MODERATORS
Definitely. A few months ago, there basically weren't any crytpo-bros on Lemmy. Now any time I say anything negative about crypto, about six of them jump out of the woodwork to give their big long spiel on "the useful use-cases for NFTs" which I just roll my eyes harder every fucking time over.
It's mainly you just have more trolls and aggressive people because we're beyond the initial group who was actually looking for more community. Admins/mods do a pretty good job of banning trolls, but not until after they've shitted up the place for a bit, usually.
Also, the nature of Lemmy means that someone who gets banned for spamming an article just goes and makes an account on a different instance and then just goes and makes the same post in the same communities literally minutes later.
Popularity is rising, the bad actors are coming. Oh well.
This seems to correlate with the sudden rise in promotion of the Brave browser I've been seeing here.
Yeah I don't trust anyone using that pedo browser. If I see that shit on their desktop they're not getting a second date.
Anyone here seen the folding ideas video?
It's a quality video, but I bowed out about halfway because I was already familiar with about 90% of the stuff he was discussing.
Great source for anyone looking for a good breakdown of the whole situation.
I usually just point to this quote from NFT co-creator Anil Dash:
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/04/nfts-werent-supposed-end-like/618488/
The limited number of bits in the blockchain is a massive limitation on doing anything functional outside of bookkeeping with the crypto on the blockchain. It's the most fundamental aspects of NFTs and it has been broken since Day One.
This is such a useful comment that I'm bookmarking this. I know that NFTs are flawed tech but I struggle to explain it well.
NFT's are like those companies who will offer to sell you a square foot of scotland so you can call yourself a lord.
I strongly suggest bookmarking the article as well, since that's where the quote came from.
Solid, I will.
Man one of them was trying to bring their crypto bullshit here and I fucking ripped their ass a new one. It's probably still sore to this day.
What are you on about? If anyone is interested, read my comment history
Edit: if we store the shitty pictures on blockchain, literally nothing changes, except a big and bulky blockchain. "I can just save the picture lmao" will still be the answer.. Are we supposed to store every software on blockchain too? I don't think it's viable
This article too is flawed
Positive and negative are qualitative and measures in this case.
Subjective ones at that.
