Were you on Twitter, before Dorsey sold it? When cryptocurrency features were added, there was a mass exodus from the site with more threatening to leave if Lightning/BTC transactions became a central feature. Dorsey has tried this same shtick repeatedly and has only pissed off his community; it's a good thing that his conniving contributions have been removed from BlueSky.
McAfee also had ostensibly admirable goals in encouraging a world without borders, if you ignore his arrest warrant for murder.
- dewey 3y agoYes, my account is from 2008. I don't think it felt like a "mass exodus" from the site at that point though, way different to what happened after the Elon take-over or briefly when "App.net" was launched as an alternative.
- talldayo 3y agoOutside of crypto and tech circles, the gaudy-ass NFT icons and pointless integrations were all anyone would talk about. Twitter users were lucky to get 3 features a year, and towards the end of Dorsey's tenure all 3 of those features would be crypto-focused. It was an obviously failed integration that Dorsey continues to advocate for on platforms that work perfectly well without it.
