Still entirely too many people over at old KIA2
posted 5 years ago by Piroko 5 years ago by Piroko +79 / -0

Are the mods ever going to lock old KIA2 to force the issue? There's still a thousand people online over there.

You guys are already ahead of faggot-filled kotakuinaction1 or whatever you call it. Idk why those tools even opened a .win if they're gonna enforce the same faggot rules they claim made them up and leave in the first place. KiA2 master race.

Tl;dr: kotakuinaction1 sucks a big fat reddit slathered dick and they had no reason to even make a .win if they’re gonna mod it the exact same way as they did their shitty subreddit. The only KiA that should be here is you guys since you’re actively targeted over on faggit. I already got (proudly) banned by one their faggot mods (Shadist) for calling them out on their bullshit reddit rules. What a colossal pussy.

There are plenty of things to love about the .win network, but perhaps my favorite guilty pleasure is getting to watch KiA get exposed for what it is in real time.

I dunno. I've virtually stopped posting/checking on the plantation. I like being able to vocalize my real thoughts without having to run it through a censorship filter.

See even when I WAS trying eventually something would slip and id cop a ban...

Most recent one was 8 days for the following:

Other user - Communism is like a weed: you need to rip it out at the roots.

My reply - you can also use roundup... or would that be an allegory to gassing?

....this is considered "Violent Speech" by Retarddit

u/Piroko

Guy's I'd like to, but I think the CSS is borked at the moment and won't work. I'll have to talk to doggos first. Then I have to actually see about manually implementing the CSS, because I think it's pure CSS. No, slightly friendly Reddit specific commands, methods, or variables.

Is it possible to add a direct link to this site? Or does that go against some unwritten site wide rule

permalink parent save report block reply
▲ 3 ▼
– DomitiusOfMassilia [M] 3 points 5 years ago +3 / -0

Quite literally the latter.

All .win sites are automatically removed by the sitewide auto-filter.

I've even had modmail chats with other moderators where their messages are highlighted in red (which normally indicates a comment removal).

They genuinely must have written something in their code which says "remove all instances of .win, everywhere on Reddit, under every & all circumstances." and it's causing strange issues to crop up.

I tend to agree. They will need to learn by experience. I'm not going to try and force that experience on them, but they need to take the initiative for themselves to leave.

Letting the user base grow organically is the best course of action, imo. I think KiA2.win is already starting off extremely well and I find the UI tone much better then Saidit, so I wouldn’t worry about activity disappearing.

I can lead a horse to water, but I can't make it drink.

In this case it's more like:

I have horse. It was drinking from a watering hole that has alligators in it. It already witnessed 4 of it's friends get attacked and dragged into the lake. So, I led a horse to a watering station, built 3 separate troughs with different flavored water, offered them up, and the horse looks at me like I'm a fucking idiot and says, "But my friends are over by the watering hole! I'm already used to the watering hole."

...

"Listen here you little shit..."

I'm not going to try an force their hand. It's been recommended to me, but I feel like that might be a violation of the users trust to just lock posts, or even private the sub for a while.

– Killroyomega 9 points 5 years ago +9 / -0

For me it was more, "This watering hole is full of shit and alligators, but that one is full of poison and the other one has a rather menacing poacher giving me the stink eye."

The .win setup isn't already setup for a censorship spiral in four months after it inevitably gets a few articles attacking it.

People are going to post where they're most comfortable, and there are still reasons to be on Reddit. I lurk in various writing forums like /r/hfy for instance.

It's going to take Reddit banning KIA and/or KIA2 before you'll get a large migration. At least people are actually posting on here.

Us at the Donald went through this as well. It just takes time. More and more people will migrate over slowly as they get fed up with Reddit’s communist shit. Then it will all the sudden take off.

This is already a far more successful replacement for reddit than any other of the alternative locations, and it's less than a week old.

I think the people coming over from T_D.win to say hello helped make it a bit more busy.

– JustHereForTheSalmon 5 points 5 years ago +5 / -0

I think it's been split a few too many ways. Saidit, Poal, and now here.

Gotta plead ignorance, but I'm not sure any locations, even this one, have a killer feature other than the fact that you can actually say what you want. So long as it stays this way, Reddit will always be "home plate".

Until they ban it, I guess.

You are asking people to break habits and routines that they have been doing for awhile.

Also while its easy to setup the shortcut and the mobile version of the site is decent, the reddit app is still more convenient and a smoother experience for people to use. Never underestimate how much a small inconvenience will turn away people.

I already swapped my bookmarks to .win but there are more post on reddit's kia2 than there are over here.

I don't post must, mostly lurk and sometimes comment. I imagine there are loads of people like and if .win wants them to come and stay the amount of posts needs to be almost 1:1 with reddit kia2

Strongly encourage people to install the FireFox 'Redirector' plugin and set it up with a redirect as demonstrated here:

https://media.kotakuinaction2.win/post/RD4KymiL.png

If your browser auto redirects you to the KIA2.win, you won't even need to think about Reddit.

I said female moderators are usually abusing their power.

I just got off an 8 dayer for making a weedkiller joke after someone refereed to commies as weeds that needed to be pulled up by the roots... I suggested: "you can also use roundup... or would that be an allegory to gassing?"
