Maybe this lends weight to the idea that the strongest social network is decentralized and not reliant on a single point of ownership/control/failure? :)

Strongest, yes. Most profitable, no.

We’ve had that for 40+ years. It’s called email. It’s a cesspool of spammers and scammers with an asymmetric cost advantage over the filters and operators of servers.

I do have to wonder if people are on to something calling it a honeypot due to cloudflare inexplicably keeping them online yet ban other sites like kiwifarms. They still service 8chan as well and they're even posting zoosadist videos. Maybe law enforcement really is keeping it up in order to catch people, I don't know.
