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
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
Windows, google, photoshop now all comes with AI. Are you going to avoid any product made with these? AI isn’t just a tool to generate a game with a click, it can offer all sort of feedback and tools, for example it could be used to change the color of a box without having to do it manually. Unless the whole process is documented you will not be able to tell if AI has been used or not.
Gabe Newell is infamously libertarian.
So libertarian he become a billionare thanks to a platform where you don’t own any of your games.
Valve ceo just added a $500 million mega yacht to his fleet. Valve true benefit is that thanks to window they managed to build a monopoly on videogames distribuition and that their customers are kids addicted to videogames.
I don’t love much how people fall from valve marketing. Not owning any game i buy would piss me off
seems like an unnecessary workload for an already busy team of developers
Personally i would consider releasing the game for consoles more unnecessary. I guess it all boils down to what your goals are
I personally think that Proton has ended the need for Linux-native builds
No, it’s only allowing people to patch up the problem
You should consider releasing native builds for linux and direct buying options
Hello, please consider releasing the game for linux
So, how does this dynamic shift?
One key point is to break conformism. People were and are brainwashed to hate “communism” on top of being brainwashed to conform to society. To hate the enemy is a recurring theme in the system, in our case it takes the form of communists but it can be anything else.
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.
