KF Lock Down - Questions -

[Reverend]

Because I am curious:

1. What was the quantity of new users in the last week in number?
2. What finally drove the lockdown to occur in registration?
3. When will the lockdown be lifted?
4. Can we establish a 1 week moratorium on new accounts to only lurk before posting?

I think the lockdowns should stay in effect for a while. It would be too easy for some glowie to come on here, and get the site shut down right now.

I agree with this statement and I am not dismissing the lockdown as it is needed during this incoming flood of autistic rejects from the various social media sites.

It would also be interesting to see the analytics of where the users came from (Reddit, twitter, facebook, etc.) as a reflection of what drove them here.

The lockdown is a good idea but it should be retroactively applied by banning everyone who registered after 2014.

1.
2. I noticed during downtime became of high interest to the general public due to rumors that the site was closed by a outside pressure, and I did not want that attention to convert to political user registrations.
3. idk
4. No, I want people to join for lolcow content and have immediate access to that discussion.

A glowie could get the shut down easily for any reason they wanted, truth be damned.

True, but no reason to make it easier for them imo.

New user's avatars should glow in the dark.

I have no willpower. @MrTroll 's proposal will therefore set me free! I need a soundtrack appropriately hippie to announce my forthcoming liberation.

I want that function, anyway. Radioactive Faust would be cute.

If you're pushing back towards more lolcow based interest it sends a mixed message to have political threads pinned on the home page

Fair enough, but what you post sets an example to people on the site either on the home page or in the threads and if you want us to go look for weirdos to talk about instead of politics imo you should be seen to do the same.

 

[usernames can change now!]

So if I'm understanding this right
>site goes down because of disk issues
>coincidently at the same time Parler is being blacklisted and Trump banned
>this made kiwifarms appear multiple times on the front page of /pol/
>Dear Feeder acted swiftly to halt the migrant caravan, build a wall, and shut the gates

I think this site is mostly about laughing at stupid people over the internet, and it so happens that sometimes stupid people doing stupid things are politically motivated.
Politics go awry when it's not about actual comedic content, but users seeking political discourse amongst eachother which is generally not very funny and more dumb anger than anything.
I think there's some exceptions, like HHH posting moderately obvious bait or just having a different opinion from the norm here getting a ton of people mad at him is hilarious to see, but 5600 pages of /pol/ posting is rather uninteresting and gives the site an increased draw to the types of people who want to shitpost specifically worded threats that will get the site FBI inquiries and risk imperiling the site's intended purpose to laugh at corprophile sex tapes intended to "own the haters" and Wolverine action figures.

I joined this site to originally to laugh at DSP, and during my time here I have found other things to laugh at, and general conversation to be had. I am glad we have built a wall to keep the illegal political refugees out, to keep hem from shitting all over this site. Any time I browse political threads, it is all a bunch of low energy POVs and people crying about how @Hollywood Hulk Hogan is mean for not sucking MAGA cock. We gain nothing by their inclusion on our funny website.

IMHO lockdown should remain in place until at least a week or so after Biden's inauguration. Possibly longer, depending on the state of the Farms and the overall state of political discourse across the internets.
