100% agree. But since public shame and censure no longer work for limiting people's actions[1] that negatively affect others, what else do we have?

Worth noting that kiwifarms only negatively harms people who don't read it via the statoshistic terrorism mechanism.

Which would also apply to places like pre-Musk Twitter, reddit, tumblr and Facebook (and indeed every social media site), all of which have lead to targeted and sustained harassment of people, often for things they didn't actually do.
