mmk, if anyone actually cares about this drama, this is everything I could piece together
Byuu has had a dedicated group of haters on 4chan's /emugen/ topic for a decent while. Sometime earlier these haters doxxed some of the people he was friends with using the Kiwi Farms as an outlet and convinced them that Byuu was to blame (or that he was at least sympathetic to the site, having admittedly owned up to his cringe-posting past). Now isolated from his online friendgroup, he had probably gotten fairly lonely, exasperating his already existing depression and mental illness. I'd guess he went to Moon with the offer to delete his thread as some kind of way to redeem himself to those around him, even if that desperate plan was never going to actually work.
To be honest, I don't know if he's still alive or not, as there isn't really enough evidence to conclude. I hope he is, but still. I can't really conclude what Twitter has, and don't think the Farms is to blame. Joshua handled that email to a decent degree, and I genuinely dare you to on the spot come up with a better response it. The real culprits behind this are, imo, are the /emugen/ a-logs and his shitty friendgroup. The Farms, in reality just by existing, was just an easy target to place the blame on (explaining why it was worth being upset over such an unremarkable thread).
As for the google doc, either that was published by himself posthumourously (or to help sell his supposed death) or was written by a sick opportunist. Theres no way thats real. I also doubt the conspiracy theory about fencing off the rare Nintendo game collection people donated to him is legit either because if he had $120k lying around in the bank I doubt the $40k at best of video games was worth faking his death over.
If you care about this (which, tbh, you probably shouldn't. Shit is depressing), best place to look is the source: his emails he sent to Joshua.
The reason nobody posted about it here is because it really doesn't effect us in any way. It's just pointless drama.
Reposting my take from plebbit:
