Unrelated to who builds it, decentralized or self-hosted platforms have been the go-to place for lots of extremist groups, even before MAGA, so not sure what this comment is supposed to bring to light?
The vast majority don't even live in the US. I think I'm the closest to SV and I'm in Portland.
No, it's not.
> a lot of Silicon Valley hackers have worked on it
No, they haven't.
> well Portland is basically SV
No, it isn't. Just do your research and nobody will correct you.
EDIT: If you'd like, maybe you could clarify your "underlying point" or which "idealistic Silicon Valley hacker" traits you mean to highlight. Nazis have been trying to weaponize Scuttlebutt for years, so I don't get why it's "funny" that MAGA chuds are trying to join now. They aren't welcome.
