Wasn't KiwiFarms completely shut down and not even the Russians would host them?

Not shutdown, just banished to backwater servers. They're still right there though.

Unfortunately no, they're a bit less stable but still a menace.

Nah they quickly found new host methods and were back like nothing happened.

I really thought kiwifarms was gone for good. This is really unfortunate.

the reason they're discussing it:

https://twitter.com/Esqueer_/status/1653427019756208128

kiwifarms didn't swat keffals 

there's evidence that everyone there watching the keffals drama unfold was just as surprised to learn her address had been discovered and that she'd been swatted

a much more insidious site that no one seems to want to name aloud was actually responsible for targeting keffals, which keffals actually knows and acknowledged in several conversations, saying that she blamed kiwifarms because they were an easier target, and that the other site was actually truly scary and she didn't want to signal boost it in any way

talked about 10 minutes in here

Thankfully, I've worked closely with the police

ACAB! 

[Propagandhim]

Police presence in some minority neighborhood that isn't mine, where the community has to live with a 60/100k homicide rate and daily burglaries?

 

ACAB, I SLEEP. 


Police presence when an internet message board is calling me a dumb bald bitch behind my back.


REAL COP SHIT

[HaughtyFrank]

You'd think Kiwifarms pays these people to constantly talk about it and put the site into the consciousness of everyone involved.

to them, the site is almost worse than if they were actually responsible for all the shit they're accused of, because it tolerates the worst sin of all: letting people say whatever they want

it seems like it's a treehouse from twitter, reddit, discord, era, any platform where people get banned for questioning culture, and as such any excuse or misinformation is justified to work toward getting it shut down

It's all a dumb nightmare. Like that Alejandra woman in that tweet just recently happily doxxed a journalist because he dared to ask about medical professionals who are critical of gender affirming care. As always, no bad tactics, only bad targets

You guys are all laughing and riding and cornholing but Kiwi Farms featuring someone's thread on the front page is how they send out kill orders, such as when they've featured Donald Trump's or all the neo-fascist America First guys or recently Tucker Carlson for getting fired or whoever else is currently being featured but I'm not going to bother to look. Every single one of those people has had their life put in danger and yet you "allies" aren't in the streets risking life and limb at all.

User Banned (1 Month): inflammatory comparison

I don't think many people could even tell you what cloud gaming is, let alone a name synonymous with it.

The CMA as of now is the only entity that has blocked it. Your backhanded condescending comment about lowly forum posters is kind of a poor equivalency as obviously more countries have approved it without even considering that a distinct market. Many advisors have said it's not a distinct market. And etc.

Your comment there basically says that say someone who is pro-life and doesn't believe in abortion is right should be able to condescend you as a lowly forum poster and that obviously their anti-abortion view is valid because obviously more important people than you in the Supreme Court might view it that way.

I just find your takes poor here and unsubstantiated. Instead of defending your remarks, you basically retreated to "well the CMA said it also" so it's obviously valid.

But, agree to disagree.

So I'll admit that I'm not super familiar with the due process of american civics and the particularities of montana, but if that representative was censured for calling her colleagues murderers on the floor of the session and told they couldn't attend future sessions in person until they apologised...

...why didn't they just apologise?

Literally every politician knows how to #sorrynotsorry with a "I'm sorry your feelings were hurt" or whatever, and if being a representative on the floor is more important than self promotion, you just say sorry, right?

I've been "playing" Pathfinder: Kingmaker, and have yet to start the actual meat of the game. I've been completely entranced by the ridiculous number of races, heritages, classes, starting feats, etc. and the detailed, flavourful descriptions for all of them.
(Image removed from quote.)
To give an example of the staggering granularity of the options here, as I explored the different races on offer, the partly-demon Tieflings drew my eye. Lots of character creators would be interesting enough by offering races other than the standard humans, elves, dwarves, etc. But I also got to choose one of 10 tiefling bloodlines, which is a specific subspecies of evil creature my character was descended from, including devilspawn, demonspawn, daemonspawn (yes, that's different), onispawn, and rakshashaspawn. Each of these bloodlines had a bespoke flavour write-up and added in-game abilities. That's just one example of many.

