I’m simply always away. It’s less misleading than being randomly away because I do actual work and am not glued to the computer.

Maybe I just don’t get banned enough

You may also interact with countless bots without ever knowing, because creating fake identities is free.

I really don’t care about loosing my identity

Fair, some people value their identity.

how decentralized is it when your identity is “centralized” in your key pair?

For average people nothing changes, the app can hold their key for them and even offer email recovery.

On top of that so many people regularly change their display names on social media for vanity and expression purposes that I can’t reliably use them anyways for recognizing accounts.

That’s something having signatures and a web of trust solves.

Besides, you fail to see another problem: Whichever centralized, federated site you use can manipulate anything you read and publish.

Anyway, if you don’t see a need for tools like nostr you don’t need them.

Somebody takes out the lemmy.world server and your identity is gone. So decentralized, lol.

The future is decentralized, not federated. That’s why I’m on nostr, even if it doesn’t deliver yet.

Like I said, privileged people who don’t think that bitcoin is useful.

It’s not surprising tbh. Most millionaires like Linus or tech people in general have so much money that the problems of the financial system don’t impact their lives.

Torvalds also dismissed the idea of technological singularity as a bedtime story for children, saying continuous exponential growth does not make sense.

Continuous exponential growth is actually something our financial system was DESIGNED FOR. It it makes no sense our inflationary money makes no sense.

worked fine for millennia without inflationary money

That means until the early 1900s or 1970s when inflation went into overdrive.

our current population boom

Huh what?

deflationary economies are terrible for everyone

That’s a myth spread by modern monetary theorists because they only understand the economy from an inflationary perspective. Economies worked fine for millennia without inflationary money.

I’d love to see any evidence or logical arguments that an inflationary economy is worse than a deflationary one.

Don’t you understand that artificially induced unlimited growth is bad? It’s not about inflation or deflation, but the outcome.

The main task of the ECB is to maintain price stability. The ECB’s Governing Council considers that price stability is best maintained by aiming for 2% over the medium term. Price stability creates conditions for more stable economic growth

Crypto is literally just machines wasting energy on purpose to create false scarcity

A monetary system that is designed to lead to eternal, cancerous growth through intentionally inflating the money supply is far worse.

Same here, have been trying wayland for more than a decade…

Worse than getting information from multiple sources.

The problem with wikipedia is that people expect it to be neutral but on many topics it is far from that. It’s probably better to find a biased source where you know and account for the bias. Any “conservative” or “progressive” source where you know the bias is more reliable, at least you know which way they are leaning on all topics. And never trust a single source anyway.

Trust but verify my dude.

You have a weird definition of trust.

Quality contribution

So you know there is wrong information on wikipedia, but you still trust it as a primary source? That says a lot about you.

What isn’t what who said?

It isn’t, Wikipedia is about as trustworthy as any other random source.

Sounds like a sensible proposal, by domain or by tld.

Bitcoin is by definition controlled by those who have the power and thus the money to mine

This is actually 100% wrong, miners are not in control, they depend on the users of the network. This has been demonstrated during the block size conflict where miners tried to get their way and couldn’t.
