nothing has ever stopped anyone from running a network fork with no staking requirement, it has always been supported but there has never been enough interest for it to materialize. I wish someone would step up but no one has yet.

the reward aspect sure did grow the network to be large in a short time and you can't have that with no skin in the game.

mitigating state sponsored actors was never in the threat model it was actually an explicit non goal.

country is just rap for white people.

!!! DOUBLE YOUR BITCOINS !!!

lmao

i personally dont trust apple enough to think they'd continue to do this in a competent fashion. apple has the worst track record with security than any other tech company.

One can run relays without a staking requirement on a network fork but there was never enough interest for it to materialize. Like it or not the coin stuff worked and it funds the development.

Building a network from zero is not as easy as you think, especially when the entire community you are trying to woo is by default skeptical of everything the devs do.

... unless you are using tor's transparent proxy feature.

tor browser is free too, you are the product. :^)

same, the mix is.... eh.

ramble, irc, exit.loki. that's about it.

gab is run by total fuckups more news at 11

apple is far worse than google and facebook when it comes to maligning tools that actively enable privacy. this is just their way of signaling virtue.

anti censorship is the default position.

there is no "anti censorship community" but there is a pro-censorship lobby.

wrong direction

looks like the spam was coming from tor, it has subsided.

Tech Literacy Watchdog rates spyware watchdog as: "mentally fucking retarded"

TechLit Level: mentally fucking retarded

Spyware watchdog is retarded and all associated ratings are fucking stupid. The site states and omits facts and context while framing themselves as an authority. It's at best a good troll but at worst a misinformed opinion with a very politically aligned definition of what is spyware and what is not.

ignorance

would hate to be a criminal in indiana.

the ass was fat

inb4 being fat is a part of my sexual identity! don't oppress me >:[
