Besides mod logs, is there a better way for the Fediverse to keep track of malicious actors, such as Kiwi farms members, Nazi apologists, and genocide deniers? (lemmings.world)

Kiwi farms?

[-] [email protected] 42 points 2 weeks ago

Kiwi Farms, is a web forum that facilitates the discussion and harassment of online figures and communities. Their targets are often subject to organized group trolling and stalking, as well as doxing and real-life harassment. Kiwi Farms has been tied to the suicides of three people who were victims of harassment by the website.

From urban dictionary:

A website full of cynics who yearn for the approval of those around them, and anonymously harrass people online for not conforming to their community's beliefs, which they themselves have religiously adopted.

"Boy ol' gosh golly, I sure do love going onto Kiwi Farms and laughing at autists and liberals!"
