Not surprising. Kiwi Farms was a site about gathering and documenting all publicly available information on various people. Which might not be "stalking" in the strictest sense of the word, but it's something in the same ballpark. There's also the fact that, like many remnants of the Web 1.0. era, it was very much ideologically compromised. See their statement when they were down for the first time recently:
Starting off like this:
And continuing like this
You can't really claim to be a site just neutrally documenting internet drama and the people involved with it, and then go on a rant about how the transgender mafia is conspiring to recruit children and take over the internet. At that point "It is without agenda" just doesn't fly anymore. It's kind of a shame, because I generally think the freedom of the old internet is worth preserving, and some of Moon's statement about how the corporate centralization of the internet has been a devastating development for it mirror my own feelings but the truth of the matter is, KiwiFarms was an ideologically compromised site. If the flow of information on the internet wasn't as corrupted as it is, he wouldn't believe the things he does.
You can't make yourself out to be a bastion of freedom and then spread conspiracy theories about minorities.
