It's interesting that there's not as much overlap between MATI and the Farms as you'd expect. I tune into Josh every week, but the Farms ain't really my jam. I'm much more engrossed by the overarching narrative of Jersh vs The World where he details his struggles to keep the site up against the many efforts to bring it down for good.
@YeetLibs@cunnyoisseur@brimshae she just talked about her mom killing herself and her having to pick up the pieces and take care of her siblings one of which is a schizo demonchild whos threatened to kill them and their pets. and kiwiggers decide this is a horrible person they need to go after because... cunny
@cunnyoisseur@brimshae If you read the thread, youll realize theyre not fans of shondo. They doxed her address and said not nice things about her for made up reasons such as "Her fanbase are also completely fucking unhinged and extremely parasocial - these are qualities present in most vtuber fanbases but because she appeals to your typical /r9k/-type by being both "based" and also pedobaiting her orbiters are some of the worst."
"She's not some poorcityfag she's a semirich girl who probably never needed a job anyway so this is what her idle hands came up with, mub mentals? part and parcel. Looking at her face? I know this phenotype, they're normally coked out of their minds in greasy bars with their 40 year old "boyfriend", this is the product of a broken home. Not to diminish the power of her individual depravity but I wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing is a setup by an unseen pimp beyond just her mother, known unknowns abound."
Completely insane and made up by derranged faggots who get off to revealing private information for nefarious reasons. This quote is from a guy geolocating her home im sure for altruistic purposes
If youre a fan of any of the vtubers in the kiwi thread and participate or defend anything going on in there, i want nothing to do with you. I dont trust you i dont care what your reasoning is
@YeetLibs@brimshae >Kiwifarmers posting "virtual" youtubers' faces The exact audience they've been courting - literally a Faustian bargain.
It's what happens when twitch women constantly use cameras pointed at their bodies to thirst trap an audience of extremely lonely men with nothing better to do, some of which know how to dig up whatever internet activity they didn't bother scrubbing up.
Genuinely amazing just how much infrastructure and resources he's put in to keep his website online -- at great personal expense. Josh can be kind of retarded and definitely has a bit of a sketch past but I can't help but respect the dude's grind. One of his best streams was "Internet Juche" where he goes over a lot of the work he did.
Also his streams during #DropKiwiFarms where he talks about all the safeguards he put in place to keep the site operational -- even getting his hands dirty with KiwiFlare.
As a side note on the fan overlap, kf.cc was even further disconnected from the site than MATI I think. I might be one of like 10 people who uses the Farms, Fedi, watches his streams, took part in some watch parties and posted on 9chan when he owned it.
It was a small group but every one was retarded enough for at least 50 fedi users. Timeline moved so slow you could sign on at the end of day and catch up to EVERY Post that day in like 30 mins to an hour. Used to do it during my commute to work :D
He came back to the states recently. Apparently living in a trailer in some swamp in the middle of nowhere. Sounds very Ethan Ralphpilled. Seems like a downgrade over the Siberian commieblock flat, if you ask me. I figure he came home for some reason he refuses to disclose to his audience.
@Hoss@Goalkeeper@YeetLibs@brimshae@cunnyoisseur@smugumin@wgiwf >willingly host some of the most obnoxious retards on the internet who spend their time starting shit with everyone >be surprised when people hate you and want you deplatformed, debanked, unpersoned, in prison, and/or dead
I think this was from years back. But I am pretty sure I remember hearing him talk about not being able to go back to NA. I don't know if it's because of private cases or the DOJ.
The mystery of why he came back is the most engaging part of the Jersh homecoming arc. Everything about his life back in the states sounds like a downgrade, so there's obviously a reason he had to come back that we may or may not ever learn.
@Hoss@skylar@Goalkeeper@YeetLibs@brimshae@cunnyoisseur@smugumin@wgiwf His rhetoric on effectuating political change seems genuine, he may be committed to that cause (not a stretch of the imagination given his retard strength of will). Easier to accomplish when you're here than halfway around the world.
The other other reason, if you're conspiratorially minded, is that he has a lady and possibly a lil jersh. though that sound on that one stream could have also been something like a roommate
Jersh is really gay for abandoning Fedi after the Twitter amnesty. He's addicted to it, he never gave up even after being banned for a few months. He does get credit for discovering the "PLEASE HELP ME SAR I AM FUCKING INDIAN PLEASE HELP SAR PLEASE" method of getting unbanned though. Only somebody with his level of incurable Twitter addiction could've found that via the trial & error process of dozens of ban appeals.
