That was unequivocally not a publicly known reason. There were thousands upon thousands of “lolcows” documented in kiwifarms and the sites culture strongly emphasized not “disturbing the grazing lolcows” or “taking things IRL.” That much was obvious for me as somebody who only visited the site a few times a year out of curiosity.
That may be obvious to you. Have you tried asking some of the people documented there what they think about the site's culture, and how well it discourages harassment against them?
I’ve been on the internet long enough to know what harassment is, and I went on Kiwi Farms enough to know the site culture. There will always be people laughing at other people on the internet and I would prefer it stays that way.
