I hate the Internet and the people who own it

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.
These are people who deep down would have been overjoyed were Keffals harmed, and all their fantasies of 'imminent threats' could have been fulfilled. The clout it would have afforded them, the scope to censor and crack down, the emotional performances they could have rolled out on Twitter. There wouldn't have been a shred of sincerity or objectivity. Keffals would have been a device to advance a wider agenda. All the people who shit on Keffals now would have upheld him as the ultimate trans martyr and would be pushing for policy to imprison anybody who questions them. Instead, Keffals was never in any danger, and is just a shitty person who worn out his usefulness and has since been thrown under the bus.

They're scum, and it must move them to hysterical anger that we aren't actually breaking any laws, whilst they are routinely in the form of Ddos attacks.
Remember the Byuuicide Saga? We found evidence that Ginder is alive, and they got hopping mad over it. They wanted him to be dead so they could have a casus belli.
 
Yes, all of those too. Never mind that Parks Canada is currently shilling hard on 'Asian Heritage Month' (no points for guessing what they'll be doing in June), stuff like this Zooey Zephyr bullshit shows that it's infesting deep-red rural America as well.

I don't think you fully understand just what kind of inescapably deep shit the complacency of the 'free world' has sunk itself into. If I'm mad at the internet, it's a vast improvement from being blind-livid at the real world.

Zooey Zephyr isn't in deep-red rural America. Zooey Zephyr is in deep-blue college town, Missoula, and its the only reason the troon stood a chance. A bunch of college dorks who in 20 years will feel fucking embarrassed for that shit.

I don't think we had a smoking gun or anything, only the absence of him showing up in the State Department records.

But that's the point. We shouldn't need proof that he's alive. It's up to the troons to prove that he's dead, and besides a laughable cookie jar, they haven't delivered. People shouldn't accuse others of crimes they haven't committed without proof, and expect them to prove their innocence. That's guilty until proven innocent, but they do it anyway.
 
If you do decide to send a note, please keep it short and to the point. Don't mention the transgenders, don't mention cows, just say that the kiwifarms is a valuable site to you, and that you are glad that they changed their minds.

Do not send them your fucking spegifesto.
(I know I'm pissing in the wind making this request)

As to Byuu, there were no reported suicides in his area, but that is not the smoking gun (or lack therof) With the Byuu story, it's best to focus on the reverse extortion he attempted to do on null, and the prudent and well reasoned response.

Even if Byuu had killed himself, Kiwifarms would have had nothing to do with it. Null never held a gun to that freak's head.
 
Because we live in a society that treats hate speech and similar ideas as worse than or just as bad as murder and child rape. So, when a C-level executive comes a knocking with threats, you either comply or get ready for an absurd amount of headache to defend an internet forum that goes against every bit of current year correcthink.
If you don't ridicule people in your everyday life who mention "hate speech" like it's a real thing (lol Europe is fucking retarded), you're doing it wrong.
 
Now the real danger is the Greek authorities. I have no idea how this is supposed to work out. Does HARICA open an investigation with Greek police? is this just a throw away comment to give some weight to the it's not over but no real action will be taken and hope it blows over (personally hoping for this one)? Does an investigation even exist? Will they communicate with forces from other regions like the US which is where the site itself is hosted or does it purely go through Greek law?. What will the Greek police even do to verify anything?
Beware of Greeks bearing .gifs.

The whole “authorities will investigate” thing is interesting, because it suggests that the complainers have alleged a crime of some sort being done by the subscriber.

Maybe it actually is a smart thing to do to call their bluff, give the (anonymous) complaints to the local cops who will shrug and then HARICA has a green light to carry on with their business as usual.

Unless there have been something like death threats against specific staff members by agent provocateurs, in which case that should be treated seriously. Frankly whoever does shit like that gets what’s coming to them.
 
The RSS seems to have cleared up.
So just a glitch not an attack?
I think the tg.i-c-a.su RSS feed is some hobby project that doesn't appear to be designed for widespread use. Hence, any number of people trying to use it seems to cause it to, at best, run like dogshit, or at worst, crash and burn.

