      The article about it is certainly chock way the fuck full of buzzwords, but did little in the way of instilling in me any desire to actually use the thing… Also, where in the fuck are people coming up with these names nowadays? “Mastodon?Nostr?” What cumbersome, awkward bullshit.

    Crypto shit 🤣

    Seriously…this is a perfect example of a product that doesn’t need payments. What the fuck were they thinking. The lightning network is a steaming pile of shit

    I believe that cryptography and decentralization beats federalization and ICANN domain names as an end goal to a more decentralized internet. There’s already bridges between activity pub and nostr and they seem to play nice together. I can imagine a world in which it’s almost seamless between two or three decentralized & federated protocols.

    And to those that are upset that a few relays ask for or require crypto transactions, keep in mind that some mastodon/lemmy/activity pub servers demand payment and I’d be hard pressed to find one that doesn’t accepted crypto donations.
