Hate Forum Kiwi Farms Practically Dead As Owner Posts Conspiracy-Laden Rant​

Only 24 hours after it was forced to flee to Russian servers, it now looks like hate forum Kiwi Farms—which has been in the news once again for its role in harassment campaigns and threats against life—has seen its last days as a functional website.

After Cloudflare and hCaptcha dropped support for the site yesterday, Russian company DDoS-Guard has now done likewise. This has led Kiwi Farms owner Joshua Moon to issue a lengthy statement that’s riddled with conspiracy theories, while also facing up to the fact that this is the end of the site as he knows it.

“This meme about Russia being a free country is a joke,” Moon writes on Telegram, seemingly only realising this now. He then moves onto laying the blame for Kiwi Farm’s demise at everyone except its own toxic, criminal and reprehensible community:

This is an organized attack. There is a coalition of criminals trying to frame the forum for their behavior. These criminals provide opportunities for professional victims to amplify their message. Journalists canonize the crimes as the behavior of the forum itself, which becomes the effective truth for the general public.
This is a machine that was built up formerly against 8chan and activates any time the cathedral wants to test the new fronts of its censorship. It is a massive amalgamation of various interests. I am one person. The financial limitations aren’t even the real problem - the problem is, I am powerless alone. There is no amount of money I can throw to convince people to be brave and be free. This is just the reality of our country.

And what this machine will not accept is compromise. If I censored specific kinds of behavior, it would not matter. They don’t want a specific thing censored. They want the average person to be able to speak in channels where only specific thoughts are acceptable.
More importantly, they want to make it so that no small organization can host a service which threatens the cathedral. It used to be that one guy with a good idea could open a platform and be a Tom Anderson, Mark Zuckerberg, Tom Fulp, Christopher Poole, or Richard Kyanka. Take note these names are all from 10+ years ago. There are no new groundbreakers online anymore because breaking ground in the new Internet’s corporate parking lot is not allowed.
I do not see a situation where the Kiwi Farms is simply allowed to operate. It will either become a fractured shell of itself, like 8chan, or jump between hosts and domain names like Daily Stormer.

Ok buddy. It’s poignant here that he brings up 8chan and Daily Stormer, two other former bastions of internet hate that, after similar deplatforming action, are now hollow shells of their former selves, fragmented and difficult to access. Because that’s the fate that surely now awaits Kiwi Farms, something streamer and political commentator Clara “Keffals” Sorrenti—herself the most recent target of Kiwi Farms’ violent threats—points out in her own statement:

The campaign is over. We won.
After the announcement that Cloudflare would drop Kiwi Farms as a customer, the site came online again with a Russian domain and switched to DDoS-Guard. Less than 24 hours later, DDoS-Guard, a Russian company that specializes in DDoS protection, has also dropped Kiwi Farms. Their Russian domain is now offline, and Joshua Moon has stated “I do not see a situation where Kiwi Farms is simply allowed to operate. It will either become a fractured shell of itself like 8chan, or jump between hosts and domains like Daily Stormer”.
Many sites that have faced pressure campaigns to be deplatformed, like 8chan and Daily Stormer, are still online. They are nevertheless completely impotent. Whether or not we are able to completely remove Kiwi Farms from the internet is irrelevant to the fact that the goals of our campaign have not only been achieved, but have achieved more than we could have ever expected.
All the major corporations that provided the services to keep Kiwi Farms online have decided that Kiwi Farms poses a great risk. The CEO of Cloudflare has said that Kiwi Farms poses an “imminent and emergency threat to human life” and former assistant director of the FBI has claimed Kiwi Farms carries a “threat of domestic terror”. It has become very clear in the last week that there is no tolerance for this kind of hate, and millions of people have come together to celebrate their defeat.
FiberHub, the company that houses the servers Kiwi Farms is hosted on, has not made a statement. Joshua Moon believes that FiberHub will also drop them, as Kiwi Farms is now considered a terror threat and there is no benefit for any company to provide them service. Our team will monitor the vestiges of Kiwi Farms in the coming weeks and months. It is highly unlikely that Kiwi Farms will resurface with enough resources to maintain the online presence they once had. As a result, this is the final statement of the Drop Kiwi Farms campaign until further notice.
What we have accomplished in such a short time has never been done before in the entire history of the Internet. The countless victims of Kiwi Farms can sleep soundly knowing that the site is doomed, will never regain it’s former momentum, and will continue to bleed followers and become more and more irrelevant with each passing week. We have done our part to honour people like Julie Terryberry, Chloe Sagal, and David Kirk Ginder (Near). Thank you all for helping me and every other person affected by Kiwi Farms seek justice. Today the world is a better place.

