Something like that yeah, but kiwifarms had accrued a lot of enemies by that point. They hosted dox, and a lot of gay ops came from over there etc. The fedposting was probably just an excuse to go after them imo.

We're a comfy instance, still dark fedi and going up in the rankings for defederations but we don't really do much past shitpost and laugh at dumb things. I doubt anything would gain much momentum against us, and even if it did we could just move servers and they'd have to start their little crusade all over again. The less we give a shit, the quicker they'll get bored and pick a new target.
