I'll believe byuu cares about preserving history when he's stopped blocking the Wayback Machine from archiving his site. Edit: The good work someone has done is no excuse for anything. > The problem is that the internet is not like any other time in human history: everything we ever say and do gets recorded and indexed, all readily available to anyone curious, for all of time. This is new, and it's something that soc…

I would like to point out that byuu's recent response to that thread was composed and dignified: https://kiwifarms.net/threads/byuu-byuu_nyan-setsunakun0.430... . As someone with who wasn't familiar with the drama I came away with the impression that byuu handled it rather well in the end (and also has grown as a person thanks to it). It does make me wonder if from the perspective of PR and reducing further trolling…
Hey it could be worse, imagine having a link to your own KF thread in a frontpage HN article. Now that's a bad look ^-^; Referring to GP, of course. I appreciate the link to my reply. For any folks here that read the post, please also read my reply if you don't mind. For folks who don't read the thread at all, just note that this is about me saying dumb things online, mostly when I was a young adult. I haven't actual…
Creating, and more importantly, maintaining, a major open source project takes guts, skill, and tenacity. Take a deep breath, tell yourself “good job” and know deep down that you’ve accomplished something that only an infinitesimally small number of people on this earth are able to achieve.
Losers gonna lose, I guess. You’re not a loser. You don’t owe those losers anything, least of all your time.

Same. It seems he's also blocking other archiver tools by showing "Please click the button below to enter byuu.org: [I am not a robot button]": https://archive.vn/NYreE

If a site disobeys robots.txt, I see no particular issue in taking further measures to dissuade it.
(For those who don't know, Byuu is a member here and will likely see comments in this thread.) Hi Byuu. You don't know me, but I've been a fan of your work since the early days of bsnes. I've also seen at least some of your "detractors'" criticisms, while lurking. (My "favorite" was that you don't know enough math to emulate the 3D graphics of the N64, because you didn't stay in school. I didn't know they taught how…
Working on bsnes and higan were the things that made me most happy. Well, bug hunting was of course stressful but the joy of fixing a bug and seeing new games running was always well worth it! I'm definitely going to miss it a lot. It was everything else that was a problem. If I could have just been left alone to code in peace and without all these pesky health and work issues, I'd be very happy to continue. I think…

I would guess that the new maintainers of your projects stand a fair chance of considering your pull requests!

If you want to slog through it here is the post mentioned in the OP: https://kiwifarms.net/threads/byuu-byuu_nyan-setsunakun0.430...

I think that was wise advice. There's a temptation to be like 'wait, no, I'm cool: let me show how I'm basically cool with this' and it'll play well to some extent but there's a limit. In a place like that you are not there to demonstrate your coolness: either you're trying to 'show them' (bad attitude) or you're offended and angry that they are slighting you (worse attitude!)
We are all basically 'lolcows' and 'cool people' at the same time. Trying to post a defense against being a lolcow shows a kind of arrogance that the whole site is set up to exploit: best to just not respond, and not to be too judgemental or offended. I try to do stuff that doesn't belong on Kiwi Farms and is not worthy of their attention. I try to be a very uninteresting, dried-up, unrewarding lolcow :)

I clicked that link expecting to be horrified and was still shocked by the first thing I glanced at. Thanks for linking, but I wouldn't advise anyone to click it. It's not worth it.
To be fair, I have a much better fursona now ^-^;; https://twitter.com/Kampidh/status/1234029776144175110 (it's G-rated, don't worry.)

I'd be awfully hesitant to trust factual claims made by people who speak and behave as that site's users do. Nothing I've seen from them suggests a willingness to scruple at fabricating evidence.
On the contrary, Kiwis are meticulous about verifying and preserving evidence. Posting information about someone without third-party archive links or some other way to verify what you're saying will result in you, at best, being politely reminded to post verification. If it's verified that you were intentionally posting false information to stir up drama, you will likely be banned and maybe even have your own thread…
what words are those?
