Trump winning could have been worse for 230, if anything. Now it seems possible that it will all get bogged down in a divided government.

Maybe, tbh at this point I just assume the worst case scenario is the trend for anything political and plan from there.

You're definately right that he would have kept pushing for it immediately after he won.

What you don't seem to understand is that if the uniquely libertarian spirit of a place like this dies, then you have nothing of value. It turns into Reddit, Youtube, a watered down shithole like the thousands of other watered down shitholes that exist on the internet. Nothing of value, and certainly not a place where true diversity of thought can be expressed freely.

People like you who don't understand the concept of liberty of thought are what has brought forth the idea that repealing ss 230 is a good idea in the first place. And because you are willing to compromise, the people who would see true liberty of thought destroyed would win.

If you would want to compromise, then why not go to reddit?

First of all, saying that because I disagree with Dear Leader I must support the entirety of your enemy's beliefs is exactly the sort of argument that a Reddit SJW would make, so careful with the fedoralord libertarianism there, frienderino.

Second of all, acting like there is literally no space between Reddit and KiwiFarms is obviously false. If his vision of the future is correct and no site like KiwiFarms could exist post-230, then Null can run a site that is some percentage of his perfect website, or he can run nothing at all. Nothing could accelerate the collapse of free expression on the internet more than every site right of Reddit shutting itself down out of fear and not even trying to fight. Null knows lawyers, programmers, "influencers", etc. - there absolutely is some way that websites will be able to survive the future and he knows people who could help him do so. Worst-case scenario might be that the site has to go down for a while as Null figures out how to legally cover his ass and reopen with some restrictions.

You act like me saying that compromise is an option is worse than me advocating for the total destruction of the freedoms you are trying to protect. Null is not fighting for freedom by destroying the site - he's actively shifting the landscape towards the Reddits of the world.

Have fun talking to nobody, alone in your room, because the absolute purity of your beliefs couldn't be reconciled with a hostile social environment for a little while. That sounds so much better than being able to express yourself with a somewhat limited vocabulary on a website that otherwise still provided diversity of thought. And I am sure Null will be so much happier in 10 years as he works in his cubicle making someone else rich and knowing that there are gossip sites out there who ate KiwiFarms' corpse and built a fortune out of a market he abandoned.

Again, he should fight for his sake, not for your sake or my sake or the sake of freeze peach - but him choosing not to fight hurts all of the above and helps nobody.

This won't hurt Twitter and Facebook you dumbfuck.

As has been explained to retards like you multiple times Big Tech are the only ones with the money and resources to survive the internet losing section 230.

Twitter and Facebook will just get more corporate and become as sanitized as 80s daytime television like youtube's in the process of doing.

It'll be the little guys and free speech advocates that get fucked by this.

But Daddy Trump says it's good so YES KING SLAY! WE'RE WINNING BOYS!

Now they have a legal mandate to remove everything even remotely defamatory to even the most obscure tranny retard. If you thought you had to walk on eggshells before hold on to your butts because you saying the word nigger could get a multi billion dollar company sued and they aint havin that shit.

Hey sorry for double posting but I just realize that:

DSP might outlast Kiwifarms...(bad nuff he outlasted Mister Metokur, but he could outlast Null and Donald Trump himself...Actually he might even outlast the American Republic, if Harris flips Biden off a cliff, and even outlast the Republican Party.)

This is why I'm convinced many people don't actually understand what this means. They think this will make Twitter "play fair" and allow people back? Nigga, this just means even the troons are gonna end up kicked off, there's gonna literally be no place to go. The last refuge for internet weirdos was forums, now I guess it's, what, IRC? Telegram chats? Some TOR site nobody's gonna take the time to figure out?

In the end, DSP will be the only thing that remains...

Any rational person capable of basic cost-benefit analysis isn't going to dedicate their life to you being able to call a dog rapist a nigger online. Kiwi Farms makes sense if it costs you nothing more than a few server rack bills and some weird ISP licenses. Does it make sense if it costs you enough time and labor to pursue any dream you want? What are the opportunity costs of that?
