Help me advocate for Kiwifarms - Meeting with government officials and lobbyists this coming week.

Tell them that you are from a marginalized internet community, and that they need to restore net neutrality in the name of equity.

Honestly yes, the way to save the farms is to sneak it in the backdoor of some progressive horseshit.

"We all know the LGBT2QIAA++ community, along with BIPOCs, are the most marginalized and are constantly being censored (they aren't, but nobody will dare disagree.). Straight white males get to say whatever they want wherever they want while marginalized communities are silenced (they won't do the research on this)! This is why we must ensure internet backbone services are not allowed to police the content of their customers and deny service to anybody based on content. We must make sure everybody can host their website because in a post-Trump America marginalized communities are ALWAYS under attack!"

Your only hope is going after the conservatives and christian types and remind them we're the canary in the coal mine and if that they dont fight for us then they are next, not because we're gonna do shit to them but because the same people who are censoring us will be the commissars shooting them in the back of the head for not being woke enough

This thread right now...



That being said, part of the problem is the fact that since Kiwi Farms is largely neutral in terms of political stances, normies, techlords, and politicians can all find something that they hate about us and want us shut down for as a result. Conservatards hate us because we are not cucked to the tradcon/monopolist/lolbertarian viewpoint on things. Shitlibs and woketards hate us because we refuse to make excuses for troons or deny that trannies suffer from a mental illness, don't suck techbro cock or refuse to self-censor. Finally, normies hate us because they get all of their news from social media platforms or cable news; and both of the former have been busy trying to sanitize the internet and paint us as some sort of den of Stygian evil that needs to be eradicated.

Most people are quick to champion free speech until they hear something they do not like, then they immediately want to silence the offender regardless of where they fall on the political spectrum.

Honestly @NoReturn is giving you the best possible answer from a commerce angle rather than just ranting about rights. The fact that this can effect how you do business is the big issue, effectively the erosion of a way to make living despite not breaking any laws.

You could probably talk about how the Farms was taken off Cloudflare because Keffals accusing the Farms driving people to suicide via harassment and how easily disproven that is. Null really doesn't have the legal funds to pursue defamation this degree. If you're a small business owner and this tactic starts getting more and more use then it won't be autistic men obsessed with fat women getting deplatformed.

is this literally qanon mr qanaon tell them that china controls the internet so it should be abolshed avocate millitary action against ISPs and BLM protesters and call for the peaceful imprisionment for transgenders also politcians hate jews make sure to bring up the holocaust being fake and jews being satan spawn

If they bring up "muh doxing" make sure to point out that we only use publicly available information, which is usually publicly posted by the cows themselves.

 

[Soggy paper straw]

It's an apolitical humor and gossip forum mainly focused on discussing eccentric individuals broadcasting their lives online.

The true way is to get them hooked on Chantal or ALR - then they will fight for the KF on their own!

If they bring up "muh doxing" make sure to point out that we only use publicly available information, which is usually publicly posted by the cows themselves.

Is doxing illegal? No, it's not. If you disagree, go make a law about that.

Where the Sidewalk Ends: The Death of the Internet

The Internet is becoming smaller, fragmenting down national borders, and succumbing to regulations imposed by governments and various special interests. An internet is a network made of smaller networks. The Internet is the single international network you are using right now. The Internet is...

This is likely too technical for normal people. Remember that "normal people" are okay with having an Amazon Echo in their homes, don't think AWS being a de-facto monopoly is news-worthy, are okay with seeing ads everywhere, and will eat the bugs.

Fundamentally it depends who you will be talking to. Republicans can also be very happy with monopolies and censorship. How much do they truly care about freedom of speech?

Also, watch this 5 minutes of a senator finally taking an interest in right-to-repair because he is personally affected: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kd3Qa9tlA3o
On that note, in addition to what others have suggested, you could try to reach out to Louis Rossman?

I think the un-banking angle is the strongest. Isn't that something that Canada did against the truckers' protests?
