Comment on Why selfhosted social media protocols are hated ?

Sure; I’m saying that there are trigger words that are guaranteed to generate negative comments: blockchain, crypto, crypto currency, and Bitcoin.

You said that you can’t understand the negative feedback. I’m giving you one reason why you might be seeing it. Lemmy and Mastodon (the AP FediVerse in general) is not cryptocurrency-friendly. If you mention “Bitcoin” in the post, you’re going to get brigaded. If someone sniffs around on the repo documentation and sees the crypto link, they’ll mention it in the comments and you’ll get brigaded.

I agree crypto has a bad rep, which is why we’re not associating with it. Our goal is to replace both web2 and web3 socials with a p2p solution that actually scales to the masses. Using blockchain for some aspects of it might raise some eyebrows, but it’s worth it imo

  Naw, there are several good use cases for blockchain. Ask a blockchain hater how to implement an auditable change log, and they’ll re-invent blockchain and claim it’s not.
  
  I’m only saying: you specifically mentioned Bitcoin, and then later said design goals included cryptocurrency integration. I’m not opposed to crypto, conceptually - I’m just giving a possible reason why you may be garnering downvotes.

    you specifically mentioned Bitcoin I did not, I believe that was OP
    
    included cryptocurrency integration Only for things we believe web3 does better; such as name systems, uncensorable financial transaction

    Very probable! When replying, my client only lets me see the comment I’m replying to, so losing track of who said what is a common problem for me. I assumed you were OP because I didn’t think anyone else was advocating for Plebbit.
