It has value because it can be exchanged for dollars. It originally could be exchanged for dollars because people believed in it the same as a God. It is a simulacrum of dollars that became hyperreal.

I have less of an issue with individual communities banning certain links, I think an instance-wide ban on anything due to ideology is annoying. I can figure out that Nazis suck on my own, thank you.

That kind of things is part of the reason I came to Lemmy.

Are there other sites to which links are banned? I don't really like that policy for anything no matter how nefarious. Unless it's malware or a liability and going to land the visitor in prison.

Elon was named after a town in a scifi book written by a Nazi rocket scientist recruited through Operation Paperclip https://www.mind-war.com/p/the-elon-how-a-nazi-rocket-scientist It is weird that people don't mention this more.

Oh cool, I didn't realize they added that. I tried Mastadon a while ago and couldn't find anything interesting. I don't use any micro blogging apps.

I'm pretty sure Bluesky has hashtags. Subscribing to a hashtag and muting someone temporarily is nice. I think the main feature Mastadon is missing is discovery algorithms. Most people use that heavily on social media, whether they admit they value it or not.

What features?

It has more features, and most people don't know why Mastadon might be better. The average person doesn't even know what a server is.

Holochain is an interesting option I haven't seen mentioned.

That's interesting, thank you. I'm still not sure it would be the same for them level of tax increase public healthcare would require, but maybe you're right.
