I've seen people on Lemmy promote Monero like they were getting paid to promote it, mentioning it in any thread they could squeeze it into the conversation.
I forgot about the contents of some of those. An extra ironic message to a sex worker:
Monero is the gold standard for that very reason.
I accept the policies of DBZer0, That's why I didn't start this discussion on their instance.
My core thesis still stands, a discussion about privacy must include all options, including private fungible digital money
Moving all of the privacy discussion to a place where the privacy discussion is limited to a subset of things that are private. It's probably not good for the privacy community
This is the fediverse, you are not bound to an instance
We are here, on lemmy.world, redirecting people to the community on DBZer0. That is why I'm concerned
The discussion is about the right home for privacy discussions. I'm happy that privacy@dbzer0 exists, but I am disturbed that we are trying to consolidate all conversations to a community that does not allow all conversations.
To be honest in order to have a chance to offer a real alternative to [email protected], some consolidation is needed, otherwise the .ml community is just going to stay the one main community forever.
@[email protected], it seems like you are the last active mod on [email protected], would you be okay if I created a meta post there to suggest to lock it and redirect to [email protected] ?
Fine by me!
Thanks, will do that when I have some time
We'll make sure they come join us
LW has blocked [email protected], how do you think they'll react if people start asking "which VPN should I use to be anonymous and torrent"?
As I said in another comment, crypto can be discussed in another community.
Monero and ZCash. Everything else is the opposite of private.
