Are you saying that people who come here and repeatedly virtue signal that they are BTC Maxis, for example claiming to be 'living on The Bitcoin Standard' and continually post pro adoption LN content have reasonable cause (on privacy grounds) to conceal whether they have attached LN wallets?

While content consumers who zap content with sats have no reasonable grounds to know the wallet status of such content providers?

Yes. And reasonable grounds to not use lightning. And more reasonable grounds to not use lightning on a niche website. And even more reasonable grounds to not use lightning on a niche website when it's cumbersome.

They have reasonable grounds to want to know a stacker's wallet status, but no reasonable grounds to know, or demand knowing, anything a stacker chooses to not reveal.

You do not see or care about the hypocrisy in content providers who constantly virtue signal about LN adoption but fail to attach or show LN wallets?

I came here under the impression it was a serious attempt to build a V4V platform denominated in BTC/sats...which was something I was happy to be a content consumer on.

Guess I was wrong.

Hypocrisy is not just tolerated here but actively enabled.

We tolerate all kinds here.

There is a difference between tolerating hypocrisy and actively enabling it.

actively enabling

This isn't a fair characterization of what's going on here. What is fair to say: I am not designing features to root out hypocrisy like I am not running around in a cape to stop crimes.

Allowing concealment of wallet status is enabling people to virtue signal about BTC/LN use and adoption while in reality concealing the fact that they are minimising their actual use of it here on SNs.

That is enabling hypocrisy.

Can you define what you mean by enabling? You may accept a broader definition than I would.

1 : to provide with the means or opportunity

2 : to make possible, practical, or easy

SNs is enabling users to conceal LN wallet status while virtue signalling that they are a BTC Maxi and posting content promoting Bitcoin use and adoption.

SNs is thus enabling the concealment of hypocrisy.
