@ryo Some other fedi user mentioned it earlier, but it's really embarrassing that LibLeft Unix trannies are hosting shit on their own self hosted sites while many of the AuthRight and LibRight folks (the ones who actually get deplatformed by big tech) are using inferior, centralized (or fake decentralized) platforms that are cuckflared, hosted on AWS, and/or are relying on APIs from Big Tech like ReCaptcha or Google Analytics. And these freeze-peach platforms just end up cucking out eventually.

@xianc78 @ryo My read is that the right leaning folks only take up tech matters out of necessity (from being banned constantly) rather than from an innate interest in tech. The UNIX trannies, with their hilariously typically hyper-masculine brains, of course have spent years tinkering in software so none of this is surprising to me.

@wrongthink @ryo Well the hacker community has always been pretty left-leaning and the FOSS movement has only solidified that (even though FOSS is also compatible with free-market principles). Even though there are companies who made profit out of it, the FOSS movement is still largely grassroots and grassroots activism is what LibLeft ideologies are supposed to be about, even though many people who claim to be anarcho-communist (or similar) these days tend to suck more government and corpo cock than anyone else.

@xianc78 @wrongthink LibLeft and LibRight should be compatible with one other only if both sides had a more spread out age group.
I'm sure both sides would benefit from each other.
It's not like AuthLeft and AuthRight that not only are inherently incompatible with one other, the gap between these 2 keeps on growing and growing every single day.

@ryo @wrongthink Ancoms (and other left-libertarians) are free to use property to start communes under an ancap society but when I tried to explain this to them, they always tell me that their ideology needs to be a global thing, but I've met some left-libertarians who are more open to the idea of a libertarian unity.

@ryo @xianc78 I would expect AuthX to naturally gravitate toward centralized proprietary things while LibX naturally to decentralized libre things. And, since with centralized crap only one group can truly hold the ring of power™, we’re just seeing the fallout from auth right not being able to wrestle control away from auth left.

@xianc78 @wrongthink @ryo There's some exceptions. Weev either is one, or he's some CIA triple-agent planted there to discredit the far-right depending on who you ask.

What I do know is that he did straight up say that glowies (especially the ones hiding behind leftism) aren't your friends if you're a hacker or similar type.

On one hand Weev was given a free pass for a long period of time, but on the other hand he starfucked a lot of people. No really. The minute Weevs ties with the stormer were really thrown into the limelight with CVille, suddenly knowing him was no longer something one could just write off.

Three examples of people who knew Weev aside from Jackie Stokes were Shanley Kane, Quinn Norton, and Sarah Jeong. All three were journalists or would become journalists and had leftist political views later on.

There just aren't a lot of them because like I said, demographics. A lot of the Fox News right were boomers, hence the nickname one site had for them: "boomercons". Now a lot of it is trying to conform to the cultural orthodoxy of the mainstream walled garden internet.
