This is small potatoes, obviously, but KF has made my life significantly better.
When I was a teenager, me and my friends were groomed online by a woman twice our age who convinced us she was a medium channeling the ghost of Michael Jackson. There was a lot of embarrassing and awful stuff that happened as a result and it totally demolished our friend group. For nearly a decade afterwards I was so ashamed and scared of people finding my past that I had real nightmares about losing all my friends. Then that groomer went on to become a proper lolcow and got her own thread, and my past WAS dug up...but it didn't actually end the world. The kiwis here reassured me that it wasn't my fault, and I learned about how my groomer effectively ruined her own life. Where I expected the worst, I found compassion in its place, and one of my worst fears was finally faced and conquered all thanks to KiwiFarms.
I also made some great friends here! During some "the site's going down forever, abandon ship, it's so over" moment, someone posted a link to a Discord in a thread I follow and I joined. There were only like 3 other people in it, so the four of us ended up becoming really good friends. When the one of us in a different country came to visit the other two that lived together, I came up and stayed for a week and all four of us had a fantastic time! I made some awesome memories with some awesome people and still have mementos from that trip all around my computer! I can't wait to see them all again someday! To think, we never would've met or become friends if we hadn't all been using KiwiFarms at the right time.
I love KF! This site has enriched my life way more than some bullshit website like Twitter or Instagram ever has. I think that's deserving of a spot on the Nice list!
