Friend.tech threatens to punish users if they use copycat apps By Cointelegraph

Crypto’s newest decentralized social media (DeSo) app friend.tech has been met with intense criticism over a decision to punish users who opt in to forks or copycat versions of its tokenized social media platform.

“To make sure loyal users are rewarded fairly during our beta, users moving to forks and copies will automatically opt out of earning Points and forfeit existing points,” wrote the official friend.tech X account in an Aug. 28 tweet.
