I don't know if the article writer is deliberately ignoring the differences between flavors of nihilism or whether the writer just doesn't know that there are different sorts of nihilism.
Anyway, the writer professes that s/he is nice to others because s/he wants others to be nice to him/her. That's fairly social contract-y of him/her. And that sort of thing is exactly what nihilists are against.
Author seems to be a secular humanist rather than a nihilist.
