Nathan Larson
Nathan Larson is owner of Nathania, Libertapedia, RationalWikiWikiWiki (Leucosticte iteration), Meta-Inclu, ChildWiki, and SuicideWiki. He provides technical support for PolyWiki, which is owned by his sister, Alyah Skye, aka PolyFox; and for FauquierLP.org, Prisoners' Rights Wiki, and theshatteredpan.org.
He is also active on WikiIndex and MediaWiki.org. He is a bureaucrat and sysop on Mises Wiki. His ancestry is Template:W, Template:W, Template:W, Template:W, Template:W, and Template:W. His spouse is Augustine "Phoenix" Blakely Larson.
As of 22 May 2014, he considered himself "99% retired" from the wikisphere. On 13 June 2014, he announced:
| I guess because of extended family members' complaints, I was told that it would be necessary to take down the online nudity, advocacy of prostitution, advocacy of age-of-consent abolition, etc. that had been originating from this household. This makes me think that perhaps there's no reason not to migrate all of my online content from Dreamhost to some relatively inexpensive host. The point of switching to Dreamhost was to be able to have almost completely unfettered speech, since most hosts will give you a terms-of-service takedown warning if someone reports you for "adult content" or whatever else offended them.
Or maybe I'll just eliminate every part of my web presence that requires paid hosting, since I'm pretty broke anyway, and most of my sites didn't attract positive reviews. I've usually been the type to prefer to take down entire websites, rather than selectively censor myself and put forth a sanitized version. I can still post controversial arguments to places like Quora, which are walled gardens that require people to login to view everything, and that allow anonymous posts. |
That same day, he also deactivated his Facebook account, in order to hide the timeline, since it had extensive commentary on controversial topics, which he had been criticized for ever posting to begin with. He also began the process of backing up all the other wikis to his hard drive, so that he could preserve their content for some theoretically possible (but probably never-to-arrive) date in the future when he might brush off the mothballs and resurrect them. The intent was to close his web hosting account entirely and let all the domains expire.
