A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
Rules
The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World's rules. You can click the link but we've reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn't a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.
1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.
A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn't rulebreaking and we can't be supportive to them then we probably shouldn't engage.
B. No illegal content.
C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.
D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.
E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.
2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.
Formatting
Please include this following format in your post:
[link text](/c/community@instance.com)
This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't
You should also include either:
or instance.com/c/community
FAQ:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

MODERATORS
You are talking about "crypto", which implies that you are talking about different blockchains, including Bitcoin and all other blockchains that rely on Proof-of-Work.
My figures are specific to the Ethereum blockchain, which is used to control transactions in Ether and many other cryptocurrencies (look for "ERC20 token standard", if you care to understand), including stablecoins that have its value anchored to different "real currencies" like USD, EUR, GBP... The Ethereum blockchain uses Proof-of-Stake and does not require "burning energy" to keep the network secure.
FWIW, I'm all for banning all blockchains based on Proof of Work, or at the very least adding a prohibitively expensive tax for every transaction done by a centralized exchange. This would be more than enough to kill Bitcoin or force them to clean up their act and switch their consensus system.
I dunno man, I just don't consider Libertarians or AnCaps to be revolutionary. Sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And no one with a minimum sense of morality cares about the labels or how they identify themselves. As long as their value system is not misrepresented, you can call them whatever you want.
Friend, you're the one that started this off by putting other people down for not having the same value system as you. I wasn't even going to comment in this thread...
Edit: Like I actually think OP seems to be forthright in creating a good community. They've suggested to use existing escrow services to ensure integrity. I like them. However you seem like the kind of person I was worried OP might be.
