Regarding the apparent and imminent repeal of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act and the future of this website.

[Meat Target]

the only thing good coming from all this is thinking about all the retarded spastics from A&H getting assblasted and very mad once their echochamber is down and they can't be edgy and online anymore

I'm an A&H-er, and my blood pressure will be thankful that I no longer have a daily Two Minutes Hate. I'm sick of always being MATI, good riddance.

 

[⠠⠠⠅⠑⠋⠋⠁⠇⠎ ⠠⠠⠊⠎ ⠠⠠⠁ ⠠⠠⠋⠁⠛]

How will A&H live without a thread to suck off (insert politician here)'s cock anymore?

Lol they'll just go back to Breitbart comments. Even I can retain a Disqus account unbanned for a couple days on there

 

[No. 7 cat]

If Joe Biden is happy to back this, repealing Sect. 230 will not do what Trump thinks it will do. It will only facilitate persecution of wrongthinkers. Google etc. are utterly relaxed about that. If they weren't, there would be political opposition.

Dude, self control, what the fuck.

Dude, self control, what the fuck.

I came here because I still have to work, even during lockdowns, (have always been a phoneposter, so it's safe), and I have been extremely bored most days.

I don't think having CP sitting in the open is something worth missing.

It's less the CP and more the freedom of a place where truly anything goes. You could say whatever you felt without walking on eggshells, OC was left and right, memes were cute and happy like O RLY owl or LUL WUT pear instead of just passive aggressive bait using wojaks and pepes to simulate the person you're mocking, it was just a very different time.

 

[ScatmansWorld]

You don't get how it applies?

Someone you don't like is censored: you sleep

You suddenly face the prospect of censorship after laughing at the people fighting against it and cheering their censoring: you real woke.

What am I supposed to be coping with? The 230 repeal that isn't happening?

Holy fucking shit on a shingle I don't know if you're just baiting or what but I've absolutely had it with you Trumptards yelling for big daddy government to stomp all over Twitter just because you're not allowed to say "nigger" on their platform.

Do I think Twitter's code of conduct and enforcement of rules is "fair"? Fuck no, you can smell their bias from a mile away, which is why I stay the hell away from that place. In my experience though, whenever the alt-right screeches about the first amendment and freedom of speech, they seem to also conveniently leave out another fundamental right recognized by U.S courts called Freedom of Association.

Websites like Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, etc. have no legal obligation to be politically neutral. There is no government enforced alt-right quota Twitter needs to meet. There is no quota for any political leaning on any website, and any attempt to enforce complete political neutrality by law would be pretty much impossible because you could claim ANYTHING is a political leaning. Imagine some wacko going on your platform and yelling about how much they love murdering babies and posting pictures of dead babies, but if you tried to ban them they'll say they're "pro baby murder" and that you'd break the law if you banned them.

If you want something to be mad at, be mad at the fucking U.S Patriot Act for forcing banks to be liable for "terrorist acts" so all someone has to do to shut down a more fairly run alternative is yell and scream about how they're all literal nazis organizing the next Shoah as we speak.

ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS REPEAL THE PATRIOT ACT

REPEAL THE PATRIOT ACT AND FORCE BANKS AND PAYMENT NETWORKS TO BE IMPARTIAL

ALL HE HAD TO FUCKING DO WAS THAT AND HIS PRESIDENCY WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BEST IN THE LAST 100 YEARS

 

[Bowl of Ramen]

I wish we had a backup plan. This place has kept me sane, believe it or not. KF has far more intelligent, thoughtful people on it than any other forum on the Internet. Oh, and ‘tism. Don’t forget the ‘tism. I’m truly depressed.

 

[Windex]

I’m surprised you wouldn’t consider accepting offers on the site.

What about the name itself - you’d not let someone be your KiwiFarms franchisee?

Can’t see a downside, as they’d acquire all the liability. They’d kick up beaucoup bucks for the privilege of utilizing prior thread data, and the forum name you’d spent considerable time/money towards building.

 

[Iron Hamster]

I will say this is the one time when Orange Man is actually bad.

 

[Overly Serious]

This is shameful cross-posting but if the site does fall, what are they going to do - ban me from a dead drive? Anyway, I think this is a good idea so...

If this is truly the end then I look forward to being part of the Great Kiwi Migration. It will be a long diaspora as we wander the Internet in search of a new home. And it will be vital that we, like the Israelites who were allegedly but probably never happened exiled from Egypt for causing plagues, find ways to stay together.

To that end, I'm posting a GPG fingerprint and public key so that if and when I surface in whatever other places we try to find a home, people can know it's me. I'm going to start a thread on this and I recommend other people do the same. Install GPG and make a key pair and post the public key or fingerprint here. Or use OpenSSL or whatever form of public-private key works for you. But post it now before the site goes down and before any final archive is made.

I find the idea of a vast wave of Kiwis drifting across other sites in search of our promised land where we can at last settle (probably some Russian server) kind of romantic, you know?

Anyway, GPG fingerprint for me:
9485 4202 97D1 EBEB 853A
0F4C B5C0 F8F5 B715 7424

I'd also like to thank Null for providing a home for all of us screwballs for so long. The True KiwiFarms are the friends we called faggots along the way.

The internet used to be a place where everyone acted like petty schoolchildren. Now, everyone acts like petty schoolchildren armed with sharp knives.

suggestion: delete A&H a few hours before you delete everything else, so we can have a good laugh at the politispergs sperging out.

Sounds good. Deleting everything except Beauty Parlor and Health and Fitness before taking it all down would cap it off nicely.

 

[Toolbox]

Haven't been long, but I'll be here for the fall. Have had a fun time. Here's hoping that this does not come to pass.

The Patriot Act actually expired earlier this year, but otherwise you're right.

Heh, stuffed turkey? It's been a week. Make some soup or feed it to the dogs.

It's possible to simultaneously believe that Jack Dorsey should be raped to death by horses because you can't tell trannies to kill themselves on there, and that actual community websites shouldn't be subjected to the attacks that repealing Section 230 would bring. Odd that MAGAtards seem to be incapable of this, though

 

[DZoomer]

Fuck, man. I really thought I'd get to be on the first page of the thread communicating DSP's death for being a fat faggot at the young age of 45.

Not only will I not get to witness that, but I'll also have to see DSP and movieblob being smug celebrating the death of KF. Fuck 2020.

Thank you for the effort maintaining this website, Null. It's great.

 

[RJ MacReady]

This is the only forum I've enjoyed participating in for something like a decade. If it goes, nothing will replace it for me and I'll miss it every day. If the worst comes to pass all I can do is express my admiration that it managed to swim against the current for so long in an era of the internet which no longer welcomes it.
