hello i like to make video games and stuff and also have a good time on the computer. look @ my pinned for some of the video games and things. sometimes i am horny on @squishfox
full transparency, i fell for that rumor a long long time ago. I was super naive in social media for a while, and figured if people outside of kf were talking about it it must have some semblance of truth. I know much better than to assume that now, and end up constantly skeptical of any account made just for callouts.
i know we never really interacted even on twitter so my telling you this is largely inconsequential, but, idk. it's just something that was on my mind. Wanted to get it off my chest i guess. I'm sorry that continues to follow you, nobody deserves that.
stuff like this always made just trying to exist on twitter so stressful
there's so much misinformation spread around and everyone reacts to everything immediately, and furthermore calls everyone around them out if they don't react the same way with the same urgency
like, I do not have the amount of time it would take to do the research required to figure out whether every controversy is real or a misinformation campaign, and in many cases there just is not enough information to determine that at all
yeah, i'm not proud about being part in all that. I was never one to spread shit around but the ostracizing does damage too that I didn't even consider.
it does make you feel lowkey insane to keep seeing hints that a whole bunch of people seem to exist in a fanfiction universe about your own life
I can only imagine. Again I'm sorry this is ongoing, i hope people can learn to know better
it's nice to know, though, thank you. for a long time i took for granted that anyone who bought in would never buy out, and so the world could only ever get smaller, and so by the monotone convergence theorem it would eventually vanish entirely. fucked me up a bit for like, a couple years
I think in this case, you're not hiding who you are; you're ensuring there's continuity between them, and you're not denying the ongoing narrative even if you're not exactly wearing it like a flag.
that fuckin sucks im sorry its happening and i hope this website is Better somehow
genuinely i was talking about this with some friends recently - i'm viewing cohost as a partial clean slate in the sense that
this does seem perfectly consistent yes
i guess the tricky bit is that i can't tell if they have actually changed their judgment or just haven't connected that both of me are the same person. most of these are people i've never even spoken to, and it's not like they told me when they decided they want nothing to do with me, so they're not gonna tell me if they changed their mind?
again this is really Not My Problem but it does make things feel a bit eggshells, like i'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, like i'm using a bunch of idioms
but i keep finding myself in... awkward and low-information social situations? and it's very tiring
ah geez i feel this just in general. not with as high frequency i expect, but like. socializing on the computer is hard!! my god, why is it this hard. i mean it can be hard in meatspace too, but there are more resources on learning how to deal with that because it doesn’t change much. computer changes every day though (very annoying)
Everyone likes to know where they stand. I don't think that's an unreasonable request.
Ah, I apologize, I believe I may be the person this was about? I'll admit I didn't recognize you here, and that claim is the reason I'd blocked you on twitter several years ago. However, I had no idea that the claim came from KF. If I'd known that, I never would have fallen for it. I unblocked you on twitter. Apologies again for putting you in such a weird spot.
ah, it's not about you — the perils of trying not to name names. thank you though i appreciate it
and yeah people don't generally slap "kf dispatch:" on this stuff when passing it around. alas!
I hope your request for clarification here serves to ease the awkwardness!! cool to see a couple people come in with their mea culpa.
Your recurring situation was one of several I had in mind when I wrote this thing, which ironically has gotten a bunch of "hell yeah! this is important!" from some of the same people who are always spreading warnings about you.
But, y'know. They always have some reason why they're justified specifically when talking about you.
there is a moderately popular early adopter on this very website who is best known for a bunch of longform anti-callout sort of sentiments but who specifically encouraged everyone to listen to kf /on day one/ in our case because it was such a serious matter
This applies to me, I'm incredibly quick to block on twitter, and figuring out if someone ought to be unblocked requires a lot of effort, so it just never happens. Honestly one of the biggest stumbling blocks is remembering why I blocked someone in the first place, was it rudeness? Simping for a billionaire? NFTs? Alt Right? A bad joke? If I can't even remember why, I can't begin to reverse that decision. On twitter, once you're gone, you're gone
In your case, I probably read a tweet thread very briefly and just went with it, until this moment I have never heard of kiwi farms, so it wasn't really a properly informed decision
I have been looking at cohost with a different attitude, there's not really a lot in the way of gross stuff here and something tells me there may never be. So far, you're the only person I've seen here that I know I've got blocked on twitter and for what little it's worth, I've unblocked you now
Being online is, indeed, exhausting
