i gotta say that i really expected kf to last many, many years longer than it did and that upon it's eventual demise it's refugees would just repeat the cycle and ascend to whatever new blipvert internet platform would exist at that point and find ways of continuing their utter nastiness into their thirties and forties by dousing it in pure ideology

It's not dead, it's just out of Nulls hands now. He literally thought he was going to be murdered over the last couple years and made contingencies just in case.
it is immensely stupid that someone would take up null's mantle after he got thoroughly made an example of. it is also immensely dumb that someone would spend real time and money to do so knowing that the crazy counter-stalker is out there waiting for them if they succeed, along with god knows what other consequences of the site's dumbshittery.

Null had the disadvantage of already having his real identity known and also living with his mom, the insane dude wasn't some sort of CSI level cyber detective. Someone who knows how to hide their tracks/doesn't have a social media presence could run it no problem.
sure but will anyone like that want to when the whole endeavor is risky and expensive and a giant time sink even to someone with all the time in the world

1. If you are going to try and go after people on the internet that are actual irl rapists, pedophiles or zoophiles you should be collecting their information and keeping track of them IN PRIVATE with the end goal of submitting that information to the relevant authorities. You do it in the open, they're gonna see you doing it and go into hiding. You're also going to need to (gasp!) TALK to people and not everyone, especially those who tend to have the most dirt, are going to want to talk in the open.

2. If the authorities prove unwilling or unable to pursue the case, then either give up because you are not going to find better evidence, or if your evidence is solid enough attempt to take your case to the local press.

3. Failing 1 and 2, public campaigns and harassment campaigns are an ABSOLUTE LAST RESORT and should be undertaken with the full knowledge of and preparation for whatever blowback you might face.

If you're going to be a shithead to someone in an organized way, make sure that if everything goes straight to hell you can at least in theory sell the idea that they had it coming to your boss, your family, and the rest of society. Kiwi Farms served absolutely no purpose other than as a "safe space" for internet shitheads to feel good about being internet shitheads and like all internet "safe spaces" that safety was both an illusion and a prison.
