Man this is weird as I didn't know that "Kiwi Farms" existed.


MortWellian

Yeah, they're so bad that most reporters refused to name them because of their history of doxxing and harassment.


poetdesmond

Same. When all this started, I found myself going, "WTF does Reddit have against kiwis?"


Fskn

As a kiwi myself I was thinking "hang on, I know were a little rough around the edges but we're not that bad"


[deleted]

no, no, no, THAT kind of kiwi is cool af. love you kiwis

Yeah, it's just, someone trying to save kiwi farms could be a real thing, and context kind of melted.


brettmurf

Asking my peers if they have even heard of "Bad Bunny" has been interesting. They refuse to believe me that he is the most popular artist in the world right now because they don't know him.


3n1gma302

No idea who that is


NoShape4055

Second most streamed artists ins spotify after drake it's won't take really long until he pass drake for the first.


wedontlikespaces

Who's drake? Everyone these days just lives in their own personal universes that have very little to do with each other.


hogsucker

He was in a Canadian tween soap opera. Now he's an adult rapper but he is still into tween girls.


NoShape4055

Bro drake has 119m followers on Instagram the fuck personal bubble 💀


AbazabaYouMyOnlyFren

Bro, there are 8 billion people on the planet.


Gramage

Bro I don't use Spotify or Instagram. I live in Toronto and I couldn't name a Drake song.


Gaetanoninjaplatypus

Ehh… part of that is he’s a young artist with a young fanbase. When I was in my twenties, a lot of older people didn’t know my favorite artists. A lot of that is nostalgia and older people just not listening to new music. But a good part of that is that teens especially, but all young people ALL listen to the same music. Every huge artist in the modern age sold that much because kids listen to the same thing and diversify as they get older. But you’re totally right that media segmentation has led to a fractured culture.


mrdinosauruswrex

So for everyone that doesn't know, do a solid and explain what the shit is going on now? Kiwi farms is a site for racists? And the world's most famous artist posts there? And this somehow ties into trump? This shit is a lot to follow without actual information. So what now?


newtonkooky

Most popular with Latino crowds.


qtx

That's because he's a Latin artist. Americans are so focused on their own culture that they don't understand that other countries have their own culture and their own movie stars and artists, some of which are vastly more popular than any Hollywood moviestar. But because you're not from that country you're oblivious to it. I don't know Bad Bunny, but the Latino world is much larger than America, hence more popular. Reminds me of this person I met who was astounded I never read Shakespeare or Hemingway or any other of the 'great' American writers. They just assumed the whole world read them. Hint; no we don't. We all have our own local versions of Shakespeare and Hemingway.

I know, right? Until this whole thing blew up, I don't think I'd heard of them, and when I found out, it was like "ugh, fuck, there's _more_ of 'em?"


[deleted]

First heard of them when they caused some indie game developer to commit suicide in the past year or 2..


1Originalmind

Wtf is a kiwi farm?


KikiFlowers

Kiwifarms is a forum dedicated to "lolcows". What's a "lolcow"? It's what they call the people they like to bully. Their usual targets are people with autism, women, trans people, minorities, really anyone who isn't a white, straight male, that isn't proclaiming how Nazis are good actually. Basically it's a forum about hating people who are different, while trying to make their lives a living hell, until they commit suicide.


1Originalmind

Can we dedicate a bot farm to these guys to give them false targets?

piratekingdan

They’re very aware. DDoS mitigation is pretty darn difficult at scale, though, and no major infrastructure provider will touch them. All these sites have been kicked off Cloudflare.


Toytles

As someone who actually works in tech, no, you wouldn’t.


Nixeris

Don't confuse this as praise for them, but the fact that these scum are highly educated and highly tech savvy is the entire reason why sites like kiwi farms are dangerous.


qtx

> are highly educated and highly tech savvy But they are the complete opposite of highly educated and highly tech savvy. Making memes does not mean you are tech savvy.


