If anyone needs some backstory - the focal point was this thread on Kiwi Farms about a Twitch streamer named Keffals:

Since then there has been a concerted, sustained effort to knock the site offline by trans activists who don't like having their activities exposed, documented and archived for all to see.

It's working, for two reasons. Firstly, because many of these people have worked in big tech for a long time and have connections, and there is a lot of sympathy to the overall cause by other people who work in tech and have decision-making power about who can connect to what.

Secondly, because they are making personal threats and DDoS attacks, and no-one with any power is stopping them, or even attempting to hold them to account.

Current status regarding Kiwi Farms' disconnection by various Tier 1 ISPs:

The main instigator behind all this, other than Keffals, is another transgender named Liz Fong-Jones:

Null, the operator of Kiwi Farms, has an interesting thread on the censorship resistance of various different service providers they have used:

I fully expect this comment to get flagged and killed; they don't like it being talked about here either.
