@ic_peon @local_3_3 @NotDogFinity @dfinity @dominic_w Thanks for having my back! 🙏❤️

@ic_peon @local_3_3 @NotDogFinity @dfinity @dominic_w You're right, but oh well. Maybe once I forget about it and feel like it later.

[Holographic @HolographicMD]

@ic_peon @local_3_3 @NotDogFinity @dfinity @dominic_w Yeah, I actually had a few other funny ideas, but this kind of takes away the motivation to participate. Maybe another time.

[Holographic @HolographicMD]

@local_3_3 @ic_peon @NotDogFinity @dfinity @dominic_w It’s good to know it was appreciated.
At least it definitely got thoroughly trashed 👍

Somebody stop that infinite glitch of likes i did not ask for 🫪

@waybackintimes “stolen”

[Holographic @HolographicMD]

Then the idealists withdraw, disillusioned, while opportunists move into the space they have left behind. The projects wither and die - or are taken over by crows and vultures, feeding on what was once built with conviction, sacrifice, and hope.

Same old story.

[Holographic @HolographicMD]

But, with time, come backroom deals, degeneration, decay, and the corruption of the original ideals. Nepotism takes root, personal interests begin to outweigh the collective purpose, and what was once conceived as a project gradually becomes a structure designed to benefit a few.

[Holographic @HolographicMD]

Everything begins with thinkers, with ideals, and with the driving force of human conviction. A purpose is born, fueled by the belief that something greater can be built.

@ICPFren Honestly, it shouldn’t just be about law or regulation. The real question is: why allow, promote, or be lenient toward illegal or harmful content? Why not show more empathy, recognize the harm it causes, and encourage responsible, respectful conduct instead?
Is that hard?

[Holographic @HolographicMD]

Maybe not everything should be decentralized. Hosting illegal content will never be right & it doesn’t do decentralization any favors.
Even if you argue that the issue is removing the content, rather than the app itself (a consequence of app centralization).

[Charles Hoskinson @IOHK_Charles]

Almost like we need a decentralized application store, a DApp store if you will....

[Holographic @HolographicMD]

@ICPFren The internet and its participants are not above accountability: online actions can have real-world consequences and must comply with applicable laws and regulations.

[Holographic @HolographicMD]

@ICPFren No institution that values its reputation, takes a long-term view, and is committed to sustainability wants to be involved in projects that advocate illegal activities.
I wouldn’t. And I’m nobody.

[Holographic @HolographicMD]

@ICPFren If you or someone in your family, or someone you care about, were the victim of an unlawful act of that nature, would you still have the same opinion?

"We will evaluate the model inside a carefully designed sandbox with no internet access."

the sandbox:

[Holographic @HolographicMD]

In a nutshell, decentralization is about refusing centralized power, only to end up falling at the feet of big corporations and governments, begging for adoption.

[Holographic @HolographicMD]

Everyone already knows who you are.
Show confidence, reliability, and commitment. Show that you’re here to stay, that the technology works, and that you deliver on what you promise.
That’s what builds adoption. Not another marketing campaign.

[Holographic @HolographicMD]

And that’s the paradox: decentralization is built around the idea of reducing dependence on centralized institutions, yet everyone then wants adoption from major institutions and starts shouting about the need for “marketing.”
No. Nobody has patience for marketing anymore.

[Holographic @HolographicMD]

3/ You’re fostering an economicist mindset built around gains, corner-cutting, and speed? So that’s the kind of clientele you’re going to attract. Then don’t complain when institutions fail to adopt it.

[Holographic @HolographicMD]

2/ be blown away and surrender to the razzle-dazzle.
Wrong.
You’re forgetting something important: is it actually beneficial to society? Is it ethical, from the means to the ends?
