Private/Direct Messages Chain Spam Issue

[Maori Kiwifruit Growers]

Maybe have a button that says "leave group and block further invites from group/ user"

 

[TV's Adam West]

It's times like these I remember what my great grandpappy told me.
"Do you really think she wants a picture of your cock because she's gonna pleasure herself to it? Okay retard."

 

[NerdShamer]

Is it just a particular group of users making the spam DM threads?

It's actually several hundred, by my estimate.

Too much effort for him.

Plus, certain people were actually doxing and (allegedly) fucking) each other

I am deeply offended I was not invited to the fucking DM chains wtf

I certainly wasn't. All I knew is that it involved the BPD girls

That don;t narrow it down. At all.

Should have known that hope for a simple solution was optimistic.

Peggy & Pissmaster, but I only heard of this secondhand

yes


Yes but you're ignoring my point. If your niche interest is so self-identifying, talking about it in KF-adjacent whatever is not any further security. If you get doxed you still get doxed. Trying to hide this is just literally impossible and will encourage people off-site where I have no control.

What I'm getting from this is that Kiwifarms has a unique online culture and discussing niche hobbies that can link back to your real identity is a terrible idea and no one can do anything about it because any alternate paths would create a disaster that isn't contained to it's own website.

Which is counterintuitive to wanting the off-topic boards to be used for such discussion. What I’m saying is, if we adjust the culture so that it’s not “cool” to pull up some Farmer’s grandma’s Facebook when he was just discussing Bitcoin and gaming PCs, then there would be less incentive to do it and it would be much less of an issue.

Idk, man. Some of the greatest threads imaginable was caused by an personal army request gone wrong

I’m not saying to not pull out the sauce when someone is being a faggot. It’s just that, if Josh wants people to use KF more like social media (which is kind of how the off-topic boards operate), then there has to be a reaction of “that’s not cool” when someone does in when it’s uncalled for.

Yeah, but opsec will always be an thing and most people don't have much in the way of personal morals when it comes to revenge doxxing.

I don't disagree, but what is the solution? He has a point on it just happening on splinter sites and other places once they compare your KF history with your other identities. Only difference is they can't bother you HERE specifically. It doesn't change anything except the location of your dox.

That is true and always will be true, and I’m not suggesting a solution to it. The thing that can change is peoples’s reactions to when it happens.

Nowhere else really has a platform for that kinda thing except maybe doxbin, and even then they don’t have an audience like KF does.

how hard is it exactly to just post about your hobbies without doxing yourself?

When it's incredibly niche or involves an easily identifiable image

 

[The Cheese Aisle]

I'm in one group that is all or mostly women afaik

Oh god pls invite me. I’m either in KF coed DM’s or radfem discord groups rn and I don’t fully fit into either. I wanna talk about my period but I don’t wanna talk about Andrea Dworkin that much

 

[JustSomeDong]

I was invited to a "Boss Nigger Rape Chamber" chain, despite having little interest in either rape or boss niggers.

But I'm okay with it, there were funny posts and lulz were had.
