I have no idea who Keffels is, and I've never posted on KF, but I've freely used it for research on more than one occasion, and I honestly appreciated the fact that there was a resource like it where the crimes, lies, and other misdeeds of minor internet personalities were extensively documented. Stuff like a streamer who ran a crowd funding cash-grab scam, or another one who PM'd underage followers inappropriately. This is dirty laundry these people don't want aired, and since reddit has largely killed independent forums, and the official reddits these people maintain are all heavily censored, and since these people aren't quite noteworthy enough for the MSM to hold them to account, KF was, for better or worse, often the only place you could go to get the "dirt" on them.
Which calls into question the popular characterization of KF as a "troll site." Trolls will readily lie or fabricate to cause outrage and chaos. Is that an accurate characterization of KF? From my experience lurking there, the non-editorial, purportedly factual content on it (not the opinion or speculation) was completely accurate. They would not post stuff they knew to be false.
