Hope everyone back in the states has a happy Thanksgiving today.
In an a time where the average person now has an attention span of less than 1 second when waiting for a website to load (according to Google), I am incredibly grateful that more than half of the Kiwi Farms's audience has followed the site through multiple domains, two separate weeks of continuous downtime, and being completely submerged to Tor for months at a time. Many of you waited a full year, when most websites can't ask for even a single second.
I'm also very thankful for the people who have provide an immense amount of material support and professional assistance. We have good people in our corner who are attorneys, network architects, datacenter operators, and more. There were several times where we would have been down and out without these people stepping in and sticking their neck out for us.
And finally, I'm thankful for seeing bad things happen to bad people. For instance, I have received word just today that Cloudflare has gone from removing approximately zero websites a year over copyright complaints, to having removed almost 1000 just in 2022
after the Kiwi Farms was deplatformed by them. Matthew Prince, having showed his ass, is now forced to eat the shit of every property rights organization in existence. The thousands of websites being forced off Cloudflare will undoubtedly still exist and begin to support small alternatives to his company, finally chipping away at its global dominance in security.

There's a lot to be thankful for this year and I have a good feeling about the next.
