Not sure if it tracks given that the founder himself more or less got ousted from his platform. I don't exactly think the current owners keep the servers up in good faith.
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.
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? :)
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.
