Dear Cloudflare: if AWS can figure this out at scale and still be gigantically profitable, you're not taking a principled stand, you're just being bad at your job.

So hang on, let me get this straight.
reckons that him booting some pack of jerks is an Internet death sentence, and yet… this.
So maybe they shouldn’t feel so bad about punting assholes? Maybe they should do it… more?

Kiwifarm is back up on a Russian domain and DDoS-guard has replaced CloudFlare. It onion domain is also up and running.

I'm not hard to get hold of (especially since I was doxxed 👺). I was in individual communication with rank and file Cloudflare employees who repeatedly offered to their leadership to set up a meeting with me and with .

Given that CloudFlare have doubled down on "we only care if it's illegal" stance, my opinion of anyone who continues to intend to hold down a job there remains as it was on Thursday.

...and if you're saying "this speech is repugnant but it's not illegal" you're doing it wrong.
It IS your responsibility to shit on repugnant speech, whether or not it's illegal.

It's GOOD that the police only step in for the very very worst speech: imminent threats and imminent violence.
That doesn't mean everything else is "fine": It means everything else is upheld and enforced by "society".
Society SHOULD shit on abuse till it's driven underground.

normally if you're a hosting provider and you don't like what a client's users are doing, you tell them what the red line is, you tell them to enforce it on their users or else, and... in this case it seems that was skipped entirely. from "you're in good standing" to "pulled"

There’s also this…
Cloudflare were so concerned about violent threats emanating from KF that they were reporting them to police, in many countries, yet they STILL kept providing them with services??
What kind of person does that? Or does business with them?

In other words, KF started targeting people CF actually cared about instead of just trans people, queer people, sex workers, and so on.
Pretending like the site has only recently got really violent, as this blog post does, is quite simply farcical and cannot be taken seriously.

Cloudflare has dropped Kiwi Farms. Our campaign will put out a statement soon.

The assertion that this is yet another special case rather than anything that establishes precedent just means that people will need to go through all of this again for every other violent hate site Cloudflare hosts

We just blocked Kiwifarms. The threats on the site escalated enough in the last 48 hours that, in spite of proactively working with law enforcement, it became enough of an imminent emergency we could no longer wait for them to act. Details of our decision: blog.cloudflare.com/kiwifarms-bloc
confirmed, registered by cloudflare and resolves to cloudflare ip but is serving an error message about "imminent threat to human life" with a pointer to

There's negative ROI in retaining a 10x rockstar who's impossible to work with because there's no such thing as an "individual contributor"
They might be really good at their own job but do invisible harm to the organization overall.

Toxic workers are destructive.
Getting rid of of them (even productive ones) helps more than hiring more superstars in a study of 58k service workers:

Hot tip for US friends: Safeway's vaccination booking system is accepting appointments for the updated COVID-19 vaccines, if your last shot was 2+ months ago.
Just waiting on the CDC to approve distribution, which should be soon.

US chums - the bivalent anti-BA.5 covid vaccines seem to be available from next Wednesday (the 7th) onwards, and there's currently ludicrous amounts of availability from CVS, Walgreens, Safeway and so on which suggests you all either don't know or don't care so maybe fix that

I accidentally misgendered someone who was rude to me on here because I did not know they were NB. I instantly corrected myself but NOBODY reads your bios people. *PLEASE* include your pronouns in your name on here to prevent misunderstandings/offense if it's important to you.

Just booked myself in for bivalent COVID shot! Thanks, Safeway. Not yet actually available in California (or anywhere) but expected to be by the time I have my appointment.

This is interesting: past performance shows that the eSafety Commissioner's office is toothless and largely unaware of how the internet works.
This complaint requires the commissioner to actually do something, and hinges on an understanding of the workings of the internet.

NEW: As part of the #DropKiwifarms campaign, a trans software engineer is exploiting Kiwi Farm's little known connection to Australia to use a new internet law to take the far right hate forum offline.

Alonso wasn't happy so he left. Piastri felt messed about so went and got a drive elsewhere. Ricciardo got strung along even though his seat had been signed away.
