Is there an alternate form of reddit somewhere I missed? When was retardit a bastion of the alt right? Or did they misspell Voat?

I’d imagine they have a very incomplete knowledge of the facts because they do not support Trump and they conflate a bunch of things together which they then group, inaccurately, as alt-right. So, they are combining T_D and all of the now banned subs which have migrated over here in waves over the last 3 years.

Are you really surprised? It's a leftist propaganda piece, masquerading as a tech piece, of course it is inaccurate. Can't let truth get in the way of the narrative.

Ellen Pao: 'the creators of the internet all had the same world view, so we though it was OK to have free speech on the internet... Little did we know.'
Ellen Pao is totally a creator of the internet. Who is Aaron?

I stopped reading when I saw her opinion was treated as though it had merit.
The internet is not on the list of things she should be apologizing for in print.

Twitter served as his unprecedented direct-mail-style megaphone, Google helped pro-Trump forces target users most susceptible to crass Islamophobia, the digital clubhouses of Reddit and 4chan served as breeding grounds for the alt-right, and Facebook became the weapon of choice for Russian trolls and data-scrapers like Cambridge Analytica.
Those are the examples of how it went wrong. DRUMPF! ALT-RIGHT! MUH RUSSIAH!

This is a stupid article. I was expecting something along the lines of people saying they should have built anonymity in to the internet from the start. This was just someone blaming the internet for people not agreeing with their political views.

The fuck? The only name on that list with a shred of credibility is Lowtax. Ellen fucking Pao? Richard "I hate guns and I can't explain why because I'm too busy avoiding bathing" Stallman? Give me a break.

Stallman was the only one with any good points.

I'm eager to hear how he does this for Amazon. "Nope, not telling your my address. I paid cash for this Amazon card and I'm placing the order."
