I came here mostly because the other places I frequent wouldn't allow discussion of certain topics—particularly those related to transsexuality. I'm not sure why that was the topic that brought me here, but it might have to do with how many transsexuals I've seen popping up over the years. The concept behind transsexuality and what it seeks to bring about also motivated me to start posting, so as to better-formulate my thoughts and give myself an outlet.

I quite often posted on numerous, "Free Speech" message boards in the past, but since the 90s, they're depleted a bit. I recall losing one friend I knew many years ago to Something Awful back in 2001 or so, liked the activity there. More activity than the board we met in the 90s. Social media killed off a lot of boards, as time went on. Still nice to see KiwiFarms out there, and similar, still keeping some of that older, un sanitized internet alive.

Also, consolidation of internet. I also find it funny to see how terms changed. I recall watching a documentary about how certain terms get changed for political use, etc, and it does remind me of other things that have crept up on me. Such as how PM became DM. DM always equaled DeathMatch, at least to me. So, it's a way of saying it's no longer private, just, "Direct". That does scare me a bit, how people let this shit creep up on them, and also, how younger people who did not know any better about certain things, just accept new shit being introduced, new terms of language, as though that is how it has always been. Very easy to do with younger people who never knew anything better. So much has changed with internet in the past 20 years.

I sometimes catch myself asking why I am here. As a kid I always thought cyberbullying and the like was wrong.

But then I see just how borked online communities make people, how some get lost in delusions that are fed by those around them in the spirit of "support".

I post here to remind myself that it could have easily happened to me. Maybe I could prevent it from happening to someone like I was - should they see this sanctuary of free speech and thought. The people who have threads here deserve to be here, and serve as a reminder of what not to do.

But in all honesty the culture and comradery of this site feels like home, much more than any other form of social media.

I started lurking here to get updates on CWC, Dobson and Yanderedev, I never really intended to make an account, once Joe Biden became candidate, I said to myself "If this old man who can barely make coherent sentences somehow becomes the next president I'll make an account" and well I'm a man of my word.

Also I can say nigger here without getting banned

Aside from the freedom of speech this place offers it feels like the last "authentic" forum community left online. Message boards, especially during the "Wild West" days of the internet pre social media, offer a sense of community and socialization you can't get from places like Twitter and Reddit. I still have many long time friends I met on forums years ago I still talk to today while most people I met on social media I lose contact with quickly. Ironically for something with the word "social" in it participating on social media feels extremely isolating and lonely compared to forums.

Also this place is equal opportunity with ripping on lolcows regardless of their political leanings or social status. Members aren't afraid to call out other users when they're being shitty people unlike other places.

It's ironic how a site that is accused of being a cyber bullying stalker site is more accepting than most other places online.

Kiwifarms and Twitter are like two sides of the same coin. Thanks to certain communities I'm in, I encounter many chronically online Twitter-type people often. And I simply got tired of that culture--oversensitivity, no sense of humor, hive mindset, political gatekeeping, trigger warnings, tone indicators, etc.
I'm not mad at the internet, believe me I still enjoy those communities to a certain degree.
Kiwifarms is the other side of the coin--still retarded but in a more sensible way. And not offended by basically anything. I like it.

Oh yeah, why did I start posting. I had stuff to say lol

I'm new to Kiwi Farms but your reputation gets around. Initially, I thought this site was strictly left-wing in slant. But over the last few days I now see it runs the spectrum of political thought - from left to middle to right.

That said (and since I'm a member of several other forums) I will rank the forums I know from "most free speech" down to the least:
