if there's was ever any mention of identity politics in jiggawatts' comment it has now been removed.

I think reflexco meant this as a joke….
No, this is what identity politics is, reducing technical matters to which camp you're in ("your post gives me crypto vibes, scam!!"). Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this doesn't belong on HN.
No. Broad technical camps are not identity politics, and they're a necessary simplification for making judgements about the massive amount of technical novelty being produced today. I am not going to investigate each crypto scam presented to me for all of its technical details; there are too many of them. It's enough to know it's cryptocurrency-adjacent, and therefore, probably a scam.
Honestly pretty funny that you are so critical of identity politics yet so uninformed about what that term actually means
