Is it now the stance of @ek and @Scoresby and Stacker News as a whole, that content consumers cannot reasonably expect to have any way of verifying that content providers who frequently post Bitcoin/Ln related content are acting in a way consistent with their rhetoric by attaching and showing attached LN wallets?
I want to emphasize due to apparent misunderstanding from @Scoresby and others that I do not see any problem with people not interested in Bitcoin or newbies who may not be up to speed, to get and show attached LN wallet/s.
My gripe is with content providers who virtue signal strongly pro Bitcoin content but who refuse to attach LN wallets and thereby fail to maximise their use of and support for the LN.
I see this group as hypocrits and essentially hostile to the whole aim as I saw and understood of Stacker News which was to be a sats denominated V4V social media platform.
That's why I came here- to spend sats, and have them received as sats and get good honest content...and I do not believe I am alone in that.
If Stacker News has given up on building a sats denominated V4V platform it should be announced so that we are not operating under false understandings.
Stacker News info section on CCs calls CCs inferior to sats.
I agree with that definition.
The info section identifies them as primarily for those who are new to SNs or unable to attach a LN wallet.
If Stacker News offcial stance on this has changed let it be made official.
So-Is it now the stance of @ek and @Scoresby and Stacker News as a whole, that content consumers cannot reasonably expect to have any way of verifying that content providers who frequently post Bitcoin/Ln related content are acting in a way consistent with their rhetoric by attaching and showing attached LN wallets?
Question for you: did you downzap the top downzapped post in the list?
Probably did as you are clearly seeking to circumvent the silencing of the hypocrits and have not responded to my reasons for it in any credible way.
Thank you for voluntarily providing evidence to your ill intent.
I just zapped you 100 CCs - now you are infected.
Is not your damn business.
LOL only 666 sats for me?
already 14k sats from downzaps in rewards.
I've told you guys, fw all the CCs to SS. That means more rewards for you.
More than half of yesterday’s total downzaps were directed at stackers with attached wallets who disagreed with the reasoning behind the downzaps.
is the bot freaking out or just pure randomness?
If you have a well curated muted list, this setting make all those downzaps totally futile and more sats for you in rewards.
The downzapper is really dumb.
Yep, that's my setup!
Have no doubt about it! just enjoining watching the show for now.
No clue. We just know that disobedience is punishable by downzap
~lol... disobedience of what?
Of the commandment that one shall not criticize the holiest downzapper on SN.
lmao
We need to trigger him more. To let him dry.
let's try...
here is a trick:
Another one: every post you make, set fw 100% to SS. He will receive CCs and forced to use them.
No worry you will get sats from rewards.
deal
I looooove this free boost.
Making Darth's life contradictory, too, because now SN is a place to stack sats!
ONLY 10k?!ONLY 10k?!
... on this excellent gem (#1439667)
I'm so disappointed.
