      What’s up with all the pedo instances? Why are they creating instances in an open web? Are they dumb or something? It sounds to me that just registering the domain names of some of those could be considered a crime, nevermind openly inviting and hosting CSAM.

        Here’s the beginning of the Wikipedia article:

        Kiwi Farms, formerly known as CWCki Forums, is a web forum that facilitates the discussion and harassment of online figures and communities. Their targets are often subject to organized group trolling and stalking, as well as doxxing and real-life harassment.

        So, it’s an assholefarm.

        Although the name originated with one particular site, it looks like the name now applies to any site that serves a similar purpose. Bleah.

        Agreed! I’m really appreciative of folks putting this kind of work into Lemmy.

        “Minor attracted person” the whitewashed version of the word pedophile.
