> the driving-people-to-suicide thing is a lie. Here's a former FBI Asst. Dir. asserting that they do [0] (archive link in case it's removed [1]). I'll grant you that the government can and has lied, but all of this seems a lot like one side full of tremendously shitty people saying they're not guilty, and the other side saying the opposite. In the absence of definitive proof, I'll go with character.

He's just repeating what he read on wikipedia. I really doubt he looked closely into the matter.

  Why are you defending KF so hard? Even in the thread on the Cloudflare issue itself I saw the N-word, transphobic and antisemitic slurs, and calls to doxx the CEO... and that was just the first page.

    because literally none of that justifies a ddos attack or censorship. hurting people's feelings is not a crime. I defend kiwifarms because it's funny and it's one of the last bastions of free speech on the internet.

      Still doesn't explain why. You're not defending free speech in general, you're actively defending KF itself. Also, cute edit. Would make a perfect reply to yourself. Oh, another edit. Well, ok then. You think it's "funny" with racism, antisemitism, transphobia and doxxing/harassing people. Case closed.

        yeah. it is funny. I defend it on the merits: Kiwifarms is a funny site and it deserves to exist. you're just pointing and sputtering, as if I'm saying something obviously preposterous, but I'm not. the idea that a website ought to be completely erased from the internet just because people on it say mean things is a very new idea, and one that I haven't been convinced by. if you don't like it, just don't visit.

    I'm not the poster, but perhaps you've seen https://xkcd.com/386/ https://xkcd.com/386/ -- that's really the only explanation you need for this sort of thing.
