Are you a great soft jelly thing? Smoothly rounded, with no mouth, with pulsing white holes filled by fog where your eyes used to be? Rubbery appendages that were once your arms; bulks rounding down into legless humps of soft slippery matter? Do you leave a moist trail when you move? Blotches of diseased, evil gray come and go on your surface, as though light is being beamed from within?

It's to push bitcoin? Any further reading on this?

I had heard one of the motivations was that jack was unhappy having to moderate twitter and wanted to have a federated model, similar to activity pub, but proprietary. That way if you wanted to avoid the racists, you could go on an instance that didn't allow it and jack wouldn't have to ban them. But all this, on a platform he owns so they can make money from ads.

I'm already hearing pretty bad news about their moderation practices.

I hadn't heard anything about it being a bitcoin thing, would love to know more.
