@davidgerard #RationalWiki has been getting hammered either by #DDoS or #AI scraper attacks since at least March 3.

@BohemianPeasant It was also #fascism in Trump's first term, but fewer people said it.

#RationalWiki is now back and functioning without any significant outages for 3 days. 503 errors were apparently caused by an actor on #Alibaba Cloud doing scraping for #AI, and also affected other sites that were unprotected and unable to handle the #DDoS load.

After a multi-day outage caused by #AI #botnets, #RationalWiki is back online, and is apparently stable, though Javascript is now required for browsing.

@RationalWiki , as a longtime admirer of RationalWiki , I'll just mention in case this hasn't been noticed that the Vanish cache layer currently cannot reach the back end engine (site therefore being down). Best wishes for site recovery, good folks.

#Fascism is a term applied to a fairly diverse range of historical regimes, but is generally agreed to refer to a system of far-right #authoritarianism and #totalitarianism characterized by its obsession with the nation and often race, severe regimentation of society, and extreme levels of […]

Rationalism is not bad per se, but like "truth" in a name, it can be a red flag. Despite our own name, #RationalWiki does acknowledge this (rationalwiki.org/wiki/Essay:I_thought_thi... and RationalWiki does not have a hierarchical structure […]

#RationalWiki has been saved from the brink of collapse from a series of frivolous #SLAPP lawsuits. We came out of this with an out-of-court settlement requiring removal of about 60 web pages, and a reincorporation from New Mexico (weak anti-SLAPP laws) to Oregon (strong anti-SLAPP laws). Moving […]

#RationalWiki appears to have escaped the threat of imminent closure due to an out-of-court settlement with the plaintiffs. The terms have not been made public.
There is an apropos article in today's Guardian by journalist Carole Cadwalladr on weaponized lawsuits by tech oligarchs.

It is appearing very likely that #RationalWiki will be dissolved this year due to lack of legal representation (no pro bono lawyers came forward and we do not have funds to hire a lawyer). Meritless #defamation lawsuits were filed against us by "human biodiversity"/"scientific […]

#Technocracy is a form of government in which the decision-makers are selected based on their relevant expertise, with a preference for those with scientific/technical knowledge. The idea is that said people would treat a nation's problems as a series of 'engineering challenges' for which they […]

#RationalWiki is facing imminent legal peril from 5 separate defamation lawsuits from 5 #eugenics supporters. At least 2 of the lawsuits appear to be frivolous on their face. The 5 litigants are known to have acted in concert to take advantage of the weak #SLAPP protections within our state of […]
