luckily we're already on the website that's been most hardened to withstand the very sort of attacks they'd use to take it down, from simply ddosing to writing angry emails demanding a tier 1 stop facilitating traffic. dear feeder is unironically the best person to ask about it all
We structure management in a way that no one can become a despot. Of course there are issues with how the servers are hosted and paid for that gives someone more power.
If Null would be willing to lend SneedFlare(I think that's what the DDoS protection is called) that would definitely help against attempts to take the website down, but the biggest problem is making sure nobody infiltrates it from within. The culture itself has to be insular enough that any bad elements are taken care of immediately and pro-troon behavior is not liked by the community. Take a site like this for example, there is a general "no pozloading my neghole" rule which eliminates most problems with weens and attention whores and what have you(legal problems too), and if someone is still retarded after that, the users generally take out the trash themselves. I'm thinking something like that so that the troons can't infiltrate the community and try to take it over, little by little, over time.
He probably doesn't notice the smell over the stench of rot and decay.
kiwiflare! come on you see it how many times a day?
We'll do blood tests for HRT like we're in The Thing
It's much easier to simply have manual vetting for any information before it is made public and added into an article. First, it weeds out trolls, spammers or illegal material. Second, the site isn't active enough that there is ever going to be an active clog in the pipeline, unless there is a big happening or article being written. Third, to combat the former, "trusted" users can forgo the process altogether, once they've proven to be both reliable and not a bad actor. Fourth, if need be you can ask for proof or otherwise vet the information provided, to avoid false info or hoaxes(might be used to discredit the website so that TCRF troons can claim they have the monopoly on well researched articles).
...and then put torrents up.
Yes, that is a big deterrent and I am against that. Still, manual vetting to check the information is the least you can do, otherwise it will be chaos. Once the person has made an account and has been vetted(similar to getting a checkmark here), the manual vetting process would go away for that user, if they're planning to be a regular.
This logic is how more and more fun things fall to troons.
TCRF with Blackjack and Hookers, but I'm a retard newnigger that's never dealt with looking through game internals before so if anyone's more experienced in that kind of field, be sure to post about it thx 
. Better documentation website (That you absolutely should archive locally if you can):
Hosting and setting up is not that hard if you know what you're doing (for example, I do). Most of the complexities would be around avoiding PL or facing opposition from powerful entities like payment processors, Cloudflare, etc. If those aren't anticipated to be a problem then getting a domain name, server and setting up a DB and webserver (e.g. Nginx) isn't a big ask. Just needs someone willing to put their name to it and make some payments on their card.
KiwiFarms works because we have a benevolent dictator here. It's not a perfect model but it works. Keep the admin list small and gatekeep who joins, that'll work for a good long time. There's always going to be some drama eventually but you can mitigate it by making sure there are publicly available backups of the data.
You just need to be clear about the position but not too in your face. Like don't have it on the front page distracting from the actual purpose of the site, but have it on your background page or sign-up policies: E.g. "This site does not allow politics to divert from its mission. Nobody cares if you're gay/straight/purple frog supremacist. But bringing your cultural war into the site is a no-no.
That would limit things in many ways. Github isn't meant to be a webhost and git isn't really meant for binary files like images. I would say that if you're anticipating state or state-condoned opposition that way Kiwi Farms faces, then Github would take you down as violating their ToS fairly quickly. And if you're not anticipating that sort of attacks, then it's not necessary to do anything other than traditional hosting. And I don't think there's a reason it should be targeted in this way, right? You guys aren't talking about creating some bastion of anti-troon action or starting a revolution, right? You just want to be able to re-focus on the actual goal of TCRF without the troon-entryism trying to repurpose it as an LGBT canvassing site, no? That's fine. There's nothing wrong with saying: "the politicisation of TCRF interfered with its mission so we're doing our own without that."
I can't imagine video really being all that necessary tbf. If it's showcasing like a debug menu in action then that can easily just be a .gif. If there must be sound like in a interview, then that could easily be rehosted by linking to a re-upped vid on youtube (that is also up on preservetube), or mirrored on catbox if it's small enough. Archive.org is like a last ditch if the first two aren't available, but providing multiple mirrors to a video is always good etiquette for this.
In that case, I would expect costs to be low. I don't know what sort of traffic the site gets but it can't be that much. And MediaWiki itself just requires a standard LAMP stack (Linux + Apache + MySQL + PHP).
