no worries.. i was going to create a personal finance one but ended up doing that elsewhere.
To get the form I simply go to $URL/create_community. That form still renders.
Removing the button but leaving the webform & yet making the form submission fail to prevent community creation reminds me of Office Space, where Melvin (or Marvin.. forgot his name) got moved to the basement then was later sacked but no one told him. Then payroll had a glitch where they kept paying him. And when they figured it all out, their fix was to just /fix the payroll glitch/. So when someone fills out that create community form, it’s like Melvin showing up to work to do some labor not knowing that the labor wouldn’t pay off. I’ve experienced this before a few times in different situations in Lemmy where you do some labor on a form then it’s just tossed.
I will never endorse nor recommend cryptocurrency as a sound investment.
Cryptocurrency was not supposed to be an “investment” in the first place. Like they say in Europe “if you treat houses like stocks, they will behave like stocks”.
Anyway, I could almost agree with you on the /investment/ comment, but then you said “never”. Consider fiat money. GBP may be a sound investment to diversify and hedge against USD or EUR. But things change. Maybe one day the GBP becomes very unstable (as btc is today). Would you then at that moment say “I will never endorse nor recommend GBP as a sound investment”? It’s a sound investment when it’s stable, and a dicey investment when not stable.
The article of the thread does not propose cryptocurrency /as an investment/. This is about cryptocurrency as an alternative to (unethical) banks. When you oppose the only alternative to unethical banks (considering the future of cash is endangered & bartering is impractical & unscalable), you effectively endorse unethical banks.
cryptocurrency is one of the largest scams of our modern time
That’s like saying “cheques are a scam” or “wire transfers are a scam”. They are certainly not a scam. But scams can be designed that exploit weaknesses in any of the three instruments (cheques, wire transfers, cryptocurrency transactions).
