I just blocked an apparent "web3" guru on my instance. It felt good. 😈
BTW, "web3" is bullshit.
I didn't parachute off of Elon Musk's Twitter to stumble upon cryptobros!
@crowgirl it probably inevitable that all kind of creeps follow the “herd”. I’ve been thinking that basically one just needs to follow the “Newbie/welcome bot” that’s running at least on my instance or the introduction hashtag to find the prey. “Heyy welcome to Mastodon I have something for you…”.

@must0

Good point. I hope the culture of Mastodon and Hachyderm remains pro-FOSS and "knowledge should be free" hacker culture.

We can work for corporations and talk about proprietary software positively, that's fine. But cryptobro bullshit is absolutely oppositional to hacker ideals and must be blocked on sight.

@crowgirl Web3 was always a bullshit scheme to monetize data based on artificial scarcity. Glad to see you and others calling this out.
