What is kiwifarm? It think it should be the first paragraph.


> Kiwi Farms, formerly known as CWCki Forums, is an American Internet forum dedicated to the discussion of online figures and communities it deems "lolcows" (people who can be "milked for laughs"). The targets of threads are often subject to doxing and other forms of organized group trolling, harassment, and stalking, including real-life harassment by users. Harassment stemming from Kiwi Farms has been implicated in the suicides of three people targeted by users of the site.

LibsOfTiktok-esque forum that laughs at people being silly on the internet. Just archiving publicly available information.


> Just archiving publicly available information

…as part of coordinated, targeted harassment campaigns with the ultimate goal of forcing the targeted individuals to kill themselves.

I don’t know if you think calling it “just archiving publicly available information” is clever or something, but it’s incredibly transparent.
