I read the article before commenting, I always do.

This "experiment" and the targeting of users like Hive account@krnl are not separate incidents. They're just symptoms of a more profound undercurrent, a symptom of the "crab mentality" culture. This is so pervasive that it has become the norm, to such an extent that nobody thinks there are other solutions. Makes me feel like in my childhood: I grew up in a communist country, under the dictatorship of Ceausescu and everybody was acting like "there's nothing to be done". There is. It's always something to be done.

It's ironic to witness communities with a strong communist penchant, 27 years after the fall of Ceausescu regime. And where? In the US! And running on what? On the blockchain!

Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get next :)
