I actually enjoyed reading this comment because it's one of the few, which made me think and weren't just attacks or labelling.
I disagree with “it's satire when I do it to you, but it's cancel culture”. Yes, this statement gets often used by people who try to victimize themselves, but I don't think it's the case here. I can't find the words right now to express reasoning right now, but I'll come back later and revisit this post.
> but I'd be very surprised if he wasn't fully aware that his domain is very popular with fascist trolls and used for quick and easy sockpuppet manufacture and has been for years
Yes! I would be surprised too, if there weren't users who are coming from the right wing, but imo cock.li is actually a bad choice if you intend to harass someone online: The major social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, Discord, Xenforo (customizable) and YouTube just straight up block all domains from cock.li from signing up because they have the same reputation as trash mails: They can be almost endlessly created without any major cost.
Besides that, the service also undeniably experienced abuse, like the bomb threat which was sent by some student to his school from madbomber@cock.li. But I think that's what happens when you mix young people (maybe social rejects?) + privacy. Same stuff as on 4chan.
Something else that made me wondering just at this moment: Reddit still does not require any kind of mail when signing up. This is quite surprising to me.
