We have moved daisuki.com.br away from soridata.com to prevent issues with one affecting the other, since the suspension of Soridata had taken down daisuki.com.br too.
Daisuki.com.br was restored as a static site on a new server.

2026-01-19

The site was suspended by host Hostinger after a brigading campaign by fantards who complained about the Non-organic views being "fake" and "misleading". Although the host agreed to unsuspend the site, we decided to take it down.
