Right. What's more convenient for them instead is to capitalize on the post hoc fallacy and isolate very niche and fringe cases of criminal individuals who did have some sort of connection to lolicon. It's much easier for them to use that the explain their behavior instead of addressing their underlying and likely extensive mental illness. So many people still want to uphold the kindergarten rules of "one bad apple spoils the bunch".
Wait what the fuck was 9chan exactly? I know about it from drama involving Heyuri, but I didn't know that KF was involved with it.I stopped following 9chan past the loli/cp spammers, but didn't he sell/give-away the site?
What happened with that?
maybe I should just make this a general Null/Josh thread
That's true, you'll never get a big audience by allowing loli, especially on a small start-up site like Minds where it'll be far more prominent compared to twitter where its easily hidden in the background cause of just how big the site is.
Total free speech is more of a talking point than anything. Right-Wingers/altright (if I've learned anything from the pleroma) just want to hear their own voices. I honestly doubt any of them could give a damn about "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it".
That first one; and not the core demographic of 'imageboards,' just the core demographic of 8ch. It was predominately a shithole outside of 8/a/ and /hgg/. 8/a/ only managing that because of its strict moderation that incentivized lurking. Like man, I appreciated the optimism but you had to have known that you were herding the unwanted embers of the toilet fire that was post-GG 4chan.
Didn't they also heavily shill on 4chan?
I didn't spend much time around the webrings, but I do know Julay.world had something of a shitstorm in a teacup when they started kicking boards off after the whole 'webrings are the future of imageboards!' lecture.
I know for a fact that a lot of 4channers ended up on discord at some point via migrating from general threads. Whoever is using 4chan actively now isn't the same group of people from pre-2014.
Why is it that so many of the webdevs who run non-corporate sites tend to go on this same spiel? 'Webrings are the future of imageboards!' 'Twitter users and facebook karens will use Mastodon if only we could drive off those awful coomers!' Do server hosts hand out free kool-aid or something?
My theory: Risk.
But everyone bitches about Hiroshimoot.
The problem here is that you need someone like Null to run something like KiwiFarms. Of course, I'm not saying you have to be an insufferable faggot towards things like anime, but rather Null's personality and commitment is what has allowed the site to not only remain up to this day but also flourish as it has. It's obviously taken a serious toll on his mental psyche, but that's just a nature of the position and less so his fault. Becoming a jailor of the damned in a world where literal governments hate you for existing is both a thankless and exhausting duty.
When people like Null and Vis die its pretty likely their sites will go with them

Sounds like you're a little worried about yourself there HaloWhen people like Null and Vis die its pretty likely their sites will go with them
Not enough autistic people to run sites like that, otherwise the fediverse would be a lot more populated, and we'd have more variety in sites than Twitter, Discord, and [Other social media site].
. Takes a particular kind of person to take the plunge. Someone that's okay with the risk, likes being somewhat social and more importantly, likes being responsible for things.People just gotta take the leap, rent a cheap server and do their own thing again
These sites are gonna die in a year and I'll have nothing left to live forSounds like you're a little worried about yourself there Halo
it doesn't take that much autism. Just a bit of free time and like 20 bucks to spend.
The sites won't die unless you decide to kill them or I get suspended on twitter, I find the second one unlikely.These sites are gonna die in a year and I'll have nothing left to live for

Some of us don't exactly have anywhere else to go past this point. Been kicked out of everywhere else.These sites are gonna die in a year and I'll have nothing left to live for
Give me a couple of years, and maybe...
I don't know much about kiwi farm but everytime i hear they talk about something they does sound like sjw-lite/sjw, drama queen ... and a bunch of doxing attempts. So my impression about them is pretty bad.
You should stop swallowing the black pill and take it easy. Besides, I need a place to blog about weeb drama when I'm feeling bored.
