Why should anyone do this? It's way easier and more effective to put pressure on hosters, anti-DDOS services and the payment providers to get Nazis booted off the net, see e.g. Stormfront.

It is easier to apply pressure when a single provider has a quasi monopoly, which let's encrypt is quickly building up. And I am not suggesting these attacks are mutually exclusive.

Nobody is talking about Nazis. And all of those things are not easier, especially if the site is self-hosted. His point is that it’s one more gatekeeper and point of failure. It doesn’t matter that there are existing means to target websites. Adding another makes freedom even more fragile.

It’s very naive to assume that censorship is only a problem for Nazis that the world shouldn’t listen to anyway.
