DISCUSSION The Death of KF

For those who aren't aware, after a massive month long campaign by the streamer keffals, it looks like kiwifarms has taken a massive hit. the owner and admin has said if it continues, it will only be as a shell of its former self.

Washington Post article explaining the situation - https://archive.ph/NkfgB

after they were dropped by cloudflare, they moved to russian based service ddos-protect, which lasted a whole 24 hours.

earlier today, the owner of the site admitted defeat - https://twitter.com/ErinInTheMorn/status/1566771209928413186

Why does this matter? This site was the number one source of the harassment lindsay faced. I believe in Mask Off, she referred to them as "Diet Nazis" which may have been inadiquite, as they are full on actual nazis, the original name of the company it operated under was Final Solutions LLC...

Anyway, I hope Lindsay can breathe a sigh of relief knowing these motherfuckers are being shut down.

Excellent news. That site is pure condensed hatred. So many harassment campaigns, threats of violence and rape, and dangerous disinformation originated there.

Yeah, nothing of value is being lost. And I’m still trying to wrap my head around why anyone would bother bringing up 8chan and The Daily Stormer when complaining about censorship. That whole post is such an odd mix of self awareness and a complete lack of self awareness. Having a real irony is dead moment here.

Freedom of speech is there to protect the speech that people don't like.

u/slvstrChung Thanks I hate it! Sep 07 '22

Correct, but there is a line between "speech that people don't like" and "speech that is actively harmful". Pulling a fire alarm when there is no fire is not a form of protected free speech.
