Kiwi Farms has been associated with the death of a respected developer, Near. Their death followed a Twitter thread detailing bullying and harassment: “Kiwi Farms has made the harassment orders of magnitude worse. It’s escalated from attacking me for being autistic, to attacking and doxing my friends, and trying to suicide bait another, just to get a reaction from me. I lost one of my best friends to this. I feel responsible.”
