I'm very glad Kiwi Farms is gone.
But as a thought experiment, would an IPFS based distributed website survive attacks of this nature?
It could be pinned by individual users and gateways and accessed using browser plug-ins.

Surely some of the appeal or enablers for the behaviour on there is that someone else is wearing the legal risk of storing it all
On top of that, access at two biggest gateways would likely be filtered since one is a hobbyist service and the other is cloudflare, so everyone would have to run their own nodes.
So in practice - no. Only an archive of the current state.
To my knowledge, it's content addressable, and therefore limited to static content, because if the content of a file change, the URL to it changes.
