@RehnSturm256 @Terry @johnnyappleseed provoking what, though? cloudflare to shut the site down? xD
@RehnSturm256 @Terry @johnnyappleseed cc @retarded according to sjw user registrations had been locked down for a while so i'm inclined to think that it is more likely an established user than someone just trying to get them shut down. if it was, they have been playing the long game. i don't know how long they were locked down or how long that account was around so that would maybe change my mind if we found out that information.
i can't remember, was it kiwifarms or 4chan that doxxed that dude and they had parties on his lawn and threw rocks through his windows and shit? or what about jumping ethan ralph? either way, this kind of people already have set a precedent for taking online threats or jokes to the real world and then celebrating it so it would not surprise me in the slightest if it was real tbh. i'm not saying it is because who the fuck knows for sure, but the fact that it could be is IMO reason enough to cut that kind of stuff away from your business.
especially if there is the potential for crossfire like a bomb in a building full of innocents. i'm not protecting that kind of depravity.
i feel bad for people who use kiwifarms as a means to talk with others without having their speech restricted but there are just unfortunately way too many dumb fucks there for me to give them the benefit of the doubt. if news comes out otherwise i'll GLADLY eat my words. there are times we all want it to be a glowie but i personally don't think this is one of those cases.
@RehnSturm256 @Terry @johnnyappleseed @retarded coming from a global mod that shows the post was real and was deleted by them, and that the user has been around since 2020.
the user did indeed delete his own post but it looks like he hasn't been banned.
@RehnSturm256 @Terry @retarded @johnnyappleseed i will say that it's a bit weird that the user has only posted since july 30th of this year despite having an account since 2020, but idk lurkers exist too. i know there are plenty of accounts on gameliberty that have been around for at least a year and never posted a single thing.
either someone playing the uber long game before anybody even knew who keffals was (therefore their goal may have always been to get kiwifarms deplatformed and wait for a prime moment to strike or something) or a lurker who found this drama spicy enough to get into and finally start posting.
i'll let you decide which is more realistic :P
>Cloudflare says "I'll protect yo speech"
>Hostile actor makes purposefully violent & laughable threats
>Cloudflare now forced to take action
Easiest tactic thing in the world. If events don't go their way, they make them go their way.
