@jwz Glad to be able to build out my own stuff here.

@jwz
I like how they emphasize that they do not use blockchain on their website, because everybody reading this would consider this a red flag.

@jwz they even picked a stale, ex-hype to distance and take money from. could have at least gone with ai. smh.

@jwz giant migration to mastodon soon then?

@jwz Wait, you mean the billionaire-created corporate social media platform is on a journey to sucking as much as all the *other* billionaire's social media platforms? WHAT AN UNEXPECTED DEVELOPMENT!

@jwz Isn't... Isn't that logo basically Crypto Goatse?

Edit: I'm sure this was intentional. Look at the thumbs! If you're not trying to reference the original image, why point the thumbs down?

@jwz It’s reminding me of goatse. Why are they doing a logo based on goatse?

@jwz I don't have an emoji for Bluesky yet on my server...

It's going to be the goatse Emoji now

@jwz Nice goatse there too.

@jwz Wow, that happened much earlier than expected. Bad times if a cynic person like me turns out being too optimistic for this world.

@DroidPort

@jwz *what* expertise does Shah bring if there are no plans to tie crypto systems into the service?

@jwz all the hoopla over a ledger entry confirming you own something that doesn’t exist. Sell me a tulip.

@jwz

That didn’t take long 🤦

@jwz

So no “hyper” financialization, just regular old shitty financialization.

If anybody wants some actual context and not just a reaction.

@jwz I had forgotten about the wedding ring in goatse until I saw that image
