Streisand effect. I never heard of this place and now I want ALL their merch. Lol

Shame.
Nostr + monero = 🖕
I don’t know Nostr and creepto incentivizes greed. A pitchfork is all you need.
I’ll be honest, I read the link fully expecting to completely disagree with it, and actually I don’t. There’s actually a decent amount of it I do agree with. Bitcoin has evolved and not in a good way from what it was meant to be which was peer-to-peer digital cash that anybody could use to send money around the world in an instant with no government oversight. That’s actually the big reason that I’m interested in Monero, because it still fulfills that vision while providing user privacy and low fees. It does use proof of work mining, so uses electricity for that, but it is much better than Bitcoin simply because it uses your general CPU that you find in your phone, your desktop, your laptop, etc. and does not require specialized hardware that costs a ton of money and burns a crap ton of power to only mine.
You may or may not find my arguments above compelling, but I appreciate the link. Because, as I said, I expected to fully disagree with it and found more agreement than I expected to.
Thanks for taking the time.
Nostr is full of fascists and others with bigotted, regressive views last I heard, so no thank you.
'The internet is full of fascists, so I’m never going to use it"
That isn’t what I said. Why take my words out of context? I have no desire to use a specific thing that has become a hub for fascists, not the whole internet. This is very disingenuous.
“Lots of fascists live in houses, so I’m not going to live in houses”
🙄
I don’t disagree with your point, but how do Nostr or Monero play into the article? They aren’t mentioned at all.
Can’t be kicked off of Nostr and PayPal and other services can’t freeze Monero.
I see, I thought the finger was aimed at Nostr and cryptocurrencies. As you describe them they sound like the last hiding places for the worst assholes of the internet, and I feel confirmed in staying far away from everything web3/blockchain.
In case you didn’t know cryptocurrency’s/web3’s failures are all being recorded here: https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com
You’re right about Nostr, as anything that advertises itself as “censorship proof” usually just ends up with those that want to say and do the vilest shit without consequences: fascists, bigots and the like.
Oh, I know “Web3 is going just great” already. It is the true ledger of the blockchain hype, and it’s all in the red. Hopefully your link brings it to somebody for the first time.
Ah okay. Glad you were aware of it and thank you 🙂. I hope so too.
I don’t condone violence, and I didn’t think that the cards were in good taste, but, wait a minute
A Shopify store selling “Covid’s Most Wanted” playing cards, displaying figures like Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci, and including QR codes linking to a website “where all the crimes and evidence are listed,” is available as of this writing.
I’m starting to think that the article has a bit of a point.
