@Gargron The wealthy finding a way to commodify something that didnt need commodifying 🥸
@Gargron OMG no! This is not what the world needs at all... I weep for the future...
@Gargron oh no this sets the incentive to have paid avatar images. Why does everything need to be monetized :(
The poor of the next generations will toil in the content mines for funny pictures or memes to sell :/

@Gargron Twitter really just has no idea what to do with themselves, do they.
@Gargron ah yes, the trusty (and crusty, thanks to Twitter compression) JPEG collection on profiles
Andy, these aren't even jpegs. The thing actually stored on the blockchain is a link to some CDN, or maybe an IPFS hash if you're lucky.
@grishka not that the prospect of the possibility of owning a link or hash sounds more enticing than the actual image, but yes, I forgot.
They seem really insistent with all the blockchain stuff lately. Most discussions on their decentralization efforts aka bluesky inevitably devolve into discussions about blockchain, too.
@Gargron If I'd still be active in Twitter this would be a super handy feature! All the hardcore techbros now tagging themselves, all I need to do is block them... Also easily automated ..
@Gargron what's wrong?
@avndp @Gargron Blockchain
@freundTech @Gargron why it is wrong?
@avndp @freundTech @Gargron there's no use for it and they are desperately trying to find one
@pinkprius @freundTech @Gargron probably you should educate yourself first.
@avndp @pinkprius @Gargron Can you name a single use case, where blockchain works better than an alternative solution?
