I created !fucknfts - since no one's making a community to piss/diss/shit on NFTs yet
Fuck NFTs! - Lemmy.world
https://lemmy.world/c/fucknfts
(also I need mods because I'm not on keyboard all the time kekw)
Why would I want to join a sub for something I don’t like? I want positivity in my life, not hate
Are these things still a thing?
You're hired!
Maybe, for some people 🤷♀️
Less hate, more love.
"Piss, diss and shit" is one hell of a sales pitch.
No thank you though.
They’re literally an everyday part of software engineering on decentralized protocols. They got a bad rap with tech-illiterate people because of moonboi hype but they’ll ALWAYS be a part of decentralized software just like any other type of data created for specific uses.
^ The only person in this thread who actually knows what NFTs are
Does "fuck auctioning off digital media (particularly procedurally-generated .jpg files)" make it more clear? Screw artificial scarcity? Ignore/de-value digital real-estate?
I mean, of course procedurally-generated jpg files are worthless bullshit. I’m a serious crypto aficionado and I never once bought a single NFT because I knew they were just images that anyone could view.
NFT’s, as you’re describing them here, were just a money-laundering scheme. But that’s not what NFT’s actually are. They’re a representation in a system that something is 100% unique (or part of a limited quantity). Since software engineering’s entire purpose is to model real-life in software, this concept was an absolute inevitability.
The story: someone generated a bored ape then sold it to themself for a 1,000,000% profit in an attempt to launder the ETH that person gained through illicit means in the shitcoin trades. It’s a tale as old as currency itsself: Beanie babies, trading cards, collectible art, collectibles in general. People are degenerate gamblers but NFT’s are actually an innocent technology co-opted by moonbois. Same deal with crypto in general. Greedy people ruin the reputation of anything they touch (or trade rabidly in this case).
All crypto starts as a horribly inefficient, slow, expensive technology that gets worse the more people touch it.
NFTs are not the same as crypto. NFTs are a basic building block of decentralized network. You are assuming NFTs are only stupid pictures
Think of an NFT not being the item itself, but a receipt
Some people are gonna be so mad they paid a million bucks for a receipt.
What this guy said. All the JPGs started as a proof of concept/example. That wasn't the end goal!
I thought those things had gone the way of fidget spinners and pet rocks.
I was kind of hoping hate filled communities wouldn't be a thing on Lemmy. Sadly, everything's the same everywhere you go.
Clarification: I think NFTs are really stupid. I would even say I hate them. But I don't need a community based around hating something. No one should.
This was simply the first example of a "hate" community I've seen on Lemmy, so I spoke up.
You're gonna be offended on behalf of NFT's?

NFTs are just a pathetic and stupid attempt to preserve scarcity in a post-scarcity economy.
This is too much ignorance to pick apart. Thanks for revealing yourself to save me time later, I guess
Yes! Long live Ext4...
oh, NFT... Oops
Your late by like 2 years
The comments here have made me realize NFT's still need a snark sub. I'll join, you've got plenty of content here to start with.
Your car title is an NFT.
You use many NFTs throughout the day, even if you're unaware.
Better things to do tbh
Same, don't really see the point of filling my sub feed with something I dislike.
Right? They can’t be worth anything by now in this economy anyways so who cares
