The phrasing of the poster you're responding to does not discount the experience you're describing. I don't see how they could be more careful.

EDIT: "Fascism" and "right-wing authoritarian[ism]" are [not] synonymous
hagibborim | 5 years ago | on: Sourcehut blog condeming Trump and supporters
No. Fascists are authoritarians by definition, but the one-dimensional spectrum of "rightwing" and "leftwing" is not suitable for any treatment of fascism that is based in history.
"Fascism" and "right-wing authoritarian" are synonymous, and that loss of nuance is giving us blind spots

It is nonsensical to impute anything about a person's character from what shows up in their feed, a result of black-box algorithms. This feels like the beginning of a witchhunt.

Both are important here. When I was looking into it, the data was useless without the source code. The names are obfuscated and impossible to query without the application source plus the map of file names to document metadata.
I would be unable to mirror LibGen and Sci-Hub with what is currently available. I would be ECSTATIC to be proven wrong.

What can tech workers do to help this effort? Either through supporting this particular project or through other applications of their skills?
hagibborim | 5 years ago | on: Sci-Hub Founder Criticizes Sudden Twitter Ban over “Counterfeit” Content
How can Sci-Hub and LibGen be mirrored? When I last looked into it, it was closed source.

Very good point, and I didn't know that bit of slander against her.

I donated ~$300 to SciHub and encourage you all to donate as well. Please give what you can, her bitcoin address can be found at the bottom of the homepage.

This usage fits definitions a, b, and c. This very definition draws a distinction between a 'fallacy' and a 'logical fallacy'

It's not a logical fallacy, but it's still a fallacy.
