However when something like this happens and a smaller platform is allegedly involved then it's all fair game. Bullying, harassment etc are seen as a problem with the users (and even groups that the users belong to off platform) and not the responsibility of the platform. Their forums also keep saying that services will continue to be disrupted unless they can find a provider, but I highly doubt there's any providers willing to take on that site after the fiasco.Ĭlick to expand.The rule seems to be that if it's a huge site like Facebook, Tumblr, YouTube, Twitter or Reddit with corporate backing then the dark underbelly is just the cost of doing business. I don't want others to suffer a similar fate as them and I'm afraid that it will become worse if this keeps up, albeit with other peoples.ĮDIT: Dreamhost is now trying to do damage control: I know this is not the right way for you, but for me I just want all of this to end, even if it might not be want I want anyways. From BSNES creator's tweets, he had also lost one of his friends to a similar fate because of the forum's harassment. In truth, I feel really angry because someone I knew and did follow, has passed away in such a horrible way. So the fiasco on Twitter is the only way to at least get attention without involving personal information, although that forum will try to take advantage of these peoples regardless of the intent. Which in the case, might lead to your personal information being leaked. It's not advisable to try to send a DMCA takedown notice or report the forum to Cloudflare because they can forward it to the owner of said forum. That last sentence of yours may be correct, but in this case, once again, the problem is, according to this tweet: If the site doesn't go down, I don't really care anyways, but I hope peoples will use this information to mind and try to steer away from that site after what happened. I am not necessarily okay with it, so I'd say you're right, but in this situation I personally think they deserve it, whatnot with their previous offenses (starting from 5 years ago, when they got someone to commit suicide IRL).
