They were harrasing people to the point of suicide and "swatting" - attempting to murder via police.
- heartbeats 4y agoHow do you know it was them? It wouldn't make much sense for them to SWAT Marjorie Taylor Greene, now does it?
- therouwboat 4y agoWhy not, if mtg was swatted and killed by police, that would great way to show that both sides are the same.
- macinjosh 4y agoBoth sides are the same, they are flawed people.
- altcognito 4y agoThen usage of “they” here is suspect, everybody is political, even if you don’t ascribe to be part of a party.
- _dain_ 4y agoWrong, and wrong.
- boastful_inaba 4y agoIt should be noted for the record that Kiwi Farms has had a longstanding 'no touch' rule, usually displayed prominently at the top of every page. (It appears to be currently replaced by the admin notifications whilst the site deals with the current state of events.) Much like the old site Portal of Evil, another best-of-the-worst aggregator from the early internet, making on-site trolling/harassment plans is a great way to get your account banned very quickly ... or becoming a thread topic yourself.
- sseagull 4y agoKF seems to be the forum equivalent of the “I’m not touching you” game. We (and cloudflare) are morally allowed to read between the lines.
- salawat 4y agoThen don't whine when other people read between the lines regarding your authoritarian proclivities, and consequently do everything they can to frustrate your aims.
- blantonl 4y ago"If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck... "
- ryan-allen 4y ago... you can BBQ it and serve it with hoisin.
- UncleMeat 4y agoAnd yet, people are "touched." I wonder how that happens...
- kelseyfrog 4y agoBecause touching or "I'm not touching you" generates content and engagement. It's basic social media stuff any 10yrold can understand. Playing the I'm not touching you game is content creation - they are the same. It's part of the social media incentive loop.
- klibertp 4y ago> They were harrasing people to the point of suicide a random person on the Internet said. Meanwhile, another random person on the Internet[1] said KF has a ToS that bans anything illegal from the site. I was unable to independently verify either side of the report.

- danielmalmer 4y agoBy "random person on the Internet," do you mean a person who directly attributed their suicide to Kiwi Farms? Because that happened.
- kelseyfrog 4y agoOnce you realize that there is no bar to acceptance for some people, things become.more clear. Fully expect responses like, "this would require an rct to prove," in order to avoid all responsibity. The inside words these folks have is, "this is an acceptable loss of life for the position I'm willing to take."
- danielmalmer 4y agoAbsolutely correct.
- softcactus 4y agoIf you don't know anything about KF, maybe don't post? This is common knowledge to anyone familiar with the site.
- _hl_ 4y agoThis kind of comment is not useful. Enlighten us with your knowledge, or, if what you have to say is not better than silence, keep quiet.
