they don't even accept crypto, it's their payment processor. You might as well get mad that they accept chinese yuan or iranian rial

If Mozilla used diamonds mined in Africa by child labor as a payment processor, would that be ok? They don't accept the diamonds, they're instantly converted into USD.
I don't think the issue is necessarily just that they accept crypto, but rather that they pretend to be this holier than thou company, that cares about every social justice topic possible, while partaking in the shittiest tech that has been incredibly damaging in numerous ways.
For example I don't give 2 shits if Gab uses crypto, because they're not self-righteous pieces of shit. I mean... they are pieces of shit, but just in other ways.

Environmental nightmare and a massive disruption of the chip market (and not in a good way).
@TheAncestor @fluffy
That's the disruption of the chip market I was talking about. Just saying it affected GPU prices is a massive understatement, cause it ultimately affected the price of everything with a silicon chip to some degree.
@TheAncestor @fluffy
It's kinda a shame, cause the technology itself is very ingenious. But instead of actually refining it, to where it would be a good, practical, economical alternative to usual currency, everybody basically jumped on the prototype.
The way I see it, it's like the world would try to run cars on crude oil and then defend the practice.
Should've stayed with steam IMO
