Re: Communication channels

 

My personal take is that while I'm happy to answer questions and help out people on Reddit, I'm not a huge fan of that site. I know it's very widely used in the cryptocurrency community and I have no special ability nor inclination to dictate what are good communication platforms for our particular community. All I can do is try to influence.

So I'm hoping we can find something a lot more inclusive and tolerant, and a little less focused on attention-grabbing than what Reddit promotes.

You have free speech online due to your ability to create your own virtual property and do what you want with it, not because a benevolent overlord is allowing you to post any content onto their virtual property.

I noticed that /r/mimblewimble and /r/grin are controlled by /u/BashCo who also moderates /r/bitcoin.  Given how poorly the /r/Bitcoin subreddit has been censored I believe it is of upmost importance to get these subs in the hands of people we trust to ensure free speech.