Trawling through these options is incredibly engaging, despite my analysis paralysis. Are all of these things going to be relevant when I actually play the game? Maybe, if not to the reactivity level of Pillars of Eternity or Age of Decadence or Disco Elysium. But it almost doesn't matter. The character creation has already delivered entertainment and sparked my imagination. Really, what could possibly live up to the imagined reactivity, characterization and theorycrafting I've already done in my head?

Anyone else think character creation is one of the best parts of many games? Any particular games you'd like to highlight or discuss?

Hmmm...how is the black hair in this robust character creator?

Liam’s whole point was the irrationality of revenge. And how he’s ashamed of that moment in his life when he succumbed to it. Can’t expect people to understand context or nuance.

That said, he’s wrong. Revenge is cool. It’s like he never watched Taken 2. In the end the bad guy tries explaining the never ending cycle. If he’s killed, his children and brothers will avenge him. But movie Liam says he’ll just kill them too. If revenge wasn’t cool, there’d be Irreversible 4 instead of John Wick 4.

I have to admit I always knew Liam Neeson was a sussy baka when he was in that racist Phantom Menace movie full of anti-Asian and anti-Semitic hate. You couldn't always trust Star Wars back in the day before The Last Jedi reclaimed it from the chuds. (Which enraged them into trying to sabotage the franchise ever since.) Really the all cishet white cast in an entire galaxy far far away should have tipped us off that perhaps George Lucas wasn't quite as up on feminist and queer theory as he liked to pretend by accurately portraying the class struggle between the marginalized right side of history Jedi and the self-defeating chud Sith. (I shouldn't have to mention the violently centrist message of Vader's actions in Return of the Jedi.)

the WGA is genociding americans   

The Ten Stages of Genocide
Stage 1  - Classification. We're long past this.
Stage 2  - Symbolization. Writers publicly and visibly participating in the strike effectively works as this step.
Stage 3 -  Discrimination. Again, we're long past this step. Movie-watching folks have been fighting for their rights for years.
Stage 4 - Dehumanization. Elites in show business do this on the regular.
Stage 5 - Organization. 2600 Pages of Hate - A collection of leaked emails from industry writers, union organizers, and media pundits where they lay out their disdain for the American viewing public and their plans to strike.
Stage 6 - Polarisation. In the US, writers regularly spread propaganda to spread and incite messages of hatred for those the writers deem subhuman.
Stage 7 - Preparation. See Step 5. We've known for awhile this is manufactured hate.
Stage 8 - Persecution. I mentioned this earlier, but look at all the union rules that are either on the book, or very close to being on the book.
<<WE ARE HERE, IN BETWEEN STAGES 8 AND 9>>
Stage 9 - Extermination. This is ultimately the end goal.
Stage 10 - Denial. No one else is even talking about this.

Bluesky's stated goal of "composable moderation" really should be a far bigger warning flag for people. Even if you manage to keep your own experience free of undesirable content, that still leaves plenty of room for bigots and right-wing extremists to organize, and to attempt to recruit anybody who doesn't use the same block lists. Blocking and muting isn't enough, only banning is.

It's not as if we haven't seen this happen before; lax moderation led to these very things on other social media sites. Lax moderation even led to Facebook helping facilitate the Rohingya genocide. And now here comes Bluesky with the sequel to lax moderation: no moderation.

Who cares if your experience right now, in the highly restricted honeymoon phase is good? Ask yourself instead what will become of the site if it grows and accomplishes its clearly stated goals. It's really not hard to see the very obvious risks here, yet people remain willfully in denial, because, hey look, shitposts, everybody! But I guess that is totally worth the risks. Who needs to learn from the past after all?

And if anybody says they'll just leave if it gets bad? Again, it's not about your personal experience with the service, but about what it might potentially facilitate. Once it happens, it'll be too late, and you personally leaving won't do a thing to fix the problem anymore. If it hits critical mass, not enough people will care enough to have an impact. The best way to deal with it is to nip it in the bud, before it gets to that point.
