yeah, because it's so difficult to just SWAT someone and claim you're someone you're not? The MTG swatter literally used text-to-speech and said roughly "I'm from Kiwifarms and this is my username: ...". why would anyone go to the trouble of disguising their voice only to tell police who they really are? Null made it very clear that he cooperates with law enforcement if illegal content is put on the site. if it was actually that user, he'd be in a jail cell by now. there was no discussion of anything like this in any thread prior to the attack. it's so obviously a hoax.
why do people have such a fucking blind spot about this? it's the 911 equivalent of a phishing email with a forged sender address. it's trivial.
- viraptor 4y agoYou're choosing one obvious hoax and ignoring piles of reports, from a large number of people, going back years with recurring issues that coincide with kf postings. It's not even worth linking - they're trivial to find on twitter for anyone interested.
- yesco 4y agoIf they are trivial to find then why aren't you linking them? This thread is the first I'm even hearing of kiwi-farms, but skimming through I'm only seeing direct evidence in favor of them and only vague unsourced allegations against them. I hope you understand that even implying a twitter mob is involved isn't doing you any favors here.

- viraptor 4y ago> If they are trivial to find then why aren't you linking them? Because either you care and can spend 5min to find many personal threads on how this impacted people's lives, or not. I'm not here to summarise this for you. This is not random internet drama for entertainment.
- yesco 4y agoWell your passive aggression has me even less convinced in your honesty, this isn't my first rodeo, I'm not gonna blindly trust random testimony without evidence. I genuinely fail to see how kiwi-farms is worse than Twitter or any other social media site for that matter.
