“Decentralized open source software is going to be the next wave of social media platforms”

Can I ask what you think of ICP?

Their music sucks. But their fan base are actually some of the nicest people you would ever meet. I spent like a month up in Minnesota where everybody in my age group was just all about ICP.

ICP actually consoled me after a breakup. Super good guys. I met them a while ago.

😂😂 I walked into that one 🤡 I didn’t know how to quote what you had written so I just pasted it into my comment. Yes the crypto bros are so annoying. I really am intrigued by ICPs utility and after seeing that statement in your comment I thought I would ask. Thank you for your reply, I agree also

Were you walking around with a two liter stuck in yo buttchecks?

I used to jam out to them in high school. Had so many weird teachers thinking it was actual devil written music.

So, I'm so rural that I know two families whose parents wouldn't let them play DND or enjoy Harry Potter because they said it was devil worship. One of them now plays DND with me. And his 10 yo son is all about it. Grandma gets to hear all about how fun DND is to play

I remember growing up and hearing about how D&D will summon literal demons and satan with rend asunder the earth and rise out of the ground.

All I could think of was “holy shit that sounds so cool!!”

Well, I started using chatgpt to do one-off games. That's about as close as I can get to summoning a real demon. It's been fun.

Do you play them solo?

Reminds me of playing the old text based games of the mid 90’s.

I knew you weren't talking about the insane clown posse. But I couldn't resist.

I haven't done a whole lot of research on ICP, but I love the concept of being able to host websites on a blockchain.

There were a number of tick talkers that I was following that were into it. But I ended up blocking all of them. Because they were all crypto Bros. And like every other video was them talking about the next crypto coin. And there's people just annoy the everlating shit out of me.

But if I ever did want to have a website on the blockchain. I would have it on there because I know that it can never be taken down. Decentralized free open source software is the future.

Insane Clown Posse? I like their music, my favorite song by them is Hokus Pokus and Boogie Woogie Wu.
