That's an argument that proves a lot, given that it kind of implies that a quorum of customers can simply vote other customers off the island.

well... yes? does that not happen regularly on many platforms?
even on a free service, users have some tiny leverage; they can vote with their feet
Not on any viable investor-funded ones, nope.
even billion dollar corporations like cloudflare (with a "free speech absolutist" CEO) absolutely do drop unpopular customers due to user pressure
If you're talking about moot and kiwifarms that wasn't merely "user pressure" like large customers threatening to walk - it was a harassment campaign hitting up the legal department and cloudflare decided they didn't want to bother dying on that hill
> moot
Do you mean null? Ironically, 4chan actually still uses Cloudflare to this day, and did through that whole controversy too.
I assure you there is way, way worse things posted to /pol/ than there ever was, or will be, to Kiwi Farms.
Right, sorry, Moon not moot.
I enjoyed his interview with Nina Paley and Chris Cohn on life after cloudflare: https://heterodorx.com/podcast/episode-107-how-the-internet-...
Interesting, thanks for sharing.
I have been halfway following the Farm's status for the past couple years from null's telegram/forum posts, I didn't know he spoke about the situation at length anywhere.
