    damn no direct callout for hexbear or chapo.chat, even in the article source. A fun gigachad-hd moment for comrades Dessalines/Nutomic tho (from the linked atlantic article about where the terf subreddits went):

    The team thought about using the open-source software behind Saidit, a popular Reddit alternative that hosts many banned Reddit communities—including the QAnon subreddit r/Pedogate and the snuff-film subreddit r/WatchPeopleDie—but it wasn’t secure enough.** (The group was worried about cyber attacks.) Another platform, Raddle, didn’t offer moderation tools, which would be important if outsiders ever came to Ovarit to cause trouble. They thought about Lemmy, a federated alternative to Reddit, which hosts the also-banned Reddit community dedicated to the popular left-wing podcast Chapo Trap House. Fain says that didn’t work out because the developers of Lemmy are “actively anti-feminist,” while the developers told me their code of conduct “contains a section against anti-trans bigotry, [which] means we wouldn’t help them in any way.”

      alternate timeline where ziq doesnt need to use 5 bazillion sock puppets to fake engagement in the site because loads of TERFs use it
