Are you fucking kidding me?

Jack Dorsey is a main track speaker at FOSDEM this year:
fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event

🤮

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. 🤬

fosdem.orgFOSDEM 2025 - Infusing Open Source Culture into Company DNA: A Conversation with Jack Dorsey and Manik Surtani, Block's head of Open Source

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:

Insider · Jack Dorsey gave $10M to Nostr dev devoted to fascist 'guru'By Katherine Long

@rysiek Shouldn't be hard to find something reportable in these shitheads' post histories. Get them off the fedi and back to their circlejerk on Nostr.

@dalias @rysiek tbf, we’re circle jerking too, but we are right (at least i believe so)

@ljrk @rysiek Organizing to exclude awful ppl from your communities isn't circle jerking.

@dalias @rysiek Oh, I didn't mean that ^^'

The Fedi in general is a bit of a circle-jerk, but I like it (we do have discussions, but it's a bubble nontheless but I really don't mind).

@ljrk @rysiek The distinction I'm making is that we're here because we want to have positive community, share things were cresting, build systems to protect one another, etc. We don't need or want them here.

But they depend on trying to hurt us to have a good time online. That's why, despite being on their disgusting nazi coinbro thing Nostr, they're also here. The circlejerk analogy is that they're stuck settling for each other's miserable company when they want to be screwing us.

@dalias @ljrk
how is calling a person who you have never interacted with nor know (me) a “shithead” part of a “positive community”?
How did me asking another person a question “hurt” you?

In my world and in my fediverse horribly insulting others is not part of a “positive community” which can interact with each other in a decent way.

@dalias @ljrk
which in this case would say that I am intolerant and thus you must not tolerate me. but for that you also need to be able to show where am I intolerant?!

@bumi @ljrk No, I don't have anything to prove to you. Fuck off.

@dalias @ljrk
no, you sure don’t.
but I am surprised and honestly sad about you insulting random people without any conversation and call it “positive community”.
