Mmmmmaybe Corinna Cohn? She's worked in tech and is probably fairly pro free speech.
This is a great idea, actually. Her and Nina Paley are pretty publicly disillusioned with the EFF, and are friends of the site, it would be worth contacting them, at the very least, to see if they have any ideas.
 
Paying a cow to do it might not be the worst idea actually. It'd have to be the right cow (not Chris-chan, sadly, though that would be fun), since their antics could get Null and The Charity in trouble, but having a "victim" of the site visibly cooperating with Null could be a good thing.
Oh my God, BossmanJack! Just don't let him touch the funds and give him some juice and he will be a mover and shaker for you!
 
Board members can be compensated but you need a budget for it.
If it ever comes to that, remember my name. I'm not a tech-priest but I am loyal to the cause and reasonably intelligent. I'm just not in a position right now to take on the risk to my main job for janny wages.
 
@Null have you asked Louis Rossman if he'd be interested in being a part of it?
Rossman actually could be a huge win, he's good enough to have been successful in New York, told megacorps and government pansies to fuck off, and has put his money where his mouth is. Plus all of that technical know-how and connections would be a big support structure to Josh's autistic superpower of keeping retard containment sites online.

His business relies on being able to accept and make cc payments and allowing people to just walk in to his business unobstructed and receive service. The nanosecond he becomes legally tied to anything even remotely related to KF or josh, trannies will harass his customers by chimping out on public space next to his store, visa/mc/ae will completely ban him and his, and non stop 24/7 online smear campaigns by trannies with nothing to lose and infinite free time will start.

He'd literally need someone who's either a crypto millionaire, or lives/operates in a stand your ground/castle doctrine state so trannies are afraid to fuck around with them, and either operates in cash only/crypto by default or can afford lawyers to sue for being denied access to financial services. A hermit like Mental Outlaw who can also counter any trap cards with race card would be ideal, since he already operates in crypto and lives in bumfuck nowhere, but he doesn't seem like someone who - even with full protection of the law - would defend his property using tools trannies are afraid of.

What the other guy said, but Rossmann should be left alone to handle Right to Repair advocacy with his billionaire sponsor.
 
I'd volunteer but I'm pretty stupid and lazy. I'll probably donate though.

Don't snort it up your nose, Joosh.
 
aying a cow to do it might not be the worst idea actually. It'd have to be the right cow (not Chris-chan, sadly, though that would be fun), since their antics could get Null and The Charity in trouble, but having a "victim" of the site visibly cooperating with Null could be a good thing.

It'd be a terrible idea. If you're attempting to set up any kind of charitable operation, governance is important. If it's a charity that has real-world objectives and you're actually trying to achieve something, you want people on your board who bring real world skills and experience that can actually help you achieve those objectives.

If you're just trying to larp as a charity and don't give a fuck about outcomes, then sure, pack the board with as many lolcows as you like. But I tend to think the site and it's objectives are actually too important to piss around like that. Ideally, you want board members who can deal with government/business/etc. without behaving like retarded cunts.
 
It might not be a bad idea to find someone with a background in marketing if you want to bring in any money. Jeremy Hambly had a pseudo successful career in marketing and talks a lot of shit about free speech. I know he's a lolcow but I'm under the impression it's because of his political drama and shilling, as opposed to him being a total fuck up.
 
Does 501(c)(3) mean we’ll be able to donate real money to you, or would Visa still be allowed to ban you? Would such donations be used to sponsor the kiwifarms, or only “Internet freedom” in general?
you can donate to the org sometimes later
donations will be used to support the org not kiwi farms
you can donate to KF separately using those crypto addresses at the bottom of the page.
 
Personally I think you need a squeaky clean guy as your third. If it's you and the suicide site guy no one is gonna wanna do anything with you.

You need someone corporate people are cool being in photos with and shaking hands.

Not trying to be argumentative, but I don't see why having a normie front guy is really necessary. Though I'm open to suggestion given I don't understand the industry.

I would imagine this venture is more so to create a protective legal and taxation framework.

This charity is never going to be the recipient of corporate donations or government grants. It is also very unlikely to ever be able to run grassroots campaigns that will ever reach normies.

I would think it's more important to find someone who knows the rules and how to stay within them to avoid being noticed rather than an actual bagman out there gladhanding and kissing babies.
