I'm not a fan of Yarvin or anything, but I don't think a project is inherently bad because of a bad founder (who is no longer involved [0]). What makes you say that Urbit is for Nazis? From my research of the project, it seems independent of any ideology.

It was created with the goal of a few folks having control over larger parts of the ecosystem ("galaxies") which then give out control over "stars" and "planets" - a structure that is mentioned in the very article you linked - with the author constantly saying "it's NOT feudalistic, I really mean it!!" even though it very obviously is.

Given this, it's clear that the political ideology of the author is involved in the core structure of the project, whether one likes it or not.

Supposing that that is the case, what does that have to do with Nazis?
