>Can we have a KiwiFarms hate thread
nah

I'm fine with kiwifarms for the sole reason of how they archive information and then don't get bullied into deleting it

Too late, just ignore the thread if you don't like it

I agree they're good at archiving screenshots but you have to sift through so much bullshit to get to it, plus that doesn't really redeem them imo, 4Chan and Lolcow have good archives a lot of the time but they both get on my nerves. The attachment system also sucks because there were time where I would post screenshots and it would just say "view attachment 123456" and then you clicked on it and it would say "this file is unavailable", I saw that happen to a lot of other users, hopefully it's fixed now

I just wonder, are these specific communities that bother you? Some of the threads I found were quite funny or relatively insightful(Sanctioned suicide, DesmondisAmazing, some you only come in for the backstory of the person), but others were more like a burning trashcan (threads on certain communities and certain people). Like it seems the quality of the discussion depends on the subject. Likewise I don't like Lolcow either because the people they obsess over aren't that interesting, or they fail to make them seem such.

Is it down for anyone else or is my wifi fucking up?

I used to post extensively on KF because I came there from being fed up with all the gendie shit on Tumblr, back when Meowthkip was an admin on the Tumblr board. The culture definitely changed over the years, there used to be a significant female userbase and the posts were a lot less petty, too. My favorite thread was PurpleKecleon's because she was an artist i used to look up to when I was younger, kek. But there seemed to be more restrictions on who qualified as a lolcow, and what you could do to them. I remember there being a stigma against doxxing family members and minors. Now, people will search up someone's parents and siblings and shit for no reason.

The milk kind of sucks, too. A lot of the threads just come off to me as vendettaposting and basically "erhm this person draws art I don't like soooo they're a lolcow uwu". It's so damn boring. Back then, a lolcow was someone who scammed or did really scummy shit, like fuck dogs or something. Now, it's just "people I don't like". I still browse KF from time-to-time because there's occasionally a few good guides there. I just wish there was something like KF without the lolcow posting, because I have a feeling all of the gossip and shit really brought down the IQ of the userbase as the years went by. Not to say that KF was the smartest place per se, but it felt a lot easier to have a conversation about something back in 2017-2018.

KF got DDOSed recently. Why the hell do people use sites like this that can get you in legal trouble in some places without using VPNs

What are the dangers of rawdogging the internet?

Do you really trust the owners of every site to have good intentions?

With a plain old IP address but accounts? What's the worst that could happen

>>311223
Accounts give IP addresses on most sites plus other personal info like emails
