Base, a prominent player in the crypto industry, is facing significant backlash after reports emerged that a moderator on its Discord server allegedly reported users from another Discord server, leading to widespread account restrictions. The restrictions are said to last until September 2025, affecting thousands of highly engaged crypto users, including CTOs and CEOs of major crypto companies. The incident has sparked calls for immediate action from Discord to reverse the restrictions and for accountability from Base's leadership, including Jesse Pollak. Some users have suggested that a bad actor might have gained moderator privileges.
