Summary

Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson said he plans to create a Discord server for the Cardano community as part of a broader shift away from X, where he said he wants to leave behind "drama, lies and endless anger." He said he will continue livestreaming on X, but AMA questions will be taken only from the new Cardano Discord and the existing Midnight Discord. The move follows renewed accusations tied to an alleged sale of 1.5 billion ADA during the 2021 bull market, adding a fresh flashpoint to ongoing debates across the Cardano ecosystem over governance, moderation and how communities balance the reach of public social platforms against more controlled discussion spaces.
