1) William Gillis 🏴 (npub1syh…9vf5) has pointed out in a bunch of places that the influence of primitivst and anti-civ anarchism meant that the internet was derided in the 90s and 00s
2) there's also the fact that the people who were into tech didn't do much outreach. ive met anarchist hackers involved in green activism who had to hide their interest back in the day
