And what's funny about this? The people leading the charge to bury kiwifarms (and "curate" sites like Reddit and Twitter) scream in outrage when people like Ajit Pai are in a position to control the Internet's unrestricted flow of thoughts and information. Proving that it's not the control that they object to, but only that the control isn't theirs.

I think this is scary as hell. I'm watching the first amendment get trampled over and big tech consolidating their power. Only approved narratives are allowed. This is the kind of stuff Ted Kaczynski wrote about.

People need to take the descentralization from Big Tech seriously. Saidit's main weakness is how relatively unpopular it is and there are many ways everyone can help spread the use of the site. We can still put up a fight and I sure as hell won't let them win.

    Yeah, Kiwi Farms goes way way the fuck past the first amendment. It's essentially on online site for a gang to plot, scheme and terrorize whoever they don't like

    Do you have any evidence of that? It's the kind of thing I keep hearing about, but haven't actually seen browsing KF. There's doxxing on both sides of the fight. The bomb threat looks staged as hell though: https://i.imgur.com/ChzaT89.jpg. Their site like ours forbids anything against US law.

    This seems like the sort of underhanded stuff AHS does to kill subs they don't like, and the real issue is a rather scummy trans person flexing their online muscles to silence their detractors.

    That post's glow can be seen from fucking space it's such an obvious false flag. The other post used to condemn KF was made on 4Chan, which will no doubt be used to go after them next.

    On the contrary, I think they try to lure 4chan into their embrace rather than go after them, much like Tumblr and Reddit.

    Remember; 4chan has porn, and AGP troons won't dare bite the hand that gives them cummies.

    True that, unfortunately. I've seen plenty of pro-tranny threads on /pol/ started by shills, believe it or not.

    The troons constantly raid that place. They do it even more than other, actual minorities do, believe it or not.

      That might slow down the whole online harassment thing a SMIDGE. Realistically though, there's an epic fuckton of basement dwellers doing this shit for kicks.

      Honestly, that's why this won't matter in the least. If KF goes down, it won't stop online harassment as much as it'll etch into law "online harassment is okay as long as you're on OUR SIDE". Do not forget the "Right Side Of History[tm]" has basement dwellers who love using online harassment as a weapon too, and they're emboldened to do it to anyone they don't like/who don't bow down to them...and they're GETTING TO WIN.

      People need to realise the precedent they're setting here. Creating an environment where "the right side" gets to determine acceptable speech or behaviour absolutely will be used against you once the sides switch. If you let if be known that public utility providers (because let's face it that's what ISPs effectively are) or social media sites are all cowards who'll bow under the pressure of popular opinion, you don't get to complain when popular opinion changes and you suddenly find yourself unable to say or do shit.

        All those words you typed out, I just want you to know i didn't read them. Good night.

        What's this guy's major malfunction? Half his posts are these diatribes that don't seem to go anywhere

        This is my guess

        Govenments want to pull the plug, and let them swarm from site to site just like the hate groups. Oh well, maybe they can host their mob on GAB or one of the "totally not affiliated with Stormfront or Neo-Nazi" sites can host them.

        Yeah, can't have those evil hatethinkers going around telling goyim that Whites don't deserve to be genocided, that's LITERALLY terrorism!

        Good thing good goy sites like Twitter and Reddit don't go around calling for violence, assisting in the commission of crimes, and leaking people's private information on a constant basis or anything like that.

        Oh fuck off Keffals. Go groom some more children.

        The thing is, it's not entirely on big tech. Because those companies are only as powerful as the people using their stuff allow them to be. Same as with politicians who don't properly do their jobs--and keep firmly in mind that those jobs affect everyone, not just the people who voted for them--after taking office.

        [–][deleted] 10 insightful - 1 fun10 insightful - 0 fun11 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

        Have you been following the stuff on email servers posted recently here? The tier 1 providers aren't letting any little guys in, the days of the common man growing a site into their ranks is over. We have to hold big tech accountable for upholding the rule and laws of the US, including protecting the rights of its citizens. They aren't simply private business anymore, they control what is now a vital service like electricity or water.

        Not to mention, there is now direct proof that social media regularly coordinates with government agencies to block wrongthink. During the freedom convoy in Canada, many videos and groups got deleted for unknown reasons. They aren't "just private companies" anymore when they collude with power structures. It's textbook fascism.

        The fascists wanted to put a stop to all of this.
