I don't mean to say that any of the problems with financial deplatforming are unique to NP2, and I'm not trying to make the perfect the enemy of the good, but I do believe that some of the problems with NP2 predated this whole debacle. As PPP and Jim said in the earlier part of their stream, NP2 may not be the only game in town, but options and limitations differ from client to client. If NP2 were to go down for some reason, or Dick became convinced it was too much of a hassle, the implications would be different for someone like Josh than it would be for Toad Mckinley. I'm not talking about any collusion theory or anything here. I'm talking about a broader discussion of mitigating deplatforming online. I think there's a really important conversation to be had here about how to move forward skillfully rather than just haphazardly putting out fires as they spring up.
Of course, I know this isn't really the time or place to discuss this kind of thing, particularly what with everyone sperging out. The thought just occurred to me while I watched Josh answer some of PPP's concern trolling questions in chat earlier.
