Do you not understand allegory? Are you a literalist who cannot grasp nuance in internet banter?

force

Nah. I said nudge.

crypto scam

Nah.

What’s your point?

Last week’s Skepticism thread was here: https://monero.town/post/3884733

I am indeed salty about INVOLUNTARY taxation.

I am not in the business of rescuing the world.

Aight. Good for you.

first you are wrong.

wrong about what?

Excluding smartphone slaves would be a big plus.

Depending on your goal. If your goal is to have an exclusive club of monero users, yeah, be my guest. But if you want to reach some critical mass with your monero-related discussion community, some level of ease of access to the discussion medium helps.

Yes, no mobile device access is a big hurdle.

Lemmy has a lot of potential for replacing reddit for long form written, indexed, searchable and structured (all as opposed to irc/matrix discussions) discussion medium.

This is the context of my message. Irc/matrix are different comms medium than reddit/lemmy. So, I do 't see the relevance of your message.

EDIT: Now I understand the context of your message–my bad! Agreed, Monero comminity should free its discourse from the shackles of reddit.

Btc is kosher now

As far as Bitcoin goes, there’s also coinjoin.

With whirlpool going out of biz, what coinjoin is there for btc?

LN stuff

• Doesn’t work when mempool fees are high
• Most people are forced/nudged into using custodial wallets
• LN was not designed to be a privacy tool. Bitcoiners tried to shoe-in that it is also a privacy tool

Monero is losing ground to LN

Where are LN darknets?

This sounds very good.

Anarchism has its own politics apart from a sole “woke” or sole “reacionary” angle.

We don’t have that capacity right now and wasting energy on that

You have visual evidence of the capacity right now: is your light on or off? If they are on, we have the energy capacity.

Also nuclear isn’t a good option long therm, and short therm it isn’t either.

Nuclear is the best base-load option we have. What would you rather have? Coal?

Im more worried about the gigantic toll crypto takes on energy infrastructure.

what exactly are you worried about? So long as we generate more energy (preferably via nuclear + wind + solar) who cares?

advanced wokeism and crypto go hand in hand

crypto is anarchistic and doesn’t care about your petty personal politics.

tbh, I think I will just give up on lemmy. I think I will just turn the site into a hugo blog (about Monero) and use pleroma/mastodon comments for interacting with the readers and forming a community.

You seem willing to start over. You are now on PostgreSQL15.3 and Lemmy 0.18.4 - so it’s up to you.

Alright. I will do that. RIP my old instance and its data. Welcome a new instance and its future data.

Thanks for the help effort that stretched into 3 days. I appreciate it.

domain.tld is my instance’s domain name which I have redacted.

and then it lists my instance’s private key.
