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 I actually chatted with the new owner of Pawoo on Mastodon, & it’s not as nefarious as it seems. It’s closer to a Automattic (aka WordPress.com) buying Tumblr acquisition than a Meta (aka Facebook) buying Instagram acquisition. I will try to talk to the new owner tomorrow over Zoom about this.
