Fascists aren't exactly known for thinking outside of the box, but rather for throwing their very large resources [0] at established methods (eg. militias and propaganda).
Three examples from the tech world of the last two decades:
- indymedia.org has arguably been a serious inspiration for the fachosphere (although they dropped the bottom-up part) in gathering information from many places/topics
- raddle.me newsboard was developed by anarchists but the codebase ended up used by fascists
- Trump's TruthSocial is just a rebranded Mastodon, although they tried to conceal that fact in the initial stages
[0] Fascists of all stripes are famously very well-funded and supported by the industry. This is the case today (Trump, Bolsonaro, Zemmour, Le Pen..) and was the case historically, as portrayed in the "Fascism Inc" documentary: https://youtube.com/watch?v=-L5Xlgc8S2Q
