Can always double your network further by checking out fediverse communities with your shared interests. And try the microblog, which is effectively focused Twitter by magazine. Obviously you're more than welcome to blog here on EF and then anywhere else your interests lie!
Notice: kbin's reached the point all tech reaches where pics of naked people (and artistic renditions of naked people) are beginning to show up -- especially as federation is now up and running. And they should! Bodies are beautiful.
BUUUUUUUUT if you are sensitive to it or browse at work, kindly remember to 1. hover over your username in the top-right ... 2. go to Settings ... 3. and under General/Appearance choose "Hide adult content" ... in order to prevent a good amount of this from showing on your homepage.
I say "a good amount" because it is early days and some content creators are either forgetting to or maliciously choose not to select "NSFW" when submitting. Protect yourself. And yes, if you see any content that is absolutely unacceptable, report it (in the "more" menu on a post).
With <50 comments a day, I mean, I'm fine with it. After all, the goal is to one day have our own server which will have ethfinance AND ethfunance run by us, for us.
First, good on the Verge for actually pushing that line of questioning; it's important. I'm no particular fan of Verge reporting but this is legit and should be commended.
Second, spez KEEPS. FUCKING. SAYING. "OUR DATA." And it just makes me want to smack him (via protest). It is OUR -- you and me and content creators' -- data. Not theirs. They pay for infrastructure and indexing and are allowed to eke out a margin of profit by feeding us ads. Totally fine, for me at least. This harvesting of user IP has always been an unspoken truth and accepted thing, but now the exploitation of it and punishment of the owners is way beyond permissible.
Last, I'm seeing rumors they're watermarking content now on test subs? Anyone confirm?
tl;dr - seems as though Tether is more or less backed satisfactorily at banking institutions in... cough ... Bahamas, Bahamas, China, China, China, China, China, China, China (x7), and Qatar.
I suppose their money's as good as anyone's. Seems ok.
