@pixouls And people told me I was being alarmist when I told them to watch out for the Internet Archiveβs crypto-curiosity.

TeMPOraL (temporal@mastodon.technology)'s status on Wednesday, 12-Jan-2022 21:00:39 UTC TeMPOraL @theruran But why crypto? How is this insanity spreading so fast through seemingly reputable organizations?
What's next? Wikipedia selling NFTs for article edits so the buyers can prove they contributed?
Why not embrace MLMs while they're at it? Same kind of ethics is involved, but at least the branching factor on wastefulness/climate impact is much lower.
