PropaGandalfSure but maybe something less centralized/open would be preferable
nitefoxIs “decentralised” the new “blockchain”?
ellesperWell, no. Unlike the blockchain, decentralized platforms aren’t snake oil.
This explains nothing about the issue. It’s literally saying “one thing is bad, the other thing isn’t”. Try to explain why instead, if you do happen to have an explanation.
Why are the Lemmy devs asking for snake oil on their Donate page then?
Sitting comfy in a country where the financial system works for you elites is the real snake oil.
HeavenAndHell…what are you even talking about? Your sentence makes zero sense.
100% of the crypto hate I see is from citizens of neocolonial states. You lord your control of the financial system over us and when something threatens it, it’s always delegitimised for any number of reasons.
Take your pick: scam, destroying the environment, eroding state power etc.
A decentralised system/society will need a value layer to transact. You think Visa should be in control of that?
Just because you’re smart at writing code doesn’t mean you’re smart at other things :) Or more likely, maybe they’re ideology-driven than by practicality.
Lemmy is an unusual but fortunate example of where ideology and practicality line up.
If you can find an entire nation state that runs on crypto currency with a functional, stable economy, I’ll eat my words.
Why would I want a nation state to run on anything? The end of the nation state is the communist utopia!
I am for whatever erodes the illegitimate violence exerted by nation states to safeguard their parasitic domain. If it’s crypto, it’s crypto. If people not eating apples brought about their end, I would be out there burning orchards.