That being said, I got tired of trying to read XML, and I wrote a userscript that makes it look halfway decent. It's a horrible ugly hack, but it seems to work in both Tor Browser and Brave (although you'll have to ensure that Tampermonkey is allowed to run in private/Tor windows, if you use that to access the RSS).

And if the RSS feed isn't working, it serves up a JSON blob that's fairly short and sweet, so you'll see that instead.

          let html = e.textContent.replace(r, c => c.replaceAll('<', '&lt;').replaceAll('>', '&gt;'));
          let d = domParser.parseFromString(html, 'text/html'), fragment = new DocumentFragment;
          fragment.append(...d.querySelector('body').childNodes);
          e.innerHTML = xmlSerializer.serializeToString(fragment);
        } catch (e) {
          console.error(e);
        }
      });
    }

    return r; // return truthy if we did the thing
  }

  if (!prettify()) {
    // if the page was not ready yet, use a MutationObserver to detect when the head or rss node loads
    (new MutationObserver((m, o) => {
      if (prettify()) {

        o.disconnect();

A friendly reminder that this is all happening because of a filthy troon trying to hide his "consent accident". From CF kicking us out, ISPs blocking us and now .onion? The internet is quickly getting shattered over what? A fucking hunched-back troon that has no-dong?

It's like everyone forgot Gamergate. Remember when the entire gaming industry came to the defense of one chick that slept around for coverage and awards? The entire media told you this was an organized harassment campaign with death threats.

Now was there a harassment campaign? Or was it that the gaming industry not wanting to expose to everyone that pay for play is a thing? And considering how hard they came out against people talking about it, pay for play must be rife in the gaming industry.
 
Should we send them polite letters thanking them for their reversal, or would it be better off to not bother them in any way, even to thank them (even though I have problems with their statement, a light remains a light)?
I was considering this, but I'm afraid I might come off creepy and cause problems down the line.

If someone want's to check how it will look tomorrow I've setup a default nginx on an onion using a self signed cert. If you are using the Tor Browser you have to click on "Advanced..." and then "Accept the Risk and Continue"

It shouldn't do that on Tor Browser: http://rzuwtpc4wb3xdzrj3yeajsvm3fkq...nion/onionservices/onionservices-5/index.html

If it does on Brave then Brave isn't doing Tor properly.
Or you ran into a bug: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/41075
Interesting. Looks like the bug is back. Your SAN looks good in the cert. Maybe it is complaining that the CN isn't the domain name as well.
Would you mind trying that?
 
This could be bigger than Brickface. Someone on Telegram mentioned that this could be the work of Michael Janke.
could be in theory, but it's all baseless speculation. no way to tell whether it was janke, or LFJ, or keffals, or fuentes, or ralph, or vordrak, or any other of the dozens of butthurt lolcows who want the site dead.

remember that greece is EU and likely has implemented a bunch of EU style hate speech laws. depending on how they handle these things there, that might get them to drop support for the site.

Brave has a RSS reader built in. Not saying your blob is anything bad but there is no need to run rando mindcraft mods scripts someone posts on here.

It's called Brave News.
 
I don't think we had a smoking gun or anything, only the absence of him showing up in the State Department records.
I think this is as good a proof as anyone will get:
Did Byuu even ever claim to be trans? I thought it was just 'nonbinary'
He later took that back and admitted it was just for attention because he wasn't "fitting in" anywhere else.

Meanwhile invertego on github is still walking and talking exactly like byuu as if nothing ever happened, wrt working on his emulator projects, while very carefully trying not to use "I" when talking about stuff he did in the past. Remember this was a virtually dormant account ever since it was created that magically started up at full steam right after his "death" with all the same knowledge, code style and way of talking as byuu.
 
I just realized I actually don't know what is keeping us off the clearnet right now. Site originally went down due to DDOS and hardware issues if I am not mistaken and the certificate kerfuffle seemed like a rider that was primarily about TOR. This isn't like the whole ISP thing from awhile back to my knowledge, so can anyone enlighten me about the current reason why we're onion only for the time being?
