I remember when Null posted a discussion a few months ago about how banks should be regulated. I found it odd that everyone in that thread was agreeing with him instead of making fun of him for using a site like this to push an agenda.
Banks are an imminent threat to the ability to run "a site like this," though I still think the safe harbor panicking was pretty silly.
thats because youre reading gay faggot threads about pants shitting childrens entertainers. Threads that attract teens and women will become that
The correct observation, Kiwifarms has a pretty unique microcosm of entirely different populations interested in different things and styles of content. /pol/ types migrated to articles and bump into wamen in threads about tranny horrorcows as uber alles, wamen who mainly aggregate around the Salon and more socially apt dramacows rather than the turboautist ones, though there's some overlap that leads them to bump into old-fashioned cowtippers, etc. etc.
You mostly see certain avatars and names in certain places. Rather than the "entire site going downhill," as anonymous imageboard users tend to say, you are seeing Kiwifarms
grow to include retard shit babies who gossip about letsplayers.
Another way to look at it is that the content of the site has branched out. The natural resilience of forums is
subforums, the ability to grow in different directions safely. It's a bit like separate boards on 4chan or another imageboard in some ways, not in others. People are interested in different things - they will separate and share only tangential similarities. Board culture was replaced by site culture because anonymity encourages conforming to mass behavior, even though one might expect the opposite.
Forums, on the other hand, while Something Awful always was as Awful as people are used to it being today, on account of "lol he paid to post on a forum" mainly, it didn't become the goon tranny tard haven until the moderation started stepping in and preferencing people of that caliber, and the content they produce.
Don't start bailing from KF until half the cow threads get axe for being too much of a risk "to their health," or the wamen start trying to chase out the incels from the entire site when they accidentally cross paths, or vice versa.
Just making fun of each-other and establishing pecking orders when people click onto a thread in a section they don't frequent like this is healthy and normal.
I find it interesting how rare true forums are, these days, and I think even people who have been on the internet a while have had some decades to forget what they are like.
