I wonder where shit lies legally. If you are German and talk about german people on an american website that is hosted and has mostly american users, are you fucked?
Brits have gotten into problems for shitposting on Twatter/X so they CAN get into problems, as long as their government knows who they are.
Most of us non-Americans are anonymous enough that it's not worth the energy to find out who we are. Unlike people on social media using their irl name and identity.

They could ask Null for our identities, but Null would ofcourse not comply unless it's a legal request from the US government
Can anyone but US authorities subpoena the Kiwi Farms?
The government of New Zealand asked for the identities of any New Zealanders who watched the Christchurch shooting. Null just told them to fuck off. They CAN ask, but there's no reason to comply unless the servers are hosted there

At worst they can block the site locally, like how China blocks facebook
 
>dutch not listed

Yeah I kinda was mulling over creating a Dutch general talk channel. Hell, Omroep Gelderland ran a story on an influencer that forced minors to suck something. And all KF has NL related is a chat on a guy who was basically last relevant when Roddelpraat mentioned him in an aside 2 years ago.

(By the way. Your name reminds me of a student association from a long time ago)

Unless @Null could guarantee he’d ignore any subpoena from the Netherlands and tell the OM/Police to pound sand when they come knocking for IP’s, I’d be very wary doing anything NL related on here without having an account that has a throwaway email and has only ever entered the site through TOR/VPN.
 
I'm often surprised at how many swedes we are in this forum, but I guess the answer lies in our very old tradition of shitposting anonymously about fags and niggers being stolen from us when flashback turned woke.

Anyway, our thread in international clique is not that active, and the lol cows posted there are just actual retards most of the time, so I'm not sure our own board would add much of substance.
Kiwi is basically old Flashback minus the drugs.

I'll take bona fide retards like Herkko or Magmicke over generic streamer narcissists any damn day.

But most importantly: Lolcows aren't found and shared in the first place without an inviting community for the audience. Making the platform here is probably a good place to start.

Would we even have known about our lord and savior Lennart Bladh if his adventures had taken place today? There wouldn't have been a Flashback thread for sure.
 
This is all great but could we have a tool to automatically translate posts from foreign (dead) languages into American? I want to read the Drachenlord thread but I have to copy paste the posts in google translate
 
Something I'm curious about: if you get languages involved that currently trusted mods don't speak, how do you plan on getting good mods for 'em?
Null probably reviews the overall posting history for possible candidates and decides based on this. If they're proven to have some sort of presence in other-language-speaking boards, as in around 50% of their posts are other-language then it stands to reason they are selected based on this. Jannies operate based on a system of trust after all.
 
2025: Donald @Null finally creates the famous wall to spics users and white users. Kiwi Farms has a new era: Make the Cyber Wall Great Again!

THE GREAT KIWI REPLACEMENT IS UPON US.
NULL WORLD ORDER.
1984 BY 2026.
YOU WILL POST NOTHING AND BE HAPPY.
EAT THE STICKERS.
LIVE IN THE DM CHAINS.

1776 WILL COMMENCE AGAIN, JOSH SOROS!!!
 
I see internationalizing the site as a way to grow horizontally and I want to encourage it. I'll be picking some moderators that speak other languages to help facilitate this. I'm not sure what else I can do to encourage growth this way though; it has never picked up steam despite my efforts in 7+ years.
I wish there were an easier way to read about lolcows from other countries without needing to know the language
I'm going to loosen the thread creation requirements for these boards so they can have off-topic discussion and see what happens
The translate page feature on browsers works for the International Clique, for anyone interested.
These ideas all kind of go together. Most browsers these days have built in “translate this page” commands built in. I’m also interested in the new, relaxed, thread creation requirements because I’ve been lurking around International Clique for years, browsing where I can understand & translating via browser or device where needed.

I’ve got a thread idea that I’d like to try, where those with language skills can practice. For example, say that any number of site members speak multiple languages & would like more practice in any given language? I have been playing around with an idea of making a thread, or threads, (or anyone can make the threads) where people can learn from native speakers. My second language is German, I don’t have many people to practice with, I’d like to get to a state where I’m more fully fluent in reading, writing, & speaking. It would be cool to have a place here where the users can have a common language, such as English, to help work on the desired language, in my case German, with native German speakers, all in a thread where it’s not shitting up a main cow thread.

It would be really fuckin’ cool to have threads like that for multiple languages. To practice sounding native or close to. I’d make use of these types of threads for German, French, & Spanish. I have a firm grasp of basic grammar in English, & at least the basics of German, Spanish, & French, & I could conversely offer help to people with basic English structure, or super basic German /Spanish/ French, for other learners. This type of thing could bring more traffic to an international site area. Interested in thoughts on this type of language development thread, please?

I thought of this because one thing that often stops me from posting in IC threads is that I wonder if my skills sound too rudimentary or textbook. My German is generally passable, my Spanish is so/so, if a little formal sounding, & my French probably the worst of the bunch, (except my accent is excellent, but that’s not an issue when reading & writing on a forum.) If there was a place to ask if a post you made in a second language sounded natural or not (in writing,) that could be a cool way to get more people using International Clique.

The main reason i don't do anything besides very basic OPSEC, tbh. I don't do anything illegal, so i don't think they would want to come after me.
But, who knows? Some countries have really draconian anti-free speech laws, to the point where politicians will sue you for saying they're corrupt - even though that's like saying that water is wet, it's something that you can ask anyone and 9 times out of 10 they will say that politicians are corrupt.

On unrelated notes, i gave Disgaea 5 a try and i thought it was cool, but do i need to pay attention to the story? I like story in my SRPGs when it's something like Triangle Strategy, but Disgaea just seems like it's a silly game story-wise.
