  Well, telcos tell GOP that net neutrality will make their internet bills go up. That's all it takes for them.

  The only way they will understand this issue, is if you tell them that some telcos charge foxnews more.

  Or "Should your broadband provider be allowed to deprioritize X (formerly Twitter) because they don't care for the political views of its current owner?"

  The narrative on NN really should've kept up with the changing times, now that one of the major social media platforms has taken on a rather right-wing slant.

    Kiwifarms has a rather unique problem in that they're frequently subjected to DDoS attacks. There's only so many providers who are equipped to deal with mitigating those sort of attacks and who are also willing to do business with such a distasteful entity.

    I guess the real world equivalent would be that if you wanted to strip to your underwear and smear yourself in pig shit, you're going to have a very difficult time if you left your house in such a state. Society largely considers such behavior to be una

    • Kiwifarm's "unique" problem

      is that the entire site existed for coordinated doxing and harassment campaigns with the goal of provoking suicides, particularly among trans women.
      
      The reason they couldn't get a host wasn't anything the Dems did. A streamer named Keffals kept going to their hosts and pointing out that Kiwifarms was violating their TOS against harassment & doxxing. Kiwifarms finally ended up on the provider that hosts Nazi websites.
      
      But to bring it back to your post, live by the troll, die by the troll. They were

      • Re: Kiwifarm's "unique" problem

        Apparently this isn't exactly true and they've been winning some libel lawsuits lately. There was actually one person unaffiliated with kiwifarms who tried to push Chris Chan to suicide, which apparently they didn't like and so she herself ended up being one of their targets.

        It seems also that keffals herself actually drove some other transwoman to suicide, and she herself is now on some pro-woke shitlist.

          Found the Kiwifarms site admin. Didn't know you guys set up shop here on/. too. Ew.
          
          As for Kiwifarms winning libel lawsuits, which? All I've seen is them getting their asses handed to them in court the few times they've tried, and one of their ex-partners getting hit with a $400k judgement.
          
          As for Keffles, that's just run of the mill twitch drama. Pretty tame stuff too. Nobody drove anybody to suicide and she's not on anyone's shitlist besides some drama queens All mutually playing off each other for

            I'd say "found the tankie" but in your case that's like saying water is wet.

            Anyways, Epik had to retract a statement it made:

            https://twitter.com/EpikLLC/st... [twitter.com]

            They made other statements as well apparently, something about receiving a law enforcement request that they later admitted they never actually received, though I guess that litigation is still ongoing.

            And a suicide note specifically putting blame on keffals:

    • Re: Joe Biden's FCC

      Actually that's just the thing, they were using an ISP that specifically was capable of handling all of it (and some.) The DDoS attacks they receive don't seem to be anything special. At least, they're nothing compared to what typically comes from organized crime groups and state actors.

      Actually the biggest thing keeping them down right now is a domain registrar refused to transfer their.net. Though last I heard they filed a lawsuit against that registrar for libel and I believe they won, but I don't know

• the Republican party is an authoritarian party. They don't represent, they rule. And that's what many if not most of their voters want. They want to be told what to do by their betters because, well, those people are better than them. So they know better.
  
  Ironically they also hate experts. "Better" does not mean spending your life studying, it's something you're born with. The Divine Right Of Kings. After all, the right wing were originally monarchists.

  • Re:

    Do you have the least bit of objective evidence to support your assertions or are you just indulging yourself in yet another ad hominem attack?

    • Re:

      Well the fact that you're triggered 8 ways from Sunday is pretty good evidence I'd say. I hit the nail on the head there.
      
      There's also decades of researching into the right wing proving they have authoritarian tendencies. Recent research seems to indicate it's because of a heightened fear response. The part of the brain associated with fear lights up stronger in the right wing then the left wing.
      
      And as we all know reality has a well documented liberal bias.

      • Re:

        What "triggers" me is that you make a number of assertions, refuse to back them up and then try to make it sound like it's me in the wrong. And that smarmy slogan about reality having a liberal bias just shows that you're not willing to back up your claims.

  • Re: What Republican voters want is irrelavant

    So you must be a republican, because all you ever talk about is shit that you want banned or taken away from others. You're by far the most authoritarian asshole on slashdot.
