peeder assassinated pff today. No archive exists.
Some folks could care less.
But there are a bunch of Americans and non-Americans today without a blog.
for the pffalestinian refugees who dwell here, and anyone else, there is a camp here:

peeder quit.
It has been a while since I’ve been over there but it is surprising to hear this. Peeder seems to have collected a pretty loyal group of users, pinche and otherwise.
we haven’t been able to find her post-pff.
Not unless she posts under a different name. But I think I’d recognise her no matter what name she had.
I was sorry to read this. Liked Peeder’s noble experiment in non-censorship. Not that anyone ever censors much here at the pond that I can ever recall. But it was cool to have a whole blog dedicated to that idea.
I guess we just didn’t provide peeder with enough entertainment for his $15 a month. I kept telling whats-his-name that his puppet show needed new material.
Speaking of puppets, how are we supposed to keep up with the latest incarnations of the troll patrol without cometman’s daily updates?
I read some posts at dk about their worries that they’ll be a troll invasion from pffers.
right. like you’d want to go back to dk after pff.
I hadn’t left Daily Kos. Like vox, I’ve been one of those posting under the same name at both places.
I expect that some of those who had enjoyed creating sockpuppets in the past will continue to find that pasttime diverting. But I don’t imagine that others from pff will suddenly pick up the hobby.
and who’s peeder?
I did like xaviermertz’s comment,
Political Flesh Feast was a blog that was started last August and lasted a little over a year. It’s founder, peeder, declared it an experiment in unmoderated blogging, with only a minimal structure and rules –mostly barring activities that are illegal (like actual threats of violence or kiddie porn) or damaging to the site (like introducing viruses). So no topic or language was out of bounds.
Several of the participants at pff, but not all, had been banned from other blogs. Perhaps in part because peeder was a former admin at Daily Kos (he banned himself from the site over a disagreement), a significant portion of the discussions at pff revolved around meta about that site.
A few days ago, peeder banned the second person ever from the site. Peeder claimed that the poster, denali, had threatened violence, many members on the site disagreed with peeder’s interpretation of what denali had written and wanted him reinstated. After a few days of disagreements, peeder abruptly shut down the site.
A much longer answer than you were probably seeking.
My bad:
spelling, “its founder”
punctuation, “violence; many”
My brain hasn’t adjusted yet from summer vacation.
Many of the Pffirates have now re-grouped at Free Speech Zone
