Can't even join the Google mailing list its so fucking stupid and embarrassing Bitcoin works like this
Discussion
incredibly lame
Why can't you join the list?
You need to learn padawan.
Only jedi can enter in the mailing list.
🤣 😂
(joke aside, i agree #nostr is the place where debate should be and uncensored). And i applause when each side came here to explain their point of view. nostr:nprofile1qy08wumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wshsz8thwden5te0dehhxarj9e3xjarrda5kuetj9eek7cmfv9kz7qpq7u5dneh8qjp43ecfxr6u5e9sjamsmxyuekrg2nlxrrk6nj9rsyrquyd27a nostr:nprofile1qyfhwue69uhhyetvv9uju6nzx56jucm0d5qs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dsqzqvhpsfmr23gwhv795lgjc8uw0v44z3pe4sg2vlh08k0an3wx3cj96l2ln2 ... all should come here to explain publicly "why they have/keep/change their position ?"
Because #bitcoin is not only miner, is not only devs, is not ony nodes.
It is just a common work to keep the network alive.
It's embarrassing they went back to Google after being banned.
I don't think people want to be there, but what is the alternative? Needs to support email signup, get through email client spam filters, and have some small amount of moderation.
I have often wondered what a bitcoin mailing list relay would look like. Perhaps ASCII only. Integrate with a mail server or email service. Whitelisted accounts.
Mods can delete notes, lock threads, etc. It only impacts the bitcoin dev relay. If you want to reply to a post on a different relay no one can stop you. Client settings control which relays to look at.
I've imagined similar. A plug and play mailing list relay anyone can run, but centrally gated. Almost like a relay federation. Whitelisted npubs. Note sharing. Of course with nostr anyone could reply to the notes on their own relay, but one could filter to viewing the gated relay to eliminate Sybil.
Yep and plug the gated relay in to the mailing list. Viola, we have a better system. It's just a matter of inertia after that.
Why does it need to support email signup? I don't think the mailing list actually wants to use email as their discussion interface.
I has the least friction of entry. Everybody has an email client. Few have nostr clients. It is integrated in countless hacker tools and familiar to everybody.
Vibe code the solutions! 🤣🫂💜
