Hello everyone,
After a discussion on [email protected] ( https://feddit.org/post/6950586 ), a few people interested in privacy decided to reopen [email protected] as an alternative to [email protected] .
It’s also nice to have a privacy community on an instance that can be accessed via VPNs.
Feel free to join us there!
Hi, it’s against dbzer0’s rules.
There are less harmful and private ways to pay, too. Such as sending physical money directly to the service (like Mullvad) or if the service doesn’t accept it, something like GNU Taler.
Services that accept crypto are allowed but as db0 said, promoting crypto is banned. (you won’t get banned, just removed)
PS: Crypto is not private at all, the ledgers are public. Only Monero is.
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.
jfc, even his wallpaper??? lmao. thanks for sharing this, got a crack out of me
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
Crypto is banned on the instance in general, i have my own reasons for disliking it but if you get Db0’s approval i have no issue and will remove it. He created the rule, surely he has the reasons.
It’s harmful for the environment and [most] of them are public (excluding monero but the first point stands), i assume that’s Db0’s reasons.
Perhaps, but i’m bound by the instances rules.
This is the fediverse, you are not bound to an instance
The community itself is hosted on to dbzer0, so i kind of am (the rules of the community, you can praise monero outside the instances’ communities).
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.
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.
privacy@dbzer0 is just another community, if you don’t like it there’s 4 more privacy communities to choose from, that’s the magic of the fediverse :)
I’m not trying to consolidate all conversations to privacy@dbzer0, it’s supposed to be a community that solves the problems in the original fedigrow thread. If you don’t believe that they’re problems, then you are more than free to keep using [email protected], [email protected]. They’re all great :)
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!
… Besides ML, I should have specified 😂
There are some cool users over there tho :/ gonna miss them
Monero and ZCash. Everything else is the opposite of private.
