    Cool so a replacement that also has crypto bros behind it. Isn’t it fun how Mastodon doesn’t even get mentioned in major media?

      Pretty sure the Washington post did a full spread about Mastodon like a year ago. Despite this, I still can’t find any real major media outlets on there. Or maybe they exist, but I feel the thing holding mastodon back is discovery.

        This does not change the fact that the Bluesky app and the AT Protocol do not use blockchains or cryptocurrency, and we will not hyperfinancialize the social experience (through tokens, crypto trading, NFTs, etc.). To ensure we and our users benefit fully from this expertise, partner Kinjal Shah will join our board.

        So we’ll see how long before the VC enshittification begins.

        Edit: do you have to be male to be a cryptobro? Cryptosis?

        Prior to joining Blockchain Capital, Kinjal was a Senior Consulting Analyst at Fidelity Investments in Boston. At Fidelity, Kinjal was an integral part of the strategic team developing Fidelity’s blockchain initiatives, as well as the strategy behind new asset management products.

        Kinjal earned her B.S. in Quantitative Economics from Tufts University. She is a co-founder of Komorebi Collective, an investment DAO, funding female and non-binary founders in crypto.
