Dreamhost is terminating my account.

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
??? what am I going to sue Dreamhost for? I don't give a fuck about Byuu and even if I did sue his estate that doesn't make companies grow a backbone.
No, sue the verified checkmarks who are making the assertions. Dreamhost can do what it wants. Someone interfering in your business agreements based on a lie deliberately constructed to harm your business is different. Not a lawyer, just sayin' it seems like you have a list of names who have admitted publicly to pushing this narrative which I highly doubt would stand up to legal scrutiny.

I think you're missing the point of this thread and his statement entirely.
 
Who hosts lolcow.farm?

Appears NameCheap is their domain registrar.


Should be noted that they get much less heat than KF though, that needs to be taken into account.

Wouldn't that be incredibly expensive, stressful, and not solve the problem that the website is being taken attacked? You can't sue every troon on the internet.
 
Given the emergent difficulties, and the likelihood of a repeat incident with the next potential domain host, I would advise against a simple switch-over to a Western (US, UK, Canada etc.) host, given this would provide validation to those who ail you and your community.

Consider a domain host from somewhere in Europe that is censorship-resistant, like the Czech Republic--


Best to keep a private shortlist of options once you've spent the time researching and rank order these based on price.
Should one drop you, work your way down the list. You may also wish to maximize domain anonymity on things like WhoIS (which you're probably already doing). The perpetrators will forever be left catching up with your decisions this way, rather than vice versa (which a switch to another Western host guarantees).

I wouldn't think Euro hosts are much more expensive than what you have right now, but that's for you to find out.

Hard to say. I won't shit up the thread further but my point is that if this shit continues with no consequences then the site's probably gone for good. You don't need to sue every single person, I think a few of the more prominent verified accounts being dragged into court, not being able to prove that byuu is even dead or that it had anything to do with the farms, and then slapped with a criminal record would shut that shit up pretty quickly.

Obviously it's easy for me to say that and I'm not the one whose ass would be on the line, but if it were my business I'd at least be considering it. This is a ridiculous smear op and seems easily disprovable.

We might as well sued Twitter for allowing the idiots to lie about Null. What if some guy buys a knife to kill Null? At worse they murder him he'll become an hero for the internet and free speech even though this is a lolcow website. Lies has proven to get people killed even if Null is in Europe he has to be careful of insane people who can buy a knife and stab people in the back Europe loves them knifes.
 
Jersh, we both know you aren't going to buy land and raise children on it. Despite claims that you believe the mission here is Lolcows, you have an implicit understanding that this is the last bastion of internet libertarianism. You care too much. You're too autistic.

Worst comes to worst, I think you'll try to raise the $75k to start a registrar. People have given much more money to way stupider things, like Black Lives Matter. Maybe Chris' character drawing business will take off and you and him can be business partners on it.
 
I’m curious why not Epik. I have my domains there. If they’re doing shady shit I’d like to know so I can stop giving them my shekels.
Also curious about this. Godaddy is pozzed as fuck and Gandi has an arbitrary and vague "ethics" clause in their ToS, so I understand why those are out, but I was under the impression that Epik was one of the better registrars around when it comes to free speech.
