Null 🥝 Joshua Moon Megathread

[Obscenity2022]

Null says that the only way he'd publicly show ban reasons is if he added a 10$ price tag to registrations, because it would be funnier to him if he banned someone who gave him money

he says that but we all know it would quickly transform into "because i said so!" or other bullshit reasons. the amount of times he's banned someone for mocking him would he publically revealed if forced to give reasons or posts that explained the ban

Null says that the only way he'd publicly show ban reasons is if he added a 10$ price tag to registrations, because it would be funnier to him if he banned someone who gave him money. He also gets mad at a user for saying the chat is dead and doesn't need to exist anymore, despite admitting that the chat is dead and many other threads are ghost towns since people have lost interest in lolcows, with the furry board in particular being mostly inactive.

Crazy how SomethingAwful is more transparent than Reddit Farms in that it isn't afraid to list publicly how many users are banned. It's pretty obvious he's just ashamed of it given the "free speech" reputation it has falsely signaled over the years. He's also being deceitful about the criticism of the chat. It's true the site had a chat for 10+ years, but it was always ON THE FRONT PAGE and AT THE BOTTOM of it. It wasn't bolted onto the top of almsot every board and thread. The chat is for users who log-in frequently to chat and catch up with each other, but this is something unique to a board and it's culture. With Josh trying to turn his website into Reddit the culture is now gone.

exactly, he had so many users in chat they literally needed 4 different chats for the site. especially during major happenings or fishtank and lolcow trials. i'd say more people used chat than posted a lot of hours during the day. its like if Null decided no more movie night

Does anyone actually like the redesign? I can understand merging some of the boards but deleting community watch makes no sense.

He put it under Lolcows with a community thread prefix

A couple people have complained about it but they got yelled at by Null. The rest praised it and said anyone who didn't like it are autists who hate change.

Josh has been mask off with "Because I said so!" for a while now. No one's pretending KF is anything other than his personal project anymore.

It's always been his personal project since day 1.

This fact is more obvious to some than to others.

I just realized at least 3 users on KF have died in this year, two of which from suicide (Gehenna from seemingly natural causes and Cats and BrunoMattei offing themselves).

Kiwi Farms wasn't created by Null, if you didn't know. It was created by another user named champthom who quit as admin and left it up to a community vote who would take over. HHH won said vote but let Null take over since he had no interest in running a forum.

I'm aware but that's so long ago the distinction isn't really significant anymore.

It is a terrible change. What the hell was he thinking alongside the autists who liked it? It's much more of a mess, back then you can just go to a thread and ctrl+f to access it as a shortcut. And it just looks disorganized.
Sure there's watched threads but if you haven't put it on your watched threads and it's buried, you'll have to contend with the search which was sometimes slow and it brought up irrelevant results depending on the thread subjects.

Also as someone who joined KF in the mid 10's it's interesting how Null himself and the forum culture changed over the years. At the very least Null learned how to not call someone a nigger or tell them to consider suicide, for better or for worse. I'd say worse because it's actually funny telling other people complaining to him to neck themselves.

And back then shitposting is encouraged but it slowly dwindled down until posting of lolcow threads is formalized. Dedicated subforums about shitposting are now once in a while where you can spam or post crap to no end, usually only when there's an IRL large occasion like Christmas. Back then there was that Gamergate HQ and Edgeville, the second one I wasn't able to see by the time I signed up.

His weird obsession with the Lolcow section is counter-intuitive and downright runs against his self-stated goals of growing the forum and having a "free Internet".
I use his forum for the offtopic section, where I can discuss media, literature, sports, business, lifestyle topics, etc without faggot rainbows, nigger worship or language policing being forced on me. I don't give a single fuck about Chantal, Cobes, BMJ, Rekieta or any other fat, gross, retarded faggot the userbase likes to pretend they're better than. Apparently, thinking that while being an otherwise non-disruptive user is offensive to Josh.
:

You must care about the lolcows. You must keep up-to-date with Chantal's bowel movements in Syria, or else...

The biggest growth spurts the forum has seen have been from "offtopic" happenings. I doubt most people sign up to participate in "Gorl Tawk" about fat retards.

Yeh OT and A+N are what keeps KF afloat. A savvy businessman could spin a tidy profit off of that.

I have no idea what you mean, the site culture in general, Null included, have become far more angry and belligerent.

I guess you can say that they changed the way they channel their anger. Back then if people want to sperg over and over on a thread because they think the thread is shit or OP is shit and it would be allowed. Right now I can see that there's a moral reason or obligation and things are handed in a much more 'proper' in a way. If you've known about Daddy O'Five they let Dynastia and I think alongside some few other people clog up the thread and it was only until Null that decided that Daddy O'Five is a lolcow because of DFEing, not because of his child abuse, amusingly.

If that happens now the users doing that will be threadbanned and pink triangled as well as negrated. And I beg to differ for Null. I think he's more angrier back then because he calls everyone niggers and tells everyone to fuck off literally if you look at the takedown request responses from him back then vs now.

The political and news threads are always full of assmad users though, I'm confident that hasn't been changed.

You don't say, soy predator. You don't say...


But indeed the whole mental environment on farms have become more erratic, unhinged even. Site is overfilled with misery and rattlesnake backstabbing routine these days, there's no community, no encouragement of civil behavior. No, there's only soastic screeching, powerleveling and shitting on anyone who have ever so slightly different opinion than autist right next to you.
Reddit comparison stems from it for a reason.

>Almost all of our bans are persistent nuisance users who want any attention they can get.
Lies. I'm sure those people exist but let's not pretend all of your bans are justified. Lots of people got banned for literally no reason or based on a false premise they were someone else's sock. We see this all the time. This is an ignorant Josh worldview in which he is right and has never done wrong.
>chat
Reminder that the only reason he has a group chat on the site is to try and stop users from going elsewhere to chat like Discord, Twitter, or Telegram. He can't control these places or ban you for disagreeing with him on those platforms. He wants a monopoly on speech and thought. He will lie and tell you discord is bad bc there are freaks on it. But this is an excuse; he just wants control and to be the head honcho with power that everyone has to grovel to. And to be able to shift narratives to his favor.

We must make sure that no one has a monopoly on lolcows, the sector, or speech around these things. It needs to be decentralized. Josh is a shitty moderator who constantly gets involved with the cows and then ends up running damage control for these cows, once they start getting alogged or lose the crowd favor. We've seen it with Ethan Ralph, Dick Masterson, Nick Rekieta, DSP, Metokur, CRP, PPP, Andy Warski, and probably more of his surrogate father, e-daddies that I'm forgetting. Even though Josh thinks he's the best person on this planet and only person able to run Kiwi Farms, he is not the arbiter of lolcow content. And I resent the fact that this fatass has locked threads to stop people from talking about people.

I don't know how you can look at Null doing things like banning 100+ users in a fit of rage and think he's gotten calmer.

FTFY, let's not forget that kiwi got plagued by feds and they monitor things in there these days.
Whoops, shouldn't have said the quiet part loud...
