ᴮᵉⁿ ᴿᵒʸᶜᵉVOTE IN THE PRIMARIES (benroyce@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 15-Sep-2025 15:51:51 JST

@swetland @mcc @aeva

because #bluesky operates on the #cryptoBro credo (since bluesky is run by crypto bros)

in #crypto, the con is:

1. promise a lot
2. don't deliver
3. but nevertheless generate adoring devotion off of the promise

this works like gangbusters

because people want to believe. they even get defensive and angry when you point out promise vs reality

it's a hack of human psychology
