Other forums don't allow posting some kinds of information because they know allowing it means swatting.

And? That doesn't make those sites pro-swatting unless they had no other legitimate reasons to allow this content, and as much as people hate doxxing it is clearly not only useful for swatting or other illegal activities.

What other use has come from posting home addresses on Kiwi Farms?

Home addresses can be used to find lots of other public records associated with an individual.

Not that this example is relevant to this thread, but owning shell companies?

I agree it's not relevant to this thread. And how many shell company owners used their home addresses?

I've owned something similar to a shell company before and used my home address as required by local laws. Obviously some more nefarious actors would not but plenty of stupid criminals around.

You didn't answer the question. And people only care about shell companies when used to hide true ownership of something else.

I don't know the statistics of how many shell company owners use their home address nor do I know of any sources for such information.

Mostly a general skepticism towards clearly-opportunistic attempts to engage in composition fallacies.

No one actually believes this outside of brain-rotted partisan contexts. eg. The fact that I'm not donating all my money to combat malaria in developing nations does not make me pro-malaria.

Are you a system?

Is this forum a system?
Is ycombinator's failure to delete the posts of me and others in this thread also indicative of an intent to "use violence as a means of enforcing social order, by encouraging stochastic and opportunistic terrorism against trans people"?

Do you think your comments and this forum increase stochastic and opportunistic terrorism against trans people? Probably you don't think Kiwi Farms does either. But you chose a different argument.

I would be interested in knowing what percentage of the users of this website agree with that statement, I doubt it's particularly high.
