!privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com is under new management, feel free to join us there
Hello everyone,
After a discussion on !fedigrow@lemm.ee ( https://feddit.org/post/6950586 ), a few people interested in privacy decided to reopen !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com as an alternative to !privacy@lemmy.ml .
It's also nice to have a privacy community on an instance that can be accessed via VPNs.
Feel free to join us there!
What's the deal with VPNs? I noticed many instances don't work over VPN but didn't know where to ask.
Great, subbed, hope it goes well!
But I'm here?
It's only a click away!
Noooooopoopo
I'm deeply concerned about their anticrypto discussion stance. Digital fungible money is a key component of any privacy discussion.
Many privacy focused services accept payments in crypto, such as vpns, web hosting, email services, etc
Not being able to discuss this axis of digital exposure is antithetical to a healthy discourse about privacy.
Hi, it's against dbzer0's rules.
There are less harmful and private ways to pay, too. Such as sending physical money directly to the service (like Mullvad) or if the service doesn't accept it, something like GNU Taler.
Services that accept crypto are allowed but as db0 said, promoting crypto is banned. (you won't get banned, just removed)
PS: Crypto is not private at all, the ledgers are public. Only Monero is.
I've seen people on Lemmy promote Monero like they were getting paid to promote it, mentioning it in any thread they could squeeze it into the conversation.
Monero is the gold standard for that very reason.
I accept the policies of DBZer0, That's why I didn't start this discussion on their instance.
My core thesis still stands, a discussion about privacy must include all options, including private fungible digital money
Moving all of the privacy discussion to a place where the privacy discussion is limited to a subset of things that are private. It's probably not good for the privacy community
Monero and ZCash. Everything else is the opposite of private.
Hello @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com @unruffled@lemmy.dbzer0.com, could you please clarify?
From what I understood, promoting privacy services which allow to pay in crypto is OK, but not to promote cryptocurrencies themselves?
