I guess the internet archive doesn’t take their mission of preserving the internet very seriously

What KF? Never heard of it.

I guess the old addage has never been truer: "History is Written by Victors"

They have a reputation for targeting people to intensely harass into suicide, with Byuu being a notable victim in the HN/CS sphere.

The people driving the effort to deplatform it were verifiably doxxed, harrassed and threatened, often times in real life, through swatting and in-person harrassment. Some of them were children.

This isn't even witch-hunt style "newspaper will embellish the story", this was published on the forums by the ones harrassing people. The goal of the forums was to provide a space for doxxers to share info on people they didn't like (that they called "lolcows"), and elicit a reaction out of them for i guess entertainment?

KF was a site for snuff movies, except instead of a guy torturing and killing another, it was psychological abuse of the highest degree.
