<2022-10-24T03:52:24.000Z> Sprate: Hey, is that lolcow/e-celeb trivia thing still happening?
<2022-10-24T03:52:39.000Z> chudbere: yes i still want to do that
<2022-10-24T03:52:57.000Z> chudbere: i've just been so busy with our kids and this server I haven't had time to do much work on setting it up yet
<2022-10-24T03:53:09.000Z> chudbere: beyond getting some format ideas figured out
<2022-10-24T03:53:40.000Z> Sprate: I'd be down to help put together some trivia questions, once the Farms are back up
<2022-10-24T03:53:58.000Z> chudbere: that would be great
<2022-10-24T03:54:27.000Z> chudbere: I'll probably do a jeopardy-like format with questions in different categories
<2022-10-24T03:54:43.000Z> chudbere: and some worth more points depending on difficulty
<2022-10-24T03:55:46.000Z> chudbere: this also will let me be creative with some special questions like if they pick a certain block it might have an audio clue where they have to identify the lolcow who said the quote, etc
<2022-10-24T03:56:21.000Z> Sprate: Ha! I like that idea
<2022-10-24T03:57:35.000Z> Sprate: Whichever direction you wanna take it is cool with me, I just like the idea of more community building activities like this
<2022-10-24T03:58:22.000Z> chudbere: yeah i do too, I want to maybe do some contests as well for amazon gift cards
<2022-10-24T03:58:35.000Z> chudbere: fan art contest, gunt poetry slam, idk
<2022-10-24T03:59:20.000Z> Sprate: I think I saw Gartic Phone get mentioned? That's definitely a good idea, that game's really fun
<2022-10-24T03:59:36.000Z> chudbere: oh yes, i used to play that with viewers on my stream all the time
<2022-10-25T19:58:26.000Z> Sprate: Hey, do you know someone who could set up a Twitter bot for me?
<2022-10-25T19:59:00.000Z> chudbere: I don't, i'm sorry
<2022-10-25T19:59:07.000Z> chudbere: but you could make a post about it and I'll RT it
<2022-10-25T19:59:19.000Z> Sprate: Sick, I'll do that
<2022-10-25T19:59:22.000Z> Sprate: Thanks
<2022-10-25T19:59:32.000Z> chudbere: sure!
<2022-10-25T20:06:25.000Z> Sprate: My post is up btw
<2022-10-25T20:12:26.000Z> chudbere: shared it
<2022-10-25T20:13:12.000Z> Sprate: Thanks, look like Graf got it figured out
<2022-10-25T20:14:14.000Z> chudbere: awesome
<2022-10-31T05:57:22.000Z> Sprate: Hey, there's a guy in the Poast thread on KF saying he was banned from Chud Buds faster than he was on Poast, seemingly just for posting a Fediverse Wiki article. 
<2022-10-31T05:57:38.000Z> Sprate: Was just curious what the deal with him is: http://kiwifarmsaaf4t2h7gc3dfc5ojhmqruw2nit3uejrpiagrxeuxiyxcyd.onion/threads/poa-st-general-discussion-thread.129209/post-13091904
<2022-10-31T05:58:04.000Z> chudbere: one sec lemme find brave on my computer to open that
<2022-10-31T05:59:44.000Z> Sprate: He made a second post a couple posts down in the thread btw
<2022-10-31T06:01:27.000Z> chudbere: yeah i see that but i don't see that username in our moderation logs 
<2022-10-31T06:02:05.000Z> Sprate: I guess I could ask him what his username is
<2022-10-31T06:08:00.000Z> chudbere: please do, cause I don't see anything with that username that even existed on our instance. There's a forthehoard on kiwifarms.cc and one on poa.st
<2022-10-31T06:09:08.000Z> Sprate: I responded in the thread but also DM'd him, will let you know when he responds
<2022-10-31T06:09:24.000Z> chudbere: okay
<2022-10-31T07:33:04.000Z> Sprate: He said in DM's he's not really worried about it, says if he wanted to come back he'd just make a sock. Doesn't sound really upset to me, so I guess we're all good?
<2022-10-31T07:35:14.000Z> chudbere: okay, I mean if you want to post publicly in the thread that you talked to me about it. I don't want folks to think we ban willy nilly over here. I don't show him ever having an account over here at all in our logs, and we've only banned a handful of local users, either for fedposting, gaping assholes as their banner photo, or posting dox. ForTheHoard doesn't need to have a sock to come back, just make an account under that name and I'll approve it myself. 
<2022-10-31T07:39:59.000Z> Sprate: I mean, I've already said in the thread that Chud Buds doesn't dish out bans like crazy, and the dude sounded fine in DM's. It's probably the best "PR move" to let it be for now. 
<2022-10-31T07:40:15.000Z> Sprate: If it comes up again I'll address it.
<2022-10-31T07:40:21.000Z> chudbere: okay
<2022-10-31T07:40:54.000Z> chudbere: i wonder if he's making it up? I honestly can't recall a ban like that but who knows
<2022-10-31T07:41:39.000Z> Sprate: It's possible. It could also be that some weird technical bug fucked something up? Who knows
<2022-10-31T07:42:27.000Z> Sprate: And most kiwis have this ^^^ sentiment in mind when reading threads, so it's unlikely CB's image will be affected much from one guy.
