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. 🤬

@rysiek I don’t know the history well enough and never paid attention on the commercial background of the speakers.
what’s the problem? that there are speakers who run (big) companies? or that there are speakers who’s companies are also sponsors?

@bumi @rysiek That the speaker is part of an active group of oligarchs pushing for fascism.

@bumi @rysiek Ah, a bitcoin-bro, never mind. Keep on burning down the planet for short-term gain, bro!

@whvholst @rysiek how is he pushing for fascism?
