So #monero-offtopic hates free speech after all...

see topic. it's bound to libera.chat/policies

regardless of what the Monero project has, usage of Libera.Chat is bound to that ^ and previous channels were lost already

What happened here to prompt such a response? Did it get unhinged?

<ocean:nope.chat> troll spam campaign

Ah, wait, it was referring to that! Okay.

<plowsof:matrix.org> first message under a Libera OP after bridge K-line and warning -> kappa.lol/PUl1Sk

<plowsof:matrix.org> after the mute - remiliascarlet uses brain to send the same message here libera.monerologs.net/monero/20251105#c608161

^ and I ended up as collateral damage+bridge ofc

no surprise libera staff intervened

<ukoxles:matrix.org> What happened to thankfulfortoday?

<ukoxles:matrix.org> Where are they now?

<ukoxles:matrix.org> @not_thankful_for_today:matrix.org

<fellahin:matrix.org> What’s the best bridge/platform to acquire XMR using USDT on another chain e.g erc20, trc20

<henrycurve:matrix.org> @fellahin:matrix.org: kycnot.me/?categories=exchange

<fellahin:matrix.org> Thanks, and haveno is currently the best for XMR<>Fiat?

<henrycurve:matrix.org> @fellahin:matrix.org: Yes

<henrycurve:matrix.org> Haveno is the protocol

<henrycurve:matrix.org> retoswap.com is the most popular instance where you can start trading

<fellahin:matrix.org> Ah I see

<eddie:oblak.be> Lol at ZEC

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Frfr

<dufebo98> Does Monero’s P2P node communication use TLS-like encryption, or is it sent in plaintext?

<fellahin:matrix.org> If an Erc20 wallet A1 swaps funds via a bridge to Monero wallet M1

<fellahin:matrix.org> M1 then sends the XMR to M2

<fellahin:matrix.org> M2 then bridges the funds to erc20 wallet A2[... more lines follow, see mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/9NGGmsYKSkthQ1B2 ]

<ksilverstein:matrix.org> plowsof, could you kindly check our private chat room?

<ofrnxmr> @fellahin:matrix.org: The amount

ksilverstein , latest comment approved. if the user of the 8 year old account wants to appeal the Reddit ban, this can be done via reddit.com/appeals , hope this helps

<ksilverstein:matrix.org> plowsof: I don't get it. If I'm banned, how am I still able to log in and post?

<ksilverstein:matrix.org> The ban seemed to happen after I posted "Trump Pardons Binance Founder Changpeng Zhao" which received 112 upvotes, and it said the post was removed by Reddit's filters.

<ksilverstein:matrix.org> Does this make any sense??

<ksilverstein:matrix.org> plowsof, I filed appeal yesterday. Thanks. Any idea how long it takes to remove ban? Weeks? Months?

<ofrnxmr> Yes

<ofrnxmr> Also an option: never

<ksilverstein:matrix.org> Why?

<ofrnxmr> because reddit responds when they feel like it

<ofrnxmr> My account has been banned for years and the appeal was ignored

<ksilverstein:matrix.org> Do you mean Also an option never post or go there?

<ksilverstein:matrix.org> It just boggles my mind that users don't leave there en masse with all of Reddit's BS. They have zero power if users would just leave the platform.

<ofrnxmr> They dont use vpns

<ofrnxmr> @ksilverstein:matrix.org: i mean, "the acct might never be unbanned"

<ksilverstein:matrix.org> Yeah, you know, even before this hapened, I hated Reddit with a passion. I hope Apple/Amazon/Open AI etc continue to crawl their servers for info, suck up all their info for free and put them out of business.

<ksilverstein:matrix.org> When you are shadowbanned, is it normal for every single thing you've ever posted or commented on to be publicly wiped out as if it never existed? I thought shadowbanning means that your posts are just bannned going forward.

Mine just never appeared in the first place. I think it might've been from the very first message.

<aleenor:matrix.org> I remember hearing on a podcast some months ago that monero would be added to NEAR intents soon™. haven't heard anything since. does anyone know anything about this?

What?
