The Fediverse has been known to ban anyone who supports Musk’s rhetoric as well as anyone who is registered with KF. I speak from experience with seeing a certain someone (dare we say whom?) being banned from multiple instances for being a KF user. She made it more than happenstance to rigidly adhere to the instance’s rules. Perhaps there are unwritten rules within the Fediverse regarding alignment with the website I alluded to? In which case, what protocol should the average person follow in order to avoid breaching what was obviously an unwritten rule within the Fediverse? Reaching out as a concerned lemming.
You’re free to make your own instance if you disagree with bans or moderation, and others are free to defederate from you if they don’t wanna see it. What exactly is the issue, that you don’t get a captive audience?
She only got banned because she was trying to make it seem like the harm Kiwi Farms did was minimal. Which is an obvious lie, Kiwi Farms is one of the biggest hives of villiany and scum; they’ve done so much harm to those they didn’t like for petty reasons. Particularly going after trans people and piling an unending torrent of harassment on them until they either kill themselves or go beyond the reach of Kiwi Farms. Proof of my claim that Kiwi Farms caused harm to the Trans community
She tried to conflate Discord unknowingly hosting mass shooters with being their allies. (I noticed said something along the same lines in a response, as you were trying to take the heat off of Kiwi Farms, sussy). That makes me wonder if this account is a sockpuppet, but I can’t say for certain, as there isn’t proof of that.
If this isn’t an example of guilt by association, I don’t know what is. She is first and foremost a trans ally and has a trans (FTM) brother. She’s written many posts where she expresses her support for the trans community and that trans people are valid. He came out as transgender when she was eight, which would have made him thirteen at the time. She was actually the first to fully accept him for who he was, since she had always wanted a brother, and in her mind, this was the brother she had been waiting for since she was born. He’s always been the most special brother she could have, and that hasn’t changed, even with everything that’s happened. Alignment with a site doesn’t mean one endorses the actions of the more questionable members on the site. I can see that those who are against Kiwi Farms are from two demographics that see themselves at odds with it.
There definitely are silos. Think of the most left wing progressive activist college student and how they treat the people around them and that is the expectation of this silo of the fediverse. The only other silo I know of is neonazi so we aren’t spoiled for choice. But to be fair Kiwifarms is filled with unrepentant psychopaths that revel at the suffering of all those around them and frequently engage in the psychological torture of anyone they can and the person you are referring to is no exception. Honestly if they behaved the same way in the neo nazi section of the fediverse, they would probably get banned too. That is how horrid their behavior is.
You say that like Discord hasn’t had its fair share of questionable members, including links to mass violence. Yet I don’t see Fediverse members being banned from multiple instances immediately after being sussed out as Discord members. I’m here to question a double standard and unwritten rule that exists within the Fediverse as a whole.
Discord is a platform that contains millions of users. It is literally inevitable criminals and sickos will use it as well. Kiwifarms is tiny and yet contains a comparable amount of crime and degeneracy as discord. It is about concentration.
The EABOD protocol, and / or the DIAF protocol.
KF?
KF = Kiwi Farms.
isnt that a site to stalk and Fox people?
The group you’re describing isn’t merely stalking people or designed for that purpose. Above all, it was created to uphold a form of free speech that many places fail to fully embrace. It explicitly states upfront that it is not responsible for the questionable actions committed by its members, and honestly, it isn’t.
that sounds like the loudest yes ever. good lord.
Sorry, I had to meme this thread:
“not merely stalking people” = It’s also allowing much worse than that!
The site and the owner have both made statements that they aren’t responsible for the questionable actions committed by its members. If Kiwi Farms members are punishable by instant banishment from the Fediverse for being aligned with the site, then so should Discord members, since Discord has been linked to perpetrators of mass violence.
Deal.
That’s not the gotcha you seem to think it is here.
Discord: linked to perpetrators of mass violence, yet largely overlooked.
Kiwi Farms: associated with smaller-scale harassers, and everyone demands its removal, even by proxy, such as the Fediverse banning anyone found to be affiliated with it.
Small scale? They have gotten people murdered and caused multiple psychotic breaks.
“Guys we don’t harass that bad, ok? We only harass a little bit!!”
You say that like Discord hasn’t been linked to mass violence before. Yet for some reason, the Fediverse appears to have a double standard in which people aren’t getting instantly banned once they’re sussed out as a Discord member.
