Rogue individuals can come to any website and post death threats. How the moderation team reacts historically or in the present has no bearing on that. The reason why it hasnt happened to HN is simply because no one started a targeted campaign to shut it down yet.
- throwawayKiwi9 4y agoYou keep presenting this as fact when it really isn't. Nation states, Brands, businesses, and influencers would have a field day with this. What other sources do you have for this?

Logically we can deduce that it's probably going to happen more now. And yes, nation states, brands, and businesses are going to have a field day with this, absolutely.
- throwawayKiwi9 4y agoCloudflare is not the internet, nor are they the law. It would take seconds to change the kiwifarms DNS but apparently the admins don't care about their userbase being able to communicate all that much. Glad to see service providers have freedoms too. Kiwifarms still has plenty of options.
- unknownaccount 4y agoIt wasnt just Cloudflare. There were other providers which deplatformed them recently too. (DdosGuard to name one). It also wasnt just hosting, but their domains are being cancelled by registrars. (ISNIC, 2 days ago). This coordinated deplatforming movement all seems to stem from CloudFlare's incorrect labeling of Kiwifarms as a dangerous website. You may find that if Cloudflare puts out an unsubstantiated statement against you, you will have difficulty finding hosting at alternate providers.
