There is a huge difference between moderation of posts on a platform and an authoritarian regime.... That's a long stretch, having a platform deleting something you posted that doesn't fit in, or is hatefull is something completely different from having an authoritarian regime going against you, if you have an authoritan regime then having something on a blockchain that can't be deleted is an extremely bad idea as well, that's another problem with that that I didn't see before, so thanks for that at least.
I don't think no censoring is a good thing, opens for a LOT of harassment.
The problem is that crypto is unregulated, the regulations are there for a reason, to stop things like ponzischemes and all the other things that already has happened that fucked people over. Maybe if they got regulated in some way, so that those things couldn't happen easily, as it is now, I would say no.
Well that being said I think for many of us being connected to and associated with people that spread obvious lies does not feel great. Like genocide denial, and general tankie-isms, for me personally at least someone that denies that fascist governments like Russia and China is something that is bad for us all, and especially for the Russian and Chinese people feels awfully close to hate speech to me at least. And I'm someone pretty much on the left fringe, I have no problem with communists, the problems are when they tip over into supporting Authocratic or Fascistic governments. And we're already being connected to it by many people off site as long as we don't defederate.
Just figured out the developer behind the jerboa application also is a genocide denier, it feels kind of really bad, I don't know it makes me feel really conflicted.
I nuked all my posts and comments as well.
Well, that kind of sounds like the normal rust propaganda, don't get me wrong, I do think the language is decent, it's just tiring to see so many people just buying into and parroting some weird claims like "it's rust, so it's secure"
Yeah that's what I thought, that they are scraping like NewPipe is, that usually breaks a couple of times a year when google is messing around with the page, but the developers are usually really quick and fixes it in a day or two so that it works again.
While I agree with you it will be sad to see some of the small communities I'm a part of die, maybe some of them will rescurrect, but I have my doubts on some of them, very niche stuff where it's hard to gather together people.
I've used sync for close to a decade, it is reddit on mobile for me, and now it will disappear, most likely I just won't log into reddit off my pc anymore.
I really wish that curseforge wasn't a thing, it just has made everything so much harder, they still have no linux version of their launcher, and the windows one is full of different tracking and stuff that makes it a real hassle to use. I do like modrinth a lot, but it's still a bit meager when it comes to stuff hosted there. I still use it when I can though :)
"We absolutely must ship what we said we would" Yeah right, everything else they have promised never led to anything, but this, this we have to push through :p
