Kiwi Farms — an online forum best known for harbouring stalkers, white supremacists, and overall being one of the worst cesspits the internet has to offer — was knocked offline temporarily on Tuesday in what the site’s operators called a paid-for Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. The alleged attack comes after the site was implicated in the recent suicide of Near, a beloved developer in the emulator community.

In the final Twitter thread they posted before their death, Near — who also went by Byuu, and identified as nonbinary — publicly called out Kiwi Farms for making their lifelong experience with online harassment and bullying “orders of magnitude worse.”

“It’s escalated from attacking me for being autistic, to attacking and doxing my friends, and trying to suicide bait another, just to get a reaction from me,” they wrote. “The internet is not a game. It’s real life. I’m a real person. This stuff really hurts.”

Early the following morning, the security consultant (and part-time hacker) Hector “Marcan” Martin shared a heartbreaking Google document said to be written by a close friend of Near’s that explained some of the more explicit details of Near’s death. In it, the anonymous friend also calls out Kiwi Farms, noting that the site made “a sport” out of “preying on the less fortunate, on those in positions liable to being emotionally abused.” The letter also called out DreamHost and CloudFlare — the site’s domain registrar and web network security provider — for sharing responsibility in driving their friend to suicide. (Gizmodo has reached out to both companies, and will update this post when we receive a response.)

Because this is Kiwi Farms we’re talking about, the site’s operators chose to see the situation differently. During its downtime, the site splashed a lengthy rebuttal to the anonymous letter and Near’s thread on its landing page, saying that “no evidence” of any harassment towards this person exists. But again, this is Kiwi Farms, a site whose toxic community very publicly drove Portland-based game developer Chloe Sagal to kill herself back in 2018. In 2016, a Canadian woman, Julie Terryberry, ended her life after being targeted by the site. So, yeah. If Near, and Near’s close friends and confidants say that the harassment on Kiwi Farms is what ultimately drove them over the edge, it’s worth assuming they’re telling the truth.

While Kiwi Farms seems to have come back online by Tuesday afternoon, the site’s homepage notes that “service will continue to be disrupted,” until the site’s operators “can contact other providers and arrange a fix.” Hopefully that fix won’t be coming for a while.

If you or someone you know is in need of crisis support or someone to talk to, contact the Lifeline Australia hotline at 13 11 14, the Suicide Call Back Service at 1300 65 94 67 or the Kids Helpline (for ages 5-25) at 1800 55 1800.

Worst site on the internet? Yeah we harbor terrorists, pedophiles, and non-leftist opinions.

Also, that portrait, ew.
 
Sorry for not downloading your emulators...or paid any attention to your faggotry :(

If I did, you might be alive. Or dead. I don't know because nobody knows who you are. But I'm pretending to know who you are (that's what matters).

Where's the police report of the 'suicide'?

They’ll omit the fact there wasn’t one since that’d make all their indignation look stupid.

Pedophiles aren’t near as terrible as people who make fun of trannies online according to these people.

In the Hogan vs Gawker court proceedings, Gawker editor AJ Delaurio stated that he would be willing to publish any celebrity sex tape that was newsworthy, including those of children no less than 4 years old.

That was definitely the guy joking, which was incredibly stupid and shows how poor the judgement is of Gawker media's journos that they didn't assume that would sound horrifically awful given he was making the statement for the court. Gakwer in general displayed some obscene hubris with how they even livestreamed the trial on their site, since they were so sure they'd come out both successful and making a mockery of Hogan's story. The fact people that have worked for Gawker continue to get employment is a fantastic example of how shit the entire journalism industry is.
 
Holy shit, could you imagine her opening that mouth to give you a blowjob and see those teeth fold outward like some kind of shark?

Bitch looks like her front teeth could grate cheese.

I'll admit I've heard he claimed after the fact that he didn't mean it and he admitted he was just retarded enough to say under oath that he was willing to be a publisher of child pornography. He was so retarded that after the fact - when given the chance to review the transcript and submit corrections - he was willing to let the statement stand. Later on he was even forced to testify that he had the opportunity to correct himself and just didn't.

I'll also admit that I don't give a fuck about being charitable or even reasonable to Gawker. They have also published rape videos. In court they've heavily implied that publishing all this pornography without the consent of the subjects is because their founder is a jew and this will stop the next holocaust. I'm not calling him a jew for the (((memes))). That's the argument the founder's lawyer put out there.
Berry noted that Denton’s mom was a Hungarian Jew “who survived the Nazis” before escaping the Soviet occupation and fleeing to England at age 18.

“Mr. Denton grew up with parents who’ve seen first-hand what happens when speech is suppressed,” Berry said.

“He wants the public to have the simple, unvarnished truth … the unvarnished truth about public figures.”

I only latched onto the 🍕 because it was already mentioned, but overall I would deem Gawker Media (now Gizmodo Media) as being less moral than the Kiwi Farms. They might be more respectable on a day to day basis, but they're psychopathic coomers. At least when we have someone go crazy and try to make a high score, we ruthlessly mock them. We don't hide that they visited this site, and we don't try to argue about how actually, we have to kill kids to literally prevent the next rise of Hitler. We shit on them just as badly as we would any other lunatic.

Gizmodo might have the legal right to publish the OP, but they aren't entitled to have their claims go unchallenged. Our best vs Their best, they win hands down. Maybe. Null bringing in the A-Team to save CWCville was pretty fucking badass... Our worst vs Their worst, they make us look like saints.
 
For being a supposedly “white supremacist” hate site, Kiwifarms does offer more variety of opinion than Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook combined.

On the internet, nobody knows your skin tone. And much like one Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, I consider all of my fellow Kiwis equally worthless, no matter their color, creed, or sexuality.

I'm pretty sure the Farms is actually more diverse than most left leaning sites, or boards of directors, or C-Suites. Maybe less gender specials.
