I'm not understanding how doxxing your phone number, verifying your ID, a photo of your face, and whatever else is being implemented in future gulags for several differing, incompatible and pre algo'd social media apps is more difficult than generating an nsec, and then just plugging in to the varying windows open protocols provide based on individual needs.
Must be the ad revenue... Or I'm just a masochist for "complexity" to the majority chud. 🤔🤷
No, no, you make a good point.
It's similar to the Bitcoin energy usage argument that nocoiners like to throw at us.
OK, Bitcoin uses energy. What about the legacy system?
How many kiloWatt-hours of electricity and therms of natural gas have been consumed by the legacy banks, ATMs, armored car services, etc.?
Email and internet dealt with the same thing. I bet the energy footprint of the postal system has decreased significantly, offsetting at least some of the energy usage of the internet.
Bitcoin has made me too an energy maxing supporter.
The masses know how to give up their sovereignty. Learning to preserve it is a new skill that must be learned. Anything new is a bridge too far for the majority of society.
I'm not even trying to be a purist or whatever. I've signed up for some of that shit to interact with people in my life. Maybe whatever that appeals to me isn't there, so I just see the aggravation of it all.
Honestly makes my sympathetic to the reluctance the few I've told about this space exhibit whenever I go off on some tangent about how kewl it is you don't need an "identity" to sign up.
Stability and comfort are the opiates of the masses. It’s disheartening for sure.
I doxxed myself a few years ago cuz, come and fucking get me bitches. I have no family, so noone to suffer from my war against these demon fucks. But I understand those who need or desire to be anon 🫡