A huge congratulations are in order to the #DropKiwiFarms team, and everyone else who has worked so hard—and endured so much—over the years to reach this point today.

I used to live and let live with journoscum being journoscum. Oh they're just spouting bullshit, oh nobody buys Kotaku, but then I remember this isn't some AI generated clickbait shite. A real person wrote this. Someone with enough money to donate to causes which make society more and more trash. And they don't stop at preaching their diarrhea to the choir, they seek to suppress and destroy any opposing thought. Then they target those who just want to live and let live too. They refuse opposition, they refuse passivity. They don't want me living my own independent private life, they want a permanent cultural revolution with all involved. And it makes me sick.

A life of monasticism in the middle of Appalachea is seeming highly fine.

HAHAHHAHA.

DUDE.
I KNEW I REMEMBER THIS RETARD.

He's the dumb bitch that wrote "Death of a Gamer" during Gamergate.
Holy fuck.

Actually wasn't he one of Five Guys btw? Imagine pitching for trannies this badly and this time they're not even giving out sexual favors.
I fucking hope.

 

[Aero the Alcoholic Bat]

Oh you killed us did you? Get ready for Zambie KF. Through the power of undeath we won't stop making troons cry.

Just in time for Halloween too. I like it.

Especially if somehow we're unable to keep this site alive and we start up more splinter groups that they can't all stamp out.

 

[Haramburger]

Gamergate was right about game journalism.

It taught us a lot about optics and PR tactics as well. You could have been right about everything as a pro-gator and had all your facts carefully outlined with sources and brainrotted libtards would dismiss it all and call you a nazi then, too. It was next-level agitprop warfare and WE'RE STILL WAIST DEEP IN IT.

That's the problem with all of these things: a lot of people, particularly the "brainrotted libtards" that you mentioned, simply refuse to listen to you and will just dismiss what you show them. From Gamergate to this whole Keffals thing, it's always the same.

In this same vein I was lurking Twitter earlier and I saw some big account (more than 100k followers) pushing the whole "Jordan Peterson is radicalizing young men to hate women and be misogynist incels" thing. I'm not trying to gunt guard for Peterson or anything, but I think that anyone who knows much about him knows that those claims are bullshit whether you love, hate or feel indifferent towards him. Meanwhile in the comments of the thread it was just mostly filled with people (quite a few with Ukrainian flags either as their avatar or in the usernames, for what it's worth) going "omg he sounds so awful." Those are the types who want him deplatformed, sites like Kiwi Farms banned, etc. They've probably never heard a word from him, never read a word he's written down (like Olivia Wilde admitted despite using him as inspiration for a villain for a movie,) nothing.

It's the same bullshit with Marjorie Taylor Greene's response to being swatted by some cunt who claimed to be from here: "Never heard of them, never looked into them, can't even exercise critical thinking as to why the story of it being a mod from there is nonsensical... anyways, this is the world the Democrats want! BAN! BAN! BAN!"

Too many people are just fucking dumb and many are just malicious, and they all have a lot of power, directly or otherwise.

 

[Haramburger]

It's probably fake and gay, but small nuggets like these and the fact that other websites and overlapping communities exist keeps me sane:


Powerful people don't want us to congregate & talk about things they don't like. I'm capable of finding these people on other sites, and I WILL SHITPOST WITH THEM WHETHER OR NOT I'M "ALLOWED TO." Thankfully there seems to be some similarly powerful people on our side as well.

We can remain autistic longer than they can remain motivated.

