The author is well known for being an outspoken critic of crypto. She is speaking to the toxicity of cyber bullying, not criticism itself.

The author is incredibly critical of these technologies, and very much does not like them. The article mentions this.

I read wun0ne point as how blockchain implementations has a disastrous environmental impact. The article doesn’t mention that at all, and openly advocate for blockchain.

If you read any of her other posts it will be clear that she is a crypto critic. She also runs https://web3isgoinggreat.com/.

What are you referring to? Proof of work destroying our planet? Luckily it is no longer fundamental. See Avalanche consensus etc.
