@rysiek some of the criticisms seem legit and still pose challenges. And it got a pretty good boost from the birdsite imploding. But Iām glad to see it still going and slowly improving. So nice to have a non commercial social media space!

@chrisp @rysiek tons of people from latin america use bitcoin for international remittances. There are places all over for it when I used to live in Miami.

@sun @chrisp @rysiek eh I would argue it's usage is overhyped in the media. Not saying it isn't a thing but I can see a huge demographic of it's users being expats or having some ties to the U.S. Despite El Salvador recognizing Bitcoin as currency it's never reached mass adoption as advertised. Bitcoin shilling in latinam is a apart of an attempt to establish ZEDEs in various countries. The locals despise them. Countries relying on remittances in their local economy need a stable avenue to send money back home.

@subnetter @chrisp @rysiek that's accurate, it's not being used as a currency and it's not being used by everyone, but it's enough to say it's useful for something.

@subnetter @chrisp @rysiek @sun back when Milei won the elections some people were curious so I made a video talking about exchange restrictions, among other things. most of the information on those videos does not reflect the current situation anymore, but it is what made crypto somewhat popular here, for different reasons and applicationsIf you want:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJ9yUUY2Pw4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pe8IFUeIkFI

@RoyHorace @mxchara @rysiek I think its George Takei's social media team rather than him directly, but one thing I've noticed since 2017 is whilst I was initially one of the oldest on my Fedi group, now there are *many* folk on Fedi easily old enough to be my parents (and I'm 54!) and a lot who aren't from tech backgrounds, which shows the network has become accessible and usable for older people..

@vfrmedia @RoyHorace @mxchara @rysiek I suppose that includes me. I'm 71 and although I have worked extensively with computers during my career, IT was never part of my core job. I do have a very early paper published where I'm a joint author on the development of an HTML 'database' which I'm proud to say has now morphed into a fully maintained international web resource. Does that make me techie? š¤š

@rysiek A platform's success is now measured by the tech press in terms of exponential growth only. If you don't double or quadruple in size every year, you're doomed, dying or already dead. Stable isn't enough, even for things not designed to be for profit.

@Rycochet @rysiek My garden is completely off the radar of the mainstream agricultural media here.We have the same number of potato beds every year. We produce about the same amount of potatoes each year, enough to feed us from August to April.The potatoes it produces taste better than the ones in the shops.Systems, such as our vegetable garden or Mastodon do not need to be visible to the rest of the world for them to be of use.They still sustain us. Which is all that matters.
