I'm a little disappointed actually. I thought this was a completely respectful message. Although I know how Josh is, and his response is perfeclty in line with his track record, I hoped that perhaps the present crisis would make him a bit more open-minded and willing to consider an extension of help.Yesterday evening, our glorious leader @Sailfish came up with a great idea and potential solution for Josh's problems.

Kengle asked me to reach out to Josh with this idea to create a network of sites all dedicated to hosting KF's content, exactly as stated above; a decentralized network that would be harder or even impossible to take down completely.
Here is a copy of the email I sent Josh earlier today.
I wasn't expecting Josh to respond any other way; and I'm only sharing this with the site so everyone can see exactly where Josh's priorities are. He doesn't care about his content, he doesn't care about his site, he doesn't care about his userbase, and he really, ultimately doesn't care about the continued existence of the content on his site. He cares about his monopoly on lolcow culture. That is all he cares about.
Diversifying and creating a network of sites all hosting content FOR him is not enough; Josh would rather KF remain a monolith that can be chipped away at the knees until it falls permanently as the likelihood of more ISPs dropping him has increased from laughable to uncomfortably likely.
Here is Josh's response.

If we're such retards, why do we have a .com domain, a host who has let us stay up for years, a stable and growing userbase, and a site that stays online. Seems to me the only retard in the room is Josh who can't and won't let go of his position as overseer of his monopoly.
I find myself often having mixed feelings about KF and Josh. The woke puritans are the true enemies of everyone who loves the free and open internet and Josh stands directly in defiance against them. Its like I want to like him and cheer for his crusade against our common enemy, but then he does shit like this every chance he gets. He's like having the world's biggest asshole, a complete narcissist dick and a half, on your side of the fight. Kind of reminds me of Trump in a way.
