Can you say nigger? Can you claim that the Holocaust is hoax? Can you make fun of retards, er I mean of genderfluid individuals?

The answer is yes.

I checked it out, cool concept but unfortunately the only cryptocurrency supported is BSV (Bitcoin fork created by Craig Wright, who claims to be the original creator of Bitcoin). Also it requires an external wallet service, that asks for your phone number and personal information. If they added some decent cryptocurrencies and local wallet it could be neat, but as it stands it's pretty useless IMO.

Thank you for testing it out. We are coin agnostic but only BSV fits in our use case as we need something allows sub-cent payments with nearly no fees and a stable protocol. This makes sense once you put crypto-tribalism aside.

The problem with most forums is that they are always aligned with whatever childish mentality of the moderator/owners.

True. That's why we don't micro-manage anything and even community mods cannot delete posts but only "detach" them from their communities. Your posts are always availabile until you decided to delete them.

    Clearly no. It's a discussion platform, not a porn site. Porn is not allowed at all.

    What about bdsm discussion?

    hey, let me ask you a question?

    why don't you get the fuck out of here and go coddle your piece of shit forum?

    [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    I donno man, paid communities of porn seems like a good fit. I like the tipping ability.

    Boardz is an ad-free

    Scam

    The difference is it's using the power of crypto micropayments

    Definitely a scam.

    Creating your own communities and monetizing them with subscription fees Following communities, topics and users

    Why the fuck would anyone want to PAY to use reddit?

    NFT profile pictures

    Roftlol. Copy-paste source image. Or print screen mspaint crop and swap.

    Why are you crying so hard? No scam is involved, we are a legit startup. Don't use it if you didn't like it.

    [–]Alienhunter 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

    Mate if you're going to do a startup you gotta go with shit people actually want. Look at the reddit activity numbers that platform is dead. You gotta be thinking of the next TikTok. What you're doing is the equivalent of AOL message boards sponsored by Enron.

    Now this is a more positive feedback, thank you. If this were on Boardz, I would have a chance to tip you as a small gesture. The "crowd" wants shitposts everywhere but it doesn't create any value at all if you think about it and corrupts society. That's why people like me will never use TikTok or even Instagram. Sites like Reddit, StackExchange and forum sites etc. still drive a lot of traffic and have a use that other "popular" platforms cannot provide. We at Boardz are trying to syntesize forum systems with micropayments. It's worth a try.

    Good luck mate you take on the risk you reap the reward.
