The Shiwi is a nickname given to the soyjak.party kiwifarms thread, which is considered a splinter on its own right for its notability and having its own identity.
History
The Shiwi was created on the January 23rd of 2023 by user Crannoppwel as a way to explain basic soysphere culture and happenings to a kiwi farms audience.[1] The thread remained as way to discuss events in a non-imageboard fashion, however it received an influx of soyteen immigrants who started using it as an extension of the sharty, sharing the same memes, soyduels and whatnot; in turn, alienating any regular kiwifarms users from browsing it. This made the shiwi also get turned into a shitposting gateway and social hub, with its own long-time notable posters an inside jokes, turning into a subculture of the forum itself that is unique from the rest of Kiwifarms.
Thread Culture
Shiwi regulars transheart being (or larping as) sharty oldfags, and will continue to post outdated memes such as making a lot of blacked jokes long after those have lost popularity on the soysphere. The thread is also considered the sharty's "retirement home" due to said oldfags using it to complain about about the current state of soy culture and share hate of the current administration, particularly Froot, who also constantly posted on the thread despite the hate that he received from Shiwers.[2] In a typical soyteen manner, they have mocked the ways of traditional Kiwi Farmers and often clashed with Null and his jannies, who struggle to understand soysphere culture and thus don't moderate the thread in a way that Shiwi 'teens desire. Examples of this relationship are the multiple ban waves targeting users of the thread and constant influx of OC from Shiwi browsers mocking Null and his janny called Trombonista. Another popular tradition is adding a big bold red text saying [ANTI-NULL CLITTY LEAKAGE THUMBNAIL EMBED] in every post that includes images as a way to make fun of Null's obsession on asking users that all images on his website gets thumbnailed instead of being posted in full-size (even though he could easily just make a script that automatically does that automatically to every image posted).
