I was thinking about it, btw. Blockchain is perfect for social media.
Which is a public facing anyway.
Why not totally transparent?
Rather than monopolised by a siongle set of actors.
there are many publishers who will be deplatformed
that would be perfectly acceptable clients for the existing banking system
and would probably not lose traditional payment processing
the censorship comes from a small group of relatively new companies
Banks don't deal with lots of people, including (especially) crypto startups.
it depends
But they've managed to work around that.
you have to be pretty far out there to really attract the attention of mastercard or visa
As has the porn industry.
sometimes the censorship is coming from a massive company like Mastercard.
in rare cases, yes
Far out there like, possibly, Sargon?
if Mastercard demands that a small payment processor give someone the boot or else have their business destroyed, they will.
I doubt sargon is worth MCs time
What you don't understand is that Sargon has not been attacked because he's far out there. He has been attacked because he's not.
what you don't understand, is that I am not interested in propping up these new tech companies
Sargon has been attacked?
Financially.
We need patreon for right wingers
If Tim is cut how will we pay him
I don't pay
this is what I would like to see -
I would like to see Sargon set up his own, individual infrastructure
like any small business
and make patreon irrelevant
sargon can
yes, of course
as can most
Sargon is not based in the US.
I realize this
Neither are most of us.
he'll need to sort that out
regarding right-wing patreon, cody wilson set up hatreon
it was deplatformed
And most of this censorship is happening *in the US*, at the behest of American monopolies.
Look, nobody is going to send Sargon a void check.
have people donate to him through UKIP, they can't block that cuz it would be political banking?
when you build a platform and put all the problematic people on it, you attract trouble
I'm not letting anyone directly debit my bank account.
And I'd guess that 99% of people agree
so don't
