What needs to be understood about Keffals bullying Kiwifarms is that if he as 1 dude can just destroy and even memory hole a massive community just because he got his feelings hurt, imagine what he can do to everyone else.

So self host your websites rather than relying on some shady 3rd party like Cuckflare or DDoS-FART, consider switching from the Wayback Machine to Archive.ph or Hozon Site (or host your own archiver, as Hozon Site is FOSS), get off centralized soycial media and host your own Fedi instances, get off centralized chat soyvices hand host your own XMPP server, get off centralized email soyvices (GayMail, ProtonFail, Outlook etc) and host your own mail server, get off proprietary operating soystems and use Linux or BSD instead, get off fiat currencies and use Monero instead, get off the clearnet and use Tor and I2P instead.

@ryo Josh does self-host. He owns his own hardware, he even runs a VPS service with it. I forget the details but he went to crazy lengths to get his network set up

One man cannot afford enough bandwidth to run his own DDoS filter and anything other than clearweb means you get no traffic, though he did play cat and mouse himself with some attack vectors over the years too

@applejack @ryo /baphomet/ actually had some success on nntpchan back in the day
@applejack @ryo im going back to nntp and im going to make it better
@applejack Broadband internet always has unlimited bandwidth, and the rest of the DDoS problems can be fixed by switching to lighterweight software.

And yes, darknet results in fewer traffic, but the traffic comes from people who actually know how to find your community.
Alternative is to have an invite-only community on the darknet, and a more milk toast version on the clearnet, then invite all the chads into the darknet version without ever mentioning it openly on the clearnet version.
Then just keep the soyboys on the clearnet version, and ban them if they go too woke.
