and in particular to the folks who are weaponizing this: a well and truly deserved fuck you, I can speak for myself as an Asian trans person, I do not need you to proactively cancel people for me, I can handle calling people in or out as I need.

the first trans woman sucks in a way that is motivated by the privileges she has. She can ignore certain issues, like publishers favoring white authors, because it doesnt affect her. To inflate this privilege, which she does have, in the face of the violence she just received...

Dear , Kiwi Farms has been stalking our sisters, brothers, and enby siblings for YEARS. Now that we as a community are finally standing up to it, you are sorely mistaken if you think #DropCloudflare will blow over after a week or two. Do right, #DropKiwifarms already.

1/ This past weekend my partner was attacked while riding the MTA in NYC. With his permission I am sharing screencaps of his story. Thanks to the heroic intervention of bystanders, Shuai did not sustain life threatening injuries. Nurses and doctors told us...

After being doxxed multiple times in London, Ontario, Clara left to go abroad to seek safety. Now, she’s been doxxed again — she says. Different country, yet the same result, this time with threats of violence from individuals.

A Kiwifarms user has identified my location in Ireland and threatened to show up at my address at 9 am tomorrow. I already found out their name and forwarded their information to the police. We need to get this website down. It encourages criminal behaviour.

threats + publicised location = potential for things to go south very quickly.

being wink wink nudge nudge and all cutesy about what you officially don't encourage people to do, does not mean you don't do it.

Replying to @keffals
Josh has added a new message to the top of your thread claiming Kiwifarms does not condone swatting. Here is an admin in the Telegram less than 3 hours ago saying they would personally get you swatted (Deleted Account is their display name, not the status of the account)

but any info that is posted to KF the website does wind up fanning out through this email server to email subscribers, or did once upon a time:

Replying to @lizthegrey and @cloudvps
When users on KF subscribe to a thread via e-mail, any new posts, including the post content, is also sent via this server. Or at least it used to be the case the last time I checked. I would assume this includes a lot of stuff probably illegal in NL.

it should terrify the shit out of you that Black and Latinx households are the ones most likely to own NFTs. Echoes of the sub-prime lending/alternative loans/etc. predatory financial shit, communities of colour are most likely to lose their shirts when it comes tumbling.

Only 2% of Americans have bought NFTs. About 50% have never heard of NFTs. pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2022

but also holy fuck do not immediately react to someone criticising your hero by brigading them (I made one mild criticism of using "cancer" or "blight" to refer to another trans person, and have had her stans in my mentions doing friendly fire for days). don't pedestal people.

Note: this does not mean that you should not criticise her, just... maybe recognize there is a time and place for calling in (or out), and in the middle of neo-Nazis trying to kill her is maaaybe not the best time? (we'll certainly be having Words about the dumpling thing later)

Keffals is a litmus test for leftists - If somebody don’t like her, you might as well just disregard them outright, because they’ll soon reveal themselves to be far more reactionary & fascist-enabling then they let on She makes their mask slip, they just can’t control themselves

but it actually looks like 50% of you feel like you could teach someone else about it, so... please go forth and have at least one conversation with someone about this some time this week, allies <3 and I'll spend time doing the explainer later when I'm less traumatised.
