Even if bigger instances would block us too - it's not a problem, fuck them too. Isn't [one of] the point[s] of monero - resisting the censhorship (although individual instances blocking another instance is hardly a censure..)?
Freethought.online lol oxymoron or just moron?
That one gave me a laugh too. Good luck in your attempts to continue to express that free thought online moving forward into the future if you are relying on traditional finance to let you spend freely without censorship, surveillance and so forth, essentially crafting and directing thought and determining whether its expression will be free and placing limits on its reach.
I see a lot of people out there still blind to the walls closing in. And the "money masters" for lack of a better umbrella term - central banks, world governments, big finance, etc - are one of if not the main tools used in forwardance of that.
Those concerned about freedom of thought and freedom of expression ignore crypto at their own peril.
Good, less idiotic comments.
Sorry for the bad formatting, I was on mobile. But yeah, they all list reasons like "Crypto bullshit" or something so 🤷. Just interesting to see that so many instances have gone out of their way to block us.
Eh, not to bad. I recognize a couple of them, but the ones i recognize dont agree with our ethos and think "crypto bros" are all scammers and cant be convinced otherwise.
welcome to the fediverse enjoy your new redditors
Well, most people hearing crypto think about monkey jpegs, meme coins and all the other bullshit, so you can't really judge them for blocking (from their perspective) yet another crypto-bullshit site. We can't expect most people to do a research about every single "elonmuskcumrocketdogecoin" they encounter, but this is basically what they would need to do to understand how/why monero is different. The only way to change that is time (a very long time, maybe even decades) which works in favour of monero - all shitcoins eventually go to near-zero, BTC will be more and more seen as a purely speculative asset, BCH and other real cryptocurrencies (where real crypto = at least having a goal of being a digital cash and not the goal of being a proof-of-money-spent-on-monkey-jpegs) will probably stay, but people will always need private solutions too. In the meantime we should of course continue to improve monero both on the technical side and on the adoption side :)
