Comment on America wants AI that doesn't care about misinformation, DEI, and climate change
TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 4 days agoDidn’t you hear about the scandals with Steam and Itch with traditional centralised payment processors? Decentralised payments like crypto are a method of solving that issue.
The steam/itch situation is a bit complicated. I think the organization behind that action has bad motivations, so it’s not the best example for the long term. My guess is that itch will update their NSFW policy to allow for some NSFW content, but not content that depicts truly heinous material.
The reason I would support that type of activism, to an extent, is that it was effective against Musk when he started turning twitter into a hellscape: freepress.net/…/stop_toxic_twitter_coalition_open…
it is the best example, because it clearly shows a big weakness of centralized digital payments that crypto does not have
itch can adjust their policy all they want if the payment processors will dictate what they can allow, and just say no at any time.

Only in the sense that crypto is an alternative payment method in the same way that pulling out is an alternative to condoms.
