I may have taken #FuckOffFriday a little too literally on Twitter today, but Elon has really just taken things too far.

He has now marked all Substack links as spam, and you can no longer like or comment on any outlines to Substack.

Anyway, so happy that this is the first #FediFriday of many more #FediFridays to come!

#TwitterMigration #Introduction #Welcome

Another post for #FediFriday on this, the first of many #FediFridays to come!

Who would you like to see post more here on the Fediverse? Who do you wish were more active? Who came here a while back and then maybe doesn't come around as often as you'd like? No shame, no blame, just ... who do you miss around these parts?

You don't even have to be sure they aren't here, because without an algorithm, it might just be a matter of timing! For me, it's @Pwnallthethings

Who is it for you?

I think that finding new people in the Fediverse is one of the hardest things about getting here, and since there is no algorithm, having a slow feed is one of the biggest problems that people face in making it sticky here when they get here. I think that #FediFridays will make this better, but I think it's also important that everyone share good people to follow!

So, who do you love to follow? Who shows up in your feed and makes you happy? Share a couple of people in the comments!

🚨 It's not every day you see an economic metric of at least middling importance down almost 80% in a singe year... but commercial mortgage backed securities have done it.

Not to be outdone, collateralized loan obligations are down 93% year over year.

Buckle up folks because the Commercial Real Estatemageddon is gonna be a wild ride.

🚨Ω🚨
Long running, oft-fined for crimes like money laundering and sanctions violations #cryptocurrency exchange #Bittrex announced it would be easier for them to leave the USA than to prove to American regulators a few days ago.

The best part is that #Bittrex gave people ~48 hours to setup bank accounts for wire transfers.

gonna be a long weekend for some #Ponzi schemers....

Great article by @mikeburgersburg about #Coinbase's sketchy af banking partner #CrossRiverBank goes through the Congressional accusations of #PPP / Covid relief fraud on a massive scale, the incredible #predatorylending schemes this bank is running through its partners at companies like #AFRM and #UPST, and other aspects of Cross River's "interesting" business model.

Doesn't even get into the $100 million investment from the Malaysian police inspector who "investigated" the theft of $4-5 billion in one of the greatest financial scandals of all time, #1MDB (fun fact: the movie "The Wolf Of Wall Street" was funded in large part by this massive theft from Malaysia's working people). I'll be getting into that part on my own substack next week.