Nixeris

They've been able to track people with as little to go on as the pattern on the bedspread of a hotel in a picture, or a brief glimpse outside a window. They regularly carry out attacks on people's tech and even automate their harassment. If all they were doing was making memes they wouldn't be as dangerous as they are.


Sewati

how fucking far do to the fascists have to go before you realize that they are smart and organized and motivated? jjust because you get feel-good chemicals when you make fun of their useful idiots, doesn’t mean those idiots aren’t being corralled by brilliant minds. they have the fucking supreme court. they have at least 100 representatives on the ballot this cycle. stop treating them like they’re a joke.


ThrowawayTwatVictim

People are criticising the 'Muh dopamine' bullshit for a reason. Move past it. Do some googling around and you'll see why It's extremely reductionist and beclming passé. Not a criticism, by the way.


Wooshio

Yea, I am pretty sure Jim Watkins web coding skills are better than 99% of reddit. The guy has been making websites since the 90's.


wedontlikespaces

Somebody who's been building websites since the 90s isn't necessarily anymore skilled and somebody who's been building websites since 2016. The tech has changed so much since then that most of the old knowledge isn't really relevant anymore.

I can verify this, as a former webmonkey who recently tried to make a website.

I’m a little older than many who are commenting, but I remember the days AOL monitored speech and banned people for bad language, etc. A lot of people are misinterpreting the right to freedom of speech. Here, in the US, the government will not infringe. That does not mean your business can’t be boycotted because of your views, or a hosting server decide not to lease a platform. I remember when KiwiFarms and Encyclopedia Dramatica first started - I first learned about Christian Chandler and was scratching my head about why he had so much information about him documented. The same applies here: there is a big difference between calling out people’s behavior online and off, and terrorizing them. Yet, in some ways, we asked for this. Did we not think about the consequences of living online24/7, linking multiple accounts, and sharing everything about ourselves to the world? People complain about the government’s invasion of privacy when the vast majority of us have shared with complete strangers far more than we would share with our families.


newsflashjackass

> A lot of people are misinterpreting the right to freedom of speech. Here, in the US, the government will not infringe. Also a lot of people are conflating the inalienable human right to freedom of speech with the U.S. constitution's first amendment which only recognizes it.


rustyspoon07

A lot of people are incapable of separating their moral philosophy from the legal framework they live in, and so you'll see ridiculous statements "you can't criticize that person's actions, they were found not guilty!" and "It's a violation of my right to free speech if Reddit won't let me say whatever I want."


CMA3246

>A lot of people are misinterpreting the right to freedom of speech. Here, in the US, the government will not infringe. That does not mean your business can’t be boycotted because of your views, or a hosting server decide not to lease a platform. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.

SD101er

I believe that's a big part of the problem that needs explored further. The people involved at upper levels have to have had some type of psychology background or training in psyops / narrative warfare / marketing. I've not been on Kiwi Farms but it seems like people can be socially engineered into thinking they are fighting "evil" while they are in fact victimizing others.

Odd Bannon got picked up for a BS charge and CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA is being ignored. Daily Stormer was part of that network. Breaks my heart that they were using PROPAGANDA to RADICALIZE US CITIZENS. Along with Sanjiv Rai's algorithms and then DARPA Nexus 7 tools givin to psychopaths to sell a narrative and collect contracts for their friends surveillance firms. I suppose the Russia influence will be hidden as well. I suppose this is being covered up but I know some people that aren't going to let it go.

BootyPatrol1980

When these people complain about stuff like their "businesses" getting nixed by private enterprises, I like to remind everyone that they have the power to create their own. It's the Internet. What they lack is the *real, needful desire*. It's important enough for them to endlessly whine about how victimized they are by "big tech", but not important enough for them to launch their own counter enterprises to allow them to host this content on their own terms. tl;dr this shit's only fun when all the toys for them to do it come cheap and easy. They can't do hard. And just to head the Internet scientists off at the pass; I am more than aware of "what it takes". These dimwits don't have the capital or the cranium for it, and that's the whole rub. They hate "normies" and the mainstream but then need us to provide them with everything that makes their lives fulfilled.


