Ridiculous, and there’s no appealing it either. Now if I want to check out my niche communities I need to load Reddit in a private tab with a VPN to scroll around my “inactive” account, but I never comment.

Got banned for harassing mods because I was asking why I got banned automatically for participating in a different subreddit. As soon as I sent my second request asking why I was banned, I got permabanned.

Don’t worry, this is a Dutch instance, we mostly speak English at C1, C2 proficiency, except when autocorrect is in the game.

Great job, you fixed an autocorrect error. I hope your waste of half a minute was worth it to add nothing to anyone’s life.

I’ve had a million people in monster trucks tell me to buy one, you’re point is BS.

It’s made out of the element, silicon, hence the name.

I believe silicone is its own natural material, not plastic

Thank god, they flamed the crap out of me a couple of days ago, I thought this was what Lemmy was turning into and considered actually leaving.

So, because this shitty thing happens to one gender you think “let’s subject the other gender to that too” Because in your eyes the world would be better if the problems are doubled.

Thanks for making this all about yourself and your gender! Damn I’ve never seen anyone this insecure about the problems of their gender NOT being the main focus for once.

Okay, that is a very real possibility, I didn’t even think about IBS

It’s just a spray of water, it doesn’t go on or in your butt

An Allo Allo reference, listen very carefully, I love it

Copyright is something legal, so as long as the law is out of date, there’s no support for digital copyright transfers. But ownership and authenticity is certainly transferable.

Anything better than the “you’ll own nothing and enjoy it” state of the internet today. It’d be amazing to own my movies and be able to transfer them to anyone I want.

Good anecdotal evidence, the numbers are against you

The hell you gonna use a painting for then? Like it or not, there’s physical art and digital art. Both are easy to copy, so it’s good to have an easy way to indicate ownership of an original.

Why does anyone pay for art when they can just copy paste it? Why do people pay for an original when a copy is just as good? Do you just not understand the concept of digital ownership? It doesn’t even have to be something like art, you could own one of a million copies of a movie and the token gives you cryptographic proof that you’re allowed to watch and sell this movie to others.

The receipt still never decays, link rot is pretty useless when the token just says “This art/media/object belongs to this person” as long as the art/media/object still exists the token is proof of who actually owns it and (hopefully in the future) who owns the rights to it.

If the NFT site goes down you still have your NFT registered on a publicly accessible verification chain. Anyone with or without original NFT site can see you own something.

I get that it’s new and I get that it’s scary when such big technological changes are made and people are testing them out in the real world but they’re here to stay. They’ve proven to be quite useful to people who got into them because of the ridiculous digital art NFT price speculation trend.

Turns out, the receipts are basically as bullet proof as a torrent, seeded by a couple of million people. That’s why decentralisation is so nice, you’re on Lemmy, I assume you understand.

You pay for something and get a receipt. You get ownership of an original image, such as a painting, transferred by a verified owner or creator. It’s mostly used for art now because the reputation hasn’t matured enough for an authority to link it to a physical item. But being able to own a 1 in 5 Nike release with a receipt that never decays and that you can transfer to others and verify the authenticity of on your phone just seems like the next step in ownership. Same with video games, for example, it’d allow a true second hand digital games market if game ownership was verified by owning a copy on a blockchain.

Yet millions of people use receipts constantly.

Can’t have a basement though

Not in the part that’s under sea level. Can’t have basements there either
