America Should Out-Open China
Open networks won us the internet. Losing sight of that now would be a mistake.

I think they are literally thinking along the lines of "i don't like crypto; ergo the risks that apply to the crypto sector do not apply to me"

If people started using crypto to avoid this tax and lawmakers tried to close the loophole with unconstitutional restrictions on speech and software publication we'd happily fight it out in the courts.

The proposed 5% remittance tax in the ‘Big Beautiful Tax Bill’ does not apply to crypto transactions sent from self custody. And may not apply to transactions sent from hosted wallet providers either. New from Coin Center: www.coincenter.org/what-the-pro...

“decentralization” can be a scary word but eg look at custom feeds instead of our own blackbox algorithm, we’re turning it over to third-party users to create a marketplace of feeds that anyone can subscribe to. for us, third-party should feel as seamless as first-party — that’s decentralization

been going down a youtube rabbit hole of serial police impersonators getting arrested lately. it’s amazing how many there are. weird combo of ego, failing out of becoming a real cop, and (i assume) weird guys using their fake job to impress women

there were too many fawning articles about how great bluesky is a the twitter without elon. made this place kind of cringe for a minute

it was a conclusion that elon watchers jumped to which he later denied tucker definitely fits the recent decline in quality of the for you page

Dearest mutuals, How are things back home? We hear that the king’s actions grow more vile, and the new aristocracy he has empowered are cruel. It is a wild but hopeful land here. Many have made the trip over. We still cannot block, which engenders much unpleasantness, but also opportunity.

Neeraj K. Agrawal @neerajka.bsky.social · 28/04/2023
the trade off is that people will be allowed to say horrible and things and find like minded people. sure you can control what you see but that’s only the first goal of moderation

everyone who is coming here talking about how it’s such a breath of fresh air and so much better than twitter is going to freak the fuck out when decentralized moderations starts to show its trade offs
