@evan @Edent If you look through the lens of native/western histories — indigenous struggles vs colonial modernity — the same pattern plays out again and again: the native path is degraded, disrespected, overwritten. In tech, it’s no different. You see it when horizontal, trust-based networks get steamrolled by #NGO capture, institutional gatekeeping, or #VC-funded platforms that sell convenience and control.

A guide for staying honest and native

A community is only viable if enough people care enough to keep it relevant. In this era of #stupidindividualism, most people don’t lift a finger to make that happen.

This is the norm across many #4opens spaces: a near-total lack of interest in building or maintaining shared paths. It’s a textbook case of right-wing Tragedy of the Commons. Developers show up when it suits them, use the space for their narrow needs, then drift off without contributing to the upkeep. They treat community […]

Universeodon Social Media⚯ Michel de Cryptadamus ⚯ (@cryptadamist@universeodon.com)Attached: 1 video Here's a somewhat infamous video of #KyleSamani from #MulticoinCapital explaining with a straight face that it's actually GOOD for society if most 18-25 year olds get scammed out of their life's savings¹ because it will teach them lessons about risk. Kyle Samani is buds with America's new "crypto czar" #DavidSacks - they're both investors in #Solana, the blockchain for #memecoins where the TRUMP and MELANIA memecoins were launched - and is now helping set American regulatory policy. ¹ by scammers like Kyle Samani #uspol #uspolitics #SEC #CFTC #finreg #libertarian #libertarians #memecoin #TrumpCoin #Trump #DonaldTrump

#VC backed #quantum #tech is a bubble waiting to burst open its vapid promises. So-called leaders like @rigetti are already heavily shorted. Make no mistake, quantum is real but not when Greater Fool Theory means ever more desperate dog-and-pony shows to keep investors at bay.

This is why I don't make "community contributions" to "open platforms" which don't have some very solid legal framework for governance in place.

They sell out to VC and rug pull hard on the community that provides the bulk of their data and value.

A little reminder that DuckDuckGo is venture capital (VC) funded.

The way VC works:

1. You get VC
2. You grow as fast as you can (or fail fast)
3. You sell (either to a larger corporation or to the public in an IPO; this is called the “exit”)

(In case any of you are surprised by recent/future developments.)
