Do you think it’s healthy for free speech for the vast majority of the web’s users to be siloed on just a few sites with top-down control? With shadowbanning, blacklisted topics, quarantined boards, and all this other draconian net nanny bullshit?

Dude you're literally arguing with a guy who supports Iranian dictatorships and wants to see America burn. He's absolutely 100% for censorship without the smallest reservations, because that way the world can't know how badly his country is run.

Long time lurker, made an account specifically to come here and laugh at all the faggots that are sad about this. Nothing is gonna change, plus there's still plenty of places you can say nigger without fear of repercussion even if there is a repeal (including IRL you fucking autistic nerds, maybe try it sometime instead of cowering behind a screen all day mewling with the other retards)

Lot of good times here tho, big thanks to Null for all of the trials and tribulations he endured to keep this going

Weird thing is almost all the public reaction I've seen to this in my sphere is entirely in favor of keeping 230 as is. I really do hope Josh is wrong and waits it out to see. This is genuinely the only place I've felt free to be myself and share my experiences. I don't know where else on the internet I'd go if KF shut down.

Yeah Nulls put a lot into keeping this site running, kind of impressive to be willing to deal with a bunch of lawsuits regularly over peoples right to say the nigger word and dox people for fun

Styx's take on this whole 230 thing.

Honestly LeftyKiwi is a lot more fun now because the Right's going full tard.

Also to that guy you quoted. he does know far Left content is getting censored too right?

When Reddit did the great purge a lot of commie subs got hit too and there was an article in A&N where a socialist site was complaining about Big Tech giving them the Alex Jones treatment.

Corporations aren't "woke" money's the only ideology they believe in and extremism is bad for business.

You're an easy going sort it seems, just wanting to hang out with whoever is having a good time. Just because they're temporarily all jerried up on the smell of Bidens farts and Kamalas feet, it's more fun to hang out with them. The media won't let them down any time soon, either. Despite the horrors going on behind the scenes, they won't make a sound the left doesn't want to hear. The right will be getting a lot more serious and a lot less "fun", but you can just keep treating life like a game, pretending nothing is at stake. Why would there be? We're headed for a utopia after all, and according to my high school education, nothing has happened since World War 2.

I'll be optimistic and expect Trump to be nothing more than an all bark, no bite bitch yet again.

It would be funny in a cosmic sort of way if both Boogie and Jim outlived the site, though.

I cant see the big tech giants being behind this either. Sure, they have the money to survive lawsuits now, but in a future where, say, facebook can sue google for bad search results and vice versa, that big money means nothing. In the event 230 is repealed, the resulting collapse of user engagement and mass censorship will result in both user data and internet ad revenue will plummet. As ban happy as these companies are they know, deep down, that they will lose money without the government's immunity. After all it isn't just mountain jews and gay mukbangers that know how to file lawsuits to waste the time of websites and pull gayops.

Real talk, aside from hobby bullshit I honestly don’t use any other site but this place.
Nowhere else is, ironically, as accepting of people who aren’t just cookie cutter copies of each other. 4chan is too normie to be interesting, Reddit is Facebook for slightly younger people, I don’t have friends so Discord is out, it’s bleak out there. This is one of the only fun places to hang out online, and I really hope this 230 nonsense doesn’t go through. Maybe it’s selfish, but I hope we can last just a bit longer here.

Kiwifarms is really the only site I am active on anymore. I started lurking here in 2014? 2015? and abandoned all social media other then KF in 2017. I've watched hobbyist forums and tech forums either implode of wither to dust. Discord is a clusterfuck, and the few friends IRL I have that use PCs are hardly on anymore. Gaming forums have become faggot magnets and the hobby itself has rotted to its core

If KF were to go offline I'd probably disconnect from the internet altogether outside of bill paying. I already invested in a NAS to backup my favorite video internet content, and have local backups of different archives of webpages I particularly enjoy reading. I've been working on backing up games, and I'd absolutely download the KF torrent and spend some time reading it.

Well.... Any other good backup sites to migrate to? Or are we completely fucked?

If 230 is repealed, the same thing that ass-fucks kiwifarms will rape any nigger that tries to set up a refuge.

Everything I used to browse back in the day is dead. It's like walking through the ash covered streets of a nuked Hiroshima, watching a totally alien city overtake it.

Let's just hope if there's a reform, it will only affect those sites that are mass media and social. Something more close knit *cough* shouldn't be affected.
