Are you fucking kidding me?

Jack Dorsey is a main track speaker at FOSDEM this year:

🤮

I am at a loss of words. I also owe sincere apologies to everyone flagging issues with FOSDEM over the years, whose concerns I often somewhat minimized. I am sorry, you were all right and I was wrong.

FOSDEM is now explicitly platforming AI/blockchain bro fascists. 🤬

👉 Edit: Drew DeVault is organizing a sit-in, and explains why: https://drewdevault.com/2025/01/16/2025-01-16-No-Billionares-at-FOSDEM-please.html

Lol, of course there is immediately a sealion in the replies, asking polite questions about why would letting Dorsey speak at FOSDEM be an issue, and why would anyone not like Dorsey after he supported decentralized networks like Nostr.

Profile: Bitcoin developer, "working on web monetization", Nostr address.

[shocked picachu face] 🤣

So about Nostr:

> Jack Dorsey gave $10 million to an anonymous founder with a deep devotion to a fascist 'guru'

Jack Dorsey gave $10M to Nostr dev devoted to fascist 'guru'

Twitter's cofounder Jack Dorsey personally gave $245,000 in crypto to a developer who's a follower and student of a well-known Brazilian fascist.
