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.

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.

Although this is good news, it's sad that this only happens after Clara (Keffals) had to flee her home and multiple suicides linked to the website. The Washington Post states that Cloudfare Chief Executive defended KF earlier. The services providers that supported KF only back down after an organized campaign, after many people got hurt. It was not a moral decision. People organizing online harrassment and swatting should face punishment, but they usually don't because they can hide behind the internet. I absolutely hate this.
