Why Do You Post on Kiwi Farms? - DEEP THOTS

I do because it's the veritable frontier bar. You're free to say whatever whenever, and if your hot take is truly exceptional, the crowd will take care of any lynching such opinions deserve. Funny how just letting people speak can often be a better means of regulating things than invidious top-down control.
 
I like sharing my art here more than on actual art sites because the Farms are the only place I can get some actual criticism from; and I post on here because it's the only place to get some decent news, and I despise how sanitized and "welcoming" the internet has become.
 
I have the potential to become a lolcow due to my mental health issues. I do not want to become a lolcow. I use this site to show myself what I could become, and then take steps to not become that.
Indeed, so many cautionary tales to read here.

I also come here because it's an unfiltered free speech platform, like shamash said. I've lurked here for a while before registering.

REASONS I POST ON KIWI FARMS
It's tolerant to Far Right thought without being a degenerate hateful ideological circlejerk like purpose-built Far Right forums are. It's of a sort of medium scale where there's enough content to spend time on it pretty much any time you look on while still being able to recognize certain regular users and keep up with goings-on (kind of like a bar that's busy but has regulars).

REASONS I POST ON INTERNET FORUMS IN GENERAL
On Internet forums you can have conversations about any subject you want, start them when you want, walk away from them when you want. It's less of a substitute for normal human interaction than it is a complement, you can discuss stuff that maybe people in your life aren't interested in. You can also talk about personal problems behind a veil of anonymity. I also learn a ton from here and from absorbing other people's ideas. People on forums have a lot of expertise in random subjects and they bring up esoteric information you don't get from the Great Satan that helps form a richer understanding of the world. It can go too far in encouraging paranoia/expecting armageddon, but I feel genuinely better off getting the perspective of A&N and Happenings.
 
i just mostly lurk. i dont really have extreme or shocking controversial opinions that one (at least on this site) would find particularly intriguing. i doubt i will post much, but it is interesting to read what others share on this forum.-

Lurked for best part of a year. Decided to register. Place reminds me of what the internet once was before iPhone's and social media destroyed anything remotely unique and interesting. Went to reddit. Thought that was cool, until furry mods started treating their respective r/'s as little theifdoms of faggotry. Came off all social media in 2016, and haven't looked back since.

You get a good level of discussion here. Pretty varied also. It's a good place to keep up with news and general happenings in the world too. This place is like 4chan, but less schizophrenic.
 
This is the only forum I'm found where being "gender critical" isn't against the rules. I mostly lurk the SRS and trannies in the media thread, no other forum I visit would allow anything like that.
 
I am interested in abnormal psychology and am a dirty gossip.

I always veered towards “edgy”/offensive comedy, as it is the funniest and laughing at bad things releases pressure.

General issues with authority.

My daddy taught me no one gives a fuck about your feelings and he was right, though people seem to deny this objective reality these days.

Schadenfreude.

I respect radical honesty and hate victim mentality.

Mr. Spock observed that “in an insane world, a sane man must appear insane.” I felt that.

Mostly because “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it” is one of my personal defining morals.
