Crypto? no. NFTs? yeah pretty much.
Bored Apes have dropped around 3/4 of their value over the past year. They’re still worth over $60,000, but anyone that bought them, or any other NFT, over the past year has taken a massive hit.
The real question is whether NFT prices will cycle with bitcoin when crypto prices spike back up or not. Crypto has always had crazy peaks and dumps, and that pattern will probably continue, but I think NFTs are just going to go to zero. There’s no real reason for crypto, so speculating on a thing that has no value that’s based on a thing that has no value is real dumb.
For real guys, we need a better way to debate, propose and vote on de-federation.
I have supported Discord with a nitro subscription for as long as I’ve had an account. It’s a terrific program and there’s no reason to expect premium features for nothing in return. The mentality that everything should be free is why we have so many fucking ad driven online business models and I’m over it. I pay for what I use if it’s a good service.
Wikipedia is a different concept though.
This is social media. Wiki is information. I come here to share thoughts, but I only go to wiki to find data.
Almost everyone on social media posts random bullshit. That’s why there are tons and tons of comments on every post.
Things like reddit and Lemmy probably have at least 50% participation from their daily active users.
I posed this question to the admins a while back. How does the community officially suggest instances to defederate. How do we vote on those choices? Where is the process?
This was during the lemmy.online thing, where that instance (which no longer exists) created a bot to basic just crawl reddit and duplicate posts to their instance. I immediately told the instance admin that they should stop and I asked the admins where the process was to submit a de-federation request.
All I got was a bunch of BS from users about how de-federation should be something we don’t take lightly, blah blah blah, but all I was asking was where the process is. How are we even partaking in a system that’s so ripe for admin abuse?
The lemmy.world admins aren’t malicious… they’re just in over their heads. They’ve struggled with the technical side of running the service and they haven’t built out some of the social tools that an instance this side needs. Hopefully they mature quickly.
