I have no defense for KF. For every 9 interesting and fun posters we have we attract at least 1 gigantic dickhead trying to use the farms for attention or vengeance. It's inevitable on a site that collects information on people. However, saying you're a redditor is also tainted by horrid misdeeds if you take into account how many people's lives have been influenced by someone posting a problem then reddit brigading them or the person causing the problem, as well as Aimee "delete everything mentioning my dad being arrested for kidnapping and raping a teen girl" Chandlor's moderation spree.
Call us spawn of satan, but think about whether you should throw that stone first.
Edit: I should add that I'm not going to defend the farms because the farms speak for themselves. If you read a post that says "Hey guys, I'm going to troll them IRL by sending them pizzas and my toenail clippings" and cannot fucking see the 20 people calling said person an utter moron and the mods telling them off then I can't fucking help you. Turns out reading the farms tells you what people here are like. And if you're too worried to read unacceptable thoughts on the internet, maybe your convictions aren't as strong as you hoped for and you might have to start questioning what others tell you more.
I'll fucking defend the farms. This retarded fucking backwater site has somehow become the battleground where "soft power" has finally stopped working. Look at all the retarded shit Null has to deal with to keep this thing afloat. DDOS, payment providers, services not working with him; all of this is the result of the same attitude someone takes when they tell you "
We don't do that here". An implicit threat to stop, leave or be removed. I don't need to explain to the people here that this exists all over the internet today, bit it can be summed up the this image
Do you think the kiwi farms would be dealing with any of this shit if null played by the rules of soft power? If all kiwi farms was was a government approved list of good goys and bad goys, with all sources referring to approved journalism all often backed up by soft power? If anyones thinking "that kinda sounds like wikipedia talking about political people", Bingo. That's exactly it.
Do you have any fucking clue how hard it would be to explain to say, your aunt what someone like keffels is like without having Kiwi Farms as a source? All of the "sources say" and "fact-checked as false" don't matter when I can, in about 4 minutes, pull up a literal video of Keffels saying "I want to give DIY HRT to minors". The alternative? Random 4chan anons? Banned reddit accounts? Best case scenario is a YouTube video, but even that breaks YouTube harassment rules.
I will, until the day I die say that if we live in a dystopian hell world where our worst fuck ups, mistakes, rumors, beliefs, et cetera are on for display, then that has to be a reality for everyone. That's the fundamental basis of a civil society. It sure has hell shouldn't be on the whims of fucking political groups, gay ops dox servers or fucking
