A reminder that Mastodon and the Fediverse do NOT use cryptocurrency, blockchains, NFTs, tokens, coins, mining, web3 or anything like that.
Masto and the Fedi run on traditional servers and use a sustainable network federation model somewhat similar to e-mail (that's why Fediverse addresses look similar to e-mail addresses).
Also a reminder there are no venture capital firms or other investors either. No one owns the network, each server is independent. Masto and Fedi server running costs are paid by their owners, sometimes with donations from users.
No one is getting rich from the Fediverse, it is all volunteers with some getting donations and a few getting modest grants from foundations. Please remember this when you interact with admins or developers.
(There might be some individual users who post about cryptocurrency/blockchain, but the infrastructure this place runs on doesn't use it at all.)
Tl:dr - Decentralisation does NOT mean cryptocurrency/blockchain
@nukie Killing that echidna put him into an existential crisis, it suddenly awoke childhood memories he thought he had forgotten, and he was shattered spiritually by what he had done
@RehnSturm256 @Jazzy_Butts@pawoo.net But it's kind of good in a way, it was the nudge I needed to get off there, ever since baraag has banned the whole instance from being able to follow baraag users I haven't been having as much fun
@RehnSturm256 @Jazzy_Butts@pawoo.net No idea, I'm assuming it's some sort of a ban, even though I posted no illegal content.
@nukie This is my backup account. Before this I had Pawoo and before Pawoo it was Baraag. I'm just going through my list and following everyone again.
@Liminal I can't use pawoo anymore rn idk if glitch or banned