This sounds suspiciously like /biz/ before selling GameStop stock early, but I'm onboard.

 

[Otterly]

You'd think that some of these retards would catch on to the fact that Kiwifarms serves as a quarantine for us just as much as it lets us laugh a them

No really, without the farms, there'd be how many pissed off autists let loose on their precious Social Media's? Niggerfaggots, this is the last real bastion of the old Internet - y'know, back when it was socially acceptable to be a sociopath online - and more importantly it keeps us all in one place. Would you rather we be more direct in calling journos scum, among everything else we get up to re: laughing at you dipshits?

It became apparent to me about five years ago that online would be picked off gradually. It was when they came for mumsnet of all places. Mumsnet. Where women discuss what brand of nappy is best and laugh about the neighbours bad parking. Suddenly I was persona non grata for saying humans could t change sex. Now I consider myself a fairly ethical person and I’m not used to being told I’m a nazi so it was a bit annoying.
At that point, I accepted that I needed to be a little bit braver, so I decided to start talking to people about it IRL. I was very worried about doing this because I assumed everyone was fully pozzed and you can’t start with links off /pol/, you know. It has to be normal friendly.
And an odd thing happened. When I did, I found that the process was usually
- hahah oh no we mustn’t be bigoted must we I mean you’ve got to be…. They do WHAT ?! And then it really only takes a couple of gentle little showings of a couple of articles, a couple of tweets. You usually get disbelief, and then I leave it to simmer with them for a bit. I change the subject.
About 10% don’t talk to me any more. The other 90% come back a little while later having decided that otterly is a bigot but I’ll just check… they read. They realise. And then they’re fully, as the kids say, red pilled. Then they see it everywhere. There’s an entire group of pensioners I know who are now big fans of poise Parker. Some of them are quite influential locally.
And then let me tell you, they says there’s no fury like a woman scorned but really there’s no fury like a woman worried for her kids.
So just be a tiny bit braver, you don’t have to be publicly tweeting trannocide, you don’t have to be the public face of Notorious Hate Forum KiwiFarms, you just have to talk to people. Quietly but seriously, truthfully, in a way that just asks them to look and judge for themselves. Some will call you names, but if you speak, the rest will listen.

I thought I was on Kiwi Farms though.

Wait...

All that we see or seem
Is but a sneed within a sneed.

I fucking hope.

Not one of the five guys, just checked. A retard nonetheless.

 

[soy_king]

I didn't even care about Keffals until it started its jihad to shut down the only place on the internet I truly enjoy. Thanks, you disgusting fat tranny, because if you I was forced to learn what stochastic terrorism is, and reinforced my view that like every other tranny you have a mental disorder.

Jezsce Fermi ne Zgineli! you're gonna need to try harder to get rid of us cockroaches

It's not confirmed, but speculated. The confirmed 3/5 guys are Nathan Grayson (kotaku reporter), Robin Arnott (indie game clique hipster, IIRC he does "sound design"), and her boss, Joshua Boggs.
There were a couple names speculated to be among the other 2, mostly indie game developers who were part of the same Toronto clique Zoe lived in when she met the dude who eventually spilled the beans, but none confirmed.

 

[Barbussy Enjoyer]

There isn't even a conspiracy it's just trannies being furious that people are making fun of them and corporations wanting to protect their reputation (and by extension, their bottom dollar).

 

[HarblMcDavid]

There isn't even a conspiracy it's just trannies being furious that people are making fun of them and corporations wanting to protect their reputation (and by extension, their bottom dollar).

In a legal sense, a Conspiracy is an agreement between two or more people to commit an illegal act, along with an intent to achieve the agreement's goal.

If we aren't there already (e: between the trannies journos and DDOS/violent threat brigade) we're damn close.

Of course they mean "conspiracy" in the way intended to signal it's time to ignore everything the person we're about to quote has said.

e: clarity

 

[whogoesthere]

Jokes on these faggots, I like conspiracies. In fact, sometimes for fun I just believe whatever conspiracy I am told. Even if I know its bullshit, I accept it in my mind as totally true. The more outlandish the better.

Make sure you giggle if you read this on this "dead site".
