It’s too late for me, but I pray that someone, at some point, will do something about that website. I have no real-life friends, I have no other reason for being. Near felt responsible and could not cope. KF specifically targeted a friend who had demonstrated suicidal ideation. Whilst they sought support and had some success with it, the good work was undone when KF escalated their attacks to include their friends and family. Near was autistic and non binary and was attacked for their identity. They had developed “the single most accurate emulator” for Nintendo. Near (otherwise known as Byuu) was widely respected according to the news reports. If they have, that is, the site might be down for an unrelated reason*. Could it be that Cloudflare can no longer justify protecting the nazi styled criminal activities of what is essentially a death cult? Pity it took for someone who was well liked and admired for their contribution to tech for Cloudflare to sit up and take notice. KF were gloating about it but as of 17.15 GMT I can report the site appears to be down, with an error message from Cloudflare. There has been a surge of clicks to this site, and following it back, with assistance from one of our group, we discovered that a well known programmer took their own life following many years of harassment and targeted stalking. The Kiwi Farms is a proud supporter of the State of Israel and the Jewish people.It has been a while since I’ve posted anything related to Kiwi Farms but sadly, it would appear they pressured another one of their victims to suicide. If he was going to have to abandon the 'Byuu' persona and disappear anyways, why not pull this stunt?īc1qvghgzdewy7tar78uy29ypqjwaur3ueecknln69 His intentions are clear, but nothing else about this story is. In the 8 years we've been around, Byuu is the first person to name the Kiwi Farms as a cause of suicide, despite claiming not even a year ago he had no issues with his forum thread. It's Internet nerds gossiping about their favorite e-celebs. It's not a Jigsaw-esque torture chamber to teach people the value of life. The site does not exist to punish people. Two days later, we still do not have this passport scan or any evidence he has killed himself besides the testimony of a Twitter user, citing an anoynmous third party. In his emails to me, he promised a trusted friend would deliver a scan of his passport on Twitter within 5 hours of him killing himself as proof. He did not wait even 24 hours after his first email before closing communications and deciding to go through with his plan at 3am my time. I told him I would have to consult an attorney regardless. He also offered me his services helping write software for the Kiwi Farms. I saw this as a legally and morally dubious offer at best, entrapment at worst, so I declined. Byuu claimed that if I did not delete all information about him on the forum, he would kill himself and blame me. He is completely anonymous and even now it is not possible to do a wellness check on him.īyuu emailed me before posting his tweet chain. Even after years, nobody knows his last name. There is a claim that Byuu was 'doxed', then harassed in real life. He made a post on his forum (which has since been deleted) accusing a rival emulator developer named Squarepusher from Retroarch of doing the same. It does not pass any level of scrutiny and is not told in a way that makes sense.īyuu has a history of accusing people of stalking and harassing him. Consider that this person is supposedly an real life friend of Byuu (when Byuu also claims he had no real life friends), and consider that he did nothing for half an hour, but could remember the call well enough to describe an obscure French metal song playing in the background. The last call with Byuu described in the accusation does not make sense. The person claiming to know he has died refuses to elaborate or provide evidence. The document claims that Byuu took his own life. Last year, Byuu said in this thread directly that he was not affected by the thread in any way. 13 pages on the Kiwi Farms is an extremely small amount of discussion, especially for a thread as old as Byuu's. You can read the thread in archives here. No evidence of this harassment exists.īyuu had a 13 page thread on the forum. If you're a regular, I promise the site will be back up this week, probably sooner rather than later.Ī Twitter user published a Google Doc explicitly blaming the Kiwi Farms for harassing Byuu. Since I can define this error page, I will use it to relay some information. You may be looking for information on Byuu / Near. While the Kiwi Farms and everything on it is legal, DoS attacks are a federal crime. Someone is currently paying money to DoS attack the forum.
