  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
An issue I find with A&N is that it's dwellers forget that one should not get emotionally involved with the internet. Laugh, make an insult and move on. It's not that hard.
Sorry to get all downer and crabby about it, but I feel like this is a wider issue not just with A&N but with the site culture as a whole. Sure it was always designed as a place to observe and discuss the oddities of the internet, but I see people going from "Wow they did what? What a hilarious whackjob! What's going to happen next?" to "This disgusting hellspawn of flesh and blood is everything WRONG with society and why my idealized plan of utopia is the salvation of mankind, which I will now describe in the next 4 paragraphs of this post." Then again I'm also guilty of politisperging at times so maybe I'm just a hypocrite. I guess I just wish there was less ranting and dissecting of "society's ills" and more memes and shitposting because someone stuck a rubber chicken up their ass or whatever.
 
I'm afraid to invite people because I have no control over how much of a sperglord some people can be.

Many zoomers are taught NOT to use infosec and leave a strong internet trail to show accountability and show who you are to employers. Many school projects force you to dox yourself on publically accessable pages. They are not taught infosec at all. I was not, I learned it myself because I'm not retarded.

It's the saddest and truest thing posted.
 
To the same crowd, the ultimate plan was to begin open discrimination against Reddit, Twitter, 4chan and Discord users to destroy the influence of other websites on A&H. I stand by this step as being necessary for the health of the board and KF as a whole. The actual number of those people was (before April/May this year anyway) much smaller than I had anticipated, this plan could have worked had registration stayed closed.

Makes no difference now, anyway.


You lied straight to my face and still won't own up to it even after you've won. I was right about you, go fuck yourself.
Have sex and kill yourself.

All you're doing is encouraging the same "us vs them" thinking that many of those websites use to keep people away from looking at KF in the first place. Not sure you thought that plan all the way through.
 
hey guys look i'm a 2013 join date user and because of that all of my posts are quality posts. every. last. one. of. them.

but yeah, the newfags have been kinda horrendous lately, i don't blame nool for keeping registration down
 
Vernor Vinge wrote True Names in 1981, about a decade before the web even started to take shape. The idea of staying anonymous (pseudonymous, really) to avoid being killed, captured or controlled is featured prominently.
There have been cases during the CB radio craze of vigilante mobs trying to find someone who was shitposting on CB Radio channels to beat them up. Anonymous shitposting and doxing is probably as old as any form of remote communication, it's just the frequency of it has gone up since more and more people have access to it.
 
It took like 3 years before I decided to make an account. Lurked a lot to make sure I didn't make an ass out of myself - at least worse than I still did.

Nowadays, newfags are a more retarded breed. I'm surprised we aren't seeing more personal army requests from lil timmy that got his feefees hurt because they were called a faggot online by some mouthbreather sjw like we had around the time Chris Chan went back into the spotlight.

It was like every day. Knock on wood though.
