It'd be great to have a hacker news for things that are not hacker news. I refuse to go to reddit, though.

You left out "being a community of shills". That's really their favorite thing to do.

Probably something on Reddit. If you don't mind the evil.

Yeah, I find the evil "distracting". Call me old fashioned.

You’re deflecting and at the same time declaring yourself on the side of KiwiFarms. Fair enough, but I don’t think you realise how laws around discrimination work in the USA, you may want to look that up (hint just put “protected class” into Google, that’ll get ya started)

I understand law enforcement which is not on the side of anyone inherently other than ideally justice. You, apparently, are not. I suggest you look up "due process" to get a jump start on some crucial points.

Maybe outsourcing one's security needs is "dumb" when it comes to something like the internet since "trust" is hard won and quite expensive.

It’s a basic matter of human decency. They’re hurting people every day. Cut off their fucking access. There is no business or humane reason Cloudflare _should_ be a morally neutral arbiter; it’s a weird fetish of their CEO.

People hurt people. That's why there are police and a judicial system with checks and balances--not a kangaroo court of internet service providers.

This wasn't "larping drama" - KF members went to pretty severe lengths to not just dox people but to show up at their houses and SWAT them etc.

That is a law enforcement warrant matter--not a cloudflare policing matter.
