apparently cryptoland, a project entirely based on the "ideology" of crypto, goes running to centralized interventions when it suits them.
fortunately decentralized services have existed since long before web3, and someone seems to have re-uploaded it to peertube.social/w/iHHqNQvf3h9N…
i wonder why this project suddenly no longer wants people to watch the video they spent so much time and money on?
the video is also available on the wayback machine, though their player can be slow and they are more susceptible to takedowns:
so much for "the future of the web will be decentralized, immutable, and free from the meddling of big tech companies"
as a little treat, the lovely and undoubtedly extremely attractive person who uploaded the video to peertube also shared this extended cut of the animation (nearly twice as long) in case anyone truly wishes to torture themselves: peertube.social/w/nzEJmpNEpTmx…
i'm wondering if the founders are trying to distance themselves from the project in taking down this video but not the one w just the animation. that's what they did with another project that went up in flames after they doxxed someone (see
if so, they probably wouldn't want people to see this extremely self-indulgent "Cryptoland founders" video they made: peertube.social/w/w88Xz8DZQDVA…
heads up if you try to watch the wayback version you will need to click in to the link; it will show "this video is unavailable" in the embed even though it is still up on their site.

an up-and-coming crypto scam—er, project—has managed to dunk on cryptobros better than any satirist i've seen so far, with one of the most painful-to-watch youtube videos i've seen in a while. join me in hell as we watch this together:
"do you want to be part of the world's first physical crypto island?"
there are few things i want less
"a private island with a complete ecosystem that represents the blooming crypto space"
these people are going to die on this island aren't they
As the news broke on Wednesday that there was a riot at the U.S. Capitol, volunteer #Wikipedia editors worked to document what was happening. A thread about the fascinating process of breaking news editing:
At 18:34 UTC (1:34 p.m. EST) on January 6, an editor created a short article titled "January 2021 Donald Trump rally" about what was at the time only a rally in Washington, D.C.
Shortly after 2 p.m. EST, protesters breached the Capitol building. The information was first introduced to the article at 2:33 p.m. EST, and at this point many editors began rapidly updating the page.
