Agreed.Feels weird Cloudflare took down their services for 8chan but not 4chan? Like 4chan is just as toxic.
8chan was specifically called out by media outlets and public figures. If they were also putting out stories with titles like "What is 4chan, the website that spawned digital havens for domestic terrorists?" we'd probably see action taken.Feels weird Cloudflare took down their services for 8chan but not 4chan?

They need evidence. 8chan got taken down because there are evidences related to the shootings.Feels weird Cloudflare took down their services for 8chan but not 4chan? Like 4chan is just as toxic.

4Chan has actually split the site in two, presumably to bring in advertisers and to isolate the likely parts of the framework that would eventually be taken down.
wtf at the twitter comments for the admin...people are calling him a "true patriot"
Asshole probably changed his tune after his lawyers talked to him
4chan is just as dangerous imo. The reason is because they hide behind some sort of legitimacy. I've seen people repeatedly say how "there's only some bad parts" of that site. People go for the memes and become radicalized in the process.Feels weird Cloudflare took down their services for 8chan but not 4chan? Like 4chan is just as toxic.
Sure, god forbid you guys actually address why we're constantly showing lenience to the 60yo who spent a thread shouting down people who show concern to teenagers in potentially abusive situations, insults members who have faced sexual abuse in the past showing concern over it, repeatedly glorifies, describes and romanticises large age-gap sex with teenagers and "beautiful young bodies" and is now upset members are cheering 8chan closing.Official Staff CommunicationLet's move on from the discussion of one member. Thank you.
We finally beat the alt-right and America is saved, again! They'll definitely never get back from this, just like they never did overcome being displatformed on 4chan several years ago!
I don't think that's what anyone is saying tbhWe finally beat the alt-right and America is saved, again! They'll definitely never get back from this, just like they never did overcome being displatformed on 4chan several years ago!
The Wikipedia article is quite something.Kiwifarms now seems to be down - I believe it was still up last night. Had only recently heard of that one and couldn't believe it was still standing when I saw it. These distilled grandchildren of /b/ are horrific, and about what you'd expect from people who loved that shithole in their teens and somehow never gained an ounce of self awareness or humanity in the decade and a half since.
In March 2019, Kiwi Farms became notable for republishing both the livestream and the manifesto of Brenton Tarrant, the perpetrator of the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings. Shortly after, Moon publicly denied a request by New Zealand Police to voluntarily hand over all data on posts relating to the shooting, including the IP addresses of posters and their emails.[9] Moon responded aggressively, calling New Zealand a "shithole country",[9] and stated that he does not "give a single solitary fuck what section 50 of your faggot law says about sharing your email".[10][11]
Rotten to the core. Never surprised but ever saddened to be reminded people like that exist.
Which still isn't an argument against trying to get rid of them though? They might be more likely to come back but if they're cut off at the root they're forced into smaller and smaller pools.KF isn't anonymous though, so even if this is more than just a server blackout (did Cloudfare announce Kiwifarms "departure" as well and I missed it?) they're way more likely to return from this than the Chans.
No, of course not? And I don't think I framed it as one. I'm all in favor of deplatforming these asshats, I just haven't heard anything about Kiwifarms before this post. If it's just a server outage (or "just" their host getting rid of them, which would be preferrable), they could easily migrate the whole thing, accounts and recent posts et all and the world wouldn't be better off.Which still isn't an argument against trying to get rid of them though?

Wikipedia, like they're discussing a mediocre movie:
I thought this was that Cloudflare had dumped shitheels, they planned to scatter to BitMitigate (protects Daily Stormer) as it was owned and protected by Epik (protects Gab) but both have now had their spine cracked by Voxility who were hosting them.No, of course not?

So in short, all I'm saying is: Are we sure KF got nuked by their host, or are we only going by the usual Cloudfare error message?
If KF's included in the OPs ban spree by Epik and Voxility, that's a-ok with me then :D Wonder if there's other shit hiding behind the "and more" part we didn't realize yet lol.I thought this was that Cloudflare had dumped shitheels, they planned to scatter to BitMitigate (protects Daily Stormer) as it was owned and protected by Epik (protects Gab) but both have now had their spine cracked by Voxility who were hosting them.

Yep. People keep pushing the "they''ll just go somewhere else" point think it's clever but it really isn't. Yes. They will have to move somewhere else, which requires time, effort, resources, information exchange. Projects in progress and former avenues for easy sharing and production of rhetoric are reset to zero. Despite the internet being open there's a reason people don't just establish a YT alternative for everyone to migrate to: because it's not easy and not perfect and things are lost in the transition. Same goes for these places where the alt-right congregate. It takes effort to move even on the internet and stomping down one anthill is a blow to the community within.
Harrassing and doxxing website.What is kiwifarms? I found it a while back. A lot of our names are in/om that site... Low-key thats a reason to make some stuff private on the site.
Won't matter. Their bot auto archives everything you post, if you're on it.What is kiwifarms? I found it a while back. A lot of our names are in/om that site... Low-key thats a reason to make some stuff private on the site.
