Wow, these trans-trender militants are getting desperate.
Kiwi Farms under attack again

Godless scum will face the consequences of their actions, hopefully soon.
torerous interference is a sueable crime.
Honestly I'm just waiting for the tipping point to be reached were people collectively just get sick of this shit. Once that hits...well those activists have done a whole lot of very illegal shit all that's lacking is the will.

Null doesn't have the money, usual suspects of "freedom of speech" and "civil rights" are all either scared of or in cahoots with troons and also hate kiwifarms.

the good news for them is that the normies are starting to figure things out.
So the tide is turning but very slowly.

Looks like they went and made their own DDos mitigation.

Anyone know how to access the farms at this point? I’ve tried all the ways I know about, and nothing is working.

First one I tried. I just get a really long loading period before it finally says that I can’t connect because the server stopped responding.

According to the update thread on tor, the clearnet domain was seized by the registrar, which has stealthily turned into a shitshow while the farms weren't looking. Apparently Epik, the registrar, is an industry lolcow with a history of stealing domains. The clearnet domain is inactive until something can be sorted out.
On December 12th, 2023 I opened the Kiwi Farms via its primary domain at kiwifarms.net and received an SSL handshake error. I am very familiar with breaking the site and have seen this error many times when working on the frontends, so I know it means one of two things: 1) the webserver is misconfigured to use https://, or 2) the webserver is properly configured but not using an SSL certificate for kiwifarms.net.
Since I was not working on the forum, I immediately diagnosed this as a DNS issue and confirmed the A/AAAA record had changed to just a Terrahost IP.
Terrahost is a subsidiary of Kingdom Ventures, the owner of Epik. I again immediately assumed that Epik had parked kiwifarms.net to a corporate landing page, which would explain both the DNS change and the SSL error. (To be clear, Terrahost was not involved in this, and is functionally independent of Kingdom Venture's Epik despite being a subsidiary).
Epik had removed kiwifarms.net from my domain portfolio. A representative in chat confirmed that the domain violated ToS. I later found an email about it:
Notice of Domain Suspension and Prohibited Content Violation

Epik
Their abuse team has never clarified what part of their ToS we violated.
To explain the history of Epik is difficult. The company is a shitshow. Under the supervision of Rob Monster, they earned a strong reputation for pro-1A. This ended with 8chan, when after 1/6 they decided to force 8chan to move their domains off the platform. Rob Monster was actually so traumatized by 8chan that he instituted a blanket ban on imageboards across Epik, which I learned about through briefly hosting 9chan. This policy seems to still be in place, because the Soyjak Party's secondary domain with Epik was also seized the same day kiwifarms.net.
This decision was extremely confusing to me, because Epik had enjoyed a hostile takeover from Brian Royce, a libertarian out of Las Vegas who has a legally registered RPG-7 in his office. I had received personal assurances from him that Kiwi Farms would be safe on Epik. After bringing this up to the abuse department, they informed me that Brian was gone.
Epik's corporation had been in chaos because they stole millions of dollars of domains from bulk buyers years ago under Rob's supervision, which is what caused Brian Royce to try and take the reigns and save the ship.
Epik the domain registrar was bought by a mysterious company recently registered called Epik LLC. Nobody seems to know who owns it, by design. Epik LLC is different from Epik under Kingdom Ventures, and their new direction for the company seems to be stealing domains again. Terrahost is still owned by Kingdom Ventures.
If this sounds like a shitshow, it is, and there are hundreds of people in the industry who watch the Epik Shitshow much like how we watch lolcows make videos about being married to pokemon.
So in short, Epik has restructured and is no longer being managed competently as it was only briefly under Brian Royce. Thanks to sufficient outrage we were able to compel Epik to give us transfer codes and now kiwifarms.net is parked. kiwifarms.net should continue to redirect to whatever domain we're on until I can get something going permanently.

Any idea what for this time?
The farm's owner blames the trans community.

…from what I remember the farms having dug up about them, it would not surprise me in the slightest if I was true.
The pro troon rape camp out in the dessert and it's connections to high profile tech people being the most alarming.
