(I'm inferring that your comment is supporting KiwiFarms. If this is not the case, you should probably re-word it.)

> salem witch trials du jour so fervently pushed by certain groups of people

Hunting trans people and pushing them to suicide sounds like much more of a witch trial to me.

> forcing their narrative and banning any discourse that they don't like

Telling to people to kill themselves is "discourse" that we merely "don't like"?

> put stop to this madness

Even if you're a raging transphobe, how can you possibly think being trans is more madness than pushing people to kill themselves?

Your response is a perfect demonstration of the issue at hand and the choice of words is driven by a desire to silence the people who question the logic of a tribe you perceive yourself a part of: nothing in my post indicated support of some narrow part of the spectrum of opinions yet you make an assumption and go through with accusation anyway.

As Paul Graham himself put this, anyone suspected of supporting yellowists is to be investigated for missteps and once one is found to the trial they go.

Supporting Kiwi Farms right to exist is not the same as supporting the content.

You’re right, but they’re related.

KF has a right to exist. But if they want to be part of society at large, society owes them no great debt; they are welcome to remain insular and talk about their bullshit amongst themselves, or even host their own CDN mitigation service if nobody wants to work with them, but nobody is required to give them a platform to spew their odious content.

KF has a responsibility to abide by the law. By extension, it has a responsibility to ensure its users do not use it to break the law. I support KF's right to exist, but not in this state.

It has a right to exist. CF has the right to choose their clients. I really don't see your problem. If they want to exist, they can host themselves and/or use TOR.

If they want to exist they can roll their own framework, host themselves, make their own chips, mine their own ore.
