Utterly disgusting take. Harassing and threatening people, unrelenting campaigns during years to drive them to suicide, is okay because it's "an effective tool to shut down" what you deem to be "degenerate" behaviour.

Many things aren't black and white but what you just said is pure evil. Your parents ought to be ashamed.




Instagram has driven people to suicide too, meta doesn't care. Same goes for any social platform.

You seem to have visited a very different Kiwifarms than I have. They always made a point about not interacting with the shown individuals. There haven't been any threatening or harassment campaigns. In fact people saying such things out loud have been shamed for their behaviour.

Not sure if you know the Chris Chan saga and the role Kiwifarms had and has in protecting Chris?

I am not excusing them, I have no exclusive opinion about them either. But your image of the site is simply wrong.

If you want to claim that they do, then you should provide some evidence. Preferably not in the form of circular references to unsourced blog posts/articles.


Just to be clear I didn't not mean to call anyone degenerate. I was just talking about some people's dangerous online behaviour that could harm others.
