Bitcoiners learned nothing from the BitcoinTalk shitshowS.
We now have most flocking to a centralized Forum again for technical discussion. http://delvingbitcoin.org
Nothing against the maintainers, i appreciate the effort. But FFS, can we not use centralized sites?
THE BEST BITCOIN DISCUSSIONS WILL HAPPEN ON NOSTR
Does thermos still run bitcointalk?
maybe we need a couple forum-like clients for nostr?
Forum and mail
Hmm. What are you think for mail? Would mail just essentially be a DM client focused long formatted messages? Or would this be a completely different event kind?
Would probably be DMs yeah, I wanted a syntax for addressing specific relays for delivery, like mailing list relays. Could just be a UI thing, but the mailing list relay could also use that piece of To,Cc data to discard notes not meant for them.
I find this embarrasing honestly.
As a community that prides itself in fostering the Bitcoin ethos (At least that's the way I see it and personally action as such), after the exodus' we've seen over last year from reddit, to twitter and other centralised services, people wanted an alternative but they did not question why it happened in the first place. "Brilliant - Let's move from one centralised platform when these issues, to another centralised platform, with exactly the same issues!".
I saw a bunch of people move from Twitter to Rumble or Reddit to Mastadon.
Mastadon is prone to the exact same issues (more even, considering account data is attached to administration and that admin itself is even more scattered in the form of instances, which itself means we see smaller instance failures more often, but also means more people are more often affected).
As for Rumble, fast-forward a couple months and they've shutdown services in Brazil due to state pressure.
The people leading these moves had no forethought, at all. And again, those are just 2 high-profile examples. There are many more, and they're bound to hit a brick wall again.
By Mastadon I meant Reddit to Lemmy, but same issues go for mastadon for people who moved from Twitter.
I haven't been on, heard about, or even thought of bitcointalk since like 2013. What did I miss? 😏
1. they are n00bs obviously
2. probably it's being funded by oRdInAl scammers girding up for launching their new idiot fork
What would you use instead?
What's the fundamental difference between the forum and the existing (centralized) dev mailing lists, which have worked reasonably well for over a decade?
