Cloudflare has blocked Kiwi farms.

Guess they'll have to go back to using a Russian internet provider.


from wiki: The targets of Kiwi Farms threads are often subject to organized group trolling, harassment, and stalking, including real-life harassment by users.[2][3] Tactics include publishing their victims' personal information ("doxing&quot , trying to get them fired from their jobs, reporting crimes at their addresses in an attempt to have police dispatched to their homes ("swatting&quot , and harassing their family members and friends. Some of Kiwi Farms' harassment campaigns have continued for months or years, and some aim to drive the targets to suicide.[20] The website originated to harass an autistic and transgender webcomic artist, but now hosts threads dedicated to harassing many individuals—particularly minorities, women, LGBT people, neurodivergent people, and people considered by Kiwi Farms users to be mentally ill or sexually deviant.

Ahhh, remember the good ol' days, when that very stable genius Sarah Palin was warning us about Russia, along with saying she could see them from her own back yard? Good times...

Now, of course, MAGA loves Mother Russia, just like their "Daddy" Drumpf does.

Also, according to at least one comment from this article: The breaking point for Gutless Cloudflare was when Kiwi Farms were trying to figure out which restaurant Keffals was planning to eat it and plant bombs there. Yeah. Bombs.

So I guess bombing is too far, but doxxing and stalking and planning to kill one trans woman is okay, Cloudflare? Well, glad we now know where your line is.

Meanwhile, this is how our "American patriots" act. Stalking, doxxing, death threats and plots involving bombs. Gee, remember when everyone was so angry about Muslims and bomb threats and blowing up places? More good times... Because now, according to UltraMAGA, doing so is just fine...

President Biden's speech was long overdue. I hope everyone's listening. And by that, I mean LibsOfTikTok need to be next. And I don't mean just throw them off social media. I mean it's time for these people to wind up behind bars like the terrorists they are.
