The TLD registry is held by Jiangsu Bangning Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (allegedly located in Nanjing). I don't know if any of the actual network infrastructure or hardware is in China. I only think it's of note because it seems likely they will lose their domain again.
Looking at how these "controversial site" hosts usually go, it's only a matter of time before it gets hacked in some way.
Bro this is the problem, yeah I agree a lot of people like to meander around explicitely saying they dislike gay/trans people because of connotative weight of lables like "homophobic" or "transphobic", but you make it out to be as if you must either support them or want to murder them. I think being gay and trans is gross, it goes against the traditional family values cherished by and so intrinsic to my people, my culture, my religion, and I don't want that shit near my children. Doesn't mean I want to go out and murder trannies outside of GTA.
I think people coming from opposite political spectrums deform their opposition into fanatics, quite often. You can't be anti-LGBT, you must be a religious nut who wants to publicly crucify gay married couples because of their degeneracy. On the other side, you can't be pro LGBT without wanting to groom 3-year-old babies into back-alley gender reassignment surgeries.
It goes beyond that. I literally do not care what people do. If everyone involved has the mental capacity to consent, I do not care what you and your sexual partners do with your bodies as it does not affect me. However, I also do not go out of my way to explicitly support the LGBTQ community, I will not fly a pride flag, I will not go to a pride march, I just do not participate in such things because again, I do not care. It does not matter to me one way or the other. We are at a point where a lot of people online consider that take transphobic or homophobic. Like if you don't go out of your way to explicitly support their community it means you want them all dead.
Well, I disagree with this but to according to their theory. Your passivity is a sign of your heteronormative privilege and prejudice against the struggles of LGBT people.
The idea that silence is complicity predates current thing, Ginetta Sagan's famous quote Silence in the face of injustice is complicity with the oppressor. or Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.
Largely agree but there's some non-discourse stuff that is legit a reason to perk up imo - the stuff, ironically, that the LGBTQ community don't really seem to care about. Lotsa laws that seem fucking ridiculous pop up, like bathroom bills (you can't prove this at all without imposing onerous costs on business and mostly just end up targeting people who naturally look a bit weird, cause there really just aren't that many trans people) where whatever people's intentions are, they don't think about the knockon effects on the majority whatsoever (and the LGBT community aren't talking about that either).
If Fred Brennan is to be believed this is apparently the same entity providing services to 8kun. Predictable course of action - there was literally nowhere else to go.
You should still make that thread here. It's a better place for that and pretty much everything else lol.
I did. 0 replies. Why is it so hard to accept that KF has some stuff to offer that other places dont?

That's what I read too (unrelated to any statements Brennan might be making). It seems to me it would have been a logical first choice over Cloudflare or DDOS-Guard.
8kun was the new admin if 8chan after the old one got too scared of his creation iirc
8kun is what 8chan got renamed to after it got given the same kind of treatment Kiwifarms is getting now.
Personally, I don't think it's funny that they're using the same CDN. What I think is funny is that Kiwifarms was using Cloudflare. In 2017, Cloudflare kicked Andrew Anglin and The Daily Stormer off their service in a similar fashion and promised to never get pressured to remove anyone again. Cloudflare then did the same thing to 8chan in 2019. For whatever reason Null decided he could trust Cloudflare despite their obvious inability to handle pressure campaigns to terminate their relationships with controversial clients. It was also funny that plan B was to use DDOS-Guard (which is located in Russia) because Null had been telling the Russian state censors (Roskomnadzor) to suck his dick for years.
