I have no interest in crypto currency, it's affiliated block chain, or NFTs. Crypto fuels authoritarianism.

Uh I just got DMed by the COO of Tumblr asking about hiring contractors to make us fully #indieweb compliant, and possibly even #fediverse integration. Anyone out there looking for work?

This is not too far from my Texas hometown and is a beautiful place. I know this isn't what's usually posted here but this is too much and Gregg Abbott and other neo-fascists will most likely come out saying something about teachers need guns and it's the people not the guns. Good god, Central American was safer. I lived there.

I'm working on the last tweeks of my mixes (I'm such a noob) then it's off to mastering. I am on quite a fixed income, so, I'm doing this myself.

So I checked out the "genius" section of the iTunes Store and there were no suggestions for me. I'm not sure how to take this.

FediTips has moved!May 23, 2022

A reminder that Mastodon and the Fediverse do NOT use cryptocurrency, blockchains, NFTs, tokens, coins, mining, web3 or anything like that.

Masto and the Fedi run on traditional servers and use a sustainable network federation model somewhat similar to e-mail (that's why Fediverse addresses look similar to e-mail addresses).

Also a reminder there are no venture capital firms or other investors either. No one owns the network, each server is independent. Masto and Fedi server running costs are paid by their owners, sometimes with donations from users.

No one is getting rich from the Fediverse, it is all volunteers with some getting donations and a few getting modest grants from foundations. Please remember this when you interact with admins or developers.

(There might be some individual users who post about cryptocurrency/blockchain, but the infrastructure this place runs on doesn't use it at all.)

Tl:dr - Decentralisation does NOT mean cryptocurrency/blockchain
