Pretty interesting that China mandating lockdowns, masks, and vaccines is considered “authoritarian” but the US forcing its citizens to work during a pandemic that’s killed nearly a million Americans… isn’t considered authoritarian.

There's a whole lot the US should be doing better on the pandemic, but Omicron is so transmissible that short of a China-like "zero covid" regime, basically nothing is going to stand in the way of a *massive* outbreak. (see Denmark for just one example)

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

The only new word in that sentence is "minting". It explicitly says "same old scams, now with crypto!"

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

Yes it is regular old scammery. That's the point. But it is explicitly enabled by crypto.

"an unauthorized user posted a fake minting link"

The question is where is all of the supposed protection that people keep swearing is baked into the tech?

@polotek I don’t know if this is web3 specific though - in my mind this is plain old phishing facilitated by Discord’s user management system and lack of institutional knowledge about blockchain wallets.

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

"In a Twitter video, co-founder Justin Kan encouraged Fractal members to 'always be using a burner' for their crypto wallets, and to always be on the lookout for scams like this one."

Are you fucking kidding me?!

These are my favorite one. From the official statement after the hack.

"With over 100,000 members in our community, it’s quite impressive that the hacker only managed to dupe .3% of our community"

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

"The startup said in its announcement that it will fully compensate the victims of the hack..."

Does that sound "decentralized" to you?

"...in which an unauthorized user posted a fake minting link in Fractal's #announcements channel"

Does that sound like "transparency" to you?
