This reminds me of when Rossman was accused of transphobia and other prejudices because he created a KF account solely to respond to things said about him in his own dedicated thread on that site, without posting anywhere else. Pure guilt-by-association tactics.

DeVault apparently considers anything short of complete deplatforming (even spirited debate) as a form of sympathizing, and probably would regard even Robin Hanson (who debated Yarvin) as a kind of cryptofascist--which is funny, since the only effective push-back Yarvin ever gets is from conservatives, who (besides preaching to the same choir), still preferring debate to deplatforming, haven't suffered the atrophy of their rhetorical muscles that afflicts progressives[1]. Meanwhile the man hysterically paranoid about creeping fascism and fascist sympathizing is himself a well-documented lolicon addict[2].

It is cute, however, that he thinks it's still 2015 and not 2025, and that he can write pro-censorship, pearl-clutchy stuff like this:

> and Odysee, the latter a platform controversial for its role in spreading hate speech and misinformation.

and still be taken seriously.

It's always amusing to see takes like

    perpetuating the self-serving myth that “open source” software can privilege one party over anyone else and still be called open source.

from someone who is absolutely okay with doing exactly that, if those "anyone else" are being labelled the morally-justifying label.

The championing of a supposed openness, together with a radical culture of denouncing people with opinions not more extrem then the average American as fascists, is just so bizarre.

Here in Germany a similar anti-fascist hacker culture exists, but those people do not pretend that they want any kind of culture of openness, which would extend beyond their political lines.
