This is not true. The Internet Archive was founded by Brewster Kahle. Taylor Lorenz does have an uncle who worked for the Internet Archive at one time, but he was apparently long gone by the time the Keffals fuckery started.
I hate the Internet and the people who own it

The Supreme Court dismissed lawsuits against Google and Twitter today.
These were two lawsuits with similar content alleging that Google and Twitter were liable for aiding and abetting terrorism due to posts from users.
The cases were both unanimously dismissed. I feel it sets a useful precedent for maintaining a free internet that hosting content does not rise to the level of aiding and abetting.
Archive of a Washington Post article summing this up.

Good. I more or less expected this but unanimity is even nicer.

So, can someone slow down and explain where Null is with putting us back on the clearnet? He's got his first server in; is he just waiting on the second one, or is there something else going on?

The server outage is unrelated to the clearnet issue. One of KF's service providers shut down. Jersh is exploring alternatives.

I kind of want a news site skin for the site, now. Like previous April 1st redesigns. I'm imagining a KFN: Kiwi Farms News header, a lot of chrome because it would be a retro design to account for the lack of autoplaying videos and other shit from current year news sites. Maybe every thread has a BREAKING! added to it, the KF icon gets a little stylised microphone, etc.
The site already features high-quality investigative journalism supporting all the shitposts, but it's insulting to compare the posters who do such good work to a current day journalist. Any rebranding would be as shallow as a wordfilter. The only thing that makes me pause is that even a shallow change can work on some people.
In my mind, it's a purely cosmetic alteration - instead of calling ourselves shitposters or Farmers we refer to ourselves journalists. It's an in-joke, it's insulting to real journalists, people can puff themselves up trying to explain how the research and posting of an OP as a 'citizen journalist' is any different than the work of someone like Taylor Lorenz, or not at the same level of 'citizen journalism' as practiced at BLM riots.
That's about as much of a rebrand I could imagine without changing anything real about the site - a mocking reframing of how people post here without actually changing anything. We're not shitposters, we're 'misinformation reporters'. We call people faggots and troons? We're just using the language of the youth, reclaiming slurs - and troon was a self-designated term from Something Awful trans women anyway.
I'm not saying it should happen (except for a chrome colour scheme), and it's basically the 'what is a woman?' gambit but applied to journalism instead. I don't think it would be anything like an effective defence instead of just a sitewide shitpost. I guess I just think there's idiots enough on the internet that a few who don't know about the Farms already would fall for it, which could be funny.

I'm sure Null appreciates the backseat ooperating, guy that's been here less than two months. Thank God you chimed in.

Don't take it personal, people here love a pile-on and AnOminous doesn't actually read any posts before he replies to them. Everyone disagrees about everything but we're still all on the same side.

iI'll give you one better, what the hell is harica?
inb4 google it.
no, because I'm too lazy for that shit atm.
you want to know why kiwifarms is now an onion site?? it's because it never change. look around you dude, now this site is slow to the max. it's already dogshit to browse this site on desktop and it's more terrible to browse this site on mobile phones.
I swear to god, if 4chan managed to maintain its cloudflare ddos protection despite being just as bad as kiwifarms then why kiwifarms cannot do the same thing as 4chan did? oh right, because this site, null, and the majority of KF's userbase refuse to change. that's why kiwifarms is now an onion site.

Before this bullshit started I didn't even know TOR had a mobile browser. Now I am sneeding on Le Heckin Dark Web because of some hatchet faced ass hole who hates that people know the phrase "consent accident".

The last few years have taken their toll on Dear Feeder, hence the dark and sinister turn his parties have taken. I remember when these shindigs used to be more like this.

Any problems with Njalla? It's the closest thing to a barebones domain & VPS provider as I have been able to find.

I think the issue is that they claim full ownership of your domain name if they host it. Not completely sure though.

Yeah, but that's not the issue. It's that they could unilaterally seize the name, unlike other registrars where Null would retain ownership of it. Just because a service is good for piracy doesn't mean it's good for clowning on trannies.
