For those trying to find a new home after Reddit decided to close their API and r/bitcoin went blank, let’s try see if we can make this our new home.
@steven @aakselrod Interesting seeing this pass by in my Mastodon feed because if your boost :)
I think some people downvote because they hate Bitcoin. Not me. I’ve been in Bitcoin for a long time. I am a believer. If you don’t like Bitcoin, then don’t hang out here.
So some people are downvoting this welcome post, without leaving any feedback… Can anyone elaborate on their downvotes?
IDK but it’s super rude lol. Even if you’re a centralized FED lover you should still support new users/subs coming to Lemmy. I can’t stand communism but I’m still upvoting posts just for the sake of spreading some Lemmy love!
Not really sure what communism has to do with this though 😅
LOL nothing at all, was just saying there’s plenty of commie posts in quite a few other Lemmy communities. Just saying whoever downvoted you is a dick – downvotes should only go to truly off-topic and/or toxic posts that break the community rules.
Lemmy’s lead devs are tankies. There are rumblings about forking it, and some instances defederate from the tankie ones.
r/bitcoin has six million followers. Way more than the entire threadiverse. Seek out communities you support. Avoid those you don’t, but talk of ‘forking’ is just dumb. It will bring development to a halt, mess up branding and complicate the message to #redditfugees.
No forking going on, just creating a place for people that want to get off reddit to have a place to post and read #bitcoin content… Not tryna force anything.
