Comment on SimpleX Self-Host Script, Tutorial, on Monero Provider

Leave it to the cryptocurrency people to turn a simple tutorial into an ad.

I’m from the same Lemmy instance monero.town (technically a mod?) and can see your point. Initially I was vocal about perceived link-spamming, advertising this SimplifiedPrivacy thing; at least a few users there were/are feeling the same way, as you can see e.g. here. So please don’t lump crypto (esp. Monero) users as a single kind of people.

Like @leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone pointed out, some of info provided by this user (ShadowRebel) can be useful. Perhaps some people prefer a video to text. Monero users tend to respect freedom (of speech) and advertisement is not forbidden in Monero.town anyway. Perhaps you can understand that this does not mean “the cryptocurrency people” are the same.

So please don’t lump crypto (esp. Monero) users as a single kind of people.

I was expecting childish reactions when I shared this post. But that doesn’t matter, if only one user has benefited from it, it was well worth it.

Only two days and we already have at least two new servers:

  @ride I know the background: this info could be very useful, and you commented, “Even if not directly Monero-related, this draws attention to the community when such contributions come from here.”
  
  The problem is, !privacyguides@lemmy.one has a different set of rules than Monero.town does, explicitly stating:
  
  This is not the place for self-promotion if you are not listed on privacyguides.org. If you want to be listed, make a suggestion on our forum first.
  
  Hence, as you can see in monero.town/post/1085883 (you double-posted the same thing, too), a negative comment about this:
  
  I feel like this might count as self-promotion, given it’s mentioning a particular website, their GitHub, their running service, etc. Regardless, it is informative
  
  So @LWD@LWD@lemm.ee is not “childish”, even stating “it is informative.” But if the info is useful, we should follow the rules of !privacyguides@lemmy.one when (cross-)posting here; otherwise, Monero.town may look bad.
