After Swatting, Marjorie Taylor Greene Joins Keffals In Call For Shut Down Of Kiwi Farms, Creating Bizarre, Inadvertent Alliance Between Trans Activists And MTG

Lolcow gossip site Kiwi Farms may be on the verge of shutting down after recent high-profile swattings on prominent trans streamer Keffals and conservative Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.

In recent days, the site has seen frequent outages and slow load times while Keffals and others continue to pressure Cloudflare to stop providing Kiwi Farms DDoS protection. Late Tuesday night, Greene was then swatted in an incident of her own.

Early this afternoon, Keffals reported that Kiwi Farms owner Joshua Moon alerted users that he was having trouble fixing the site's poor performance in recent days because its service providers would not respond to his emails, though he claimed it was unrelated to DDoS attacks.

Though Keffals and Greene could not be more polar opposites of each other, the one thing they do have in common is that they've both blamed their swattings on Kiwi Farms.

In Keffals' case, she has long been a target from users of the site, and while it is unclear if Kiwi Farms users were behind her August 5th swatting, a later doxxing of her Toronto hotel appears to have been discussed by Kiwi Farms users.

In Greene's case, the suspect in her swatting case said they swatted Greene because of her opposition to transgender rights, according to a police report. The suspect also said were a Kiwi Farms user and provided police with a username — that of an admin who historically has not been friendly to transgender people, suggesting the suspect could be lying and even claiming association with the site to cause it problems.

Though Greene conceded police were still investigating the suspect's connection to Kiwi Farms, she nevertheless went on television and complained about the site's existence, apparently believing it to be a hub for militant trans activists.

"Isn't it concerning that such a website exists?," Greene said. "Like, why does that even exist? That website needs to be taken down. There should be no business or any kind of service where you can target your enemy. That's absolutely absurd and this is the type of lawlessness that Democrats want all over the country" (clip starts around 7:45 in the below video tweeted by Greene).

The irony of Greene inadvertently siding with the online trans community about Kiwi Farms was not lost on onlookers familiar with both stories. At any rate, there are reports now that Kiwi Farms users in other channels are now worried that the Greene swatting getting blamed on them may hasten the site's demise.
