Something along the lines of a monthly donation model, perhaps with a nominal “pro” system. A badge to showing that you donate and how many years you’ve been donating (users can disable display of such badges if they want).

I could see XMR being less manipulated on a relative basis, but all of crypto is far far more manipulated than any fiat (even of small country of say 3 million people). Because rela currency reflect real economic activity that spans a broad range of use cases.

Yeah, I don’t believe in edgelord type stuff. You do want the government to be able to freeze the money of criminals and malicious oligarchs.

You don’t need Monero (or crypto) to solve the databroker issue. It’s a matter of expectations,vstandards and law enforcement. And you know that Monero won’t solve the data collection issue. The products you purchase aren’t on a blockchain platform and they interact with the real world, therefore you can make a dataset for tracking of them.

Don’t look at people’s profiles.

Don’t see why I need this to buy groceries. Shilling bags as I said originally.

I don’t believe in [1], crypto market are heavily manipulated.

[2] and [3] are not desirable in my view. Don’t forget, not everyone lives in the US and many people have experience and perspectives that likely you haven’t though of.

Shilling your bags as usual. Crypto-scammers are all so predictable.

Why in god’s name do you need monero to buy groceries or even computer parts?

This is largely just an interesting piece of trivia, but also somewhat notable because servers generally don’t federate content from before they were founded. So the older servers will have local copies of posts and comments from the early days of Lemmy.

This seems like a somewhat sane default, but it would be good if instances had the options to get all of the older historical posts as well. I don’t think it would make a big difference for say LW.

Try getting in touch with the admin of https://sopuli.xyz/. He is supposed to be from Finland.

I’ve seen that instance recommended for European users.

Good luck with your move! We need to get rid of American oligarch influence. They are corrupt, dishonest and lack humanity.

Will stuff that they don’t accept any old email address. Did they offer other major service providers (MS, Apple) of only Google?

Kazaa!

Yeah, this is what I am refering to. Wasn’t sure how to properly describe it. :)

You should run the common instance federation tool for your main communities.

Really need to give it a go.

I’ve been meaning to try Piefed for a while (heard some really interesting things about it).

A public forum (be it old school message boards, Reddit or Lemmy) is by definition not private. It’s more about the policies of a given platform; whether you do allow algorithmic content targeting and other schemes to “drive engagement”.

I honestly still don’t get what is meant by downvotes in this thread. To me this comes off as any opposition/critique is transphobic by default; not a viable perspective in my humble opinion.

Apologist of what? Transphobia? You are not justified in making such a statement.

By the same logic, would I be justified in labelling you an orientalist; a bearer of the “white [person’s] burden” (in the metaphorical sense)?

What do you mean by “the downvotes on this thread … [is a] … very good way to identify transphobic people”?

Which specific post is transphobic? Considering that you are asking for a major instance-wide ban campaign, you should expect people to question the criteria for the application of such bans.

You didn’t even provide a basic definition of your understanding what needs to be banned or what qualifies as “just asking questions”. Do you not see how this is completely unworkable?

I don’t support transphobia, but this sounds extremely aggressive and almost unworkable. Who gets to decide what qualifies as “thinly veiled transphobia”? or “transphobic dogwhistles” and what approach is used to disperse bans?

For example, in many countries some people who might be generally supportive of trans people (in the sense that they would want you to be the best version of yourself) might oppose inclusion of transwomen in natal-women’s spaces. Does this qualify for an automatic ban?

Some might claim this is transphobic, but my answer to that would be: How do you know? Do you speak the local language? Have you lived there? Do you have any knowledge about the region’s history? Do you know what the attitude of the local LGBT community is to the above-mentioned example?

We shouldn’t limit ourselves by the assumptions (and polemics) of a given region even if English is the lingua franca of the internet. A lot of people in the world speak English as second language.

Hopefully more people from lemmy.blahaj.zone can go through the general communities on lemmy.world and the like and report as many of those users as possible so they can be banned from their instance.

I would definitely oppose this without addressing specifically what qualifies as “transphobia” and what the specific policies are with regards to moderator actions. Otherwise this is just some rampage witchhunt against perceived enemies.
