It’s still available via its onion address. I think the more websites that are pushed onto the dark net is just going to increase its prevalence and use. I silencing bad behavior rather than confronting it, it’s just going to proliferate.
It's still available at the other major archive site, e.g. https://archive.ph/uLpNt And the site itself is still there at its ".top" domain, and its Tor hidden service. I'd not heard of Kiwi Farms before this whole censorship attempt, but have been finding it fascinating reading over the past few days. Really quite depraved content, but oddly captivating, in a scurrilous kind of way. Feels like some sort of obsessive…

Like you, I at also took a look to see what the fuss was about. But, judging by the titles of the various discussion threads, it just looked like a collection of moronic drivel. So I didn't bother reading anything.
Still, that's at least two of us who'd never even have heard of the site, much less visited it, of it wasn't being censored.

>I'd not heard of Kiwi Farms before this whole censorship attempt... Me neither. When I started seeing the name on HN, I honestly thought it was literally a kiwi farming website [Do they even farm kiwis in NZ]. Like you, I at also took a look to see what the fuss was about.

I have zero interest in participating with their content, but sent KF a crypto donation to help support forums with less censorship. I'm sure they'll be getting a nice bump in funding from all this.

It looks more like some personal vendetta that this "keffels" person had against them.
4chan had much worse content, yet even they were not entirely purged from the internet...
As a person who lived through Gamergate, my base assumption here is that the attacks Kiwifarms are alleged to have made are entirely fictional. This is something that I (and you) could possibly check if there was some kind of Archive of the Internet, but apparently that evidence was just destroyed for reasons which are not suspicious at all.
It's incredibly difficult to validate things "on the internet" these days, because basically it boils down to people you don't know claiming things you can't confirm or deny without having been there.
I mean some people maintain that byuu, who is said to be one of the KF victims driven into suicide, cannot even be confirmed dead since nobody except some of his closest friends know where his grave is, and because his death is not registered in the US database of deaths abroad. If I had been harrassed by anyone in the extent he has, this is exactly how I would have staged my death to "disappear" and start a new life in some other country... I really want to believe he is still alive and kicking in a small town somewhere in rural asia...
