As a subtle jab to central banks, Satoshi chose his birthday as the date the US made gold ownership illegal through EO 6102 April 5th. He chose 1975 as his year of birth which is the year when the US citizens were allowed to own gold again.

@thor I've never been a monarchist and my ancestors who fought against the British empire were republicans (in the literal sense of the word), however I find the theory intriguing that a monarchy has an overlooked advantage in the (admittedly theoretical) low time preference and skin in the game of the monarch.
Your story serves as a positive example of that idea.

Nitpick: the open standard which Mastodon and Pleroma and others use is called #ActivityPub.

I think it's better to distinguish between the protocol and the particular client implementations.

Yeah, they're comparing 2013 XMPP with modern day chat apps, not with 2013 chat apps.
Today in our "that can't be possible?" series, I got asked to update a script that extracts data from a database and drops a CSV somewhere. It already smells bad enough, but there's more.
There was no script, somebody had just dropped a CSV there once in 2014. The consumer thought they had up to date data while they were reading the same file over and over again.
For 7 years. And nobody realized.

Just to clarify, posting goes both ways, so it doesn't matter where you write first, although Mastodon gives you more chars which will get truncated with a link when crossposted to Twitter
