WARNING WARNING
It's also run by a Putin and Stalin worshipping crazy lady
"they/them x iel/ielle" really just means "a heterosexual couple"
If there is one thing I have learned after 8 years of running a mobile detailing van, with about a third of my jobs being boats or planes in fancy private storage spaces, it's that there is absolutely zero correlation between having the ability to drop a hundred grand or two on a vanity purchase and having any common sense whatsoever. It used to really grind my gears how clueless some of my clients are, but they really are only human at the end of the day and now I find it funny when they say something completely out-of-touch. I only wish I was clever or lucky enough to find myself in similar wealth.
This is probably the most condescending comment I have read on HN all year.

This looks very promising. I'm surprised this is my first time hearing of it.

Thanks for spreading this some more. Funny enough, I got that link from reading an archived version of Keffals' thread on KF while trying to get a bead on the situation myself. At best, KF threads are a simple public record of a person's online presence, (that they themselves posted publicly initially) content which I believe should absolutely be online. At worst, the popularity of threads about trans/autistic people on KF amounts to an incentive to provoke the "lolcow" into providing more "milk", which I would say is definitely a form of harassment.

Perhaps this will lead to a successor site with a similar "mission" that consists only of what would be a thread OP on KF, without the thousands of pages that follow wherein people say the n-word as many times as they can.

I believe the implication is that the priority is for a general international audience ala Disney
Here is an excellent writeup on the forum and the recent drama, that is not actively trying to push an agenda on the situation.
