I figure I'd ask here first as this thread is a first port of call for newbies...

I familiarized myself with the #DropKiwiFarms thread which gives a summary of the site activity and notable people and events. Then I went to Wikipedia to see how badly their article differs from the actual events described by Null. One entry that stood out to me and was not listed in Null's post is about "Near":
In a Twitter thread posted on June 27, 2021, Near, a pseudonymous Japan-based software developer known for their work on the video game emulator higan, described long-term harassment from Kiwi Farms users. Near, who was non-binary, said that they had endured lifelong bullying but that the abuse had recently centralized around Kiwi Farms, which had "made the harassment orders of magnitude worse".

Unfortunately "Near" is a very generic term to search for. Does anyone recall if there's a thread about this person or some account of what the hell actually happened? I'd ask in the thread I linked above, but it was locked long ago.

Edit: ANSWERED, "Near" is just "Byuu".

An unrelated note: wiki claims that KF had a "suicide counter" on the site and even cites a book that you need 55 shekels to even get the exact citation from...
The Kiwi Farms community considers it a goal to drive its targets to suicide, and has celebrated such deaths with a counter on the website.

...so my ask is: can Null bring this back since the site is already accused of having had one? :melchett:

Slightly concerned because I know a guy who served in Afghanistan around that period, lives in Nova Scotia, and has consistently been a shitposter/channer since highschool

I thought this RapeApe character already had his face leaked?
Is that black guy image that has been circulating not actually him or something?

Does anyone actually believe that they are actually improving the codebase and software of the website? I think they are just pissed that all the emails and information about useless mods/jannies leaked and fear repercussions in real life.

There's nothing to "improve". That version of 4chan is dead thanks to its source code leaking. It's all running on software packages that almost all EOL'd well over 10 years ago. If they plan on making nu-chan it will have to be something new or else the mental asylum patients will just continuously take the site down with the dozens and dozens of (now known) exploits.
