Kiwi farms? You mean the website that harrasses people online, Swats people, and basically does shit that is illegal in the UK anyway?
Next you'll tell me child porn sites are suing the UK. Fuck the Online Safety Act, but yeah, they're not the people who should be suing the UK over this.
They don't swat people. Mass swatter Torswats (which turned out to be a team of a few people) tried to blame it on them for a little bit, but was ultimately caught.
This person also denies that Musk did a Nazi salute. They argue in bad faith and are not worth listening to.
I appreciate people like you. Makes finding people to block so much easier when all I have to do is scroll to verify instead of engage in a conversation then find out that they are not worth talking to half way through.
I use the user tagging feature of the Voyager client. Just press and hold on the username to add a tag. A lot of discussions around here start to make more sense that way.
Been on kiwi farms. There is no "we're swatting these guys" thread. And there is a very detailed and well-cited thread doxxing torswats and documenting and archiving the attempt to tie their actions to KF. You literally can just go read it. Please do. The Torswats/Alan Winston thread.
No amount of "uhhhhh they're untrustworthy and not all of them are left wing" is sufficient to beat the clear documentation. Because of his arrest, trial, and conviction, much of what is in the thread can also be verified by law enforcement sources. If you believe otherwise, you are a victim of internet misinformation.
And yes, I still call bullshit on the made-up musk Nazi salute from the same political machine that brought us "everyone making Nazi salutes at the Palestine protests is fine, actually" as well as "if you sit at a table with a Nazi, then you're a Nazi".

Very made up, that is, indeed.
