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.

reply

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.

Thank you. By that definition, yes, I am indirectly enabling concealment of what you, not me, have labelled hypocrisy.

Ok you dont see posting pro bitcoin adoption content and virtue signalling that you are a BTC Maxi perhaps even claiming to be 'living on The Bitcoin Standard' but not actually using and showing that you are using Bitcoin to the maximum extent reasonably possible yourself, but rather, in reality minimising your use of it, and concealing this, as hypocrisy.

We seem to see what hypocrisy is, differently.

'The practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess; falseness.
An act or instance of such falseness.'
