Not sure what your views on Destiny are, but he has a very excellent write-up on KiwiFarms specifically. It's from when Keffals weaponized the masses against them.

You don't have to like them, 4chan doesn't, but both of them just won for everyone worldwide by proving OFCOM has no right to police others outside their own country.

Awful people exist everywhere regardless of a site documenting what people willingly post. Because this allows others to see past the facade they get a lot of hate and unproven claims believed true. People prefer easy, which is fine, and don't typically verify leading to it being exploited by awful people.

> Not a single journalist seemed willing to do any homework beyond copying the work of other journalists before them. In the end, the “three suicides” caused by Kiwi Farms ended up being two misrepresentations and one uncomfirmed case.

I liked the idea of Gab when it came out but it ended up (last time I checked) being an unedifying cesspit.
