Kiwifarms and it's owner are well known to be transphobic. They have a subforum specifically for making fun of transgender people.

Aside from what you mentioned in regards to the court case, there's plenty of other issue with kiwifarms as well: https://old.reddit.com/r/keffals/comments/1bkp9my/proof_kf_h...

You've posted that link at least six times here and I'm guessing it's you spamming it over on Substack. People have pointed out the problems they have with that source, repeatedly. I would reiterate that most of your examples of alleged malfeasance are from a decade ago and that none of what's been said is illegal in the United States. You can dislike Josh all you want but it does not make him deserving of tortious interference in his affairs.
Some of the examples are rather recent, and there's no evidence of the site's behavior changing. The point is that the site has allowed harassment, contrary to what the owner claims.

How have the complaints against him been tortious interference? As far as I am aware, they have been factual.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, he's allowed revenge porn (which is illegal in most of the usa) and hackers on his forum: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40396348

Revenge porn has gotten the forum dropped by some providers. One of the complaints Liz fong jones had about the forum was that her social security number was being shared on there: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/09/03/kiwifar... I think that has gotten kiwifarms dropped by other providers, since it apparently this came up in her leaked emails complaining about the forum.
