the Daily Stormer is. That's some prime wordsmithing. Read it one way and it's debatably true or at least truthy. Read it another way and it's false. Confuse the two and the reader

I can certainly understand how that would be upsetting. I'm sure you understand that KF isn't about respecting.... anybody. At all. They are as irreverent as anything I've ever seen. But yes, they're attacked almost excl

You probably aren't meaning to, but you're spreading outright lies that always originate with people who are mad at the Kiwis. This is just plain made up. Maybe you're thinking of 4chan circa 2004. Maybe you think all interne
