Instagram Is Disabling Its NFT Features
Reading the linked article is <i>hard</i> going.<p>“Imagine if you gave up on the Internet in 2000”. This again.<p>This is how distorted people’s perceptions become when they live their whole life in echo chambers.<p>Leaving the obvious aside, It genuinely seems like a lot of those still pushing this are utterly unaware of the harms their whole mess has caused.<p>Also, they’ve made it way harder to teach non-techies how to stay safe online in the future by co-opting the term “crypto”.  They immediately think any use of the term crypto is related to this stuff. Your Digital ponzi scam != cryptography.<p>The <i>worst</i> part is how the public now thinks if you’re involved in software you <i>must</i> be a massive believer in cc/NFTs because they keep hearing about it so all techies must think it’s awesome, right!?<p>It’s exhausting.
