Dragon-sided D

@muntedcrocodile @k4r4b3y The reason crypto in general is considered scammy is because BTC, ETH, and most others are simply not useful as currencies, due to LIMITATIONS OF DESIGN. Such as hardcoded blocksize, block transparency, and more.

Right from the beginning, people doubled down on their investments selling flimsy alternative theories than the simple design goal of “Internet cash”

AFAICT, only one serious project has had the engineering focus to make design changes as needed. XMR is money

@smpl @corvus and if you want to be double plus sure, set pushServer to “none” instead of the default wss:// address

@dohpaz42 @corvus
You can also easily disable in about:config

On the one hand, marijuana clearly should have fewer restrictions than alcohol given the objectively fewer personal and social risks.

On the other hand, without marijuana prohibition, how will we ensure a constant stream of new anarchists in each successive generation?

@nihilist @makeasnek Monero is the world’s emergency safety valve against overzealous governments

@k4r4b3y I got thru #8 and they were all the same nonissue IMO – yes, it’s an append-only log like a lot of decentralized systems and yes that means it’s not inherently linear and that you can’t delete stuff.

I’ll look over the rest later

@k4r4b3y Oh yeah, on phone I used Manyverse. Big props to Andre Saltz if he’s still working on it.

Just throwing this out there – if I were taking up the task of censorship-resistant online community creation today, I’d probably focus on Matrix. It already has a very solid backend and ability to sync servers; there is a lot of low-hanging fruit in the clients, though

@k4r4b3y TBH I stopped paying attention to SSB about 2 years ago, and even when I was active I just used the web interface (and sometimes the CLI for pub management)

@k4r4b3y @rafael_xmr Just poking in to say I also love SSB’s totally decentralized design. It’s what I would choose for maximum censorship resistance.

That said, the world has basically chosen Federated architectures rather than fully decentralized ones: Matrix, Mastodon, etc.

An important requirement for a social network… is people

Today I completed my daily driver transition to #LibreWolf ; this thread was the catalyst.

I love love LOVE the idea of a simply stripped-down, un-f–ked #FireFox

I love that it was able to use Sync and pull all my saved stuff directly from mozilla.

My only complaint is that LibreWolf demands to be pro-bono libre volunteers; they won’t shut up and take my money!

I still contribute monthly to FF; I pretend it’s to fund upstream development.
