Do we have a chance to survive if another terminally online TIM throws their users at us, at SaidIt, or at CloudFlare?

Depends on how big the campaign is, honestly. Kiwi Farms had rumors floating around that they had been responsible for the death of multiple TIPs for years now, not true but a very seductive lie to a lot of the internet. That helped make it all the much more simple to remove them. The site we're on right now doesn't have that great of a reputation, but nowhere near as universally hated by TIPs.

It also helps that Drop The T is an actual movement, meaning we have in-person groups, too. So whatever happens to us online, it won't put a stop to our organizations and get togethers. Oh, and the dark web is always an option, not difficult to set up a very basic forum on an .onion site if necessary.

Way ahead of you ;)

The problem with the dark web is that it’s easy to get lost in it. It’s like a rabbit hole. So we must set up shop on backup sites.

Huh? My experience has always been the exact opposite - it's very hard to actually get anywhere because there are no active search engines and the URLs are all gibberish.

I have tried to start a discussion board on the dark web before partly because of the convenience of not having to set up a domain name with a registrar. It was something I used with my friends and friends of friends to discuss video games and anime. It very quickly attracted the attention of dark web spammers that offer services for fake vaccine passports, forged documents, stolen credit cards, and so on.

We did not represent an ideology, a movement, or talk about politics much beyond current events, but if you are not careful and vigilant you can quickly become associated with illegal operations.
