On their last social post, near made the point that, as of late, Kiwi Farms had upped the ante:
{{q|The honest truth is, I've been bullied, ridiculed, and humiliated my entire life. From my earliest grade school memories to now. It's always hurt me deeply enough that I can't describe it in words. I could only just tolerate it with heavy depression when it was [[4chan]].

But Kiwi Farms has made the harassment orders of magnitude worse. It's escalated from attacking me for being [[W:Autistic|autistic]], to attacking and [[W:Doxing|doxing]] my friends, and trying to suicide bait another, just to get a reaction from me. I lost one of my best friends to this. I feel responsible

I can't handle this anymore. I have tried everything. I have taken every medication available. I have tried multiple therapists. I have tried closing myself off from the world. It doesn't help at all. Every night I am filled with panic attacks and dread and worry (...).<ref>[https://twitter.com/near_koukai/status/1408986839743037448 ''But Kiwi Farms has made the harassment orders of magnitude worse.''] post on Twitter.
