    As a community, we should all abandon centralized servers and migrate to decentralized solutions. I’d support any decentralized system supporting privacy and anonymity, something that asks no personally identifying information such as phone number or email address. Something like Bastyon or Brighteon.io . Some attributes are below:

    • This solution is directly on a blockchain, has no corporation behind it, much like Monero.
    • Plus it’s got many of the features that Twitter or Lemmy has, we can set up private or public groups and memberships
    • No email address or phone number is required, so you can remain as anonymous as you choose.
    • There’s already a strong group of liberty-minded individuals. While they aren’t all crypto-savvy, they are predisposed to solutions benefiting privacy.
    • Adequate settings to block offensive speech, only controlled by the individual, so you can limit what you see, but not what I see.
    • Built-in design is the requirement for small amounts of PKOIN, the coin that powers the blockchain.

    This last bullet about requiring PKOIN has the effect of reducing spammers and trolls, but does not eliminate them entirely. While those desiring to have a megaphone and upload large amounts of data will have to pay, the average user posting photos, articles, and links to external sources normally have no cost. I’ve never needed to purchase PKOIN and have steadily posted links to articles of interest repeatedly.

      If you want to start a new community on Bastyon or Brighteon.io, go right ahead. There are other communities on reddit, matrix, Simplex, and individual posts on nostr. People gravitate towards the community that have other non-Monero accounts that suit their interests. IMO, if monero.town is defederated, people who use monero.town on lemmy are more likely to either return to reddit or move to matrix or nostr or simplex rather than try yet another new platform, but if you do succeed in getting people to join, I’ll happily at least look in on it to see what else the platform has to offer.

        i only use lemmy for monero.town

        re: federation, for now it helps keep the dpwnvote spam and random haters out. but they’re welcome too if we refed.

        my hope is that based admin will get us off cloudflare one fine day
