They’ll get you eventually. I wasn’t doing anything bad, never got into trouble, never spammed, etc. I was active in small Linux subs, helping people. One day, I was simply shadowbanned. Only thing I can think of is the use of a VPN.

It won’t happen if you are logged in, but it’s very likely that your account will be shadowbanned eventually.

It’s honestly a bit worrying. I’ve been noticing the same trend with cars, where the user has less and less control and knowledge of how their car works.

And I think, contrary to the apparent end goal (to simplify things), this makes everything extremely complex, and it’ll bite us in the ass.

I don’t get it. Can I tell it to move a file from one folder to the other? Can I ask it to give me a diff of two folders? Or tell me if files are missing from one folder? Can it keep a sync between folders? Last time I checked, it only answered a bunch of simple questions.

What can this thing do that they keep trying to push it so bad?

For countries where the currency is unstable, stable currency is a way to protect one’s savings.

Where I’m from, historically you’d save in USD. But in the last few years, the market has imposed dumb obstacles, like the paper notes being completely unblemished (something that isn’t even a thing in the US, as far as I’m aware). That’s where stablecoins have been useful for the locals.

Edit: This is an explanation, not an endorsement of crypto.
