The same way elon musk didn’t become the richest man in the world by working hard, twitter didn’t magically become the platform used by every politician in the world. One of the reason peoples still use twitter is because the representatives of their country use (and are told to use) it.
The fact that they all maintains a twitter account and did till now should make you think.
This is strong evidence that you are getting all fooled like idiots. You are talking below a thread about something elon musk said
Don’t get fooled about what politicians say and don’t give these idiots any visibility.
This rich guy is the richest man in the world thanks also to the business he does in europe. We are talking below a thread about something he said. You are getting fooled hard
yes, Lemmy being created by tankies, genocide deniers and tech bros is the reason why most servers are rife with misogyny and incel mentality. that’s why women don’t feel comfortable participating and most active members are men.
How do you know that most active members are men? To me it sound you are being sexist here and judging people by their posts. Also where have you seen rife misogyny? Lemmy community is quite open and there are different instances you can chose each with its policies.
the US is and still is a federal institution.
I don’t know much about US government but i believe the US president has some power over states granted by constitution. Bitcoin isn’t designed to have a president that can chose for others.
Your argument: lemmy is shit because its creators are communists and it isn’t decentralized because most of the traffic is on lemmy.world
BTC is and still is a decentralized project, a few actors gained a lot of power over the network but that is another story, similarly you could argue that a bunch of people run the finance world.
Bitcoin and ethereum blockchains are built to be open, public and decentralized. The difference between these and a bank could be compared to the difference between reddit and lemmy. Is reddit a scam? Perhaps not on a large scale but it has all the potential to become a scam once its executives decide to do so. Lemmy is not owned by a single person which makes it way more harder to “control”.

You can support lemmy by donating cryptocurrencies, they are not only used by scammers.
Most of crypto volume is done on bitcoin and ethereum network which are built to be less scammy than a bank. You could indeed argue that 99.9% of existing cryptocurrencies are scam because there are thousand existing projects that imitates bitcoin, similarly one could argue that 99.9% iphones copies are a scam
Why do they even need it to be that way?
so that they can surveil you
no phones = you cannot create a bank account
They cannot get rid of the caste system but can successfully surveil 90% of the population
15 years old you probably wouldn’t be here on lemmy
Your argument sounds like “pc are bads because of virus”
so much “user friendly”
A free and direct tip system that doesn’t force you to use credit cards would be quite useful
Having to deal with crypto means having to deal with crytpo bros
The internet was also a better place when people using it were more open minded
Gabe Newell is infamously libertarian.
So libertarian he become a billionare thanks to a platform where you don’t own any of your games.
Because they can control the narrative much better on X