<2022-10-31T07:48:09.000Z> chudbere: right it just makes me think there was some dude on twitter who was complaining about being banned from chudbuds super fast
<2022-10-31T07:48:16.000Z> chudbere: Punished Lavrov or something
<2022-10-31T07:48:33.000Z> chudbere: he's a Ralph dickrider
<2022-10-31T07:49:09.000Z> Sprate: Yeah, someone you'd doubt would be on Kiwi Farms 🤔
<2022-10-31T07:52:55.000Z> chudbere: yeah i found it
<2022-10-31T07:53:07.000Z> chudbere: he must have been banned in that wave yesterday
<2022-10-31T07:53:14.000Z> chudbere: on twitter
<2022-10-31T07:53:36.000Z> Sprate: RIP my mans, got punished twice 🙏
<2022-10-31T07:53:48.000Z> chudbere: the wording was really similar though, bitching that chud buds bans faster than poast
<2022-10-31T07:54:12.000Z> chudbere: idk it's maybe nothing but it does get the "noggin joggin" as jim would say
<2022-10-31T07:54:31.000Z> Sprate: Ooo, I actually do remember dude saying that...
<2022-10-31T07:55:22.000Z> chudbere: i wonder if i screencapped it, one sec
<2022-10-31T07:55:32.000Z> chudbere: cause he came up in another post recently
<2022-10-31T07:55:41.000Z> chudbere: i think he made a thread about Ultros
<2022-10-31T07:56:00.000Z> Sprate: Of course, most in the sektur don't have another instance to compare to besides Poast, and if someone is complaining about a perceived quick ban, Poast WOULD be an apt comparison
<2022-10-31T07:56:44.000Z> Sprate: Especially when Kiwi Farms and Ralph are aligned on shitting on Poast 
<2022-10-31T07:56:57.000Z> Sprate: (at least partially in KF's case)
<2022-10-31T07:58:01.000Z> chudbere: i knew i had capped it somewhere
<2022-10-31T07:58:05.000Z> chudbere: i was wrong
<2022-10-31T07:58:10.000Z> chudbere: compared us to twitter not poast
<2022-10-31T07:58:14.000Z> Sprate: You were close though!
<2022-10-31T07:58:14.000Z> chudbere: so yeah, probably nothing
<2022-10-31T07:58:21.000Z> Sprate: and yeah, "groyper"
<2022-11-05T05:30:45.000Z> Sprate: I might be interested in writing some for The Daily Chud
<2022-11-05T05:31:46.000Z> Sprate: I had one idea in particular, "A Defense of 'Lolcow Culture'"
<2022-11-05T05:32:55.000Z> Sprate: Could do an analysis of how other big communities act online, and times when their behavior has mirrored much of KF's, like when Twitter dogpiles someone or a commentary channel keeps making videos on the same person
<2022-11-05T05:38:05.000Z> chudbere: sounds good! would this be a multi-part thing?
<2022-11-05T05:39:35.000Z> Sprate: I had in mind just one part
<2022-11-05T05:40:30.000Z> Sprate: The end goal of the piece would be to defend "lolcow culture" because KF and spaces like it aren't the only places fascinated by "divergent psychology"
<2022-11-05T05:41:28.000Z> chudbere: okay! Well my suggestion would be to write up what you want in your favorite text editor/docs app
<2022-11-05T05:41:44.000Z> chudbere: then copy and paste it here https://blog.chudbuds.org/index.php/submit-a-post/
<2022-11-05T05:41:57.000Z> Sprate: Alright!
<2022-11-05T05:42:02.000Z> chudbere: since you just want to do the one post, this would be the easiest way
<2022-11-05T05:42:10.000Z> chudbere: won't have to assign you a wordpress login etc
<2022-11-05T05:42:13.000Z> Sprate: I mean, I could maybe do more down the line
<2022-11-05T05:42:18.000Z> chudbere: sure!
<2022-11-05T05:42:52.000Z> Sprate: Don't have anything in mind, but I've been involved heavily in the Keffals stuff and was privy to most of the goings-on of the monkey zoosadist debacle
<2022-11-05T05:43:30.000Z> chudbere: if you have images/screenshots to include in your post beyond the "featured image" just upload them to imgur or something and put the links to them inline in the post
<2022-11-05T05:43:41.000Z> chudbere: then I can grab the images later when editing it for publication
<2022-11-05T05:43:49.000Z> Sprate: 👌
<2022-11-07T04:07:26.000Z> Sprate: Hey, just wanted to let you know I'm probably not gonna get to that article idea anytime soon. IRL stuff plus everything else happening online right now has got me too scatterbrained to focus on sitting down and writing a full piece. Sorry :/
<2022-11-07T04:08:05.000Z> chudbere: no worries!!
<2023-01-03T07:47:39.000Z> Sprate: Hey, since Chud Buds is the site I'm second-most active on (and I link my CB account on my KF profile) I thought I'd just give you fair warning that I'm potentially pissing off a very volatile, prone-to-raiding community, and they could, potentially, try and fuck with the site somehow.
<2023-01-03T07:47:48.000Z> Sprate: https://kiwifarms.net/threads/foodists-foodistzen-malagasy-clay-eaters-clay-party-homophobe-army.136362/
<2023-01-03T07:47:58.000Z> Sprate: This group, specifically
<2023-01-03T07:48:20.000Z> chudbere: lol who are these fags
<2023-01-03T07:48:42.000Z> chudbere: when you say raiding like what, make accounts and post porn and shit?
<2023-01-03T07:48:51.000Z> Sprate: Zoomer, cowtipping, no-obvious-boundaries version of Kiwi Farms
<2023-01-03T07:49:04.000Z> Sprate: Raids like that, yes
<2023-01-03T07:49:08.000Z> Sprate: Also like
<2023-01-03T07:49:09.000Z> chudbere: okay
<2023-01-03T07:49:14.000Z> Sprate: Everything else that's bad
<2023-01-03T07:49:18.000Z> Sprate: Lol
<2023-01-03T07:49:32.000Z> Sprate: No need to be alarmed currently, just keep an eye out
<2023-01-03T07:49:38.000Z> chudbere: will do
