It's not big news anymore but Kiwi Farms is back online

> On September 6, 2022, The Daily Dot confirmed that VanwaTech was providing content delivery network services to the site, hence bringing it back online.[60][61] Other websites running on VanwaTech infrastructure experienced availability problems as a result, including The Daily Stormer and 8chan.[62]

Also keep in mind that Kiwi Farms was only blocked because of the massive backlash Cloudflare received. If your site only gets a few hundred visitors a month, you're not going to get this backlash.

(Not to mention, porn is considered much more acceptable than doxxing and targeted threats, relatively speaking)

The owner had their domain name, CDN/ddos protection, post box, personal phone number, legal aid, and likely other services canceled. All within a week.

They now are struggling against a constant stream of DDoS and targeted hacks due to a lack of protection previously provided by CloudFlare.

They got taken down again a few days after that, although they've occasionally been back up since. I don't think of them as a big site, although I could be wrong.
