Yeah you're kinda doing exactly what he's writing about

If you want a project without politics, you talk about the great technicals of your project, not go on a long unhinged rant about how everyone else is clowns because of their politics

Also: "Omarchy is not just a distribution, but it's also a counterweight to all the nonsense that has plagued Linux for far too long. It's a refuge from the clowns and the circus that has been Linux politics since the old institutions got infiltrated." (https://bsky.app/profile/steveklabnik.com/post/3mtrdmfttak2s)

I feel like ironically their whole thing is doing exactly that, except in the other direction…

Personally I would prefer no violence from either side…

The state monopoly on violence (+ a judicial system) tends to result in a low amount of violence... at least intra-state. Wars are another matter. Notably, there is no monopoly on violence between states. States are allowed and somewhat expected to be violent psychopaths externally.

Internally as well, given what happens to any push back against law enforcement where I live- in the US, at least, if you try to defend yourself against state violence you'll be summarily executed in the street.

That is about to change very, very soon though: https://dholms.leaflet.pub

Rudy from Blacksky set up their own copy of Tangled without Tangled guys even knowing about it, so it would look to me like it is self-hostable: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:w4xbfzo7kqfes5zb7r6qv3rw/po...

The link leads to a blog post saying how they mercifully unblocked the users in Iran, but that was some time after they first suddenly blocked those users without any recourse and any way to even download their data and private repositories hosted there, without any advance warning…

I don't think there's a good reason to call the creators of Tangled "libertarian dickheads", tbh.

I don't think they fall under DMA at this size yet?
