Another important warning from the pawoo acquisition: The purchaser, Mask Network, is a cryptotoken company that pushes the "web3" myth and openly runs NFT scams*. A lot of people comment that when Twitter started failing it was ActivityPub that wound up being the decentralized way forward, not blockchain tech, but blockchain scammers have a financial interest in making it look otherwise. (1/2)

* Explaining this comment to ward off lawsuits: all NFT sales are scams.

@mcc Is there a simple way to block off certain Mastodon instances?

@digiglean Yes, depending on your server you will find a "block domain" option on the ... menu of either any mastodon post, such as this one --> or on any profile.

In the specific case of Pawoo, this server is *sighs, takes a deep breath* already partially or completely blocked from most European and American instances, probably including yours, due to Pawoo's permissive stance on simulated child pornography.

@mcc @digiglean Musk is operating like the tycoons of the Gilded Age who gained great wealth and power by ruthlessly eliminating their competition.
