Yep. Any alternative site created that attempts to respect the original spirit of the internet pre-iphone era and crosses a certain threshold of popularity experiences attacks on multiple fronts:
-
Influx of hostile accounts posting offensive/hate/glowie material which quickly overwhelms any moderation efforts and adds to revenue overhead
-
Mass ddos attacks which forces admins of said site to purchase expensive ddos mitigation from woke/konverged ddos mitigation providers, adding even more overhead costs
-
If above two aren't successful in making the site go dark, a coordinated barrage of hitpiece articles (ala "Gamers are dead") from all the usual suspects (see gab's wikipedia entry for a nice example)
-
If the admins/staff of said site keep up the good fight, then the undermining/co-opting of the staff begins by covert radicalized woke ideological individuals with no lives (aka n8thegr8)
-
Site's financing/funding is attacked by woke banksters
-
Site loses ddos protection because woke ddos mitigation provider says it promotes violence/hate/misogyny/whatever other communist logic justification
Influx of organic, well intentioned new members slows to a trickle thanks to the above factors. Admins are worn down by the constant attacks on multiple fronts and fold up shop.
The "election" proved beyond a doubt that the court system is thoroughly corrupted anyway. Any lawsuits would get thrown out for "no standing"/"laches" etc.
You will own nothing and be happy.
