  Balls means frequency which also happens to have the same units as revolutions so I guess its a real ball twister

  Zombie has a good point I don’t got any qualms with it. I will point out that I do find the irony of the left ignoring the science and being willfully ignorant of the truth purely for the purposes of political gain is somewhat entertaining and somewhat very sad.

  I am please elaborate

  That’s how a corporate culling works u cull more than u think then u bring back the bits u need.

  So u had this ready to go and still posted the misinformation? Your are too busy shouting ur misinformation in a politically and arguably racially motivated attack (ur original cartoon is a stereotypical white trash depiction) to realise your are the very thing u swore to destroy. You are doing exactly what the maga supporters are you are just as bad. U have no moral heigh ground all u have is a very severe case of itsokwhenidoitism.

  So trump has done a better job educating the maga morons on the issue than biden? Cos that seems like what ur cartoon is implying.

  People talking about the price of eggs really shows how uninformed and ignorant your are. Eggs are expensive because millions of chickens where killed due to bird flue nothing to do with politics or economic policy.

  The thing about fedi is how do u stop it. Ban every instances ip? make it illegal to use? They can try but they will have very little success.

  Well fuck the mastodonians their stupidity is no reason to make everyone else’s experience shitter.

  I’m really not happy about bluesky their fragmentation of the fediverse protocols is only going to harm us in the long run.

  Ur gonna hate what I say next but it is the solution to all the trust issues. Monero. U can use the transaction on the blockchain to verify payments, reviews, etc.

  I would suppose the instance gets a 1% cut of products sold on its platform incentivising it to be better than the other instances. U solve the adding fake reviews thing by a review requiring a transaction on the xmr blockchain u can solve the removing issue since anyone can prove that a review was removed in bad faith (obviously u want to retain the right to remove reviews with people saying awful shit).

  Since everything is federated u can design it so there is 0 cost to using a different instance hence an instance acting in bad faith will lose its 1% cut and thus gives it a strong incentive to behave.

  If u wanna get real creative u could do a system of federated logistics where u track items with cryptographic signatures. Each logistics actor signs for the product from the previous logistics actor until the original customer recieves the product at which point funds are released to vendor and delivery. This system would allow package tracking through a decentralised logistics systems (can assign fault for loss to the actor at fault) can allow actors to specialise for a location/route and take advantage of economies of scale.

  I have no issue with AI summaries but they need to be clearly marked as AI and not replace the goddamn subject line.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What Would a Fair and Community-Focused Monetization Model on the Fediverse Look Like?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think keep it donation based. Perhaps do a Lemmy gold where u can donate to boost a comment/post and said donation is split between content creator community instance etc.

  If u get scammed u report it and the escrow doesn’t release the funds to the seller. The technology is the same its just the application that differs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s quite a popular theory that the banks and even perhaps the us government itself played a part in promoting the crypto scams and nft bullshit simply to poison the idea of crypto for the masses.

  Please do look into it if u got any questions dont be afraid to ask !monero@monero.town

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Climate impact of monero is significantly less per transaction than any fiat. Their are no physical banks with employees and buildings and travel and transport and minting etc etc etc. Monero is the only truly private currencies all others have every transaction tracked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly xmr has been doing this for the markets on the dark web for years now. Escrow reviews ratings seller trust etc.

  I fear the idea of crypto has been so poisoned by scammers and bullshit that the average person had forgotten it actually has value

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think op sees us as exactly that. His thinktank. Isn’t that kinda the whole point of a social network?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a simple way to solve this. Make it so only people who have purchased the product can give reviews.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a solved issue. Monero escrow services have been doing exactly this for the dark web for years now

  I don’t have a static IP I just use a dynamic DNS. I don’t mess with self hosting fediverse cos I don’t wanna risk illegal content on my server tho.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Most crypto markets yes they are manipulated because their value is purely speculative and not tied to physical goods. Xmr is used extensively across the dark web tiring it to real world goods stabilising its value.

  U think the government or a bank should have the right to just freeze ur money whenever they want or feel like it? U want ur entire purchase history being sold to databrokers who will use it to profile you so they can sell u crap and up ur insurance rates to the maximum point possible.

  If u looked at my profile u would have noticed an Aussie flag so ur american argument doesn’t work.

  U still haven’t found a metric by which xmr is worse.
