The owner of Kiwifarms, a site with a right-wing userbase dedicated to harassment, begs its users to "lighten the fuck up". He claims that he is crippled by legal costs and has had to move hosts over 100 times. Making money is difficult as Visa, MasterCard, and Paypal won't process payments. Deplatforming and "canceling" work.

I'd rather those cryptofascist shit-stains had more direct consequences I'm still pleased by this.

    This is particularly funny to me bc they have a page about content removal that is basically “freeze peach mf neener neener neener just bc it hurts your fee fees doesn’t mean we can’t goad people into suicide 🖕”

    Please bankrupt yourself for your fascist loser user base

    Nobody's forcing you to host and manage the site. Just take it down if it's that much of a problem for you.

      Seriously, at that point you're best off just pulling the plug completely. Embrace the link rot and delete everything related to the site in one sudden fell swoop. Just let it disappear and die.

    I hope they have to sell the site to a Russian "entrepreneur" who then phishes all the members for credit card info, accidentally doxxing all of them when he tries to sell it over like pastebin.

    I hope Serbian SWAT kicks down his door because financially and materially his activities look a lot like running one of those darknet bazars

      That still pisses me off. That guy had a golden opportunity to force new elections in the House of Representatives after Trump took office. But what did he do? 50 shots, 5 hits, zero kills. Loser.

      I really hope no one here would be that irresponsible. Propaganda of the Deed is at its best when organizing local mutual aid groups, not when doing adventurist shit. Historically these things just do not work. They do not spur the working class to action. They do not inspire revolution. Quite the opposite

      Okay but real talk... what was up with that congressional baseball game? I know it's old news now but like, y'all need to get out to the range and improve your aim, that was pitiful.

    a site with a right-wing userbase

    Those pathologically lying cryptofascist cowards can't even own up to being right-wing. They're still claiming that "nonpolitical/for the lulz" shit even as basically no one believes it anymore.

    • HumanBehaviorByBjork [any, undecided]

      from their perspective it is. they don't have any specific political ambitions, they don't understand that reveling in the suffering of others is essentially right wing.

        I'll believe it when they get Steven Crowder or Ben Shapiro into the kind of situation they put their "lolcows" into for the crime of being ND or queer.

        they don’t have any specific political ambitions

        They want everyone they put in the out-group of their "normalcy" delusions to suffer and die. That's a political ambition.

        They're just as selective as those political leaks sites that swear up and down they have literally nothing on :trump-anguish:

    KF is a place that I don't care for to be re-educated. A vile section of humanity that needs to be cordoned off forever or just thrown to the dogs...or something else I'll leave up to the imagination

    Lol get fucked Null

    In 2014-2018 he was super into getting chummy with literal Nazi scum like weev and Dunkula, saying that he wanted to cultivate a specific userbase and kept reaching out to nazi spaces that would get deplatformed to host their discussions.

    Well looks like you got the userbase you always wanted you dumbfuck.

    Wreckers work. Kiwifarms has been the subject of relentless social media attacks for years now. Workers post the most repugnant shit and the chuds don't delete it because of muh freeze peach. A post like this just means it's close to being pushed off the internet for good soon, and the workers need to have their number doubled.