@Hoss@Goalkeeper@YeetLibs@brimshae@cunnyoisseur@smugumin@wgiwf inb4 evicted for deciding the trailer park management company is a lolcow for sending out an email reminding tenants not to park in front of the dumpster and launching a retarded online harassment campaign against them
For sure on that, USIPS is pretty exciting and I hope it goes well for him. Seems like the big boy solution to what he's been trying to achieve for years
The fucking "HELP ME, SAR!" was one of the funniest things he's done in a while to be honest. Many lulz were had.
But it is a shame he only advocated for alternative social media when HE couldn't use "primary" social media. Metokur was very much the same but Metokur never advocated for it as a replacement for Twitter or anything like that.
Josh was kinda like: "Go use this! Use the fediverse instead of twitter, it's better and you can't get- oh, wait my accounts back."
@Hoss Twitter is flawed in that it's a censorious shithole even under Musk, but Fedi is just as flawed in that you can only talk about a very small handful of topics and get any engagement. And yes, engagement is important. It's the "social" part of "social media."
I've always got the vibe Jersh is scared of his own community even more than the troons who got it out for him. They're unlikely to suffer any perceived slights.
As I understand it, the DSP board is like the Farms' Chechnya. It's only barely kept from sparking in open rebellion against him through very tenuous autistic diplomacy.
@Hoss@pwm@Goalkeeper@YeetLibs@brimshae@cunnyoisseur@smugumin@wgiwf@Kirino fedi would be useless for him, he'd speedrun straight to the top of the most defederated instances chart. obviously the mastodon side would defederate, but also many on the racist side due to all the bad blood created by his user base. why bother to talk to like 6 people?
I would be curious to know the specific reasons he was talking about.
For one, you can't put kiwiflare on api endpoints (it's javascript or maybe wasm).
You could come up with a protocol to do proof of work with a challenge/response sort of thing but then you'd be reliant on other software to implement so you might get pleroma forks and mitra, so federation wouldn't work.
As far as the rest of that stack, I don't see that there would be a problem, compute is compute and bandwidth is bandwitdh. Other than the sheer chattiness of AP and how prone it is to ddos instances just by accident when posts spread far enough.
I think they just blacklisted loads of instances prior to federating. The Cloud made Zucc's inaugural naughty list so I've never been able to see a single Threads post since they started federating.
Is he doing anything interesting yet? I dropped mati for half a year and havent felt compelled to check in. Somehow I doubt hes managed to start his own personal bank/payment processor yet
@LovecraftEnthusiast@skylar@Goalkeeper@YeetLibs@brimshae@cunnyoisseur@smugumin@wgiwf@Hoss I would listen to this past Friday's stream, you may get a good rundown on where he stands. He's found a mechanism to take paper checks and cut out the middle man that most? (maybe all) banks support. I don't have a timestamp but you can probably scrub around and find it
I personally find Josh’s ongoing hate fueled tard fight with the international banking cartel way more interesting than his site tbh. Hes going to accidentally find out the cheat code to ruining the financial system if he isnt killed for talking about fat women online first.
@YeetLibs@Jens_Rasmussen Sadly that's inevitable for all popular vtubers. Shondo has gone through far worse to be bothered by some internet losers, though.
@YeetLibs@Jens_Rasmussen So they have. Seems like it was self inflicted with how much specific data she gave out about her family. Still shitty that it happened, but if it wasn’t a kiwi farmer it would have been a weirdo stalker fan soon enough. At least she is hot unlike Mori
@Mamako@Jens_Rasmussen@YeetLibs yeah, but still. It's (somewhat) understandable if its some stalker weirdo, but kf niggers do that because they think its funny. At this point, whatever bad that happens to null is well deserved and I'll clap for it
@YeetLibs@brimshae@cunnyoisseur that shit is so disgusting to read, and the cunts there consider themselves to be good people or some paragon of virtue? lmao
@smugumin@YeetLibs@cunnyoisseur@brimshae I'm generally against doxing but if a good chunk of the dramakikes on Kiwifarms happened to have their real identities leaked I wouldn't cry about it.
@Eiswald@YeetLibs@brimshae@cunnyoisseur@smugumin i find doxxing to be super disgusting but fine if done to someone superdisgusting. sure, "who is superdisgusting" is a very subjective thing, but pedos that committed atrocities or well, kiwifarmers, do deserve it
@ceo_of_monoeye_dating@YeetLibs@brimshae@cunnyoisseur who the fuck doxed shondo? seriously doesn't she already have enough to deal with? not the least of which an actual debilitating mental illness? what the fuck is wrong with people?
