> an anti-trans doxxing forum

That is reductive. Kiwifarms is a shit hole for sure, but it has more than just anti-trans doxxing. It's like classifying 4Chan based on /b/



It’s unclear how you meant this, but it reads as

> Sure, the Klan has some bad hombres, but we also run Checkers Tuesdays, maths tutoring for underprivileged youths Friday mornings, and Bible study Sundays.

That is, at some point, the bad overwhelms any good.


And sometimes the good is used to spread the bad, or the whole. Cults sometimes recruit like this, abusive people can be nice at first, narcissistic traited particularly, violent fringe groups offer camaraderie, yakuza doing charity and relief supplies. So I agree 100% that it really matters where the good is coming from.


>That is reductive

I agree, Kiwifarms is much more shitty than that. To quote from Wikipedia "It now hosts threads targeting many individuals, including minorities, women, LGBT people, neurodivergent people, people considered by Kiwi Farms users to be mentally ill or sexually deviant, feminists, journalists, Internet celebrities, and video game or comics hobbyists."


Do you see the irony in quoting Wikipedia's view of a site to show that Wikipedia's stance on not linking that site is OK, in a discussion about how Wikipedia is censored? Have you actually looked for yourself instead of just trusting the propaganda?
