The comparison here is clever, certainly. But the scope matters: KF relentlessly attacks individuals, to the point of suicide. The anti-KF campaign only seeks to take KF offline by making it too expensive for hosting providers.

Nobody is trying to SWAT the guy behind KF. It is a huge, consequential difference.

>KF relentlessly attacks individuals

This is just untrue for the most part. Some users of KF have harassed some people, sure. But the point of the forum has never been that. I will however concede that the nature of the forum tends to attract such people.

Now this I find doubtful considering everything else in this post. If anything the point has been exactly that with the exception of provably illegal things

I stumbled across the kiwifarms matrix server about a year ago and I have to say that if the content I saw where was any indication you're dead wrong.

The people who participated there were scum, absolute scum. I saw nothing redeemable about anything kiwifarms did.

He has already been swatted multiple times. In the past trans activists have shown up at his house with weapons, looking for him. Keffals doxed his mom on Twitter a few days ago, posting her full face photo and calling for her firing while lying about her links (there are none) to her son's website:
