Pump-and-dump schemes, fraud, ransomware, multi-level marketing, spam, incentivizing selfishness, greed, and general unethical behaviour, buying elections, quasi Nazis creating their own coins, et cetera. In my opinion, over the years the evidence has piled up tall enough to show that crypto"currencies" are an overal detriment to society.
It therefore surprised me to discover that behind the ♡ donation button on top of most Lemmy instances except for Beehaw, there is an option to donate “crypto”. This sets a bad example. Thoughts?
I don’t think Lemmy accepts pump-dump or nazi cryptos.
More likely they would accept some of the most famous and established ones. Like them more or like them less, but I don’t see reason to ban them. It’s not like paypal or any bank are angels.
