The internet of the past is gone. It will never come back.

This is probably the only place that truly embodies the spirit of it.

While there is freedom, there is also morality.

What era are we talking here because it's questionable if it represents any of them.

1.0 was educational and nerds with blogs. Which obviously isn't represented by a forum full of personal info on people. Private info should have been kept off the internet and KF sharing it so openly is against the spirit. Discussion was all behind a paywall on usenet where experts trolled you via e-mail.

2.0 is social media defined by anonymous users on 4chan. KF isn't anonymous and has post histories so that's not in the spirit of the peak of 2.0. I saw KF posters earlier calling people's opinions invalid because they didn't have a year old account. Anons left forums because of that mentality and their cultural impact defined the 2.0 era more than any other group.

What spirit does KF represent you think fits? You can say nigger and faggot but is that really the spirit of either era?

You clearly aren't an oldfag and have no understanding of the culture/spirit of the times when you consider "revenge rating" a post. Is your idea of the old internet screen caps you found on r/4chan or creepy pasta youtube videos?

You unilaterally conjured up two sets of characteristics that you claim defines periods in internet history and because every single aspect of Kiwi Farms doesn't fall perfectly into one of the categories YOU invented, his nostalgia must be fraudulent?

Stop being a faggot.

Define those eras then genius. Usenet/Slashdot with dotcom bubbles and then 4chan /b/ and later /pol/ defined the internet culture of the period.

Lmao look at you fools arguing.

It's quite easy. The less corporate the earliest internet you remember was, the older you are.

The downfall of this shit was corporate realizing there might be money in it. Long after came the .com bubble and all that jazz. Now it's more than a quarter of a century later and you sign up to corporate entities to protect you from other ones, and also the governments of your country.

This used to be a place where who you were irl didn't matter, now who you are is all it does.

/b existed before /pol, and 2.0 is before the advent of smartphones, aka pre 2010.

What about the Scientology raids? I'd count that as a mainstream impact, guess what? /pol didn't even exist then. You'd know that if you weren't a teenaged altright numpty.

/b/ at it's biggest never reached the number of users or amount of spreading content as /pol/ did at it's biggest. /b/s memes are all dead now, while Pepe and Wojak are the only 4chan memes relevant any more.

Is that clearer?

Bella was bullying Fiona, pretending to be her friend, whilst milking her for the lulz. Being autistic sucks because it can be hard to see people's true motivations.

I don't think Fiona needs any kind of protection, she seems to be enjoying her short page in Christory - indeed, anonymizing it is doing her a disservice in many ways. It seems pretty clear Bella wanted to use the recording for blackmail material on Chris and didn't care ONE BIT about what was happening to Barb. Fiona stepped up and did the right thing.

Fi shouldn't be discouraged from hanging out online and doing what normal 19 year olds do. Having terrible taste in guys and acquiring a network of orbiter creeps is part of the learning process. She's pretty, in a weird autistic way. She's self-aware. She got played. She's getting over it.

She ain't the one eating hamsters for breakfast.

I'd send her a medallion for her efforts, if she didn't already have one.

Is your favourite colour "Lavender" by any chance? I'm more of a wisteria or tyrian man myself.
