This is actually the most important thing here. (It's also why Keffals and others have no case against Null absent Section 230.) We all recognize the "damages" going on but Null hasn't suffered any damages he could remotely claim that would outweigh the costs of the lawsuit. Suing people with no money is stupid, suing people with infinitely more money in hopes of getting them on defamation in the United States is stupid.It's debatable if there's any loss of reputation leading to damages either.
The only lawsuit I think any competent lawyer would actually potentially entertain rather than advise against is against Cloudflare. Lying about Kiwi Farms and posting that message to block the website was an extra step that the journalists didn't do. Again the damages would be too small to justify a case for Null to pursue, but if we actually did have a billionaire backer like a bunch of these idiots on Twitter claim it would be worth funding just to get Cloudflare to admit what they did. (I think they would settle for this, not actually fight it.)
