@aaronpk You could just, like, turn off your Twitter account.

Personally, I couldn’t stand it over there and left a long time ago. Haven’t missed a thing. YMMV, of course.

That was my approach with Facebook. I still do have friends on Twitter I would be sad to not be able to talk to though. In the mean time, my auto-blocker bot is doing a great job of cleaning things up.

Like what is the point of making a meme like this? It’s absurdly childish lunacy. As someone who has designed and built products for dozens of companies in tech it just makes me want to avoid crypto people at all costs. You sound like assholes!

He does know. He knows what he’s talking about. He’s not seriously suggesting it, he’s just expressing some frustration with Bitcoin, frustration that you guys are demonstrating is reasonable as you all appear to be far-right trolling lunatics with near-religious zeal.

I use Google trends if there are two similar terms and I don’t know which one is more popular. I also pop my topic into the search bar on google and YouTube to see what gets autopopulated. I use phrases instead of one-word tags.

Bitcoin fanatics are usually proud libertarians. And as far as I can tell, proud libertarians are pretty much just republicans who like drugs, so... I'm not surprised there's overlap in pronoun/mask opinions.

Since people are still replying to this, let me be clear:

Yes, I know how bitcoin works. It's called a joke.

Pointing out that I'm wearing a mask and have pronouns in my bio does not make you look cool.

If you reply and have "bitcoin" in your bio, my robot will autoblock you.

If your web app design means the back button doesn't work your app is, from the user's perspective, broken.

@aaronpk @Gargron I think Aaron's point is key - it's layering a social network on top of audio, giving a richer experience than just text, but not as heavy an experience as video (in a time when we're all sick of endless zoom calls).
Ben Thompson had an interesting piece on his Stratechery site about the rise of Clubhouse and others in "social audio": https://stratechery.com/2021/clubhouses-inevitability/
His main point being that these tools are making it even easier to discover, listen, and participate.
