Disagreeing on this, anything that adds a barrier in the way of posting makes it that much more annoying to post. An anonymous image board should not have this. Even if most regular users do not leave, there will still be a good amount that do and you'll just be left with more shitposters, schizos, and other dregs than anybody worth a damn.
he doesnt know about /qa2/
Marge, doesn't that have worse antispam personal info grooming than the 'cuck?
Are you retarded? As long as you've ever made a single post anywhere on 4chan, you wouldn't even notice that this "barrier" is there, if it wasn't for the pinned post. Unless you're a phoneposting faggot with a dynamic IP or something.
You've been here for two weeks. I'm not sure if you'd be happy with any existing platform.
and before I could even reply you double posted with this.
Are you really this schizo? Unlike 4chan which seems to have no trouble staying up even after endless negative media attention over the years, all it took to nearly destroy the farms was a few rabid retards to be very obsessed with destroying the site and Josh for being responsible for it's continued existence. I see nothing that shows Moon as a protected figure nor the farms as a place particularly important to glowies. Not that there aren't a few fed or fed adjacent users, you'd be lucky to find a site with a five-digit userbase and up that wouldn't, but it's not a goldmine of a honeypot like 4chan is, with the most dumbassed of it's userbase genuinely believing that they're anonymous, even posting without so much as a vpn at a minimum, and thus professing to crimes and threatening violence on politicians. The most criminal people that have come to KF usually are it's detractors, with the rare user like FuckYou, aka couch cuck, but I don't think he even confessed to what he was going to do here.
I'm pretty sure Jersh had a nasty break-up with Watkins years ago. He still hates Watkins to this day
Yep. You've quite literally needed only that thing, because rooting out spambots and samefag raiders is quite easy on it's own with that thing, and for some reason they felt like making your life harder.
That's my problem: they make up a token solution that potentially allows them to gather more data on the users, and it fails because any dedicated autist will break your protections no matter what you do, and continue to moderate the site in the most awful of ways, killing off the userbase and what fun we used to have.
KiwiFarms isn't a perfect platform, with jannies having the occassional meltdown or the owner being a sperg that wants to bash every animeposter's skull with a hammer, but your complaints feel unreasonable. Reactions do not affect posts in any way and allow you to share your opinion in 1 click without shitting up the thread, and talking about glowniggers in general requires more substantial evidence and theorycrafting, something this site currently lacks. (Unless you're willing to discuss various edgy teens calling for death or terrorism, but it's more likely that they're little shits or users that dislike KF than full-blown feds).
Moot probably realised the entirety of the internet was going sideways and heading down this controlled corporate path. It's probably worse than he foresaw as he jumped ship.
Exactly. There are no greener pastures. It's not just that there's nothing like it, it's that the internet it came from no longer exists.
Disagree, it's another layer of inconvenience to posting on 4chan, at best a lazy attempt to mod the site without actually doing anything active and at worse a malicious attempt to fuck with the userbase.
You're probably aren't wrong entirely but this super wide scope and scattershot approach isn't helping.
I think there would be a great opportunity for someone like Null who has the skill to apply what he has learned to keep this site up, to host an imageboard. I know he used to be the admin of 8Chan. KiwiChan has a good ring to it.
Oh gee, that would work so well. I bet it won't be flooded with schizos and pedophiles immediately, to the point where he just throws in the towel!
You could apply that same logic to KiwiFarms itself. You are right though, i'm sure managing this place is hard enough.
When AIs get powerful and smart enough to instaban all schizos and spammers relying on the same tricks and buzzwords, then you'll see imageboards prosper again. As far as it stands, Null's already got a handful of troubles when managing this place, and wouldn't want to pay 2k USD to let people shitpost about e-celebs and cows on two sites simultaneously.
The nature of a forum thankfully filters out the undesirables pretty quickly, KiwiFlare does the rest for malicious attacks.
If/when AI gets this powerful, it will be used for censorship. Schizos and spammers will still be allowed to run rampant since they're useful idiots for the jannies/feds in charge.
Have faith. If this place can get back on clearnet after trannies dropped it, so can imageboards return with AI-powered moderation. AI companies lose, like, bajillion dollars because of some autists using their proxies to generate AI ERP, and people are trying to convince you that these same technocrats are gonna get anything done.
I vehemently disagree. They seem to get automatically botted/raided these days.
