Jack Dorsey, the co-founder of Twitter, now known as X, has reportedly inadvertently funded a developer with ties to a Brazilian fascist through his $10 million donation to the decentralized social-media protocol Nostr.

    Parra’s political views, shaped by the laissez-faire Austrian school of economics and his parents’ negative experiences with government regulation in Brazil, led him to create a decentralized protocol as an alternative to Twitter’s increasing censorship. Despite acknowledging the potential for Nostr to attract hate speech due to its decentralized nature, Parra believes that such users are necessary.

    It’s interesting to see how they attribute this. The benzinga article says fiatjaf is a fascist because he follows a fascist.

    The business insider article seems to imply Olavo de Carvalho is a fascist because he’s a RW conspiracy theorist. They link to NY Times and I also checked Wikipedia and I saw no claims that he is a fascist so I have to assume this is the tenuous link (and also basically makes Alex Jones a fascist).

    By transitive property I guess the next article on Jack Dorsey will label him a fascist for his donation to fiatjaf.
