1/ @Microsoft @Minecraft has just revealed that it will exclude anyone, without notice & due process, simply if they disagree with them and that they too operate as a digital dictatorship changing their terms of service on a whim washingtonpost.com/video-games/20…

2/ #minecraft has directly caused pain and suffering to an innocent & blameless minority who was purged and cleansed without regard to their circumstances and without advance notice causing at least >$100m in damages coindesk.com/business/2022/… (we have no stake in @nftworlds)

3/ @Minecraft has provided no evidence that operating #NFTs are harmful to their community given that a vast majority of all players are not engaged in any #blockchain version. Previous term did not disallow #NFT or #blockchain implementations of #minecraft have existed before

4/ Instead @minecraft made a hypocritical stance on how #NFTs are exclusionary when they just excluded a community violating their own principle of being inclusive and perpetuating players to the realm of have-nots in an Orwellian display of doublespeak polygon.com/23271975/minec…

5/ #blockchain & #NFTs are not a threat to #minecraft or the #gaming community, it is a threat to closed platforms/monopolies who control every aspect of our digital lives and wish to continue extracting every ounce of value from our time and attention decrypt.co/84043/facebook…

6/ About 20 years ago .@microsoft called #opensource a cancer calling it the worst thing possible for the software and IP industry, many other closed source developers cited safety, reliability and sustainability concerns as well cnet.com/tech/services-…

7/ Just as #opensource beat out #closedsource because it provided for a more equitable distribution of information and knowledge so too will an #openmetaverse like @TheSandboxGame win out against closed ones because of #trueidigitalownership wired.com/2016/08/open-s…

8/ The real #metaverse is open has #truedigitalpropertyrights and is governed by a majority interest i.e. its users that is inclusive of the whole community including those of the minority

9/ I reiterated this just a day ago that most gamers don't realize that all the items they play with and have earned/paid for actually don't belong to them unless you engage in #blockchain @TheSandboxGame @the_phantom_g @OthersideMeta @AxieInfinity etc.

10/ “Freedom and Property Rights are inseparable. You can’t have one without the other.” ~ George Washington

To enjoy true digital freedoms we must have #truedigitalpropertyrights and sovereignty over our data, we must choose open over closed. hellometaverse.fm/episodes/episo…
