@ariadne I guess time will tell. How lovely it will be to have been wrong for once. I look forward to that day.
@joelving @aral @ariadne@treehouse.systems Given that Hypercore has been eaten up by some extractive blockchain bullshit now (and taken out of community governance), for me that has significantly soured my view of the people associated with it. I'm not 100% sure that Frazee was involved with that decision, but vaguely recall that he was.
@joelving @aral @ariadne@treehouse.systems It's possible that I'm misremembering. I looked into this a couple months(?) back, and remember having to search quite a bit to figure out exactly who was involved with the acquisition, there were some non-obvious associations. I unfortunately don't seem to have kept proper notes...

AFAIK, Frazee joined Bluesky before Keet was a thing by a year or so. I don't know if things were decided before that, though.
I absolutely agree that the Tether association is horrendous and I share your concerns about it. Best case, that's a serious lapse of judgement on their part.
