https://www.vice.com/en/article/4axnwg/kiwi-farms-is-down-after-cloudflare-boots-the-site-as-a-customerVice posted:Cloudflare blocked service to Kiwi Farms, a notoriously transphobic forum with users that stalked, harassed and doxed vulnerable people since it started in 2013, on Saturday, according to an announcement made by Cloudflare co-founder and CEO Matthew Prince. The decision follows weeks of public pressure for Cloudflare to drop its protection service to the site. who was funding these assholes enough to make it worth cloudflare's time to keep them around for this long

I thought the guy who ran that site took it down years ago after he himself got doxxed or something.

Cloudflare only "cares" when they get bad press, because Matthew Prince is an alt-right shithead that has no problem with hosting these sites. They were unwilling to remove KiwiFarts as a customer until site owners started threatening to leave Cloudflare.

There's no way that it's a coincidence that this is happening now, so soon after Marjorie Taylor Greene was on Fox News claiming that "radical leftists" from Kiwifarms were trying to kill her, and demanding someone shut them down: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/marjorie-taylor-greene-house-swatted-second-night-1234581527/ Lmao. Some real Alien vs. Predator poo poo, this.

Good times when Lowtax popped back into SA after a hiatus and was gushing about how awesome KF was and how SA really needed more of that sort of 'humor', then made a bunch of lovely changes to the forums.

Ok so: This is a fraught topic in some respects. The basics are: 1) treat each other with respect 2) feel free to make fun of Kiwifarms and wish that they get zapped from the internet for good 3) just because someone disagrees with you doesn't make them a horrible person Uh.. guess I didn't need to close this. My bad. Sorry Really, mostly I'm going by what happened in the schad thread when this came up so I'm a bit more touchy on it but I'm sure y'all will be good... right?

Oh good I was hoping we'd get a thread so I can ask: What's their connection to us? My memory is they split off (or just grew?) around the "lowtax finds out" saga and were either part of the original wave, or later just latched on to, stalking chris chan?

like if SA servers ran out of tube space or trucking capacity or whatever the internet runs on there would probably be a /r sub in a second we would have to deal with up votes and poo poo, my crusty brain still doesnt like em, but we would push on or id start posting on bodybuilding dot com

buglord posted:I heard she got swatted but didn't know it was by KF until now lol. Probably wasn't really Kiwifarms, but she's made a huge and high profile stink about it, yeah. Radical transgender leftists from Kiwifarms want her dead, and she wants them stopped. It's obviously something doesn't quite click here, but nobody is really going to go up to bat for Kiwifarms and be all, "Madam, I do believe you are mistaken and have been misinformed about the purpose and politics of this website! I think if you were to sit down with your average Kiwifarms user, you'd find you agree on more issues than not!"

I faintly remember a tweet or message from the KF owner asking the users to chill with the doxxing/harassment because this was their last possible host. do they just go from self hosting where the founder puts a server in the house and keeps it running 24/7, or does it not work like that?

Gonna cross post from pyf tweets thread... Here's a tweet from a reporter for NBC News https://twitter.com/oneunderscore__/status/1565797220531814406?t=oIMOPns8AdKdEAMbSYI6Yw&s=19 You can read a summary there but he also links the article he wrote about Kiwi farms: https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/internet/cloudflare-kiwi-farms-keffals-anti-trans-rcna44834 In that article he links to this article from Vice (it's in french so i read the translated version) which actually mentions something awful and calls us a "hotbed of digital wickedness" because people went after Chris Chan back in the day. Wonder if the press will look into us too. Jeffrey may have some 'splainin to do We are getting lumped in with them. It's just a french vice article but still, it bothered me to see us mentioned that way. Dixville fucked around with this message at 04:28 on Sep 4, 2022 |
