The worst part about the whole scenario is that KiwiFarms will likely be able to survive for as long as the owner remains close friends with CloudFlare's higher-ups since well, we all know that one CDN has essentially half the entire internet under its name somewhere along the lines. (Also, fuck, I remember that with Rachel Bryk - haven't heard that name in a long time, but damn that brings back some memories.) Jul 10th They offered their entire life savings to get the thread taken down I believe. Trying to remain 'neutral' enables the oppressors. There is no neutral position on this matter. I also want to reiterate that we at the melonDS team stand with our fellow emudevs, and against all practices of discrimination and harassment like those that have led to the deaths of too many of our fellows already. The amount of time and effort they poured into this is well over what I can hope to do, so I can only commend the dedication they have showed. These domains are important to me, thus I've always had great respect for Near's work. Their work on emulation and preservation has been astounding. While the consequences leading to this sort of event can be complex, the role bullying and harassment have played into this is clear. Our fellow emudev Near committed suicide. This is not the kind of thing we can ignore. A list of international suicide hotlines can be found here.Well, today I was going to work on DMA timings (besides, the notes in the previous post aren't quite right, go figure), but I learnt about what just happened and decided I would write this post instead.

Kiwi Farms is an American Internet Forum focused on trolling, harassing, and doxing people they deem to be “lolcows,” or people that can be milked for laughs. I never deserved any of this.” Joshua Moon is the owner of Kiwi Farms. That’s on every last person who pushed me to this point and didn’t let up. “I would have kept going if Joshua Moon had shown me just the tiniest bit of compassion,” Near tweets shortly before their death. The escalating harassment experienced by Near, particularly by Kiwi Farms, led to their death. Based on the account (TW: suicide, self-harm), as well as on Near’s Twitter account, they have experienced harassment from the internet – ranging from bullying to doxing. “I have spoken to the police department in charge of the investigation,” Martin tweets, “and they have confirmed that Near passed away yesterday, June 27th 2021.” Hector Martin, a friend of Near, tweeted a Google Doc detailing the events leading up to the untimely death. Near, the creator of SNES emulators bsnes and higan, has died.
