I told someone who absolutely hates cryptocurrency (and banks, oddly) about getting tipped a few bucks for posting about a problem with a site not working with Tor.

She jokingly called me an influencer since I got paid for posting on social media, and influenced the website owner to look into the issue, so I conceded. I'm a social media influencer now. 🤣

Anyway, she's going to check it out, so I guess my point is that some of us are getting new people on here. People with radically different opinions.

If the new people don't stay, then at a minimum it's evidence that the tools for filtering out the bullshit and assholes need improvement. At worst, it means the only people attracted to open protocols are unhappy people who just want to 💩 on everyone to try to make themselves feel better.

Either way, this is independent of whether other social networks are any good.
