Private/Direct Messages Chain Spam Issue

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.

I get one alert, catch up with the thread, then the alerts happen again.
Sometimes when you don't catch up with it enough it won't get marked as read and then you stop getting notifications and you're not even aware. It's most reliable to just look at the sidebar on the front page. Alternatively, go to What's new > New posts, and filter it to watched content only. You can set the filter as default so it always only shows latest posts in watched content.
 
First they came for the faggot, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a faggot.

Then they came for the furry ERPers, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a furry ERPer.

Then they came for the DMfags, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a DMfag.

Then they came for me—and there was no stickers to look for me.
 
They exist to provide instant feedback and a level of self-moderation. It shouldn't be something anyone actually covets, but it might inform you that what you're saying is not a part of zeitgeist or conversely is very interesting.
That makes a reaction score a tally of the public perception of your views over time. Why would it surprise you that people care how they are perceived?

It's your site, you obviously will do what you want with it but I don't understand deliberately killing features that drive engagement on your site.
 
I think this is less of a "You" issue and more of a "If i power level about things I like too much some autistic sperg might be able to cross reference things to reveal more about my power level."

I've had that thought a few times and waffle on posting certain things about a subject, it's probably retard level autism to think that way...buuuut this is the Kiwi Farms.
In particular, the users who like to dox other users for fun would be a concern.
Regardless, that’s the issue. Talking about your interests can get you doxed.
Anyone who uses a direct message chain for security by obscurity is a fool. It's surprising how more people here don't keep track of everything they reveal about themselves. Anyway, just do what I do and reveal only the hyperfixations. None of you are my friend.

Damn, I very nearly had an average of seven points per post.
 
Why is kiwifarms asking for push notifications now? Never seen that before
I am contemplating enabling.. this...

You can still view your reactions, it's just not publicly available anymore.

HOW ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO MEASURE MY EPEEN?
I remember watching the drama that happened on one forum when ratings was enabled, now I get to watch forum drama where the ratings get removed. I feel strangely old.
 
With reaction scores now gone, I can power level all I want without fear of losing internet points.

When I first saw the kiwifarms, I thought everyone with True and Honest™ were all jannies. I didn't know why a website would needed an army of jannies. Though after seeing all the madness spawned from stickers and dms, maybe we do need an army.
