In light of the Kiwi Farms situation this is a discussion that we really need to have, and I think the demographic of this community in particular makes it a really good place to talk about this. I'm hoping that this thread can be of use to the admins of this site, and maybe even Kiwi Farms or anyone looking to keep a website up in the face of the kind of concerted troon attacks that Kiwi Farms is experiencing. I wanted to ask our more technically inclined users:
a) Is troon proofing a website possible?
b) If so how do you do it?
My understanding is that you need your own servers, a domain name, DDoS protection, and a way to protect against hackers. But this isn't my area of expertise and I may be missing something. In any case it would be necessary to troon proof every link in the chain. I'm interesting to hear what the community thinks about this.
With the caveat that I am a luddite with no technical knowledge whatsoever, Null talked about the monolithic challenge on the Mad At The Internet livestream with Metokur Sept 17th.
Null addressed that there are very few safe havens for Western-based sites.
Russia and China aren't as permissive to heterodox Western groups as you might hope they would be.
Sanctuaries like the Seychelles don't have the infrastructure required for the bandwidth a site like KF needs.
Null talked about how he believes a rogue Alphabet employee fucked up his personal Google Voice functionality so insidiously that Google support couldn't detect it.
He also listed a bunch of countries, mostly in Europe like Finland and Lichtenstein, that he or his lawyer had researched, but couldn't find any loopholes to hide from globohomo.
