  • OP is talking about the infamous hate site Kiwifarms, which she’s a member of. Proof of this: You can see that the OP in the Kiwifarms thread I just linked, “MoeAnguish”, includes text links to archived Lemmy posts (in the words “strong” and “dislike”), specifically, Lemmy posts that talk about Leni being a Kiwifarms user. The Kiwifarms thread was made less than a day after the Lemmy post that talks about her being a Kiwifarms member. Leni has also hidden links to her Kiwifarms posts in Lemmy comments as well. In the word “question” in the first one, and in the word “overrated” in the second comment. Those links go to Kiwifarms posts by “MoeAnguish”. Same writing style and opinions as well. Context of the Kiwifarms thread is about being recognised on other sites.

    In case the posts/comments get edited to remove the cross linking: (or if Kiwifarms is blocked in your country)

    To answer your question about why Kiwifarms is looked down upon, a couple paragraphs from Wikipedia is sufficient to understand why:

    Kiwi Farms, formerly known as CWCki Forums (/ˈkwɪki/ KWIH-kee), is a web forum that facilitates the discussion and harassment of online figures and communities. Their targets are often subject to organized group trolling and stalking, as well as doxing and real-life harassment.[3][4][5] Kiwi Farms has been tied to the suicides of three people who were victims of harassment by the website.[6][7][8]

    The site targets transgender people,[4][15] people with disabilities,[16][17] and those its users believe to be neurodivergent.[16][17][15] Targets of harassment are referred to on the forum as “lolcows”, named after the idea that they can be “milked for laughs”.[18] Tactics include publishing their victims’ personal information (“doxing”), trying to get them fired from their jobs, reporting crimes at their addresses in an attempt to have police dispatched to their homes (“swatting”), and harassing their family members and friends. Some of Kiwi Farms’ harassment campaigns have continued for months or years, and some aim to drive the targets to suicide.[4][19] Both the site’s owner Moon and the userbase of Kiwi Farms have been described as antisemitic, with Kiwi Farms users targeting a transgender Jewish convert with antisemitic abuse.[20][21]

    Discord’s purpose is for direct messaging friends and joining chat servers. The purpose of Kiwifarms is to spread hate. It was also responsible for the suicide of the Higan/BSNES emulator developer, Near/Byuu.

    Near stated that they and their friends had been doxxed and goaded into suicide by members of the website, and that Near had been mocked for being autistic
