Do you like the idea of people IRL knowing you browse this site?

"hey, pal, do you like the idea of making fun of autists on the internet?"

if they said yes, then i'd tell them about kiwifarms

simple as that

When asked about it by my mom one time, I just told her it's like Ripley's Believe It or Not, but about Internet crazies (us included, because nobody's perfect). We left it at that.

My boyfriend knows, I haven't told my best friend, but I think she'll get a kick out of it if she joined or lurked. Any other friends that aren't here would probably write a call-out post about me.

If they don’t like it, fuck em.

don't ask don't tell

I've never once met a person who objected to me using Collaborative Data Services.

For casual relationships, I wouldn't care. People wouldn't know what this site even is and would care even less that I browsed it.

People I have a closer relationship with do know, though, just because they also like watching stupid people on the internet as well. I've even gotten a few to browse the website casually because there's plenty of entertaining threads posted here. It doesn't matter what everyone posts about here, because how people act in the communities I join doesn't dictate how I act as an individual.

Meh. I’ve openly browsed it before in front of some friends, and they don’t really care. As if people don’t lurk one or two strange websites to begin with.

 

[The Demon]

it's a little unnerving

I tend to lurk in the work transport but I highly doubt anybody knows what kiwifarms is. If they asked I'd just tell them it was like Reddit. Normies like Reddit.

I don't really care if anyone knows. If I were a lolcow with a thread I would be mortified, however. It should really be included as an example of rock bottom in a 12 step program.

Also: posting on kiwi farms is way less embarrassing than being on tumblr.

 

[scared sheep]

My bf knows, and I leave it at that.

And my oldest little sister, I showed her the Martina Big thread, we died laughing together.

 

[CabbageMan]

I told a RL friend of ten years. He stopped talking to me.

You guys are my family now.

 

[Leapin_Lizards_98]

My roommate (and one of my best friends) knows that I browse here, but she doesn't really know what the site consists of and that's probably for the best.

 

[Quijibo69]

Nope and don't care to.

 

[Burgers in the ass]

The guy next to me knows

 

[Doc Cassidy]

I've talked about particular cows that are funny but not the site itself because why would anyone even care

That's an excellent way to describe this site, because that's basically what it is.
Even though this site is mainly for documenting and discussing internet crazies, and the site has strict rules against trolling, a lot of people would get the impression that this site is some kind of a "cyberbully" hangout, like Encyclopedia Dramatica and 4-chan is often thought to be.

Please consider silence when dealing with people.
