  • Leni's still around. I see Leni is banned from your instance, dbzer0, so you can't see Leni's posts as posts from banned users don't federate to remote instances they are banned from. Kiwifarms is an infamous site that was made for harassing, doxing and stalking of online figures, particularly those who are LGBT, neurodivergent, or disabled. The site has been linked to three suicides and the owner of the site, Joshua Moon, is apathetic to this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms

    Kiwifarms is blocked here in the UK, which is why I had to use TOR browser to get the screenshots. When I try and access it normally, I get this:

    Apparently when you sign up, there's a disclaimer that contains slurs, so users sign up knowing full well what the aim of the site is and have to click a box agreeing with the disclaimer before they can join the site.

    Other countries besides the UK have also blocked Kiwifarms: https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/350498096/infamous-kiwifarms-website-blocked-by-cyber-security-firm-over-escalating-threats the owner of the site, Joshua Moon, refused to remove the 2019 Christchurch terror attack footage that was posted there. When contacted by police, Moon "responded in an aggressive and mocking way, calling Aotearoa a "shithole country" with "f****t law". "

  • Didn't catch that. I've edited my post to include that.

  • Don't think I've felt this sad about a tree. Had been there hundreds of years before these blokes were born, it's good they're on trial at least.

    edit correction 150 year old tree, could've sworn it was older, but my point stands.

  • And to think people still defend this muppet

  • That's funny, I deleted my Reddit account after I'd gotten sick of it.

  • And there are still people who say things like "he did those things decades ago so why keep bringing it up?"

  • Awful story. Poor woman

  • If this happened in broad daylight and they can't find her it's not looking good unfortunately. Still hoping for a good ending to this story. Poor girl

  • TIL there are Elon apologists on Lemmy.

  • And here I thought Lemmy was too small to have prominent trolls. Thanks for the head's up.

  • Pretty much, yes. Whenever an article pops up on my MSN news feed about that program I go straight to the comments and the people commenting parrot off the same sort of talking points the program is against. I'm almost certain they've never actually watched it.
