He'll shut it down in a rage and I think he's almost there.
honestly good. the problem with running a drama type forum is that the same type of person like
@The Gays From LA who will dedicate their lives to a-logging a lolcow and researching everything about their life like a true crime author, is usually the type of person who is easy to bully. they're the epitome of a glass cannon or fragile speedster, they're the best at the autistically researching but they suck at the whole "office politics" part of the forum. so they're going to be kicked easily if you don't handle them with care.
A big reason kiwifarms seems to stop being the place to go if you need to learn about lolcows is because of how easy it is to piss off the wrong group of users and now you're banned from some thread.
great examples is the bitch that was hyper cataloging every idubbz strea, and ended up getting a thread ban for awhile for the crime of pissing null off. And quite a few times in various parts of the site that null rarely stops by, he ends up nuking the account of a beloved user. like
@The Gays From LA who refuses to talk to me (just like that cunt Zoey), or Blav who destroyed destiny's life
If you go through various threads on kiwifarms its obvious 1. most lolcow threads are heavily researched by a handful of individuals and 2. those people are now gone from the site because they pissed off the wrong person, usually null over something not related to the topic 3. once those people are taken out the threads usually die because there is no one autsitically contributing new information for them to react to.
think about it like a bar with a karaoke or trivia night, the charismatic hosts gets people to come and spend money and have a good time, once the host leaves then the people stop showing up because there isn't anything interesting to keep their attention.
its a huge reason why it feels like the site mainly thrives off of politics now, all the autistic researcher types got bullied or banned. Slav power is a great example of this, the few times he leaves his autistic tech part of the site he gets attacked and was very close to being banned entirely and that would have meant the very end of the Linus thread.
As for the A&N part of the site, its userbase is just the very worst of facebook level boomer conservatism. how they react to shitposts or having the type of opinions that were typical of online back in the 2010s shows they're out of touch with everyone.
Its rather telling how the TES thread is made up of long time users while A&H is exclusively the realm of the post-DropKiwifarms userbase.
