>Has he had a lot of people going after him for it?
Occasionally on twitter, but that’s a given. I don’t keep up with derpi much but I have seen him get R0’d once or twice and the replies to his comment mention it in some form. On 4chan I’ve noticed an increasing amount of blame being pushed toward him and the anti-censorship side as a whole over the last year. Whether that’s from actual anons or twitter/derpi users is debatable, but so are a lot of posts ever since 2020 anyway.
>Some mods leaned that way. Most though I think them caught in panic and or folding under pressure would be a better way to describe what happened with the site’s direction as a whole.
Maybe, but fact is they did start banning content more than a couple mods made very clear they did not care for, almost immediately after the article came out. Maybe some mods were opposed to it, maybe some reluctantly agreed to go along with it. Some even said as much. But there’s little evidence to prove it beyond whatever was in the chat leaks.
