   @heyarnold @TheQuQu Honestly going down for even just a week made the situation vastly better for the site even if it wasn't intentional, because suddenly the heat level dropped dramatically after a week since they assumed the site was gone.
   
   It's very common when dealing with people like this online that they'll have a very short attention span. They will in fact move on so fast that someone in a chat group I was in had a nickname for this behavior: "yearly cancellations".

     I think you should send your disgression to Josh over email so he can have a more robust system. No one thought it would be so out of control. As they say generals always fight the last battle "they came from the south, so we must defend the south". They now come from the north, so now he have to change strategy and defend the north"... Only defending what needs to be defended from they believe so with the info that they have.

     @heyarnold @TheQuQu I need to write more about shit online, I've written quite a bit elsewhere but not on a website that isn't some WP blog.
     
     KF did come back up, but a few weeks ago it seemed like the site was fsckd and well, I think a lot of people don't realize part of why that site is so fucking hard to host is the heat level of it is so high and every single lunatic wants to wipe them off the internet. Parler/Gab were/are the same way, they're centralized and also had a high heat level.
     
     I'm glad it did come back up (just as a fuck you to the people trying to take it down since anyone can be in that situation these days), but also it's slower and user activity has dipped a bit. But I feel this should be emphasized as well; the site is very costly to host (thousands a month).

     I'm trying to be a gud boi and follow back but my follow requests tend to go into the "Follow Requested" state and stay there. I don't know if that means I need to redo them or not.
