Beff Jezos, founder of the e/acc movement, clarified that it is the original anti-doomer movement, four years strong, not a crypto movement, and the ancestor of techno-optimism. He warned that repeated attempts to form splinter groups are ploys by "dark triad" types seeking personal clout, and that fracturing the movement only benefits the Doomers.
