@monerotalk this episode was quite a mess. Really wasted my time here trying to make up what the guest's claims really are. Doug was utterly unable to set the guest straight, and was unable to make him present some coherent train-of-thought arguments supporting his claims. The whole episode was a stream-of-consciousness style rambling coming from a seem-to-be deranged mind.
I expected better.
>as far as dendrite goes, we’re talking about using Tor & a degoogled phone without google push notifications.
I have been doing that for years now, kiddo. CalyxOS user of 2 years, here---before that I have used GrapheneOS. Both without microG or any other google play compatibility layers.
I use Element Android with Orbot proxy. It is pretty usable. I get notifications, a-Okay. Nothing to fearmonger about there.
If xmpp is really better than matrix, then you shouldn't be needing these "half-truth" videos to spread its use.
Anyways. Do what you gotta do.
@Saki I run whatever I want on my computers. Politicians can go pound sand.
@SoulReaver I am not the admin of the mitra.social network. You should ask @silverpill for that.
However, I would advise you to host your own mitra instance. It is quite easy to setup.
@moneromaxi @ShadowRebel I am guessing he hires a fiverr guy to do the dubs.. He should curb the enthusiasm a little.
>some BTC maxi protocol, next thing you know they will limit the number of users to 100 and cap post size to 10KB.
lol'd
@ShadowRebel in fact, I am posting these comments from my own mitra instance. It can play-nice with the lemmy instance of monero.town, since they all share the same ActivityPub protocol underneath.
No need for a newfangled protocol that tries to re-invent the wheel.
@ShadowRebel nostr might be cool and I do wish it would have more Monero people in there; but, mitra.social is already doing good things. It is ActivityPub compatible (thus federateable), it has baked-in Monero tips and subscriptions support, and it can work over tor + clearnet. Quite good for Monero people to be in.
>demonstrating that their funds (do not) originate from known (un-)lawful sources, without publicly revealing their entire transaction graph.
tbh, I am skeptical about how the current status quo of government apparatus defines the "lawful" and "unlawful." So, it is total obfuscation without compromises.
@simping4xmrchan it is quite /comfy/. I can sling my posts around the fediverse back from my own corner on the internet lol.
@simping4xmrchan the only ones that should be responsible for caring about the children are their parents. Let go of the nanny-state bullshit.
