Didn't they later go after Lowtax, or was that just some good ol internet memein'

There was a fairly active thread chronicling Lowtax and his decline. Towards the end probably 90% of the people who were watching his livestreams were kiwifarms people goading him on.

Oh good I was hoping we'd get a thread so I can ask: What's their connection to us?

My memory is they split off (or just grew?) around the "lowtax finds out" saga and were either part of the original wave, or later just latched on to, stalking chris chan?

They spun up around Helldump was closed, because it was the exact same poo poo and making Lowtax nervous. As much as goons like to pretend otherwise now, SomethingAwful was a shithole of unrepentant godawful vile behaviour less than a decade ago.

Far more than a comfortable number of goons have maintained active accounts both there and here, many reusing their SA handles, and the rise of offsite discords during the Lowtax Exodus has lead to some seriously unsettling behaviour from that crowd.

It’s impressive, the amount of damage these forums have managed to inflict on lives via the spin-off legacies spawned here.

I don't understand why people blame Something Awful for these offsites. SA didnt make turn them in to the terrible people that they are, SA in fact banned them for being awful. They would have found each other on the internet somewhere. should SA not have banned them?

one time my friend and i sewed together our own skirts and conspiracy t shirts and went to an olive garden at 9:30 AM and ordered six liters of wine and free bread sticks and it was the best day ever

buglord posted:

yeah im kinda curious where they go next. cloudflare was their last chance or something, right? I faintly remember a tweet or message from the KF owner asking the users to chill with the doxxing/harassment because this was their last possible host. do they just go from self hosting where the founder puts a server in the house and keeps it running 24/7, or does it not work like that?

from what i was reading before the announcement, it's not so much the hosting that is critical from cloudflare but the ddos protection. null and kf have made so many enemies now that anywhere they so get hosted is going to get ddos'd into the loving ground. i am not good with computer, but my understanding is you need a lot of servers to work as scrubbing stations in order to mitigate the threat, which is why places use cloudflare because they have the capacity to do that. there are other companies that offer ddos mitigation, but if they had been open to kf's business before, they sure aren't now.

please correct me if im wrong, though. like i said, that was just my understanding from what i had been reading.

Being famous on the internet seems like something that just isn't worth it unless you're making a lot of money. Its dangerous and it seems like bad things are inevitably going to happen to you because of it. The whole swatting thing is at best traumatic and at worst its deadly.

they spent years doxxing and harassing trans goons to the point where LGBT threads here warn against posting personal information and photos with a big disclaimer that "this is not a safe space"

Getting into weird and unpleasant politics and pandering to bullshit fringe groups then dying by suicide is the internet person equivalent of a punk band frontman ODing and choking on vomit.

Gonna cross post from pyf tweets thread...

Here's a tweet from a reporter for NBC News

https://twitter.com/oneunderscore__/status/1565797220531814406?t=oIMOPns8AdKdEAMbSYI6Yw&s=19

You can read a summary there but he also links the article he wrote about Kiwi farms:
https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/internet/cloudflare-kiwi-farms-keffals-anti-trans-rcna44834

In that article he links to this article from Vice (it's in french so i read the translated version) which actually mentions something awful and calls us a "hotbed of digital wickedness" because people went after Chris Chan back in the day.

Wonder if the press will look into us too. Jeffrey may have some 'splainin to do

We are getting lumped in with them. It's just a french vice article but still, it bothered me to see us mentioned that way.

Where's the mention?
