KF Gossip 🗣️🦻🏼 Besides Onionfarms, what KF alternatives exist?

[Kiwi Pot Pie]

Honestly..... it's gonna be vague but "something that's like old KF." Back when they could laugh and have fun, it wasn't all doom and gloom, everything wasn't a call to action, and not every time a woman or black person appeared in a movie or video game was immediately some major issue to rally around.

also preferably not having a tourette's-like tendency to describe absolutely everything using the n-word.

Kiwi Farms was always a place you would call people niggers and complain that that latest Marvel slop movie had too many niggers and women. It always had links to anti-SJW sites and /pol/, the only difference was it was more equal opportunity and you could also laugh at /pol/ and there were a lot fewer Trump cultists and you could actually criticize his failings.

I may be wrong on the nigger thing though. I think some academic scraped the Kiwi database at some point, so it might be possible to check. I really would be curious to find the frequency of terms like nigger on Kiwi Farms (though I bet 2020 is an outlier year because of the race riots). You could also plot other fun insights like the rise of feminists and the feminist Josh arc with all its keywords.

Though you are definitely right that KF took on a real activist tone around 2019 and definitely by 2022. I think Null was onto something in his rants around that time when he whined about the site getting too political, too big, and not fun. But I just cannot see any way a site would not fall into that trap. You would just end up joining a revolving carousel of sites that either decay into junk like KF did or simply die of irrelevance like Encyclopedia Dramatica.

Whole lotta internet people these days really want to lie to themselves and to others on shite like:
>oh the internet used to be so great!
>oh this website and that website used to be so great!
>oh this group chat used to be so great!
Very disingenuous and unhealthy behavior IMO. Ain't saying they should go all blackpill. Just be realistic. Them places they used to go to back then are just time happenings, 'tis all. They can either move on or stay stuck on this selfdestructive romanticism, which not surprisingly most of them lolcow orbiters end up doing the latter.
KF specifically, dunno why anyone would argue it was ever good. One of better things with Clyde is he and most replies acknowledge that KF has always been shite and they were dunces for once believing otherwise, and there ain't no shame in admitting you used to be wrong.
