There will be hundreds of posts on a fringe website claiming the opposite, causing an AI tool to shrug its shoulders and produce an outcome suggesting impropriety where there is none.
Needless to say, this is not great and I'm determined to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else.

These tools have no limitations on "use up to 100 data points from this one website", they treat all the 1000s of correlated data points as independent and give them heavy weight and credence as a majority of the information available rather than a fringe minority that is shrill and repeats itself.

To my friends:
After nearly two exhausting years of litigation, I have agreed to settle the defamation claim I brought against Vincent Zhen and Flow Chemical in the Supreme Court of Victoria. I will be able to share more when all the documents have been signed and exchanged.
This is a good thing.

This is because Bluesky's Moderation team is very good at banning the accounts. When banned they drop off the list. -ACL

But yeah, KF is abbreviation for Kiwifarms, Kiwifarmer, etc. Takes less characters. -ACL

Just block them, and if you'd like to be helpful, privately report to your local labeller or blocklist operator (using the reporting or DM functionality) if they're not already appropriately tagged. -LF

We saw the profile update go live in our monitoring at 12:45pm Pacific & internect found it at :47; moderately confident it's a false flag by the same party that was creating the 3... accounts with 7 characters in name previously that said "you are being watched" or "like = you're on the list". -LF

We've now seen our first one, but believe they started using the OF name in response to @skysentry.bsky.social's thread rather than because it was happening before. Username is 3qhaghg similar to other accounts starting with 3... that were KF branded before. DID: did:plc:cgdonyyvdutfshmnnbeti2js -LF

You can always use the API or browser devtools to look at the list of returned accounts that come back via the REST API, but yeah, it's not great that blocklist contents are harder to audit and inspect for the moment. -LF

It chokes as soon as it encounters the first suspended account in the list, from most recently added to least, and then fails to show any further accounts. I know, it's painful and sucks! -LF

Obviously we'd rather there not be bugs, but we can see the silver lining that it's happening frequently because it means the reports we're filing are being actioned, and quickly! -LF

Yes, it's partially suspended but not deleted yet accounts. -LF bsky.app/profile/endh...

Meanwhile, we believe the attack continues under the previous pattern, obviously referencing KF. see for instance recent addition to our blocklist: did:plc:rb3lo3robspgbb7u44rteaip

Oh, sorry! Yup, will update advice if we put out a further honeypot. -LF

(wva..pu6 is the account you had posted the screenshot of, and we believe it to be a parody account mocking onionfarms claiming all-genders welcome)
If you are happening to see a wave of OF profiles being created, please let us know the DIDs so that we can fix the bug in our monitoring scripts! -LF

With respect, we do not appear to see a wave of OF account profile creations/changes; did:plc:wvapc4ldgjh24paaotnvtpu6 is now suspended. our profile changelog says other than the pre-existing @/onionfarms.bsky.social account there are no accounts on the site named onionfarms or being created. -LF

This is a test/honeypot, do not interact with it unless you are from kiwifarms.
We are incredibly trans and incredibly gay and incredibly proud.

Kiwi Farms. A networked harassment site. -LF

The list shows empty sometimes when an account has been soft-suspended (but not yet removed/deleted) by bsky and thus its profile information cannot be displayed. It is indeed a bug. -LF

Thanks, the former was suspended already, the latter we just added. -LF

In this context, it's a bot account whose display name or banner has the name of a particular networked harassment site whose initials are K.F. in it, causing people who see the account to potentially believe the site is personally watching or targeting them for further harassment. -LF
comment in response to
post
It's natural to feel afraid or worried from such an interaction. If you are, process those feelings with a friend or trusted person in private, rather than in public view where your misery can become grist for someone's sadistic pleasure or, worse, an excuse to further harass and abuse you. -LF

We've compiled a blocklist in case you'd rather not see them at all*. But you don't need to use the blocklist to be safe (if they wanted to screenshot you, they could anyway). Ignoring them denies them attention and they'll get bored. -LF
*a few may slip through between creation/detection/listing

Either: it's just a bot trying to jumpscare you, or you've already been screenshotted/archived. The correct action is the same for both: block and move on. You may be tempted to lock down and delete your profile, but if you do they're likely to take the clawback as an indication to push further. -LF

The best way to not end up on their radar is to deny them the satisfaction of them knowing that you've noticed them, or that their automated bot is making you feel unsafe. It has liked 100s of posts in an hour; they can't & won't focus on you specifically unless you tell them the attack worked. -ACL

Now this doesn't apply to everyone they target, unfortunately. It is sadly true that for some folks, they can ignore KF and "keep their heads down" all they want and KF will still go after them just as doggedly, if not more so. But those folks have a higher risk of being targeted to begin with. -ACL

They're also not as good at what they do as they would like you to think. The vast majority are lazy. They ARE dangerous, but they are opportunistic. The best thing you can do is to not publicly freak out or react if a KF account likes your tweets, follows you, or DMs you. Block them, move on. -ACL
comment in response to

Our blocklist is a list of folks affiliated with KF or using their shibboleths in connection with harassment. While I sympathize deeply with what you're saying, after speaking to her we determined having her on the list would be inaccurate and inappropriate as she is not affiliated with KF. -ACL

Not if you only want to follow and like but not post. That's the loophole that means they can supply non-existent email addresses and still jumpscare people. -LF

It's an impersonator (you can tell by account age / having made 0 posts). They rename to an existing account and reskin once caught. -LF
