Just because Twitter retards are celebrating, it doesn't mean the site was automatically good. It's a fucking cesspool filled with faggots who gossip and stalk people all the day.

It's a major blow for fucking losers, not for online non-mainstream right lol

Well they are vastly calling KiwiFarms a RW site since it finally got b@ for being anti-transgender and not just for any other antics they have been in over the years. The site's head says the removal might be trouble for others as well in an interview.

CloudFlare was also the same ones who did away with 8ch and the Stormer quite quickly.

The issue is that, to my knowledge, today it is not possible to run a website without CloudFlare. Perhaps things have changed now, but CloudFlare basically used to have a monopoly on anti-DDOS services. If they are now in the habit of just kicking any site that they don't like off the web, that does not bode well for what's left of civil liberty.

Sure is, KiwiFarms switched to DDoS-Guard now. It's what Russia Today has been using as well.

I haven't heard of that one before. Maybe I should read up more on the tech situation.

They held their ground for quite a while, but I'm not sure what triggered the ban on KF to take effect since there hadn't been too much with the situation going on right before hand. I guess they are a little lenient than some other platforms, and they only dropped DS/8ch that quick because those were part of stories everyone in politics was focusing on, whereas Kiwi is more niche.