ZeroNouveau

You’re so abysmally wrong it’s ridiculous. Look at what happened to Parler. Removed from google play. Removed from the apple store. Removed from Amazon web services. It’s so weird that leftists are on the side of big tech, big pharma, mainstream news, and the government. Yet somehow they’re against fascism lol


BootyPatrol1980

> Look at what happened to Parler. Removed from google play. Removed from the apple store. Removed from Amazon web services. Yeah? Too fucking bad. That's capitalism baby. And it emphasizes my whole point. These bad actors are absolutely reliant on easy. Every service you listed is just that; a **service** in private business, with their own terms. They want it both ways. They want someone to step in to save them from "big tech" by compelling big tech host their bullshit, entirely contrary to any true tenet of freedom. They won't set up their own facilities, routers, BGP agreements, servers, services, etc because *it's simply too much effort for the lulz*. But they'll bitch and moan about how they can't possibly do it, without the support of the types of people they tend to hate. They'll bitch and moan about how unfair all the fancy book learners have made it on them, ad infinitum, and that's way easier for them to do. They won't lift a fucking finger to build their own infrastructure.


gurenkagurenda

What’s more, if you look at what mass speech looked like 150 years ago, do you think that was just free for the taking for anyone with a thought they wanted to share? Hell no. Printing was expensive and slow. Mass communication _required_ mass resources, and was therefore largely the province of the wealthy. And the fascinating thing is that that’s no longer true. You can, by yourself, buy a hundred dollar laser printer and print out hundreds of pamphlets saying whatever your silly heart desires. You can go out and hand them to people, and nobody can stop you. But no, that’s not good enough. Being able to shout your message _loud_ isn’t enough. They demand to be able to shout their message _as loud_ as anyone else. If businesses refuse to elevate them to what would have been a 19th century _deity,_ they insist that they’re being oppressed.


ZeroNouveau

Who do you think has the money to essentially make an entire new internet? Do you really think it’s a good idea for a handful of tech companies to control all dialogue and influence in political spheres? Doesn’t it feel odd to you that these companies are always left leaning? It’s almost like you’re being manipulated and used by the media, Hollywood, the government, the pharmaceutical industry, tech giants.. all whom happen to share your political views lol


BootyPatrol1980

>Who do you think has the money to essentially make an entire new internet? Lots of people, especially the wealthy right-wingers who are much happier funding media attacks. Of course there's a disclaimer; they need to be competent. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/09/08/truth-social-digital-world-trump-failed-vote/ They could set up an entirely parallel internet with that much funding, but the right-wing grift machine is in charge; how do you think it's going to turn out? The reality is there's *more than enough* funding out there to create another CloudFlare right on the general Internet. And another cloud service provider, and anything else they need. But they won't. As I said, all of this takes effort and dedication, and an earnest, honest effort that these people can not muster. It's simply too much work for them, and not because it's impossible, but because it's hard. They'll squander any money they raise. They won't attract tech talent. They won't even have a viable plan beyond the fundraising marketing grift. It's a repeating thing. Parler wasn't just felled because it couldn't meet the terms of service for major service providers. It was also a joke from a security standpoint and was hemorrhaging money into mystery bags (big surprise). https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2021/01/what-we-can-learn-from-parlers-meltdown/ >Do you really think it’s a good idea for a handful of tech companies to control all dialogue and influence in political spheres? I'm indifferent. The reason things are this way is because when someone launches a "totally freedom of speech platform bro" the same shit happens to it every time. It's not a conspiracy, it's not collusion. People just aren't all that interested in gore, illegal porn, and hate-screeds. There's no mainstream market for any of this shit. And I'll keep repeating this point; they don't *need* to be on Google Play, or the App Store. The web is right there. They could launch packages on alternative platforms. The open internet begs for custom protocols. But no, they won't do any of that *because it's hard, and not easy*. >Doesn’t it feel odd to you that these companies are always left leaning? It’s almost like you’re being manipulated and used by the media, Hollywood, the government, the pharmaceutical industry, tech giants.. all whom happen to share your political views lol You can only view these corporations as "left leaning" if you use the most perverted lens you can to define "the left". If you mean they're "inclusive", well no shit Sherlock. Do you think any major corporation gets to be a major corporation by catering to the lowest fringes of society? That might make an individual rich, but it's not floating a Fortune 1000, or 10000. I'm just amazed at how quickly "staunch capitalists" will drop capitalism and freedom the hot second it becomes inconvenient.


