I've only used mastodon for a week. My account just got suspended for:
"Being a capitalist"
I am not sure what that means. But I guess I can fix it by sending some moneros to the server owner?
The Fediverse is not very welcoming.

- A man who stole $10B, @SBF_FTX just got interviewed, portrayed almost as a victim and got an applause at the end Still free and fine. Aaron Swartz, who downloaded academic journals to share with the world got $1m in fines and 35 yrs in prison. This lead him to take his own life
- AWS is down and then the internet stops working. But the blockchain, it never goe ... wait a minute. Scratch that. This sector is a joke. Everyone preaching decentralization and censorship resistance but in reality ... it's all 100% reliant on the cloud.
- It was 8 years ago today, we launched #ethereum from a small office in Waldemarstraße 37A in Berlin What a journey its been since then? It became the most widely used cryptocurrency network, switched to PoS and spawned many alt-L1s and L2s 🦄Excited for what the future brings!
- Replying to @RealTimeWWIIWhat's even more interesting is he did not know how to swim
- It was this day 10 years ago, 30th of July 2015, that we changed the world forever. We were a small team of hackers in an office in Kreuzberg in Berlin and we had just launched the @ethereum network. The rest is history. Looking back at the last 10 years, I am excited about
- Our brother @alex_pertsev has been in prison for 103 days. Today a Dutch court, labeling him a flight risk keeps denying him a fair trial and asked to be kept in prison until 2023/02/20. Another 90 days. In total 193 days in prison without a trial for ... writing #opensource
- I’m tired. Everything I love about software: craft, care, community is being gutted. AI slop PRs for airdrops. Fake activity to juice metrics for retro funding. DAO politics and governance favors. OSS reduced to a game of farming points and politics. Crypto didn’t liberate
- Replying to @daniel_nguyenx"I got questioned why I did that" I would have fired immediately. Trust is everything.
- Replying to @LefterisJP and @SBF_FTXThis is the justice system of the modern western world, ladies and gentlemen. Burn it all to the ground.
- A really serious issue is currently unfolding across most hosted crypto frontends. There is a supply attack on a popular connector, the @Ledger connect-kit. It has been infected with a drainer, which you can confirm by deobfuscating the code. Be extra vigilant!
- I don't understand the American justice system. Steal ~10$B and cause people to kill themselves -> 25 years Download academic journals from MIT to share with the world -> 2 counts of wire fraud and eleven violations of the CFAA (~max sentence 35 years). Remember Aaron Swartz
