From the article:
"Moving to the Fediverse
This tension between these communities and their host have, again, fueled more interest in the Fediverse as a decentralized refuge. A social network built on an open protocol can afford some host-agnosticism, and allow communities to persist even if individual hosts fail or start to abuse their power. Unfortunately, discussions of Reddit-like fediverse services Lemmy and Kbin on Reddit were colored by paranoia after the company banned users and subreddits related to these projects (reportedly due to “spam”). While these accounts and subreddits have been reinstated, the potential for censorship around such projects has made a Reddit exodus feel more urgently necessary, as we saw last fall when Twitter cracked down on discussions of its Fediverse-alternative, Mastodon."
It’s not easier than “posting cash.” Crypto is like using tokens at an arcade. I still use money but I have to convert that money into something stupid first. And then worry about my highly volatile leftovers.
Can we get a c/buttcoin please.
Yeah, please let’s keep the cryptoshit on reddit. We need c/buttcoin, where are you, u/AmericanScream?
ya no kidding
Imagine thinking that the Fediverse is allergic to crypto lmao. Lemmy literally has crypto addresses posted on their donation page. What kinda stuff are you huffing?
Posting cash is easier for us. For a company, it’s a mess to handle. Why not have options to pay by cash, cards and crypto since that will cover all users across the world?
