That’s what I suspect

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.

The weakest part of any secure system.

The average American is a fucking idiot and half of them are dumber than that

Right next to their iq

Yeah that’s the way to do it. I run !news_summary@hilariouschaos.com so I’d like to think I know what I’m talking about.

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.

Well I’m sure u would love this then !news_summary@hilariouschaos.com

How does one get ones hands on a cold wallet?

Yeah we need to account for time dilation but since op doesn’t specify this it would break GPS.

I like htmx cos ur entire application state is in one place.

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

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.

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

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.

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