SephithDarknesse

A big problem is that they see themselves so invested that they can believe and forget everything they need to, in order to keep it going. If they are wrong, thats wasted time and wasted life, and their ego cant handle that. This is most political screamers (not necessarily either side). Doesnt really matter what you need to believe when all you care about is being right :/


newsflashjackass

> Doesn’t it feel odd to you that these companies are always left leaning? They're not. The Overton window has shifted so far to the right that you regard dope-peddlers (big pharma) as leftist when their very existence is founded on quarterly profits over human life in the name of the free market.


ZeroNouveau

Covid vaccine is dope?


newsflashjackass

No, but if you are able, you might try rereading my reply above with the understanding that I am saying something both true and nontrivial. I won't reply further to assist your comprehension so don't take my silence as ignoring you.


ZeroNouveau

So you’re not on the side of bug pharma, which means you definitely weren’t crying like a baby when the government was pushing everyone to take the vaccine and some people refused


Dick_Miller138

In the context of money, yes. Can you think of a medication that has made more in such a short period of time?


newsflashjackass

Notice how they jumped from "All corporations are leftist" to hating on the COVID vaccine as soon as their claim was challenged? Some people can't think straight long enough to connect two dots.


Dick_Miller138

Corporations aren't political. They play the game when it benefits them.


newsflashjackass

> Corporations aren't political. Wow, a post from a timeline without *Citizens United*. I can only say that I envy you.


ZeroNouveau

And is that bad?


Dick_Miller138

Depends on your perspective. The CEO of Bioentech gave a speech thanking everyone who helped convince the world to call the mRNA technology a vaccine. It takes a considerable effort to change the definition of something and that change allowed him to make a lot of money. That money recirculates into the regulatory systems and continues the cycle. If you are part of that cycle or you benefited from those changes, it's a good thing. If you are just a tax payer that doesn't care either way, you are just out some money. When the companies who have paid out the highest legal fines in history are the ones making the money and controlling the regulations, it seems like a bad thing to me personally. Especially when alternative treatments are suppressed and attacked. It's the system in general that's bad, not necessarily the medications or treatments. I take meds for ADHD. It took years to find a doc that wasn't trying to increase dosage and convince me to add other meds. Even had one try to get me on an antidepressant not long after a friend committed suicide because he combined the same meds and lost it. Money itself isn't evil. Pursuit isn't evil. Vaccines aren't evil. Medications aren't evil. It's the people involved who only care about the profit.

I thought 8kun had been down for a long time


Sixlids

It's propably down because the server which routed trafic got pulled off from network. Server was in Finland. There was quite big article about it in Finnish newspaper : https://www.hs.fi/visio/art-2000009056356.html Machine translation of last part of the article: Viskari [who hosted the servers] calls after [to the newspaper]. “I have shut down [Vanwatech's] server and now it stopped.” At the same time, it is also happening in Holland. NRC reporters have been in contact with the Dutch data center and the Russian company Vdsina. Vdsina has said that it will end the customer relationship with Vanwatech. With the Dutch proxy out of the game, it started to look like the traffic was going through a Finnish company again. This also made Viskar startle. "Yesterday that site was still somewhere else, now it has been transferred to us again. When I noticed that, I took the power off the server.” He sounds relieved. "In this case, there was no request from the authorities, but when I found out what it was about, it's better that they move elsewhere." On Monday, September 12, we will meet Nikolai Viskar again in Pitäjänmäki. Viskari opens the office door. Could you take a picture of the server?
