This might seem to be a bit in-group or meta, but this is a report a guy wrote on his Patreon about a science fiction publisher’s forum being used to advocate for political violence.

I’d just like to say that these kinds of discussions could be happening *anywhere* there is a fandom and a forum. It could be sewing, beer brewing, gardening, motocross racing, you name it, it’s possible there’s a group of people on a forum for that group, encouraged by lax or non-existent moderation, and basically plotting to overthrow the government.

I don’t think I’m paranoid.

Back in June of 2019, Ravelry (a website for knitters, crocheters, and other fabric arts crafters) banned support for Trump and his administration from the site. The policy was recently updated to say that it’s still banned.
