Without it my comment will not appear in the community. Lemmy does this automatically under the hood, but I use a different software (it is closer to a microblog than a forum).

Fediverse is tens of thousands of instances. You may need a VPN to access your home instance (e.g. if it is blocked in your country), the rest of the network can be accessed from there.
I never heard about instances doing KYC (which is usually done by payments processors). If your home instance requires KYC, you can always move to another instance that doesn’t require it, because there are so many of them all across the world.

VPNs are not much different from the Fediverse, by the way. It’s just servers, they can be blocked by ISPs, and they can geoblock users. This is also true for Nostr relays, IPFS gateways, Tor relays, etc.

If you already have another coin, Trocador Swap is the easiest option (and you can get the best rates).

@monero

Fediverse is very good at censorship resistance, much better than alternatives.
If internet is restricted in your country, use a VPN. If you’re an admin, move your server to a different country.

If internet is not restricted, then there is nothing to worry about.

>Originally there was supposed to be 1 network, run by the engine council.

Yes, but then the devs decided to not take risk. That makes sense, and I don’t see why there shouldn’t be another network.

Fragmentation might negatively impact user experience, but it is not a huge problem, and it can be mitigated by implementing federation. I even suggested a possible architecture when federation was discussed in the matrix room.

This website can be replaced with a mitra instance. It is compatible with I2P and can process Monero payments.

Installation is not difficult but feel free to contact me if you need help.
